The types of people in the game.
« on: September 24, 2008, 08:07:56 PM »
Ok, so through my 2 1/2 year career as an Aces High player (started in April of '06) I have seen a lot of the different types of players in the game. I'll just list them and see if you agree/disagree, think I forgot something etc.

1. Ranker

He/she will do anything for his name to be up in lights on the Aces High webpage. They pick there fights (usually BnZ type players), and usually milk run empty fields/undefended strat targets etc. Many people don't like the way this player plays and think its silly.

Enemies:
All groups.

2. The Fighter

He/she will do anything for a fight, whether it be a duel, furball fight etc etc. Most do not care for rank, and most will switch sides looking for a good fight. They sometimes start fights and sometime pick there fights. Many of the most talented and respected players fall into this category.

Enemies:
Warmonger, Armchair General and Ranker.

3. The Bomber

He/she flies almost purely Bomber/Attack aircraft. Level bombing, dive bombing etc. Destroying things is the name of the game for them. Many extremely talented and respected players occupy this group.

Enemies:
Fighter (more of a rivalry), Ranker, and Armchair General.

4. The Gv'er

He/she almost purely fights in tanks. Wether it be a tank fight, spawn camp, destroying a town etc etc, they do it all. The furball normally doesn't matter to them. Once again, many talented and respected players fall into this group.

Enemies:
The Bomber (more of a rivalry), Ranker, Armchair General.

5. The "I wanna have fun" guy

These players do anything to have fun. They normally come home from work/school and just want to get away from life for an hour or two. They normally log on and will do whatever is needed (pork a base, bring in troops, join a mission etc etc). Many players, from all groups, fall into this.

Enemies:
None.

6. Warmonger

Most of these types are strictly one sided and are the "I wanna win the war" type of guys/gals. Highly respected by many players on there country. They usually lead missions, pork bases, and try to capture fields. Most are very open to idea's.

Enemies:
Armchair General, Ranker, Fighter.

7. Armchair General

This is a Warmonger, taken to the extreme. This type sits in the tower/hanger/O'club etc. and order players around, wether it be to pork a base or capture one, they simply will not do anything, which is the big difference between a Warmonger and a Armchair General.

Enemies:
All groups.

8. The New guy

Usually on his/her 2 week trial, many will ask question after question regarding the game. Many other players dislike them/tired of them after a short while. Everybody started out this way, wether it be in this game or another.

Enemies:
None.

9. The "Jerk"

These types are split into 3 sub-groups: The cocky player (who does anything to show off his skills), The "piss anyone off" player (who usually targets new guys and so on), and types that fit into both. Disliked greatly by most other groups, these types usually fit into the "Ranker" group as well.

Enemies:
Everyone but the Ranker.


Does this seem relatively accurate?

10. The l337 H4xx0r

He will hack until banned, then hack another account, then get banned, then hack, then.. oh why do I even bother.

  the game is concentrated on combat, not on shaking the screen.

I feel some players drift between these categories depending on the day.
I have days when rank really starts to matter for me, then days when I can up from a vulched field 10 times and get killed just as many without it bothering me.

Good start subway, but I believe there's even more types than what you list here.

I have been all of the above mentioned style of players at some point of my three years of playing. Where I will be this time next year?
I think most have been one of these types on any given day! ;)
