P.S.  And this is funny coming from one of the most disrespectful cartoon personalities of all time.

Aww, another squeaker with his feelings hurt. Go back to suckling Grizz's teet, little one. Keep it on the squad forums too.

Those whom I've helped and those who I've flown with know how respectful I really am to this game and the ideals it represents.

Personal preference it seems, but i do like Corky's way of playing the game... i guess that comes from my AW days also   :old:

i like the low fights. they're not common in the main arenas any more though. corky seems to have this magnet that draws the red guys down to him. i wish it were the same in mw, but i normally find them up high. for this reason, i started becoming one of the high flyers. granted, i've had a couple of great fights up there, but i more often than not found guys that would run away if i was at the same alt.

 now, i go to the ava. no one runs away there. no one really picks there. rarely get ho'd, rammed(rammey rammed me once, bu5t i truly believe that was my sole fault), vulching is rare......and i've spent hours having fights where you were considered an alt monkey if you were above 5k alt.
 i like it there.

Wait, so... are we supposed to pick or not?  I'm so confused!

Wiley.

Two ways to look at this Wiley.  Since I'm generally an optimist, I'm going to believe that in the end you deserve the most credit in this thread, at least for perpetuating it on and on and on.  If that's the case, congrats.  You hooked us all.

Now if I was a pessimist, I'd believe you are as dumb as a rock, since the general consensus has been the same since about page 3. Play how you want to play.  If you are respectful and show a bit of courtesy to the other players in the game, more power to you.  Should you choose not to, don't expect a pat on the back for it.  So pick away knowing that depending on the circumstance folks may approve or disapprove.  Whether that matters is up to you.

But as I said, I'm and optimist, I like to believe the best in folks.    Nice work :aok

Great advice.  I play the game with full expectation to be picked, horded, ganged, shot into a million pieces by the enemy every time i take off.

As the one link between both squads, I'm clearly to blame. If I was eliminated, none of this would happen and olive branches would be extended between all 3 countries. Then the game would cease to exist. Except for a monthly gathering to chat with friends and fly some formation. You need me.

That's like a bad FOX news quote there Grizz.  You only snipped what fit for you.  Don't forget the respectful and courtesy to other players part too :)

The only thing I really took issue with was the fact that the dueling advocates seemed to me to expect the battlefield to warp around their 1v1 as a rule, and also seemed to be on about how unselfish and morally awesome they were.  I merely felt it was worthwhile to point out that expecting that was no less selfish than clearing someone's 12 in the wrong circumstances.  I do admit I have a tendency to be a bit pointed when I perceive hypocrisy.  I wouldn't say I was 'trolling' per se, I was just illustrating my arguments with a fair bit of color.  :)

The entire thing's been moot since page 3, like you say.

Now if only I could get the cat/clothesline thing out of my head, it would be a good day...

Wiley.
If you think you are having a 1v1 in the Main Arena, your SA has failed you.

I've seen you guys do that a number of times. However, there was one element present that is not always present and when that element is absent a different standard is upheld. Would you care to guess what that element is?

Duct tape would work well.

These back-to-back posts are not getting nearly enough love.
