It's good to be back.
« on: December 18, 2008, 08:04:47 PM »
So I decided not to let people get me down and resubscribed. I called HTC and asked if my account could be reactived, but it appearently can't. Fortunetly the handle "SkyTiger" was available, so all it required was a new account.

My score stinks. I need the Tank Town map so I can get some 1vs1s going again and get at least an even ratio. I got put on the Rook team this time and it's quite different. There's just.. a different atmosphere. I wouldn't say better or worse, just a change.

These last couple days have mostly been me and my fellows being outnumbered and me dying quite a bit. I can usually get in a kill first, but sometimes I fail in even that.

Tonight I was taught a "valuable lesson" by one of AH2s real "pro players". He descended from the heavens, took me by the hand and guided me towards AH2 greatness with his words of advice.


This is the film:

He also sent me some funny pms about how crappy my rank is and how great his is.

The lesson learned:

Even if a plane has its wing or tail shot off, or is on fire and falling, or has no engine, one should always, always, always chase it down and keep shooting it. There's the off chance that the person who "killed" it did just enough damage to cripple it and wants to conserve ammo. Hence, someone willing to waste ammo on a dead target might be able to steal a kill. And points/kills mean EVERYTHING to some folks, even above being a decent person or showing any kind of class.

My path to the really great ranks has begun!  :salute

Yup. That'd be me. I'm impressed you figured it out. Have you considered becoming a PI?

88 hours per week?  :lol

Naw, no one's really gotten to me. I just thought it was an amusing story to tell. I got yelled at a lot for posting AARs, so I figure I might post funny things like this from now on. Especially when "pros" like that guy try to justify being an e-tard.

I've pissed him off bigtime a few times, still waiting for that vox rant. I was on vox when he an AZDEVIL went at it though, THAT was hilarious.

Well! .....welcome back.  Just for your information, if you haven't figured it out already,  double click ANY name in the films roster and you can see from there perspective.   

Also even though you are rook this time round you can switch sides once per hour.  Up to you to do that but it's not good form to pass on information about missions or CV locations having done so.
