Several billion words it seems....

My one and only point is, outside of lazs, you don't hear any other furballers saying anything about putting an end to the buffers. The reverse is not true. And even in Lazs's case you don't necessarily hear him say "end buffing", it's more like, "do it so long as it has no impact on what I want to do." Maybe that is silly in the grand scheme of things (maybe not), but he isn't making plans to disrupt the buffing way of play.

Bear in mind, this only applies to those buffers who've voiced a desire to end furballing. The arena proves furballers are in no way a minority, and assuming the vast majority of players are semi-intelligent, no re-education program is necessary to help them understand the error of their ways.

Also bear in mind I would be just as vocal an advocate for the buffs if someone was seriously attempting to end thier way of play, too.

It wouldn't bother me if fluffs went away.  I don't like fighting em and don't like the lopsided effect they have on the game.   I don't think they are worth calling for an "end all fluffing" campain...

I do hear over and over how we must fix this or fix that to end the furgball and force people to fly a certain way.  

when I check scores for "mauddib" I get zero hours spent in the arena.  What is rank?   I have never seen anyone with the spice boys handle in the arena.

Its MuadDib.....

mUaddib, not mAuddib

Thinking back on it, who ever called for an end to furballs?  That would remove the largest portion of the food chain and disrupt space folding.



He who controls the fluffers controls the universe....

Lazs, you missed a d in the name.

In any event, I don't think you should pride your rank around like that Muaddib... especially when your k/d is only 2.4 while Lazs is 3.0272.. your kills/sorte is only .9 something while lazs is 1.4016. He's also close to 2 up on you Muaddib in the kills/hour category. and has twice your hit percentage.

So while you may have some nifty rank, the substance that makes that rank has nothing on Lazs.

I have never claimed to be anything but mediocre at this game.  I will say tho that my stats make ol spice boy look even worse.. It also appears that 26 of his kills were with the ship gun and that in the plane I fly he is 1/1  4 kills 4 deaths.  

SW... his hit percentage is twice mine not the opposite.   I am a lousy shot and take high percentage shots...  The stats are fun to look at tho.  They tell you what a guy likes to do.   Looks like spice boy likes to look for easy kills where he can catch someone assleep and pump a lot of rounds into em.

I can see why he would not want to get into the main fight.  Still.... I've never seen the guy online.  He may zoom down some day and kill me while I'm busy or just assleep at the switch but his ilk is no real threat to me in the main.

Whoops, my bad.

Either way, I was just showing that the way rank is- it's only a number.

Kind of like saying "Well I'm customer 0001 and you are customer 0002"... big whooptie.

I agree with you SW.. peoples stats are interesting tho taken as seperate parts...

Also... it appears that spice boy has not flown any tour except this one.. no wonder no one has ever heard of him.

Wtf? That's nice Muaddib, you made a post about your stats vs his in your "last tour" here where you flew mainly USAAF rides.

Why'd you delete it? Figure it might give away who you are?

Besides, his kills/hour was still higher.. by 3 if I'm not mistaken while everything else was pretty much the same.

AKsW: Lazs is a big boy.  Im sure he can stand on his own two feet.

In any event, Ive recently come back into the game with a goal of getting good in USN F6Fs and F4Us.  Previously I flew USAAF stuff.  

Heres the fighter stats in the last full tour with which I flew my main ride comparring we two accomplished fyter pylits.

K/D Me: 3.7 Lazs: 3.7
K/S Me: 1.2 Lazs: 1.4
K/H Me: 6.1 Lazs: 9
Hit% Me: 9.6 Lazs: 3.1

Me
182 Kills 33 Deaths
Lazs
72 Kills 17 Deaths

So we would tend break about even but Ill give a nod here to lazs.  He is a successfull furballtician.  I prefer to ZoomBoom.

roadkill spice boy... the last tour you were in you have a k/D of 2.4 (mine is currently 3.2) and a k/S of 0.9 (mine is currently 1.4) and K/H of 6.12.  (mine is 7.4) You have no stats for earlier tours than this one.   You also would have an even worse K/D if you didn't have 26 "ship gunner" kills.

you have only flown one tour in AH and it is the current one.   Looks like you cherry pick and I don't and I still do better than you and..... I ain't much good at this stuff.

SW, a nifty rank isn't anything to be proud of!  ;)  I still suck at this flyin' crap.

edit:  I'd like to point out that rank doesn't change the fact that ONE Lancaster can destroy all 3 FHs at a field with ease.  That's a fact, not opinion.  The fact is it does happen too.  I've seen it happen like Wotan says, where the guy just drops the hangars to drop the hangars.  No attempt is made to knock the town down and get the goons to the maproom.  One person, one plane, 3 clicks of a button.

Not quite my point. Read his posts. He said he quit ah came back with a new name to hide from his previous reputation. Hes also dancing around the fact he may be discovered. I dont care who he is or who you are or anyone is.

Hes clearly going at laz as if he knows him. Why then hide yourself.

I know plenty of folks who leave ah and come back with different niks. I dont know any that leave because of their bad rep then return under a new nik to start over where they left off.
