All you anti Furball trolls need to get out of your Mom's basement, wash your Star Trek t-shirt and get a life. The MA is a boring mess for alot of people. Shade tree MacArthurs running CV's on the beach, useless vulching, score hounds, and the like just ruined it for me. For some people who work have families and jobs, jumping in the Furball and having good quick fights and flying with good like minded people is every bit worth $15.00! If some picktard from the MA comes over and flies in the Furball gets his little ego bruised because he got tooled don't mean he has to start a thread about how much "he" thinks it should be changed. Lord I wish we had a dot command ".slapinfacewithflightglove". There is nothing wrong with it the way it is now and if you don't like it, don't go in. :aok

Nope, DA is the place that has to get rid of it.

You see, many of you haven't played this game long enough to understand why we say what we say: system kills notifications have always been in DA like in MA. The matter is no one but the noobs landed kills in DA, because it was the place for the fight, where only the fight meant and everything else was nothing. And, indeed, what sense may have to land kills in a place where there's not even a score?

Read this thread yesterday at work, and out of curiosity went to furball area in the DA to see for myself.

conclusion: it was a good place to get some quick action, and experiment with f3 mode for the heck of it.


Got a few kills, got a few deaths, had a couple of good 1 vs 1, and some multi player engagements. Found
I am so used to non f3 mode, I couldnt really use it. Good place to work on, well what else, "furballin".

In general it was a good time, something different from the ma.

I will spend more time there in the future, as it is.

The way I see it its about choices, different arenas should be different, or else whats the use of having more than one arena.

I laugh when someone lands kills in the DA.  I don't remember anyone, other then noobs, doing that before the Welfare Arena was shut down.  A separate arena should be created for furballing, so the Duelists could be left alone in the Dueling Arena.

So, exactly why was it turned on?  I don't remember seeing any requests for it.  We ask for things, we don't get.  We don't ask, and we receive?  :rofl

  well a lot of new people play there and they enjoy landing there kills..Its as simple as that..Most people were brought up to win and crashing ur plane into the ground is goofy to a lot of folks. I think its funny that people landing planes in DA bugs u so much....So I say folks land em all IN the DA..

no perks, no points... just your name in lights!

I'll land in anywhere if I'm out of fuel or ammo, just habit i guess.  doesn't matter if i have kills or not.

I popped into the DA last night and I had a load of fun.

I had a good laugh with Agent360 as we seemed to keep coming 1-1.  We had some good fights K4 - Mossie.

<S> Agent360. 

I will never forget that shot you made as you where stalling on the rope and looking into the sun.  I was just coming over the top for the kill and one round put my starboard engine out immediatley and sent me into an inverted flat spin.  I did learn that I need to sharpen up my gunnery.  Looks like tracers are going off for a while.


Chanzz... I never did make it back over to you.  Something red kept appearing to distract me. <S>
