Does LD's flying style make the game boring for the rest of us.

I totally understand defending your squad name, but I think it makes the OP look incredibly silly. Why complain about what others do, or how other squads work.  I'm sure if people really wanted to the could point out things about "The Few".

Just had a look at the roster on your site dhyran,

Good to read the background stories of some of the guys that shoot me down!

I am sure they could but persoanlly I wouldn't feel I had to be thin skinned about it. I think Holmes put it well.

boring? sure if everybody flew that way, but it would be boring if everyone flew 190 suicide dar runs, or eveyone flew in circles at 120mph in I16s. variety is the spice of life

I didn't realise people were going to get upset that easily so I appologse and will be more carefull in future in asking questions and expressing opinions

But why come to the BBS with it?  What have you proved?

Thats my point perhaps unlike some I am not out to prove anything. I was interested how the LD style of play fits into the game and what they are trying to achieve. Dhryan explained it very well and holmes put it in context. I realise now more than before when I fly timidly it can be boring for those who want to get at me espeically if they end up dead.

I also realise people are very proud of their squads and fairly sensitive to criticism.

You never will see an LD pilot complaing about other playstyle! If so he isn't anymore an LD pilot! Thats written down at our ruleset and all members agreed thoose

Sorry my point wasn't clear. I was just turning it around in an attempt to help the OP see things more clearly.

Well that sets you appart form at least a large mInirity of those who fly in the MA.

I don't have any strong views about it one way or the other except constant moaning about hoing, picking, running etc gets a bit boring.

See for me my squad is like my extended family.  Hajo is like dad, Shamus is like the crazy old uncle that everyone makes fun of, and the rest are like goofball brothers.

Yeah but even a family has to be open to constructive cricism from outside to function well. Dhryans approach is to ban criticisim that I don't agree with.

Ok if I came in here and said "The Few" is a bunch of score monkeys, only fly as a horde and are timid little penquins and the way they play takes away from my fun.  What would you say?  How would you feel about someone attacking your squad, your buddies.

well,

ok where ist the constructive point inside the initial posting?????

i am not banning critism, our rules just says we discuss critical things in private and we do not offend people or squads in general

rule 3:

Everybody will provide maximum assistance best to his abilities that will mainly apply towards newbies. We will never assault any player neither another Loose Deuce nor a stranger in public. Differences of opinion will be dealt with in private (i.e. by e-mail) never in public. If a member of the Loose Deuce is repeatedly attracting attention by means of inappropriate postings of insulting contents expulsion from the squadron might be a consequence

Well, I would say you're not far from the truth! 
In jest, in jest.

[MickDono]

I'd say just take a look at my score to see otherwise

Very nice diffusal of the situation, Yarbles. This was turning into a "Take him out back and beat the sh%& out of him" thread and you ruined it.    You would make a pretty good politician.
