I play cause it's fun and the people i get to talk to. I do look at score mainly to see what I have the most kills in, what I killed the most and whats killed me.

I play for fun. I like to grab a fast plane and circle above an enemy field watching them desperately trying to climb to shoot at me. Then I run when they get co-alt denying them the chance to fight. I find that funny as hell.

If I cared about score, I might actually go down and shoot at them.

Well, I don't play for score, since having a high score would require time, focus, and doing things I don't feel like doing. I only do that if I'm getting paid, and I'm not going to work all THAT hard even then.

I don't play for fun, since flying around in the AHII MA, trying to maintain the concentration nessecary to watch your back at all times, while trying to maneuever an aircraft around, avoid getting shot in the face, avoid gangbangs, and occasionally hit something, is about as not-fun as you can get this side of the dentist's chair.

I guess I play because I like animals too much to shoot them (except wild hogs! ugly destructive fiends! Like politicians, but with cleaner sexual habits), and shooting people leads to prison terms (Even politicians, unfortunately). So I shoot cartoon airplanes. If I can bring just a little dis-pleasure into someone's life by whacking their cartoon airplane, that gives me a warm inner glow.

Of course, the worst part is that occasionally, when a bandit INSISTS on being difficult and forces me to THINK and tries to wriggle off the hook before I shoot them (most annoying!), giving me much difficulty, the pervs almost act like they enjoy it. Whaddya mean "Salute"? Why the heck did I go to the trouble if they're just going to think I'm a jolly good fellow for blowing their pixel-plane out of the sky? Most vexing.

I play for the thrill that you get right when those rounds tear the wing off an enemy and that inner satisfaction as he tries in vain to regain control of his aircraft.  Forget it, little friend, it's over.  That and the hidden treasure!

I try to shoot down as many bad guys, while protecting my K/D.

Usually I start doing really well in either fighter or attack in a given tour.  Once one starts looking good, I fly the other for 'fun' and the good one as 'all business'.

I don't go furballing in my good K/D score option.

My favorite times are when I've been sorta buzzed on a Friday night, flying without giving a crap about my score, but I always have player's regret the next morning...see my sig.

I think every body plays for fun or they wouldn't be playing at all.

Hmm I do know a few guys that don't seem to have any fun, I'm seeing/hearing them complain incessantly every day... but all of them pure war win types (they call themselves "teamplayers") with no consideration to their score.

Been playing AH for fun for four years and counting. I'm not on enough thanks to real life to care at all about score.
