Idea for a new award :)
« on: June 15, 2002, 03:44:08 PM »
Hi all,

When checking all those awards which are around lately, one thing which I wonder, why you award only people who are low class, when there is so many high class guys around.

I am not intended to make it regular, but if you want my opinion, I think I will nominate Ammo. He is always friendly, do not talk trash, ready to and to help when needed. He enjoys game, and do not prevent other people to have their share of fun :)

I know there are lot of such people in our community. If you want to name some, feel free, go ahead :)

Preach it brother :D.

Here's a few that come quickly to my mind:

Frenchy - yes another 56th guy and one that drives a mean Jug.  I know I'm in for a tough and fun fight win or lose when I get tangled up with him.  I haven't ever seen him whine or talk trash with his foes including myself.

DmdCoach - another really classy foe in my opinon.  He flies a mean Tyffie and never whines or trash talks either after outflying the other guy (many times me).  One time I chased him while he was in a Tempest for a really long time while he dodged Rook after Rook after Rook.  I chased him all the way back to his field with his radiator damaged and as he tried to land I was able to get the kill though I died a split second after that paying no regard for my safety in chasing down a Temp.  He gave a at the end of that and never gave any complaint though others would have done so.  Classy guy.

Frodo - a fellow rook countrymen of mine.  Always there to help, clears your six, a great stick, and all 'round classy fella.

There are plenty of others in my book... Toad, Beemer, RAMJAGER, killjoy, RAFbader... I could go on.

Good topic Fariz.  Thanks for starting this thread.

I would include the entire 56th with this statement.

It' always a pleasure to run into them (all of them, usually all at once! LOL) And like you said, win or lose the experience is always a good one.  :)

What a refreshing idea Fariz to you for bringing a most positive thread forward.

My nominee is someone who is not currently flying Aces High...but for a very good reason as he joined the USAF a month or two ago. This person was my first recruit for No.9 Squadron RAF and I could'nt have recruited a nicer guy. He became not only a great squad member but a very good friend to me and although we were separated by that little pond the Atlantic I felt I got to know him very well. Always and enthusiastic member and a great XO who helped me keep everything running smoothly. I'm proud to count him as a friend. I doubt he will be able to read this but I'd like to my friend Joe 'Aviator' Elliot.

Fariz...
It might be because it's a lot easier to pick out the low class ones...a vocal minority is much easier to see :D .

For every classless wank I've met...I've met at least 5 great people. Unfortunately, the wanks generate much more text..hence much more notice...go figure :rolleyes: .

Great Idea! Maybe this will encourage people not to whine so much and encourage Pyro/HTC rather than discourage every time they add a new plane or other features.

FiLtH is here now?  Great!  I always liked his events in AW - "Rolling Thunder" was a favourite of mine and his "Party Barges" (FR pilots invaded the RR arenas...  :) ) always sounded a lot of fun too, but were always too late for me.   I look forward to meeting up with FiLtH again here.  :D

Fariz. We pay way to much attention to the Whiners on this board, that the people who really care about other people, and are respectful are often overlooked.
