lost mucho respect for two squads today..

[SlapShot]

Salute SkyRock. I did receive your PM, but decided to post my reply here, in the hope that someone new may gain something from it.
Our Squadron, the Aces & 8s, play this game because we really enjoy the challenges it presents. We grouped together as a squad because we have a similar sense of the game play offered to us and how we wish to play the game. The action here is very fluid. One minute we may be rolling bases, the next usually finds us defending one or more bases. While some of us love to furball more than GV, or GV more than bombing, we all try to play every venue the game offers. We may not now, or ever, be as good in any one particular area as some squads are, but we will try our best to get there.
Our Squad is fairly new as far as squads go. We have been together as the Aces & 8s for 2 years now. Our Membership ranges from players with less than a year in-game, to some having almost a decade logged on the boards. I myself have been here for just about 7 years. Our Squaddies backgrounds vary from the "lone wolf" player to the veterans from many great squads such as the MAW, Precision, Vipers, The Few and many more. From this broad spectrum of players, we draw on each other to better not only our game-play, but to add to the game the "Esprit De Corps" that makes each and every great squad who and what they are.
Our moto is; Teamwork, Honor and Respect. Each A8 is required to adhere to this to the best of his/her ability. Of the 3, I believe Respect to be the one trait I would like the Squad to be known for. Respect not only for our opponents, but Respect for ourselves as well. If not for the Respect issue, I would not even have replied here. I most likely would have placed the entire thread into my "mind over matter" file (I don't mind and it don't matter). BUT... the A8s have a sense of Respect for the AOM, (even BiP, salute Bro) and all of the Muppets' Squaddies. Enough Respect that I felt this thread warranted an explaination of why the A8s work and play together.
Notice that I capitalize the "R" in Respect. I believe that Respect is a pronoun. Respect is a living being that causes us to conduct ourselves in a certain manner. Respect of the ACK keeps the hard core furballer off of the opponents fields and Respect of the Tiger keeps the M3s running wide right of the base. Of all the Respect I have for this game and it's players, I have the most Respect for the Aces & 8s. They put up with my BS on a daily basis. The A8s will run my ill thought missions without reserve. Any one of them will bail out of a perked ride to run supps to anyone, anywhere, even if the recipient isn't an A8, if I just ask them to. This is the Respect that we believe binds us together and affords us the humility, in defeat, to learn to do better and try to be as good as our opponents. Opponents such as Lusche (Snailman), Bruv, Dr7, SlapShot, 999000, SkyRock and many, many others here in Aces High.
Respect for the Aces & 8s is the reason the word "condone" doesn't apply here. To infer that I would have to disregard or overlook something that is objectionable by another player or squad is not my idea of genuine Respect. I Respect the fact that they set a goal and achieved that goal, even if it was TT. If I have to condone their actions, the Respect we have for one and other, would fade fast. Our Respect for other Squads would also pale in comparison to the genuine article. Believe me when I say, the A8s have the most pristine of Respect for the Army Of Muppets as well as all of the more honorable Squadrons in Aces High.
Now let me ask you this. Which do you, as CO of the AOM, prefer? The Respect of a Squad that has the intestinal fortitude to stand by their beliefs and convictions, or that of a Squad that renders Respect as if it were the greeting of the day?

Salute! Balls

Nice post Balls ... <<S>>

Sounds like your squad could be a reincarnated version of the MAW ... and that's a good thing ...

Seeing that you threw a whole lot of "Respects" around in that post, how about you and your squad Respect the intended design use of any TT/Furball area and leave the "capture" mentality at the door when flying in that area ... with the exception of capturing the bases in these areas that originally were owned by your country.

I respect no one who plays computer games. I pour candle wax on my nipples as punishment every time I play. Or maybe its for sexual arousal. I don't know.
I thought I'd just add something to this thread.

I'm not sure what skyrocks problem is.  Yesterday he comes to an enemy field trying to be captured from a CV.  He goes on vox and whines about the fighter hangers being put down, saying he thought there would be a fight there.  Well, there was, then we got the FH down and got some breathing room to capture the base.  Then he goes on to say bunch of land grabbing morons or something to that affect.  (This is on the huge map, I mean there are 50+ places to go and fight, but he comes to this one to criticise those trying to make a capture)

After being sure to vulch some IL2's on the rw, yup, you guessed it, he lands his kills at this base that was just captured by the very group that he was criticizing moments before. lol.   

[SkyRock]

Pull out ur screenshots boi, I asked why you had to kill FH's when you had 50 planes cappin the field, I was subsequently verbally attacked by your apeheads.  I responded accordingly.  If you're going to come in here and post lies, don't.

After wasting time reading 6 pages of meaningless banter, there is only one logical conclusion, to wit: RumbleB's statement is the only statement that makes sense.  SOME participants in this WOT thread really need to get a real life...IMNSHO.

Finally something worthy of replying too...Congrats Grandpa

I think that all V bases are open for capture and the single air base on TT should never be closed. HTC should put a red square on it.

What about the people who go to tt to gv don't you think they should have a chance to do their thing?
