Now, I suspect when it says "who shot you down"... the look on their faces is priceless.
Can't possibly compare to the look on your face when you do Midway:
What I find incredible about Midway is his capacity to manipulate every situation in his perception to engineer a win for himself out of it.
For example:-
Debrody spanks him in his own aeroplane so badly that the red will never come off his arse. His response: "Debrody is a litte better than me,
for now, I will inevitably figure out that one trick he does eventually though and then I will pwn everyone, I win".
Midway shoots down another player with a superior aeroplane occasionally regardless of circumstance (probably with an unsporting face-shot) His response: "I can pwn them at will, because 30% is a substantial amount, almost exactly the same as 90%, I win".
Players complain about his sportsmanship on 200 or here on the forum. His resonse: "I outflew them with my flying prowess, now they are crying because I am better than them and I have forced them to face it, I win".
Players criticise him in response to his unfounded bragging. His response: "I can shoot those players down on occassion too in the MA in dissimilar aircraft (which equals: I pwn them), therefore their criticism can be safely dismissed, Midway > said player, I win".
Midway implies disdain at every turn but just keeps it short of explicit insulting adhering to the letter of the rules, other players respond with insulting remarks. His response: "They are sore losers and my irritating them is further evidence of me getting better, I win".
It just goes on and on... The baseline is whatever you do, he wins.
I'm personally tired of Midway boorishly demanding we all accept his b/s distorted view of reality while refusing to receive anyone else's views in return. You cannot reasonably interact with an unreasonable person. This runs to the point of detracting now from my enjoyment of this game and my personal development. So I have decided to take the advice of several other players. I'm going to squelch him
This does unfortunately mean I'm going to have the last word, but oh well:-
Midway,
You have to be the most aggravating and self-important, egotistical yet insecure person I have ever encountered.
Your M.O. hasn't changed one bit since I encountered you at the furball lake when you first got here, HOing and picking everything that flew into your gunsight, where I tried to encourage you to pursue the path of ACM and to prioritise development above results. You rejected this path and chose another, a path which I consider less honest, more lazy and purely results-focussed. The only thing which has progressed massively is your smack talk, which is now almost a constant passive-aggressive stream.
Your 'game' seems to be largely spiteful and bullying-based and I'm frankly surprised HTC lets you troll their forum with such rampant freedom. Perhaps they think you are good for business.
The level you have currently attained, and which you say you are stuck on is not a plateau. This is as far as you go with ACM by yourself. You do not have the mental faculty to go further. In the what? Two years you've been here you've actually condensed something like seven years of a regular player's hours into this game. If concentrated hours translated directly into capability then you would have become Bruv119's FPH by now.
Your ACM is average at best, below average across most of the spectrum with maybe two or three narrow spikes which bring you 99% of your results. Your own ego and rather disturbing needs have brought you to this inescapable place. Your ambition here will I believe be frustrated by something I mentioned to you earlier: the Red Queen Hypothesis. You just can't see this yet, so little vision have you.
I suspect I now know who and what you are, why you have so much time to play and why this game has become everything to you. There really only is one logical explanation. Yet I have no sympathy for you. We always have choices, as long as we are alive we have choices, and your choices have rather made your own bed here... Keep swimming
Believe it or not I actually enjoy fighting you regardless of who wins or loses (another concept which is way beyond your grasp) and look forward to future encounters with your entropic brown Spitfire. So aggressive and without any care for sportsmanship do you fly and shoot that you do encourage your opponents to not be lazy. However this is the extent of the interaction I choose to have with you from this point forward.
I no longer consider anything you say to have any merit or integrity and it is with a great sense of relief that I hereby squelch you both here and in the game.
I can now peacefully return to an activity of which you are demonstrably incapable: quietly and thoughtfully improving my ACM with imagination and without regard to the outcome.
It's customary to wish luck, but let's forgo the usual pleasantries shall we?:-
<Cobblers> Midway.
