Get gamed is an extreme disservice to the numerous skilled sticks that fly there. But by all means, don't let a reality check snap you out of your self-protective cacoon.
Nrshida being one of said skilled pilots.
I still remember, very fondly, the day that he saw me over the DA lake fighting (and flying) poorly. Nrshida then was so nice as to offer to take me to a private field and teach me some basic flying skills. He spent much time with me, was super nice and pointed me to some things to read up on.
Following his every instruction, I admit I was in awe of him, especially since he was a member of The Few, which I had heard was the BEST squad in Aces High. For a member of The Few to take the time to be so nice to me, a nooby, was just awesome. My eyes start watering thinking about it again.
I have a special place in my heart for Nrshida for this reason, and always will.
I was so honoured that he would take his time and be so nice to someone just out of the goodness of his heart.
Nrshida, I <3 you for that moment and making me feel special and welcome.
May others be as blessed one day as I was on that special day.
Nrshida,
PS: I will never let time nor events come between Nrshida and me and our special time together no matter what has happened since he and The Few parted. To me, Nrshida will always be a member of The Few and their great tradition and niceness.
PSS: I still, to this day, see him flying in front of me in a clear blue sky leading me through a chandel. Blue skies to you always, Nrshida. I mean that with all sincerity.
