The types of people in the game.

[mensa180]

The Mahogany Spitfire Pilot

Subscribers that sit behind their desk and do not actually fly.  These people rarely venture into the game, when they do they tend to do little flying and constantly correct everything on channels 2 and 200.  Even though they do little flying, they criticise the flying styles of the other players and try to give advice on things they know little about. They take great pride in correcting historical inaccuracies in the game and the grammar of other subscribers.  Whilst not in game, these people spend most of their time on the BBS and can get quite animated during debates.

Additionally, these types of people are usually greatly misinformed, and spread this misinformation without fathoming they could be wrong, it is a clown-like existence.

Missed-
 'The Scenario Flyer'- one who flies in the MA hoping that it will allow them to last longer where it matters- FSO/Scenarios!

Falls under "Grognard".

Especially if you wear goggles and a scarf while playing and turn the thermostat down reeeeeallly low to simulate the cold of 20,000 feet.

Thought some of you might get a kick out of this. It is from waaaaaaay back... I dont recall who the original writer was but it is right on target IMHO    Enjoy

Heh!  A classic -- thanks for posting that.  I think it was written by Holmes.

i would like for you to prove your theory about GVers. i do love a good gv fight and i happen to be fairly good at gvs. i also just wanna have fun  but i know i dont run to ack nor do i have to have the numbers to be able to fight someone, so i would like to see you prove me to be one of the ones you mentioned.

What a curios request!  Do you not know what type of GV player you are.  To UNDERSTAND my somewhat cynical take on the Sub categories, I recommend you roll film of your next GV exploit.  View the film and see how many keep moving up.  Unless your one of those catatonic Gv'ers.  Oh, and as for the request I don't have to prove anything to you.  You have to prove it to yourself.

Or

Question.... Is it better to have your V-base encircled by enemy tanks or is it best to push them back and contain them at the spawn ?

Quote from Stodd

So lynx I assume you belong to the    category?

If I thought you was anywhere near right I'd put me hands up for it but correcting your overwhelming powers of deduction is meaningless....so....whatever

I'm my own 'type' of player. In the eyes of some 'HO L337 H4XX0R DW33B' but I just try to have fun with it and lay back. I think I'm more chill though.

Chill:


Anyone who is just in the game for the sake of being in the game. They fly planes, do whatever they feel like, they make their own opinions about players by actually flying with them instead of crying because they take your base. (except rankers)

Enemies: Skyrock

Fixed.

Amusing, egos in a computer game

Didn't I make this thread in 2002 after a few months flying?

Shall I post....

































j/k  relax!


I saw alot of Fat Drunk Bastards (AHII Squad) in that thread

[RATTFINK]

I'm a cross between the Fighter & the "I wanna have fun" guy.

I have to be the jerk, I generally will pick on ranker pilots and be at 15k waiting to pounce them knowingly a good 5k above them just
so they have no room for error, typically they are flying tempest/262's no less

I would consider this to be more of a "Headhunter" type...  I also will hunt for the ranker pilots on occasion...

You'll be waiting awhile. I'm avoiding most of these recent "troll'ish" threads like the plague...  Although I do find this particular one interesting from a psychological point of view, anything I write would end up just being "fuel for the fire" I'm afraid...

Not this Headhunter, or the other 80th Headhunters.....
