Author Topic: Hello (Read 339 times)

Just wanted to say hello to everyone, some may have seen me in the Main Arena (and I know a lot of you have shot me down)

Seems that most here are good sorts and have been helpful to me and others.

I was wondering though, it seems that certain pilots recieve a lot of animosity (spelling?) in the Arena. Is this something they have earned over time or are there just some folks who wont cut a guy some slack? I enjoy this game, but dont want to play when there is a lot of strife (kinda funny when I'm playing a WARGAME huh?). I think you know what I mean.

This is my first time playing a game of this sort (online I mean) I have played another offline a lot and a bit of head to head, but it was easier to fly and it is taking me a while to get a grip on this one.

What really gets me though, is the incessant squabbling over strategies. Everyone seems to think all the others should drop whatever they are doing and come fight where the action is, so to speak. I agree that you cant be spread out all over, but there must be some delaying action used at any field at risk. My opinion, for what its worth. I enjoy fighting those last ditch defenses.
OK, now you can blast me for that

Generally though, lots of fun.

The newer guys and some "mission-Nazis" will be the ones screaming over the country channel. "LETS GO JOIN MY MISSION" "WE NEED TO ORGANIZE FOLLOW ME ONLY I KNOW WHAT FUN IS"

you will see who these guys are. best to just squelch umm.

My squad used to average 30 base captures a tour, for the most part we could careless about resets or strat.

We pop in the main for some quick fun fights.

leave the strat to the whiney air marshalls go where you have fun. If you enjoy base defense or the big furballswell great.

between the "2 week need-a-gunners" and the "mssion-nazis" and the general loud mouths I spend 5 min in the tower looking at the roster doing pre-emptive(sp) squelching.

oh well have fun where ya find it.........

you'll find that most guys (not all) are generall bellybutton holes to the new guys. once your here for a little while you'll just become another AH'er in the arena. the main thing is to have fun. if someone is being stupid...just squelch em! no need to "listen" to people squeak because they dont like the plane you fly or dont like your flying style/prefrences. as long as your having fun thats all that counts.

Welcome to AH!;)

heh...I been flying knights since 2nd day of my freebie time and been on pay since a week and a half ago....have seen you there a time or 2 Rip.

Eh, I was just kinda wondering about that stuff i posted, I'm not really whining about it.....much

I have been enjoying my playing time and am mostly happy with the game.

Just wanted to say howdy mostly and see what reaction I got from the comments....seeing if I was off base maybe. Most of the guys have been great, I think its just a few who might get on my nerves a bit.

Thanx ya'll

What wotan said.

Each country has it's little hitlers. "You stupid rooks! What are ya doing at 44?!?! We need help at __!!

First thing I do is squelch em, then go to 44.

Do whats fun for you. If strat your thing, do it. If furballin' is your thing, do that.

Have fun.

Hmm, I haven't seen what you described in Knitland for quite some time...maybe I'm just too busy to notice? (Shrugs)...anyway, use the squelch command, works well !

You ever see Rip in person you'll see why they dont let him have access to real guns.

Allways wonder abotu the Folically Challenged shaveing their heads.

Shaving his head wasn't bad but when he shaved his balls and showed them to those nuns..well that got me wondering.
