Ruining the only "good" fight
« on: April 09, 2010, 10:59:00 AM »
Last night I was in LW Blue on the NDIsles map.  The Rooks had taken P55 in the NW from us.  Myself and a few others fought to take it back, then fought off a few fighters and PT boats to hold it as the Rooks tried to take our CV south to hide it.  In the meantime someone managed several hits on it from the shore battery lighting it up but not sinking it.

After the Rooks quit trying to take P55 again I upped a 109K-4.  I had to fly all the way to the Rook base to the south to find a dar bar and when I got there the guy landed so I flew out, ditched my K-4 and upped a set of Bostons to go look for the our CV.

Near the same time two other friendlies upped buffs too with the same thing in mind.  One of them found and sunk our flaming CV but reported that there was another in the area.  Myself and the other set of buffs criss-crossed the area looking for it.  I finally found it and dropped my bombs alerting the others to where it was and the third set of buffs took it down.

Just after my drop I was attacked and killed by <names removed to protect the dweebs> in a Ta-152 and a Bf-110G-2.  They immediately started criticizing me (and the Bish in general) for "killing the only good fight on the map".  The only good fight?  Those two and three sets of buffs trying to keep the Rooks from hiding our CV?  Like killing a CV no one was using really made a difference to them flying land based planes.   :rolleyes:

It's funny what some people consider a "really good fight".

That wasn't that good of a fight. The best fights are like the one I had on Wed's with an F4u. He never saw my gondo-laden G14 spiral down to his six. After I cut him in half with cannon fire, the salute went out. His was a good fight. I felt great seeing him go down  - and what could be "gooder" than that? Okay, maybe chucking beer bottles at a moron is better than that, but what's better than that online - besides porn, of course?

But that hall-of-fame battle can hardly be compared to the really good fights you get when that last emplacement has been destroyed, the enemy field is deacked, and the vulch light is on. I admit to feeling genuine admiration for the brave pilots when they still up into the teeth of vulch after vulch. Damn, nat's good fightins! I salute you, Sir, is what I tell 'em after killing them as they struggle to get their engines lit. Sometimes, I'll send a personal message, too, just to lend the human touch. Usually, it's something like, "dear <>, I salute you, killing you made me feel real good about myself. Please try to up again. Thems good fightins."

Can we get some more newbies? Lately, the fights haven't had the old luster.

Your guys were just crybabies because they didn't get to vulch or ho you.

Incidentally, I recommend we have custom arenas where other players are forced to be immobile so that you can have "good fights" with 'em.
Some say revenge is a dish best served cold. I say it's usually best served hot, chunky, and foaming. Eventually, you will all die in my vengeance vomit firestorm.

The only common trait of a "good fight" on these boards is one where the proclaimer of goodness is the guy doing the killing.

I think a good fight is 3+ merges. 

Unless they're all HOs of course then its a horrible fight.

Had a fun little fight with JAM in his Ki-84 last night.  The first time I had to duck out early as the phone rang just as we merged and it hosed my merge up good and proper so I dove out and headed home with a few bullet holes.  Feeling bad I offered to give it another go and we agreed to meet away from the crowd on the other side of the island and we had a good little brawl at 5-6k up against the side of a hill in a little bowl depression. Again I didn't merge particularly well and he got a couple shots off on me and I had worked it around and set up a nice snap shot in turn (which I missed of course) I was feeling good about my self that I had managed to turn the tables somewhat against a Ki-84 in a low speed fight... and then I noticed that the hill side was getting rather large... in setting up the shot I hadn't paid enough attention to the fact that we had drifted towards the edge of the little bowl we were in and I put my poor 38G right into the side of it a second later.  

I lost, I got beat, but it was still fun. :)

A good fight is a fight where you merge 3 times? LOL.
