Contest is Unfair!!!
« on: December 02, 2002, 08:46:50 PM »
I'm not sure what the management of HTC was thinking when they decided to bring this biased contest into our lives, but I can assure you, and I can assure them that I will not stand for it.

By its very nature, this contest singles out and punishes those who need the most protection in our little flight sim society - the weak, the untalented, those with wives who won't let them practice enough, and dammit - the CHILDREN - think about the CHILDREN!  Tell me, how can HTC be so cruel as to turn their back on us?  We need money too, and arguably more so.  Surely, these pilots at the top rung of our society do not need this influx of cash as urgently as the rest of us.  We, the poor, unwashed masses yearn for company subsidies to help us overcome our flight sim shortcomings, nay our flight sim handicaps!  We are in urgent need of high priced flight gear, bigger monitors, and more processing power - anything that can bring us out of the hole that this society has put us in, and allow us to reach our dreams of greatness!

Alas, it seems that The Man cares not for our suffering, and is content at rewarding those who have no need for recognition.  And because of this injustice, I pledge to fight the good fight against this tyrannical administration, until the needs of ALL pile-its are realized!  And finally, and most importantly, I Like Pizza!

Thank you, good citizens of Aces High.

SOB, I disagree.  I think HTC has it exactly right. Anyone who is putting in 150 to 200 plus hours a tour surely isn't working or even looking for work.  ;)   I would go even further and suggest that HTC doubles... even triples the cash prizes. At least this would take these people off the welfare roles. :rolleyes:

Yes, I think most people with enough hours to be in the top 15 can't be employed.  Think of it as a welfare bonus! :)

Thats right, SOB.  Bow down to the juggernaut known as the Aces High Elite.  You possibly believe that you and your dweebish kin can partake in such a mighty tournament of champions?  You are mere fodder for us.  Pay up bucko', this scorepotato is gettin' paid.  Hmmm...oh wait I don't have 120 hours of spare time.  I take it back.

Heh...more satire than troll, and besides Drex isn't much of a catch.  He's always whining and squeaking about something or other, and he's really not a very good stick.  I've tried to lay off killing him whenever we've been prop to prop just to try and boost his confidence behind the stick a little, dweeb that he is.

Right, because these are the people that made AH the game it is today (from a data transfer rate that is), :rolleyes:
