Why Score is a Joke...

[papjohns]

pap johns as your score doctor your Kills per hour in both fighter and attack are sucking horribly.  Also you haven't captured any bases and this will drag you right down at the end of the month!

I'd put you only top 100 if you don't knuckle down and try harder.

LoL; I think my point has been lost about 3 pages ago...I give up. Trying to make a rational argument in this forum is like trying to attempt to...



I surrender to the stupidity of the internetz    

I am going to step away for a while before my IQ drops another 15 points....

i think when you start to worry about score, rank, ect. It starts to take away the Fun of the game, its not like your going to use it in real life, lol i can see it now .... well Johnny what makes you qualified to flip burgers here at MickyD's..... well sir im a elite online pile-it whose ranked at #1 in the Skyz, defending the american wayz from intruderz, and besides my mom said i had to get a job

As of yesterday, I was No. 1 in the AvA arena and that was by accident.

These folks get it.   Just have fun.




In regards to herding cats above....

We were once on a trail drive 600 cats strong. We had to cross a busy highway. We only had 32 when we reached the other side. As we looked back at the highway all we could see is kitty litter.

alright Zoom, who is the babe?

Hold your rank until the end of the month if you think its so easy. 

lol 1 night of me flying put me to number 1 in Mid-war fighters......kept that with like 5 more sorties for the rest of the month

To summarize:

1)  Scores make one feel better about getting killed in a violent, non-fire-retardant manner by better pilots;
2)  Everyone that has been flying in the MA knows who the more adaptive, creative and skilled pilots are because of #1;
3)  The skilled pilots in #2 know who they are and almost ALWAYS try to help you when you ask because they know that person sux;
4)  Pilots who do not accept #2 accuse anyone of "cheating" that hammers their bellybutton when they aren't watching, ie the Grizz tater deflection shot (don't read ankle hump here, read
     amazement and wonder);
5)  This game isn't real (thought I would throw that in here for the pragmatists);
6)  Scores are dependent upon HOW YOU FIGHT.  BnZer = Low kills per hour, high kill to death ratio, etc, Furballer = High kills per hour, horrible K/D ratio;
7)  Exceptionally skilled pilot = KILL YOU IN EITHER SITUATION depending upon their mood...you know who they are because of #2 and their "score" remains stable.

I would like to bring up another point....personal articles lost during battle.  Sometime ago, Kappa blew my entire aircraft into tiny pieces with such a violent explosion that my Nike Air Jordan shoe ($180 a pair) was blown INTO his aircraft to which he promised to return the shoe to me in a timely manner.  I still do not have my shoe back...even with the charred, melted inserts, I want my shoe back.  Now, normally I have not asked for things back...Shuffler has my timex watch, TonyJoey has my college OU baseball hat (my eyebrows were burned off on that one), Grizz has my wallet (I called him a cheater and a showoff on that one...it didn't have any money in it so he can keep it), and Kappa has my shoe.

Guys....you can't keep my crap....you just can't.  Please call HiTech, drop them in the lost and found and I will drive by there and pick them up...no questions asked...but I want my crap back.

PS - READ DODGER's SIGNATURE.....this game is about the fight boys because the good pilots are gonna kill you either way and laugh about scores.  Get mad, get even and have fun...

<S> Papajohn....I smell what you're steppin in and agree.

Seems there are alot of folks who fly just a few sorties in all arenas in fighter then fly attack the rest of the time.

Another reason it means nothing really.

Seems there are alot of folks who fly just a few sorties in all arenas in fighter then fly attack the rest of the time.

But if you do otherwise and  fly most of your sorties in fighter mode, someone will come along and accuse you of just trying to protect your attack rank

Put everyone on an equal footing if they care that much.  Sill the "secrets" to a 3000% Damage Hit Percentage.

How many years did the score potatoes run around bombing and jumping to gv's for a high score before someone outed the "strategy" and HTC fixed the exploit?
