You have a secret to doing something about the HO, stop competing for a Yoda part in the next Star Blooppers with a bunch of forum members competing to play Yoda against you. Just tell players how to do it at the tops of your lungs any chance you get. They will listen or tell you to go eat some high quality Ghiradelli Chocolates and to stop telling them how to play the game.
'Tis indeed an attractive offer Bustr. You're suggesting people like Junky and I, say, should just hand over knowledge and technique it took hundreds of deaths and countless hours of reading, experimentation and practice to acquire to those who show absolutely no active interest in learning or working, while simultaneously being insulted and disrespected by those with no willingness or clue how to do said work themselves and who are at the same time so vitriolically bitter towards those that have, that the only conclusion can be people like Junky and I are only contributing to the discussion (about ACM, I'll remind you) in order that we can have you all worship us as some fictional movie characters from a space opera or Kung Fu movie.
Oh yes indeed, please hold my beer while I put on my Father Christmas outfit for you while you passively sit there waiting for presents and b**ching about how long it's taking.
You guys are like the golf pro's at the golf pro retirement home when a grand kid comes to visit and starts telling grand dad about going to play putt putt golf.
No we are trying to encourage people to stop taking the short-term immediate results-based lazy approach and invest a bit to time and energy to get more reward at a later date. More reward for everyone. It's ironic that this kind of laziness is attributed to the youth of today. In my experience their egos are far less entrenched in self-protection mode and are far more willing to work. The information on this forum about ACM is both abundant and peer reviewed. Each time I post something advanced I'm hoping to be corrected by someone more knowledgeable than I because it would take US ALL further. Look Bustr, here's what we call evidence:
Thank you sir. I recently heard about your past activities. Feel free to correct.
This is the post of a self-appointed Kung Fu master? Surely the attitude of an ongoing student is it not? Now look at the date. It's clearly before your accusation. Now go ahead and click on the link and roll up the thread. That was in something I spent an hour of my valuable time writing for others, with no requirement that anyone even need say thank you, let alone call me Yoda or Master Shida. And why? Because someone showed an active interest in the part of AH I'm interested in and was clearly prepared to commit some time to learning.
There are at least a dozen players in Aces High who are using ACM which is so advanced it doesn't even appear in the seminal texts. But you've decided, as the self appointed representative of the poor victimised Air Quake movement, that it's perfectly fine for the majority of inexperienced players (or uber noobs) to not grow their ACM at all, in a game centred on Air Combat (<- see, you just add the M part on the end to see the relevance of discussing these matters).
What you are essentially implying is that you prefer what Bruv119 or Joach1m does, for example, and never discuss any ACM or technique at all and make no contributions to any discussion firmly seated under this topic? Not even when asked privately for help. They'll just let you talk to the wall while out flying you and shooting you down. That would be somehow less confronting for you perhaps?
Let me just have a quick think how much effort it would cost me to do...
