Kill to Killed ratio

Get back in the game soon man!

Bone, we gotta DA some more, I need tuning up for the tourney!  I need all the help I can get.

I would gladly acccept,except I am not conected to internet.....wont be for a bit yet.........(excep via this phone)and besides I was just pokin fun at ALL who are afraid to die in a game, those who avoid combat in a combat game, comparing real life to this game is asinine,period.     if you were insulted by my words...."if the truth hurts change your reality".....its a game.....flyin the way you and many others do is silly

Absolutely no disrespect intended to anybody, but is it your contention that there is a NON-silly way to play this game?  A good number of us are grown men playing a high tech version of cowboys and indians...  and there is honor to be found here?  We're all sitting around in our bunny slippers, pants optional, half of us with a drink in hand, playing a game online probably for way more hours than we should...  Sorry, but I'm having trouble seeing this as serious business...

The way guys like Zoney get their fun is to stay alive at all costs, kill where they can.  It's can be an annoying style to play against, I agree.  It's no more silly than diving into a pack of red and then thumping your chest at the fact you got a couple of them before you died.

It's ALL silly.

Actually, what am I being nice for?! Ardy and Ink have insulted me.

Wait I've insulted you by saying that Erich Hartmann was a good pilot?
I'm sorry if I did, that wasn't my intentions as I stated in my post.

Unlike AH, in WW2, you didn't know where the enemy was, so many flight you might not find a con. In AH all you have to do is look at the radar bars.

Neither Ink or I is Eric Hartman so your challenge has no relevance and proves nothing.

That being said, I'll happily duel you in the DA.

If you don't believe my experience fighting your squad, My squady Squat1 will back me up, as he was there too. To be honest, I was surprised by the behavior, because over the years of playing this game, the LD have not been known to be timid.

BTW... Madda & Bone, when are we going to duel again??

Wiley~there absolutly is Honor here like any "game" the people make up the game, someone who lives by and understands Honor in real life, will most likely bring it to the game, sad to say most people today dont know what Honor, Integrity, Virtue, are, and live oblivious to these very important espects of humanity.

Ink your making too much sense, its their 15 bucks and they can act like a child if they want too.... Its a game.

DADS~ so true......but that means I can laugh at em just the same ;-)

Damn kids...

I still think that viewpoint is reading a lot more into peoples' motivations than actually applies.  You're assuming people online are acting as they would in the real world, untrue for the vast majority.

One thing I am curious about: You and a lot of other duelists seem to be of the mindset 'Staying in the fight=honorable.'

Why?

Do you lose something more if you die that way, therefore making your having been shot down somehow of more worth than if you'd turned tail and forced them to run you down?  It still winds up being one more death for you, one more kill for the other guy.  You didn't sacrifice anything by sticking around, it just means you don't have to take the time to RTB before reupping a fresh plane.

Ink, I'm not offended in the least. I was hopeful a humorous tone came through, which apparently did not. I was mostly trying get you to fly Battle Over Germany with us. In closing I said in 'fun, not acrimony.' When you get online let me know and we can cut some circles in the DA. And hopefully you'll consider BOG. As for my flying motivation it works for me, obviously not others but that's ok.

All the best!

Yup I saw it as blantant advertising for more pilots to fill the ranks lol

[mthrockmor]

Ardy, read my post above - no offense at all. I suppose I should put the emodicons in different places. That being said im happy to meet in the DA in good sport. I'll be on tomorrow evening. Is your handle in_game Ardy? As for LD, Dhyran remains squad CO. I don't think his style has changed, we simply follow the CO.

All the best!

Wiley~ it goes deeper then just staying in fight =Honorable,I fly and conduct my self exactly how I am in the real world,I treat those who deserve it with respect and those who dont with distain,I dont consider myself a "furballer" or "dueler"I am a Fighter,all comers,all nme,any situation,I try not to Vulch, hourd,interfer with a 1vs1,if I am in a 1vs1 and a friendly of mine jumps in I break away,if a friendly of the guy Im fighting jumps in,I except the 2vs1 without whining on 200,I always fight to the finish,even if I know I cannot win the engagement,say im fightin a guy he runs and then im engaged with a bunch of his friendlies for him to come back and join in trying to kill me is lame,I may call him out for it,or I may not,but I wont respect him thats for sure.Its a game for Combat IE "FIGHTING" how can I respect someone for doing every thing they can to avoid a fight...or only engage when they hold all the cards...that is going against WHO I am. And that is something I just cant do,not dont want to.~INK

[ink]

mthrockmor~cool im glad you were not insulted, and the written word is hard to get across even with smilies and what not,people insult people here constintly and think because they toss in a smiley it not an insult....But ya I would fly that if I was Online im sure its gonna be a blast,I was a avid FSO guy,those type of events can be a lot of fun. But unlike the other Muppets I havnt flown the 109's very often, and not very good in one, I actually flew the Hurri2 almost exclusivly,untill I got into the KI84....on that note I have been doing a lot of off line missions with the K4 and when I get back It will probably be my maine ride, I am getting that 30mm down good:-)
