Firstly -your plane's engine sounds like an alarm and makes my ears bleed.

Secondly - blame yourself for trying to defeat 7-9 guys without a single advantage. They looked like they had nothing else to shoot down in that sector until your came along rambo style.

Haha, nice.

That's some funny soup right there Junky.

           I got jumped by all of the Pigs last night @ A239 minus you and Krup LOL....... I mean the whole friggin crew..... I set a new record for overshoots and then Way plowed into me on the way to the garage. All in all I thought it was pretty funny trying to dodge 7 or 8 aircraft....... Can't let it get on top of ya.

...either that or adjust the scoring system. It would most likely be a coading nightmare (but HT is soooooo good I'm sure he could do it with ease  :D ) but they could coad it so that if there is 1 or 2 guys after a lone guy you get full points, but as you add each additional guy in on the lone guy you split the points AND kill with everyone else with in 1k. The lone hunter, or winged pair would earn full points where "gangs" would earn only partial points.

Absolutely bad idea...for those who play for rank and score. 

Pretend I'm one of the score/rank guys:
I'm fighting with a guy, a friendly ignores my "I'm good please stay out".  Then another, and another...soon I've got 5-6 "helpers" and now my hard-earned kill (if I'm even awarded the kill) is worth 1/6?  WTF?  How's that fair?

How is it fair for you to stay in the fight when that many friendlies join in?

You are assuming they are all trying to kill him for score which is simply not true.  Most of those guys just want to record a kill.

Ok, next time I'm in a good fight and others jump in to "help" even when I call them off...I'll just fly away and do some sightseeing.  I guess you want the bullies to rule the playground.  "Hey, that one green guy seems to be having fun...let's gang that single con he's fighting and he'll just leave so we can have fun instead of him."

By staying in, how are you not becoming a bully yourself?

If the fight is your fun it has already been ruined. Why contribute to further ruining it for your opponent?

Simple remove scoring system

I would be willing to bet that the guys in that horde all have fighter scores in the thousands. 

People don't do this because of score.  If they do, that's why they have a score in the thousands.  People do this because they have nothing else to shoot at, and because they suck.

It's amazing the amount of times I get jumped, alone, by more than 5 guys. What's more amazing is the name of the guy who gets the kill. usually some 733t stick who you'd assume wouldn't need to gang so hard but quite obviously does.

How did this all end Junky? Did you get away? Looks like you were in deep #&$* when the film ended...
I agree this is a little extreme.. I did see your name on a people to kill list the other day. Maybe the mob attacking you thought there was a reward. LOL.

Well, let's examine the evidence.  We can throw all other evidence out except for the fact that the film ended with him staring out of the window of the tower, forlornly.  Well, that and I smelled bacon...

It'll stop happening when the whining about it stops being so dang funny... so I'm guessing no time soon.


Seriously though, as others have said, it's simply a matter of you being the only target in the area, seen it done with both red and green guys, it's not news.

You jumped into that sea of red alone and expected them to all stand off?   How long have you played this game?

Pretty much spot on, blood thirsty newb is blood thirsty.
