I went to participate in the KOTH events for a good many years with no intentions of trying to win an event or even becoming a wabbit..... I only showed up to enjoy the fights.... ( I started playing KOTH events back in Air Warrior and every since HTC added it as a special event here, back in the early 2000's)
That and back in the early years, the KOTH CM's BigMax, Gremlin fuzeman and maybe WMLute? Kept a yearly running tally of total kills for KOTH participants..... In which Jish65 and I kept a heated competition going between the two of us to be the top fighter....
I've missed that part of the KOTH event, every since it stopped, so then I gave in to flying to win 2 rounds for wabbit status then gave in and won some monthly KOTH events.... Then it brought on a new game within amongst several of us longtime KOTH event players to where we would try and win the most monthly KOTH events...
But seriously, the main reason I ever really show up and participate in KOTH is for the awesomely fun and sometimes palm sweating knockdown dragged out dogfighting....
Becoming a wabbit or winning a monthly KOTH event earns you a KOTH Tournament of Champions event invitation.... Which will allow you to mix it up and dogfight in some great battles against some very talented players of the game in and all different types of fighter models and attack plane models...
I encourage everyone to come and participate in the KOTH events (2 per month) in 2018! If you stick with it and keep showing up and trying, the knowledge, experience and lessons learned are priceless....
Happy New Year & Cheers
