SA is kinda a joke in the MAs with icons and all.  You're either AFK and completely out of it or you should be able to see them coming from a mile away.

Actually you only hope that to make you feel better about how you normally fly.


No.  The point is, if you are going to stand on a pedestal and tell people how to fight honorably, you had better live it.  Corky, is actually the only guy that does live it.  The rest of you pick just as much as the rest of us.  As for how I fly, I would say I fly pretty much like you, only a lot better.

It's only a pedestal from your point of view.

I do not interfere with a 1vs1, if I am fighting a 1vs1 and a friendly jumps in I brake away to let the red guy deal with the new threat, chances are the red guy will win, then we can continue our fight :-).    of course it dont always work out that way,  I have flown that way since the begining of my AH career, I will not change the way I fly just because the majority of the MA fly differantly then I do.

Here's film that was taken earlier this month of me and kappa fighting at disadvantage against the 80th headhunters.  They were really good fights, and we were lucky to come out alive, but oh so quickly you guys forget about things like this.  Here's your reminder(s):

The first one in particular.  The second because I enjoy shooting shuffler's P38 into a million pieces.  Especially when he is diving down to 'pick' me.  Oh the humanity!!

Cap, no doubt, I enjoy a good three chesspiece fight.    I have found a few in AH that understand Honor and apply it to AH, thats because that is how they are naturally. I Dont blame the ones that dont, ignorance is bliss,if I get picked, my own SA is to blame, or my target fixation:-)

Shuff's point is no different then mine.  No one has claimed they've never picked or come into a fight with an advantage.  I don't recall the 80th ever claiming anything but enjoying flying 38s, having fun and not taking the game too seriously.  To try and make it anything beyond that is just silly Grizz.  I would suggest it's a good time to let it go.

As I think it is silly to make up arbitrary, subjective rules that nobody even adheres to themselves.  Except you, I have lots of respect.  :salute

While the game will forever remain silly, how people get treated in it, will always be a serious thing to me :)
