Actually the whole Starbuck's thing was my poke at companies trying to make you feel 'special'. By writing your name. On a paper cup. Of some slightly burned coffee. Which you clear up yourself. And cost you €4.50.

To be completely honest Zoney, I Photoshopped that cup. I've been busy prototyping and not out of the house since this early morning  :rofl

Arlo I'd have no problem getting beaten or buying a coffee for any AH player I've fought. At the end of the day we all play this game together. Better a picktard Tempest HOing mofo on your six than no picktard Tempest HOing mofo at all  :banana:

Just trying to whip up some enthusiasm for the kind of AH gameplay I like. Was getting worried there were none left.


Shida, I dropped Whatsapp, it ran my phone battery dead. what time are you usually in the DA? I'd be thrilled to get some more time in with you, any plane. I will always be glad of that day when you asked me if I REALLY wanted to learn. I still remember flying in circles, tighter and tighter and slower, flaps full, learning to judge what the planes would do. I will remember and SALUTE you till the day I die.

Ah the good old days. I used be very disciplined with turning practice. Often I was the first online so I used to spend ages turning flat circles with one wingtip dragging on the water of the TA. Used to throw a roost of white spray up at one time! I should have reported that as a bug when it went away.

Learning, is what this game is / was largely about for me. I learned as much from you old friend and it is my privalage to have met you and my other friends through AH. Don't tell anyone but that's why I don't mind getting out-flown myself  ;)

Thanks to the advice of DrSpek I use Discord now for in-game comms. It's free and voice activated (no key press needed). I guess I could also start a channel on there for the MP lot. Does look a bit complicated  :rolleyes:





Happy Friday Pipz!

I didn't know your name seven years ago, on the package I sent you from the post office back then I wrote: 'DrSpek' and then your postal address. The man on the counter didn't even look twice  :rofl

Often check the Match Play arena but I never see anyone there. Is there a popular time? Also a couple of times it was clear the players wanted to play with each other and I was just stinking up the place.

What times are you typically on, Shida?  (You can use UTC or CET, as I can do the math.)

I'd like to look you up if not to discuss ACM, then at least to discuss the merits of various root beer brands.  ;)

Hope you are well and see you around.   :aok

p.s. I'm a Peet's Coffee and Tea guy, so I hope that will do when you whoop me silly.

For those of us playing this game for well over a decade, Aces High is more of a social club. The game just provides the framework. I keep logging in for the people and Pipz was the kind that you keep coming to meet again.
