i spent an hour or so in there one night last week........only 1 good fight was found....that was stickpig and oldman in their hurris.....i thought i had found a nice one when i dropped into 4 badguys in my zeke......but then a 190 and a f4u joined./....the fu4 ho'd me..although i didn't expect that from him..thought the picking 10 was......but anyay, he PW'd me......so i headed for the runway.....and the 190 vulched me on landing......

o well.......someday it might turn fun again

1 whole hour ... that's quality time ... and a fair enough time for a sampling of the arena to make a swiping statement.

If you expect to fly in ANY arena and not get HO'ed, ganged, or vulched somewhere along the line ... then you are only kidding yourself.

SLAP/.....I've flown with ya in there in the past....and i fly almost exclsivly in there.......i only spent such a short time there due to the lack of good fights......
 i do understand someone somewhere is gonna vulch or ho....and sometimes run(although they'll claim they're extending). my point was/is that whereas that used to be the exception, it seems to now be the rule. i also give in to the fact that i may net be in there enough, mostly because since i bought my shop, i'm not able to spend the time in game that i used to.....but that also creates part of the problem. i comein here for the fun fights, and to relax, or get the adrenniain rush from the great fights. having a 190 BnZ me from a 10k alt advantage, then berate me is not my idea of fun. having the same said 190 meet me almost co-alt at around 5k in my f6f, then run, claiming i had an alt advantage isn't fun. actually, although i really don't like the guy(actually despise him and am insulted he's allowed to breath the same air i do) he IS a good stick, and i think could've probably made his fw outturn my hellkitty. this is my point. when i'm in my hellkitty, i do try to fight the zeke or spit or hurri. when i'm in my zeke, same thing....same in anything i fly.......i don't run....it's not fun

anyway, back to work for me

No-one can HO you, unless you are already pointing your guns at him...
... and if you are, should he be prohibited to point guns at you as long as you your aim lasts???

Sounds like a pretty weird rule  :rolleyes:

lol slapshot come in arena you'll see 50 % of rooks 169th milking bases. Ghost66 if you kill them make them earn a base u get called bythc gay so on. and if they reset arena 6 rooks 1 other player on they will tell you  " YOU GOT SEREVED" tell me thats not lame........................ btw its ghost66 who calls others gay that says you got served lol...........

Yeah, Ghost66 is a dork.

And I do speculate that he enjoys the odd noodle now and then considering how often he accuses others of being gay.

That's kinda like Eaglefrt and the SOARs  making all the cheating accussations when most of them have 2nd accounts.

Please specify which definition of "odd" you are referring to:

1. differing in nature from what is ordinary, usual, or expected: an odd choice. 
2. singular or peculiar in a strange or eccentric way: an odd person; odd manners. 
3. fantastic; bizarre: Her taste in clothing was rather odd. 
4. leaving a remainder of 1 when divided by 2, as a number (opposed to even): Numbers like 3, 15, and 181 are odd numbers. 
5. more or less, esp. a little more (used in combination with a round number): I owe three hundred-odd dollars. 
6. being a small amount in addition to what is counted or specified: I have five gross and a few odd dozens. 
7. being part of a pair, set, or series of which the rest is lacking: an odd glove. 
8. remaining after all others are paired, grouped, or divided into equal numbers or parts: Everybody gets two hamburgers and I get the odd one. 
9. left over after all others are used, consumed, etc. 
10. (of a pair) not matching: Do you know you're wearing an odd pair of socks? 
11. not forming part of any particular group, set, or class: to pick up odd bits of information. 
12. not regular, usual, or full-time; occasional; casual: odd jobs. 
13. out-of-the-way; secluded: a tour to the odd parts of the Far East. 
14. Mathematics. (of a function) having a sign that changes when the sign of each independent variable is changed at the same time.

I fly EW most of the time. Only if it's really quiet will I check out other arenas. I was in MW recently, and didn't care much for the kill-stealers; don't see much of that in EW.  I usually ask (and have been asked) if a friendly needs help when I see him in a T&B fight.

I'm always looking for a fight; sometimes I win, sometimes I loose. It's the fight that's important to me, not the score. I will up a GV to help defend a base if needed, or anything that is needed to support a base-capture attempt.

The only time I will try to escape a dogfight is if I'm out of bullets or low on fuel. Even if I'm outta ammo, sometimes if fuel permits, I will engage and try to make the other guy auger  :t.

those boys just will not "fight" <snicker, fight> unless al, the ack is up and they have a full gang to attack with.

I flew that arena last night to see what the fuss was all about - and sure enough - it was all 8 on 1 gangbangs with ack hugging mixed in.  Actually there were only fights because a few of us went up to challenge the undefended base grabbing - had we not of upped, there would have been zero fights period.

Sad to see that arena completely degenerate to what it is.... I remember when they split the arenas, it was a fun place to find good fights...

I guess you missed the part where I said that I fly in MW 99.9999% of the time.

I see Ghost66 on ... yes he has a mouth that never stops, but I do not find him and his squaddies dominating by any stretch of the imagination.

As far as his taunting ... I got over people's taunting around 40 years ago.

Well, he and his squadmates are dominating....in THEIR imaginations. As for "his taunting"...does anyone really consider that weak stuff of his "taunting"?

Here we go again with the Soars. Everybody who complains about them probably never flew with them a bit to try to know who they are. Like in every squad there is some good guys and bad guys. Most of them are or were good ones though. Many players like to badmouth them in here but why exactly. If they want to take undefended bases all day long and are liking it who cares. Everytime they take a base it HAS to be undefended for sure. The Soars never fight right!  I was in that squad and at a time the Soars and Hired Guns had great battles. A time when scores were not as important as today perhaps. One of the things having split scores brought was having less players in EW. When there was only one score overall, many players were coming in EW to milkrun. So what... there were more players in the arena. I agree that Eagle has a tendency to put his foot in his mouth sometimes but if he and the Soars want to play for scores in there what is wrong with that. For some time now, Milkrunning was equal to Soars. I think many players are only seeing what they want but there are more than that squad who plays for milking. Without starting a milking war lets say that guys who post regularly on this board had their names as top rankings in EW but they were not Soars so it doesn't count.  :D
