Akak I played Aw1 on AOL and AW3 on gamestorm over 12-13 years ago.  How old do you think I am?

you mean you got left out of the delphi, compuserve,etc and $6 to $12 an hour days????

Then you missed having to explain those huge credit card bills when they showed up.  It wasn't always pretty :)

In AW4W the most popular place for years was just that...a fight between the same bases (B85/A82) in the VOD.  When AW went to medium and large side maps, people lamented the loss of VOD and the same old battle between those two bases. 

I guess back then we were just happy to fight and didn't give a rat's bellybutton about capturing bases or winning the war, unlike you kids these days.

You do recall what most people thought of the crowd in the VoD though right? :)

you know back then Corky, noone ever mentioned anything about a new map or capturing a base

I just wanted to record a kill on Merch, Mute or Boozer closer to their own field than mine

Agreed.  I found AW in 96 at the end of the pay for play.  Just the idea that I could actually fly against other cartoon pilots was such a huge deal that I never thought about what the map was.  You knew where the fights were, and in general you knew who would be fighting where.  It was a big deal to get to download cockpit art so the 38 didn't look like a 51.

Seems like it was an ongoing fight between C83 and B83.  Can't remember what it number it was between A and C land.  A85 I think was where the fight tended to end up.  If you got really ambitious you flew a fighter sweep from C84 to the VoD just to cause trouble :)

VOD between B85 and A83 were always the most popular because the fields were the closest.  Czlanders had a mini-VOD at C83/B83 but the bases weren't as close as the VOD and the fights would end up devolving after a bit.  There was also the upper mini-VOD in the river above the Big Pond but those bases too weren't as close as the Az/Bz VOD.  I remember a lot of Czlanders would just pack as much fuel as we could and just fly in VOD until we died or fuel ran out.

Please, akak doesn't know the first thing about trolling.

LOL!!

I guess you don't remember this little troll of mine that got you and a few other Muppets.  True, not my best work but still got you  :D

Why not take advantage of this 'uber' plane that is free to fly?  Oh and how many perks should it cost to fly smart guy, a million bajillion?

I had many of my most memorable 1 on 1's and 1 on 2's in the VOD.  You never see a furball breaking into 1:1/1:2 these days.
I edit a lot of my posts.  Get used to it.
