 :lol well then if you're serious then you're full of horsesheet. I said he's alright but he ain't no angel be any means. You remember "MegaDave"? I think Debrody is one of those guys you won't like until one takes the time to get to know him and understand his style.


Yup, Deb and I came to good terms after having a rage fest followed by an ... Exciting ... DA match.  :devil

  the game is concentrated on combat, not on shaking the screen.

I'd say of all the people I've run into in the game, mbailey, thndregg and waystin are the three I'd give the nod to for best sport.

Mbailey, I first ran into him about two years ago, his spitfire vs. My FM2. We found each other three straight times over some base. I shot him down twice, once with a questionable front-quarter deflection. He had every right to be frustrated and complain on 200, but instead he sent me a PM complimenting me on how well I was flying the wildcat. He's always friendly on range, and an all-around class act.

I've known thndregg since I started playing, and he was one of the guys who took me under his wing to teach me how to fly, fight and bomb in the B-17. While I was never a member of the 91st BG, he always made me feel welcome on their runs. I remember when he scheduled a squad night at 1 in the afternoon so BQ 82 could fly with us from Iraq. He's always a great guy to run into.

Waystin is always friendly to everyone, and he will go out of his way to clear your 6 in a fight. He's fun to fly with, and great to work with on a command staff for scenarios.

hmm are there 2 latrobes?  for me its Messiah, LilMak, Oddcaf.. Odd is my teammate and when you follow him around, you cant help but learn and have good fun. when he lands kills he gets many many green salutes bc his whole team knows what a go getter he is. i havent outflown and beat Messiah and LilMak bc they are badasses in our juggie wuggies. they are always so nice to me and mentor me. dont think ive seen them complain a bit. most of the uber guys are flat out unwilling to teach and help. they dont want competition, they want status quo. my nominees thrive on competition and are extra nice about it too.

This is simpley, not to be insulting, due to an misinterpretation of what "the uber guys" are.  Those whom you're thinking of, are not uber except at gaming the game for score.  They won't show or teach you because they teach you how to always coem in 10k above the fight and run like hell at the first sign of loosing that advantage in the area.  Or how to only run attack sorties until you have a friendly CV right offshore of an enemy base or find a friendly horde deacking a field (and, thusm, come in behind and 10k above the rest of your friendlies).  Their skill is due in part as much (if not more) because of their understanding of utilisign the scoring system to their favor as it is to their ability to dogfight in combat.

You are damn right about Messiah though, especialy in a jug (and he likes to help/teach to others what he can), just last night I belovingly refered to him as "the only guy that I can screw up setting the target up in a rope for and ALWAYS (almost) makes a kill shot anyways.

Absolutely no problem sir.  We all head over around the times...sometimes before, sometimes after.  Very informal.  You can look for me, Dodger, Scotch, Skyrock, INK, bunnies (he's coming back this week), SERaider, BzSaw, Squat, Junky to name a few.  Send us a PM when youre in the MA and see what the plan is. 

Welcome.
