Aces High stereotypes
« on: April 14, 2011, 12:12:45 PM »
Lately I've been flying around and have been noticing 200 more and more. I have come to the conclusion this game has more stereotypes then any other game I've ever played, so I figured why not waste my time at work and jolt down a few stereotypes I've come across.

Arm Chair General
I'm sure we have all seen this, usually an underage with a high pitch voice whose wing pylons generally hold 2 x clearasil sticks and a drop tank.
Usually on the range/country channel trying to "general" the war even though everyone else has already .squelch.

Hipster
Mainly the Hipsters believe one plane beats everything else in the sky and go full blown olympic retard trying to defend such plane. Sure we all are fond of a certain aircraft, however its not a religion its a cartoon aircraft.

Score Tards
In case you are wondering, you are only looked up to by those flying with clearasil sticks. These generally only vulch, hide in the hordes - and pick from above the clouds. You generally will never find them turning and burning, god forbids you shoot one down then its a mass execution on 200 about how you HO'ed/Picked/Rammed.

Whiners
Some men are still stuck in basements while the parents live upstairs, sitting behind a computer and flaming just about everyone on the internet. You can easily find them on 200, complaining about everything when I mean everything I mean everything. Bad part about this group is the fact most are older then 18 and sometimes laugh when I see a Squeaker govern himself more mature then these tards. Even worse they are capable of breeding.

Fun Police
This group tends to enjoy busting a good furball up by bombing an entire base to oblivion. Why? Because the fight that was once their way suddenly turned opposite and now they decide to seek revenge. Same for those during a good GV fight, they get killed in their little M8 and decide its time to bomb every GV in sight.

Tards
Generally the ones who think they are the best pilot in the game, and just about 98% of the Arena can vouch otherwise. Not talking about an actual good sticks, but someone who shoots the mouth on 200 and ends up not evening going to the DA. Usually this group would have either a horrible K/D ratio and just shoot the mouth, or sit in the hordes to rack up a 50 K/D and claim to be anything good.

Class Acts
We all know this very small or tiny group of pilots who are just outstanding people to fly around. Willing to help you any chance possible even if it means they get killed, or just willing to help you period with some films or trip to the TA.

Other 20% of the Arena
Mainly just guys who get off work, up a plane with a beer in hand and really don't care if they score 50 K/D or take 20 bases. Frankly I find some of the best pilots in this class, and generally a mixture of other stereotypes, but nothing that stands out. Someone willing to drive you supplies, however will whine ocasionally if Ho'd.

Not sure what other Stereotypes I've seen, but being bored at work during downtime I figured someone might get a laugh out of this hopefully.
Have a great day, and ser in the skies!

Reading the forums for the past few weeks trying to pick up tips and such, it seems people act even more tard on the BBS then in game. Pretty much afraid to ask questions on here for fear I will be Tased by the one named Skuzzy.

Another couple groups to add to your already spectacular list.

Shaders
These experienced players take breaks and then come back as completely new players and new personas.  Sometimes, they even pretend to be newbies and "fast learners".  They typically don't last long though.

Fantasizers
This small group of players sometimes get so wrapped up in cartoon land, coupled with their pathological habit of telling lies, starts to tell outlandish tales of real life excursions and success to their toon friends.  For example, owning F-18s, P-51s, and even being members of the CIA.

Most times, the same players fall under both categories.

I do not believe I have ever zapped anyone for asking a question.

Then again, I am not opposed to it. :)

MUWHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!

Wow... that's... really?  How do we know they were lying though?  Maybe they let it slip they were in the CIA and were then 'retired' and replaced by a double who denies everything, but is quietly monitoring all those who heard the slip?

 :noid

Thanks, Grizz.  I won't be sleeping for a week now.  And for no reason at all, I would just like to mention that I have no idea who or what Grizz is talking about.

Butcher- Help and support forum is the spot for questions.  People who reply in there are generally trying to help.

I wonder if there's another stereotype in here... perhaps

The Anti-Whiner
This is someone who sees the same guys whining about their usual whine subjects and either eggs them on, or tells them to suck it up and quit whining.  Generally causes a lot of traffic on channel as they begin arguing over whether they're 'whining about whining' and which is worse.

You forgot to mention the play-style whiners. Furballers whine about bombers shutting down a field and think what bombers do is a waste of time. Bombers whine about furballers not helping move the map or providing escort and think pure furballs are something for the DA only.  GV drivers whine about ruined fights when anything with wings and a red icon fly over them when they aren't in a wirb.
The real problem is anyone should feel like they can come to this forum and make a wish without being treated in a derogatory manner.  The only discussion should be centered around whether it would work, or how it would work and so on always in a respectful manner.
