I see what you did there.


It's interesting that my OP about context / effectiveness / representation of skill versus game-unto-itslef has mutated into two people debating who was 'better' and using the score to prove it.

My poor thread (which made a reasonable point I think) is going to get locked!  :old:

Skyyr still doesn't come anywhere close to my #s in fighter score, metrics that actually matter when comparing skill by #s during the time played where we were both playing the game competitively in a measured scoring contest. Though I'll admit I had few outliar months where I didn't score well because I hardly played. (I don't always try for #1 unless I'm doing well that month). I even posted a 2.3 2016 entire year average fighter rank. One of my best personal achievements in Ah.  "Full time #s" are meaningless. I'll just leave it at that. Hope you guys feel good about yourselves though. I know I do.  :cheers:

#Excuses

Skyyr > Violator

But you are both my friends.    :cheers:

If you are going to quote me, please include the complete post......

Now this might be a Rule#4 flame bait post, but why don't all of you ankle humping lemmings take your high jacking side fight to personal message, so nrshida's thread don't get locked......now there! I've called all of you ankle humpers...

I was not personally attacking, singling you out, Vraciu..... I only do things like that when I think it's truly warranted...
(regardless of the person whoever it might be)

Have a Good evening, past my bedtime

Cheers

No need when I am only responding to a single portion of it.   If the rest is chaff there's no need to quote it.   :devil

Yayyy, a score measuring contest!  :banana: :banana: :banana:

My K/Ds in all those planes are much better than those of these guys. Does that mean I have won AH?  :x :joystick: :rofl

(And yes, there's a point hidden in this post... ;))

The point being that the game will soon cease to exist, so something like an overall winner can finally be determined?

That's it I quit trying to make reasonable observations. I'm going back to my own qualitative scoring system where you know if you're flying well or not with feel. A far more reliable measure than loosely-associated variables. Also applies when you fight someone better than youself which I have no problem with by-the-way, because I've found it has always been more useful to my development than counting how many kills I've got.
