It is.  I haven't flown in about 2 months, and I am upset that I don't miss it anymore than I do.

The guy who quit the game over a single player... the irony  :rofl

I actually did miss it though, atleast what it was before him...

AI can't do everything better than people, it's always going to be reactive even if the reaction is very quick.

AI is already "smarter" than a lot of people. I wouldn't count on it not growing into a self-proclaimed state of sentience if I was you.

Isn't that what you did?  I had checked out of this game before Skyyr's "ban" as noted by the 1hr 47m of flight time in September (he was banned the 16th).  And what if we never actually left?  :noid

I actually did miss it though, atleast what it was before him...

I'm afraid what we both miss will never be again.

Like no drama compared to how I remember. Back in the day people were arranging to have it out on the mic at random locations in MC ing comps to decide the fight bringing their own PA systems  :uhoh

To be fair in those days MC ing it off on the mic was how everything was decided and it was brutal  :salute 

Some fellas never came back from those days and we miss them  :cry

Some people got very angry and we are better now  :angel:
We had some young fellas squaring off and the forumn would run to 100 pages. WHO WHAT WHEN WHATEVER. THE real war was here on the forumn and people who had not logged in for years were in the thick of it. I personally know of felllas who were advised on mental health grounds to take a brake from AH. It was just too hot to live with and they had to step back  :cool:


I think the Flame forumn war was the peak. I dont know what it was about but I am a survivor  :frown:

Suffering from low-T these days but haven’t done the blood work yet to realize. A good row makes everything more interesting, quite healthy for all, a few mentally unstable take things further… Thankfully the leader was removed.
They're casting their bait over there, see?

Your culture seems abnormally paranoid about that eventuality.

People had mental health issues because of cartoon planes?

Nonsense

They were mental before they logged on.

Yarbles has loads of issues.

The main one is being a liberal southerner.

Northern England is still English…fact
There are no pies stored in this plane overnight

I remember Friday night you would strap yourself into your gaming seat stark naked, with a bottle of Jack just like Winston Churchill  :salute

Not paranoid enough imo.

This is a justified but ancient video diary of when Zack and Micky set off to visit London. Note the well thumbed London A to Z on the dashboard.

In deference to culture they sported a part worn GB sicker and drove on the other side of the road.

I don't think a mental condition characterized by delusions of persecution, unfounded jealousy and exaggerated self-importance arranged into an organized system is anything to aspire to.
