There is an opportunity here that was popular in AH2, then it was more as an anonymous activity like some of the muppets shooting for 300 262 kills
An accomplishment could be introduced as a contest against a personal score board. You pull up an accomplishment form. Pick your ride, load out and such. Then save it until later or click a start button. You get launched from the field you are at and now go for your kill string and as many re-arms as you need. So every time you land to re-arm, a text message notifies the arena, you have just landed with x number of kills and are re-arming. You just keep rinsing and repeating until you decide it's enough and tower. Then the text buffer says you landed x kills with x re-arms. There could be a master score board in the accomplishments that tracks these for each tour showing all of the players who took the challenge and their x kills to x re-arms. Then with each new tour carries over the three highest as permanent fixtures on the score board.
Abuse of this is not much of a matter unless it's a player with a friend or a second computer vulching to pad his count. Skuzzy could easily check the logs for such activity and the community loves to expose such things. Player abuse in terms of timid flying and HOnRun tactics, your name constantly in the text buffer will help players to eventually hunt you down and end your accomplishment en-mass. Or some lone wolf will take up accomplishment wreaking....
There are times I wished players like Airjer would have gotten something like that in the text buffer for his creative mast head bombing antics. Even strat runners who spend hours doing their thing, getting something more than a landed damage score and no real idea of what they accomplished. CV bombing and BB bombing could get more of a message for landing those things destroyed. There are some really persistent jabo players who invest a lot of time sinking CV's who no one knows from the text buffer about their lone accomplishment.
Fighter jocks get all the glory in the buffer, while there are many other players doing things that getting recognition in the text buffer would keep them stoked. And for newer players, they really need this kind of validation much more than we older players. And one way to deal with ack, if you run over to a field and single handed drop all of the ack, get a sudden popup in the text buffer letting that country know whom to thank. Comparatively towns are easy to de-ack. Validation and your name in lights to help players decide you need to spend time in the tower if they can find you. We already communicate the locations of our love-to-hate rivals in the other countries so we can swamp them with machingunning love.
Vets will grouse that this will just fill the buffer with nonsense and even swamp the VOX queue. Validation of exploits is not a bad thing, it helps create rivalries and some kind of feed back other than hoping the green guys around you even see or care about what you just did.
