Ten Things In CT That You'll Never See In MA

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz............. ............

Question....

where did the label 'elitist' in refrence to th CT come from?

who the hell said the CT is exclusionary?

if you wish to describe folks in a negative vindictive manner, folks that have found something they enjoy, something created by the player base on their own time, on their own nickel, in response to the wishes of a not insignificant percentage of that same player base, with the blessings permission and assistance of the owners, just what the hell does that tell us about whats goin thru yer minds? whats the threat? just what the hell the freakin problem here?

are you guys that small minded? the original post in this thread is a jest.. a joke.. a play on words and circumstances intended to get folks to smile, and to share the fun we're having, draw some intrest..  fun that anybody can have, in our new playground.

but, nooo... hey; diffrent monkeys.. baaaad monkeys, must piss on baaaad diffrent monkeys.. must scream and wail, sling toejam and shake the bars..

fediddlein dissapointing, i'll tell yah. really. figured most of these veteran posters and players tossing the turds back and forth in this tread as being a lil more broadminded than that. maybe even (GASP!) show a lil respect for the effort made by not just a few to make it all work.

i'm hoping this is all just some kinda wierd dick measuring contest gone awry, and that the toejam slinging monkeys on both sides take a fediddlein break..

tell yah what.. if yah wanna come play, come, play. if yah wanna just sit here on the bbs and piss and moan and create exclusionary pictures about non existent elitists, well hey, yer dime again. we understand, we got the 'message', thanks for pointing out our doomed to failure experiment is a waste of our time.

please don't be too bent if we continue having fun, despite your dire warnings of immeninet failure.

'elitist'.... 'exclusionary'... chit; what a buncha horsecrap. wake up, grow up, fly yer game, and quit slappin the folks that are trying to get us all a choice. cause thats what ALL this is about... a choice. you can fly a weekly scenario on a historical planeset, or the MA.

choose.

either.

both.

anytime.

whats the big fediddlein deal?

[Drunky]

Elitist for the CT was coined by our most dearest friend Laz(x).

He felt that because we chose to fly here with people that we respected, enjoyed our combat flights and flew with planes that were historically acurrate that we were 'elitist'.

The altogether sad thing...why the hell did Laz(x) post in this forum to begin with???   Once a troll, always a troll.

Anyways....my most enjoyable moments within the past 6 months have been in the CT arena.

Enjoy all.

WTG Hangtime!!

BTW,

11. The old beta times atmosphere.


And CT folks have it bigger (and know how to use it, too)

[eddiek]

WTG Hangtime!  
Kinda amazes me why some people even post here when they don't even play the game.  Hell, if you don't play, how do you know what any of us are talking about?
You can sit here and post all day, make comments about what is right and wrong, but if you aren't gonna get into the arenas and see for yourself, who really gives a toejam what you think?  I think a helluva lot more of the guys that DO play than ones who frequent the boards to point out others faults and tell them how wrong they are WITHOUT experiencing things firsthand.
Kinda reminds me of RAM when he quit the first time ( or was it the 2nd, 3rd, or 50th time?) and still kept telling the community how wrong things were.

If you want to check differences between CT and MA, you can use this thread, and the ones in CT forum as an example. This one reflects what MA use to be for me as of lately. Lots of Ch1 rants, nonsense talking, bunched pants, and a big deal of animosity.

Of course, fly what you like.

Cheers,

Pepe <-----    happy CT camper despite, maybe thanks to (oh no! here it comes the elitist!  )  low numbers.

Whoever "lambasted" that guy for flying his preferred plane, should be ashamed of themselves.

I should explain...........

I had just had my arse handed to me several times in a row in my (much preferred) 109 by Spitfires and was sulking while I was in the hangar changing fuel load.
An eerie cloud of red spotted evilness descended on me, and I found my cursor being dragged down the list and clicking 'N1K2j', while this voice in my head whispered 'Yesssssssss Bluedog!, come to the Light! feel the warmth of the Rising Sun, bask in our twisty turnyness, and Spit outturnability!!'
Honest, I have no idea what came over me, it's not something I find myself doin a great deal....go ahead, look up my stats, see how many kills and deaths I have in a N1k.
Anyway, about halfway down the runway on my take off roll, I typed on ch2 " I cant believe Im doin this, but I'm uppin a N1k......." ( I still couldnt really believe I was piloting one of the Hated Ones, and the luftweenie in me was struggling to the surface.)

Someone said 'Noooooooooooooo!!!!! it's not to late!! RTB.....come back to the Darkness, you can still save yourself!'...
at wich point I laughed so hard reality kicked in, and I realised I DO hate N1ks, so much, I've never flown the thing except for maybe 10 minutes offline, and no matter how damn good a plane it is in some peoples hands, I was on a one way sortie to not only yet another death by Spit, but the shame of doing it in a N1k.

So, I did the only thing I could, I landed that heap of junk, and strapped on a Ju88.........if I'm gonna die at the hands of a Spit driver, I'll do it wearing black crosses, fighting tooth and nail, not sipping sake and whimpering like a frightened puppy while my UFO burns ;-)


I fully understand, and agree with your reasons for posting lephturn, and dont intend in any way to detract from that, but in this case I'm glad they did it, it woke me up from my mumbling, ranting, cursing tirade of blind 'do anything to kill those bloody Spits' hissy fit, brought me back to Earth with a laugh, and allowed me to enjoy the rest of my evening in the CT.
I'm pretty sure if I had taken the N1k, I WOULD have been hammered by a Spit ( bloody things seem even more dangerous in there ) cracked the toejams with my utter uselessness, and logged off.


Just thought I should explain myself, and set the story straight, no one hassled me, it was all in good fun......ya had to be there I guess

Lephturn for carin' about stuff like that, and big to the saviours of my leatherclad virtual soul


.....and to think I thought I could get away with flyin a N1k in the CT, no one would notice.........Doh!!

Blue



Holy Snapping Duckshit Batman!!!!!! I had only read up to Lephturn's first post when I wrote the above...just read the rest...OMG!! Take it easy guys, it was all in good fun, we were just muckin' around.


BTW, my not so friendly comments towards both the Spitfire and N1k are in no way intended to be a whine, both were excellant planes, they should be damn hard to kill in the right hands.....I just dont like 'em is all, they kill me too much

Cant believe how much hate gets around this board, chill out guys, we're all here for the same reason.

Great post Bluedog!  Well written.
Your right, the N1K takes a bit of getting used to before it becomes effective.
In the Beta days, it was my main ride.  Every now and then I take it back up and wonder how I or anyone could/can get that plane to do anything very well, as I auger into the ground because I ripped my own wings off.

Bluedog!
No harm at all in taking the Niki out for a test drive.  
I did the same the other day against ole Wilbus after I got tired of him taking me 3 times in a Jug.  Switched to Niki, went back and kilt him, then rtb'd in shame ( ) for stooping to such a low level.
But hell, it all evens out.....not 10 minutes later Wil was up in a Ta152, gunning for me in my D-11 when I switched sides.  Hopping in a perkie is not bad, no matter what perk ride it is.
This thread was started as a joke, to make folks laugh and break the tension.  Too bad it's taken on such a spiteful tone........

[lazs2]

this is hillarious...  Waaa... "we were just making a joke"   LOL! try, "just making a joke" on the CT BB!  It is  Like eight people all discovered at once that someone had pissed in their wheaties.... after they had eaten half a bowl.  

deja had a perfect counter to the post.   It was factual and fair.  In fact.... that's what those guys hate the most about it.

example... eddeeek has quoted me out of context in order to give my words a meaning that they did not originally have.   This is.... dishonest and lazy...  I say plenty (ythjat is "controversial") and he shouldn't have to lie and sensationalize but.... zelots  do that crap for some reason.

Read what deja said and try to pick it apart.   you can't because it is true and accurate.   Sooo.... you attack the man.   I don't get along with deja but you guys are mental pissants compared to him.

you CT guys argue like feminists and/or liberals.... just like in the CT.... you fight like girls.

 Not in regards to me, go back and read the posts.  Chu idiot!

Thanks Hangtime and others for seeing the intended humour/prod in the original post...To the others who think I'm an CT protagonist/elitist,I appologize.I am not and didn't mean to imply such.

And Bluedog,your post ranks as one of the funniest I've ever read!Thanx for setting the record straight and making me laugh out loud.Guys like you are why I fly CT more and more.


Can we end this bickering now?

[Manxer]

I don't know where all the claims of "elitism" came from, but as a newbie I had a great time in CT. I have to admit, I did go there for the wrong reasons initially, but I came out with a great respect for the potential of this arena.

It has it's problems. The players in CT have discouraged ex AW RR dweebs like myself from going in there from the get go. Yet a lot of the players inhabiting the game are exactly like myself, new arrivals looking for a game to fit into. AH now is a difficult place to learn how to play AH in it's current state, and HTC is a little slow in addressing population "problems" in the Main Arena. I feel bad for new players coming into the game and fighting off hoards of experienced players all while trying to learn to recover from stalls and spins. I'd like to see more "new" players being welcomed into the theatre, to participate in promoting it as a fun place to be. The majority of old AW players are a good group of guys, who are just here to learn.

There really is no justification for both CT and MA guys comments about differences of "personalities" being more suited for one arena over another. I'm a furballer to the n'th degree in the MA.  But when I enter CT I'm able to adjust to attempt to fly smarter. I'm not sure if it takes more SA or skill to fly in one over the other, all I know is I'm the same person in both, and contain the same amount of skill and SA. I probably have very little of either, maybe it's just easier to keep track of

I'm not sure if the garbage I just typed makes sense whatsoever. I suppose the bottom line is, that I'm far from an "elitist" in Aces High, yet I was welcomed there. I had fun even though I'm one of the AW dweebs that everyone so quickly reminds the arena's of, yet flew well and learned a lot from my AH Veteran counterparts. This arena has potential for everyone.

Now you've done it.

If I ever catch you in the CT.....
