Stating something is a fact, does not make it a fact.
Very true. You have read an eye witness account, and watched a video record of the event. The two are consistent. Of course they may just stem from coincidence. I completely understand that you don't like the implications, I'm sure nobody does, but the questions would seem to flow naturally from the account and the implications flow naturally from any reasonable persons understanding of the laws of probability.
We all have a different sense of how likely or unlikely it is to have happened randomly or under the influence of collaboration. I'm not going to try and persuade you one way or the other. The important thing is asking the questions, challenging assumptions, using your own intellect to draw honest unbiased conclusions. Have at it!!
That's an unasserted assumption. and your exact location is utter nonsense.
We both know that if you fly 5 sectors and arrive within Icon range of your target at the precise moment he is engaging another bandit so that you are perfectly positioned for a pick that's as good as it gets. I imagine even the best ground controlled intercept would be proud of that result, it doesn't get any better.
Perhaps he was generally p!55ed with you for other activities. Like the ones you're famous for.
The only prior activity was a single kill on flippz while defending a base. I'm also fairly confident that the only place I'm famous is in your head.
I know, but you have done what you're accusing here when it suited you. For years and years.
Nope, absolutely not.
Yes you are. The last time you used this account to troll you got your IP address trapped. You didn't know that did you. Coincident with you 'retiring' as a trainer.
Of course, I read the boards and I have seen you discuss the IP address at some length in another thread, along with multiple posts where you claim I am a large number of other players, with names I've mostly never heard of. You seem to have been making these claims ever since you had a bad experience with someone in the old duelling arena. It sounds like you have the longest case of butt hurt in AH history. Badboy and I are absolutely not the same person, HTC know that, but I'm flattered that you disagree.
At no point in your film did Skyyr come to you. Was it the only fight on the map?
No I don't think it was the only fight. But even if it was, he still had rooks upping several sectors closer and needed to go 5 sectors around the Rooks to reach the Nights base.
If you check the film at 3:36, within minutes of taking off, flippz points me to a P51 that has Skyyr co-alt, and within Icon range headed directly towards me at high speed. With eleven other Knights in that sector, along with several rooks, it just happens that the only Bish for 5 sectors is barrelling in on me while I am being asked by his squad mate to follow a dead P51 to the deck.
Surely, even with your obvious bias you can't be oblivious to the odds against that being purely coincidental? He could have been lucky though, you make up your own mind.
Then it happened yet again while I was RTB. The film shows he was also heading directly towards me. Sure, he was lower, but he was close to the perfect field vulching altitude. If he was aware that I was last seen following a P51 to the deck and was now RTB from the south, it may have been a smart altitude. If I had that information I would have positioned myself where Skyyr was and been looking for a lower con on approach to the field.
Also there were a lot of other Knights and almost as many Rooks in that sector so he would only legitimately have had a massive dar bar and should have known he was flying into a large Rook v Knight furball, at medium altitude as the only Bish. Not something I would do, but Skyyr may have been looking forward to the prospect of a couple of kills on the way through and hoping for a glorious Klingon death. We don't know what he was thinking, but if you consider the balance of probabilities you might have some sense of the kind of odds against Skyyr being in the right place at the right time heading in the right direction to intercept me albeit a bit low, twice in a row? But on the other hand I know you are familiar with the power of paranoia so you make up your own mind.
With your inferrence only as to the motivation, not supported by your film.
In isolation of course not, but he wasn't just some random player changing countries. He changed after I had killed him while I was defending a base and after some heckling from himself and Skyyr. All good fun. But then he checked my six to get my attention. Then he lead me around directing me to various enemy aircraft, the first one just happened to have his Squad mate Skyyr, co-alt, high speed and within icon range perfectly placed to pick. That's what the film shows, you can judge the implications of that for yourself, but I think most reasonable unbiased observers would be tempted to ask questions by that kind of coincidence, particularly in view of similar, more damning reports from other players such as Simon. The more a thing happens, the more difficult it is to write it off as coincidence. But once again, you make up your own mind.
No owning, as my Muppets friends once taught me is killing on a reversal of fortune. All you did here was use a massive enrgetic advantage and nearly got yourself reserved in the process by an impressive piece of ACM.
I hadn't heard that before. But I have a more relaxed approach as I'm happy to use the term any time the fight has been entirely and heavily one sided. In the MA the reasons for the advantage don't really matter because the whole point of air combat is to gain every possible advantage. If the only reason for a kill was an altitude advantage, that still goes to the credit of the player who has it, They had to get it and use it correctly. I notice Skyyr seems to like engaging from lower altitude, it gives him the opportunity to demonstrate his skill and he's posted videos where he does just that, getting kills by forcing unwary pilots to overshoot and finishing with his excellent gunnery. In this case he appeared to be trying to do exactly that but failed miserably. On the other hand, perhaps he just pooped his pants when he saw me, panicked and ran... you decide. I was on his six from beginning to end. I had several shots and missed some but he didn't even get close to having an opportunity of his own. There was never the slightest risk or threat. I couldn't even describe the engagement as remotely challenging, because it wasn't, the film shows that. So I think "owned" was justified. If you think I nearly got reversed I must have posted the wrong film.
