Bottom line is this:

If the target has not exploded, bailed, or augered it is not dead. If you dont want your kill to be stolen MAKE IT EXPLODE. End of story.

In some ways I agree, but when you have to give up your alt advantage and potentially a lot of ammo to make a spit with it's left wing missing, maple leafing to the ground "explode" when it's clear to even a noob the plane is seconds away from meeting the ground it stinks..

all ya gotta do is remember that you might get around 300-1000 kills a tour without even trying hard. then ones you lose dont matter as much

2nd I suck and resent what little good I do being "stolen".

3rd I get mad easy :-)

I was there. Somewhere along the line I remember you telling him that if he "confessed" his sin (pun intended), that you would not post the video.

What about posting the UN edited film? The part where the above conversation happened.

Yes the guy is a noob. He was a noob all night. He was saying and doing noob things. He even admitted to being a noob. You also had him rattled about posting the video. You humiliated him in the MA. Now you post the PARTIAL video here with the express intent of shaming him yet even more? I, personally do not like being quoted out of context, and I'm fairly sure that no one else does either.

I've seen Lute, VansCrew, SkyRock, Fester, SCCA, and many others, kill completely on the first pass, henceforth making a "kill steal" un-possible to use the words of another one-shot/one kill guy (Lusche)

To be absolutely candid, if it is smoking, missing parts, etc BUT still carries a RED tag, I will shoot at it. I may not intentionally chase it down, but if it passes within my field of fire, I will be putting rounds downrange, especially in a furball. The theory for this is that if its not dead, it still has the potential to kill me.

There is no "kill stealing" per se, only finishing off the job correctly. If one makes a career out of chasing halfway disabled planes to finish the kill that is entirely different. Especially if it becomes a habit.

If you can get to the con before me and your gunnery is superior to mine (which unfortunately for me is most of the time), than you deserve the kill. Kudos to you, with all sincerity.

I think the only time I am irked is when I am in a clearly slower aircraft (Hurri, etc), about to acquire a guns solution and just as I squeeze off a few rounds, some yahoo in a faster plane swoops in to shoot at the con I was chasing. Guess which plane the rounds hit? Guess who winds up in the tower? Something about friendly fire........

Not to be a troll here myself, but why edit the video? We all know how to FF and rewind. And, why embarrass the guy twice. Even the convoluted, and backasswards U.S. justice system has rules about double jeopardy.

You didn't happen to record it did you? It happens so infrequently, I would like to see it again

It's possible:lol

With the DJ business and all, I have almost 2 TB (no not GB but TB) of storage for all of my munsic, video, karaoke, etc. I use the AH computer for almost nothing else except AH2. Once I get a bunch, I put them on the "library" computer. but sometimes the filenames clash (i.e. AHFILM76). In my haste to make room, they often get a random keystoke (kujygi) for a name. I can usually track them by date though. I do try to get rid of some, though, such as me farting around in the tower for 20+ min. trying to figure out how I'[m gonna die next.

I was jamming along in a 152 about 5K above a furball over a field being attacked, a lone spitfire came plodding up was still at autoclimb speed.. just dipped my nose and plugged him.. ripped his wing off..

watched him spiral down..

it was kinda funny watching 4 or 5 green cons dart out of the school to chew on my leftovers..

so many of them took a pop that even though they blew him up I still got the kill.. so all was good.

and humorous to boot.. reminded me of feeding fish.

Sinner you do realize that as a result of this about 1/3 of your "fellow countrymen" are gonna swoop your cripples just to get a rise out of you:D

Holy Jebus I ain't heard a bunch of women argue like this without a highheel being thrown or a purse being slung....

Lighten up Ladies, It's a game.

I had Squadies that would steal my kills and laff at me in doing so just to see if I got pissssed.

It's just a "Game" Girls.

Not stealing a squaddie kills is grounds for being bounced from the BKs ... hence my signature.

All I got outa this threa is how much Cap1 and redman555 remind me of Warlie-locks. It's downright eerie. `Cause man, I sure don't believe multiple accounts exist in AH.
