I just realized...
« on: June 17, 2011, 11:17:06 AM »
I'm runner up in WWI :noid


Do you know how i did this? Just to show how manipulative score is (didn't do it on purpose):

  One night i decided "hey 20th! wanna fly WWI for an hour or two?" "sure why not?!"
  we went in, shot at each other and others for a while. i got a bunch of kills and went and landed...
  that was the only time i was in WWI last tour but im runner up for the Home Page name in lights. :aok


Shows how simple score can be manipulated here for those who did not know. Now please, don't get mad because your kill streak got ended by a picker or mad cuz you got vulched. because having fun trumps score and seeing as how score can be manipulated by people who do not know much about a certain thing, its the last thing you should worry about :aok now go have fun!

Maybe I'm too slow to get it - but where in that description is the manipulation?  :headscratch:

I can only ask again: where is the manipulation in this?

Noir just said he was #1. He didn't explain how he "manipulated" score to get there. Neither did you explain, in which way you manipulated score to get runner up in WW1.

He "manipulated" the score by bringing some people into the otherwise deserted arena to shoot down.
 :rofl

He is possibly trying to infer he "manipulated" as someone who, in collusion,  repeatedly shoots down a shade or squad mate to get perk points or rank which is not true in this case.

I agree.  I flew B-29s with 4 cookies on a couple Chewie missions and those 2 or 3 sorties ranked me #20 in bombers. 
If I had a gun with 3 bullets and I was locked in a room with Bin Laden, Hitler, Saddam and Zipp...  I would shoot Zipp 3 times.

This is kind of like the "up one sortie in a fighter and get a good flight then never score as fighter again, only as attack" trick.  :joystick:

that doesn't work. you need to have a minimum of kill points

EDIT : It looks like it's working for bruv, but I'm in not that 1337

there's one player that will fly approx ten sorties for a tour in an La, score high in fighter, then never fly again as a fighter for the whole tour and use attack mode where his K/D and kill points is MUCH lower
