I am only Midway.  I believe Tobias is Spikes.   Spikes is AoM and not in their roster.  Tobias is in their roster.  :huh

I made a bet and will keep my end of the bargain although I suppose I proved my point anyways.  It is hard to land 10 kills in a Spitfire, air to air, no rearms.   The fact that it took so many hours of trying for MK84 to land ten and then only via gv kills, and most of which are the same guy over and over, shows he could not easily land ten air to air kills.    Bet he has lots of films trying and dying and eventually took the easiest route he could think of.  :rolleyes:

 :old: flying in solitude can be relaxing and fun too.

I have not HOed anyone since Jan 7th.  Catch me HOing, post the film, show you had gun solution when I fired, you can tell me what to name myself for 30 days.   :uhoh

I want to be a better pilot and decided permanently TOGONOMOHO -- guaranteed.   :angel:

I would not honor that bet.  Those kills were not in the spirit in which the bet was made.  Sure, you didn't specifiy they needed to be air to air kills, but since there are no lawyers and binding toon bet contracts in Aces High, there was no need to get into the nit and gritty specifics of the bet in the first place.  I would redefine the challenge to him, that is, 10 air to air kills in a Spit, which should have been implied by the spirit in which Midway plays the game in the first place.  No one is going to think less of Midway for not honoring the way in which those 10 kills were recorded.

Bombing GVs, and strafing GVs in a spit, 7 of which were the same guy makes me Laff.

I agree it was not cool to get GV kills to collect the Debt, and I actually think more of Midway because he is honoring the agreement even though the win does not seem to be in the spirit of the competetion.

I agree, I think to ANY AH player the "reasonable expectation" was air to air kills.

This makes me think I could pay my rent with bushles of corn as long as the "monetary value" was equal at the time, this is ok, isn't it?


Me thinks mk84 might be an attorny, any loophole no matter how silly will do  :huh

Smells of bs.

In other words, MK84 is cashing in a bet that violated the obvious spirit of the wager itself.  10 GVs?  MK84 should be embarrassed to claim that bet...because he knows that GVs were not the intent.

And I'm the guy that would love to see Midway shut up for a week....but not this way cuz this bs

There was no violation of anything "obvious"  Midway added the one sortie bit later for example, and I went along with it.  But you didnt know that, because you were not there.
As for being embarrassed, I think 10kills of anything in one sortie is quite difficult.  Especially in a plane that I very rarely fly.  As for GV kills, I simply found a creative solution to the problem.
