Proposal for a "perk point" system.

[fscott]

Ok Jim, I checked you total hours for tour 12 and it comes out to 3.8 hours a day. You had 136 total hours, I had 145 hours for tour 12. It just seems very funny that someone getting around 3.8 hours a day of AH is whining about perk points and not enuff time to fly.

I am a full backer of the perk system and we are flying about the same. I consider anything over 2 hours a day, lots of flying time. So please don't put yourself in the "working man-not enuff tme to fly" crowd. Your not. If you don't have enuff perks, then like I said, work on getting more kills.

LOL Oh my god. Your unreal! I don't even think I will tell you why I'm on a lot more than I would be normally. Like I said I work construction. Yep I have been on a lot. I NEVER said I wasn't. But I REALLY hope that in the VERY near future I wont be. By the way did you think I was only speeking for myself. Read some of the other replys. You can just figure out for yourself what might at allow me to be on here as much as I have been. It certianly wasn't because I choose to. But it is something to do in the mean time. Thanks for playing big brother for me. I really do need someone to keep tabs on me.

If this gets to the point where your work stories start to include references to you shirtless and sweaty lifting pipes Jim, it could be a serious case of BBS plagiarism. Thewobbled could sue you for fiction copy write violations.

See, what you were saying until you got called on it and edited it out was-

 If guys like me only have two or three hours a week to play then they don't' have the time to build points. I would still like to get online when I have the time and have a shot at a perk ride as often as the guy that can set on here all day. It's not all about skill its about time also. I'm sure the HT people can sympathize with that. I bet they get plenty of OT.

 
You were complaining that you didn’t have time to get a perk ride, and for what reason your still arguing, I don’t know. You do.

 Seems to me it was, “I want ta perk ride, and this is how I can have it without any effort. Maybe with all that time on line you haven’t built toejam fer points. That would make sense of all this. Not to worry, I don't think alot of average player are. Im not anyways.

However, I wouldn’t be too alarmed though if you spent 5 hours a day and didn’t get a lot of points. I think they are testing the point system out, and it may change.

Just remember that perk planes aren’t here yet, and I think were originally for introducing some planes that otherwise would be unbalancing.

Oh, and ease off on Fscott, we didn’t mean any disrespect to your occupation as a Mechanical Piping Field Engineer. In fact I know many engineers, and was one myself!
 
I was a Flat Orbital Italian Food Products Construction Engineer once for Pizza Hut Industries Inc., and then a Mechanical Sprinkler Field Engineer for Rolling Meadows 9 hole golf course. (Specializing in h2O valve actuation to both on and off operations near critical practice putting areas.)
Back then, I’d be lucky to get 3 hours a day on AH, let alone 5.

 Believe me, I know EXACLTY where yer comin from.

LOL creamo! Very nice creative writing. My hidden point Jim, is that it just goes to show that people just like to start threads and whine about something which more often than not, doesn't even pertain to them. For instance I could waste bandwidth and post about how the C202 is so porked it aint funny, but heck I don't even fly it and never would. But hey at elast it would give me something to do while sitting around the house here wondering where I'm gonna spend my next welfare check.

Well... you can check my time on.  When i do get on for a couple of hours I want to fly with my squaddies on roger wilco and, like them, find some action.   I certainly don't want to deal with the convoluted and idiotic "perk" system and all the cowardly unbalanced bull it engenders.  I certainly do not want to spend my time working my way up to kill some cowardly perkie or wanna be perkie and I don't want to be dodging em either.

What's wrong with a fair and balanced planeset?  If it's a game then everyone should have the same choice of tools.

Ok children..lets put our much needed thinking caps on!

IT IS W I N T E R  T I M E!!!

How often do you guyz see buildings of any type being thrown up November - February in certain areas of the world where IT GETS cold, snowy, etc? Winter time puts big dampers on construction, and construction workers find lots of time on thier hands.  Construction generally coincides with GOOD weather...so a dude living in, lets say "a cold "winter" climate finds himself working overtime ALOT.  sheesh.
