Doctoryo, my approach to buffs is the same whether I'm on a streak or not. Fact is, I die almost every time when engaging buffs(formations at least) when flying a 51 so I avoid it. I do this whether I'm on a streak of 100+ or just died 6 times straight. Unless I'm in a plane w/ cannon, I really don't have much success w/ formations. I engaged a formations of 88's the other day because they were almost at the base, and low enough to score good hits..I got two of them then wrestled my smoking, damaged wing pony to earth. I also killed an a20 when those chasing it asked for help and I was the only one who could intercept it beofre drop. I was rtb and hosed it down w/ my 2 remaining guns but managed to get it. Geez wordy sorry... bottom line: I try not to engage formations in my pony, it's basically senseless suicide for me

Doctoryo as for fishu: There is compelling remarks here to indicate his streak was enirely gamey...thus not really a streak at all. Of course, Fester and Wldthing have already indicated that they have had streaks in the 100's... so it's a long shot from unique.

Rude: At this point it's not a lot of fun but it is challenging so.....

I guess I could retreat to 30k and cherry pick sleepers *yawn*

Here are how my 2 flights last night went just so you guys know that I'm not doing anything like what you suggest... but at the same time am just having good fortune.

Went to A5 from 219 at 13k. Bish and rook had full darbars in the sector and each had full dar bar in adjoining sector. As I got closer to A5 2 high F4U's harrassed several lower bish. I ducked and proceeded toward A5. At 10k, closer to base, an F4U4 angled in front of me trying to escape guys he had engaged and failed to kill, I was cruising pretty good so went after him. As we got close to base, I asked if ack was up, could get no response. Killed the F4U4(SkatSr), near the deck, right as ack started shootin at me(it was up, heheh).. wriggled thru ack without a hit.. out the other side. REst of fight was low near deck, dodged tempests, a couple ponies, and almost lost it to a good bounce from a FW(Goth) but a roundy on the deck and he was bled off and gave up. Got 4 more on the deck and went home.

Second flight: Went from 193 to 190, up to 19k to get thru mountains. No good guys there except my squaddie Davidd(Coors), not quite a full darbar there as we approach. Encounter 24k pony but he errs and Davidd gets him as the pony over commits to me. Guys grabbing from the base engage us(one p51B, spits and p38's) and a long fight ensues from about 10k to deck(to be fair here, from this point on we had an alt advantage or were coalt at worst). The guys we are fighting are all pretty new and make poor use of their numbers(us 2 against as many as 6 at once). I get 6. Davidd gets 7 in his spit! I take an HO but lose a gun is all. RTB

My point is: I'm getting some good breaks, doing nothing special. If the high pony is a veteran and he really wants me dead.. I'm in trouble.. as the fight got lower while I was defensive, the lower bad guys would have been able to get in. Of course, having Coors as a wingman helped, we might have been able to work the high pony before the alt got low enough for low guys to engage...never know
I'd rather be good than lucky, but for now, I'll settle for the latter.

It is so nice to see that exhibitionistic autofelatio is alive and well in this thread and this thread.

You're right Math, asking about kill streaks then attributing mine to good luck really an extreme way of patting myself on the back. I should be ashamed for proclaiming my luck so loudly. Shame on me!

Its not extreme, its sneaky. It just doesnt get by an astute brag spotter like Mathman. Altho I also saw it as a "LOOKATMYKILLCOUNT" post, I figured, why feed the monkey?

Jealousy is an easy thing to spot.. of course you can go on in any sort of insult/denial you want.. you've already spewed a couple. Since people like you never have anything but selfish or bad intent, you foolishly assume the same for all others. In this case you are mistaken. Although I was pleased and felt very fortunate about my streak, I don't need affirmation or attention. I DO enjoy the banter of the boards, in spite of the minor nuicanses negative folk like you and Math provide. I never once attributed any of this to skill and the only reason I asked on the boards is because no-one I asked privately in the game had an idea. I tried to quietly garner the info but had no success. Since I wanted to know, I posted the inquiry on the board. So please, go about trying to tear others down in an effort to build yourself up. Unhealthy at that is, you seem like the kind of person that has no other option.
Someday you may actually achieve something, even if it was by accident like my streak, and you will understand that accomplishing something is much more satisfying than insulting the actions of others.

Steve....

Dam i was on for 1 run last night...

Your Bish buddies were all ove rthis base of ours..

I got off the ground after being vulched 3-4 times...

Got free in my 109g10...killed 2 guys...grabbed away ..

Came back..and found a p-51 mixn it up..He was playing pretty smart..he tried to make a pass ..i didved on him..he hit the deck and ran!!!

I chased..I began to close up at 1-6...then 1,3...

I wasnt gettn any closer..so i started to spray soem MG;s his way..maybe scare him into turning..no go..

He kept at 1.3 away...I couldnt catch him!!?? I thought i was faster on dek...guess my 1/2 tank gas and wingpods were too heavy?? I dont know..

But i though maybe it was you for about aminute..I almost felt bad chasen the guy for 20 miles...He defntly did not want to figth me on the deck..

Steve, I was in a 163 about 24k over our HQ one time when I spotted a high con with 2-3 cons below it. Coming into range I saw it was a mustang. It swooped in on the cons below and back up. When it saw me it tried to dive away and run. Well, the runstang wasn't getting away, I chased, got him to turn(he had no choice), and got an assist as the 3 cons he was BnZing got their revenge. It was Steve. Upon your being downed you said "Dweeb 163" to which I replied "Dweeb runstang".

This is why I scoff at the mustang run. Just like you consider the 163 a dweeb ride, I feel the same about the runstang(cept the runstang can fly for hours).

Wanna hear about a good run? One time 999000 took off in b17's to hit an airfield capped by dozens of enemy. He went in at treetop level, took out the VH(and a couple of GV's) and made it home(many in chase) and landed 8 kills.

Jealousy? Of cherry picking? nah. I'm jealous of the ladder and KOTH people.One of these days I might even have the balls to try it:D

BTW, if your gonna toot your own horn on this BB, prepare to get flamed! (figuratively)

You might too Steve.

Not sure why people think manipulating pixels is some kind of "achievement."

Steve · « **Reply #72 on:** March 15, 2003, 07:44:43 PM »

Well Raub...it was an in-game achievement...was it not? I may not have spelled that out in concrete so let me clear it up for you, since you too seem to want to join the people who wish to insult me merely for making an inquiry, then chatting w/ some folk about it. It was merely an in-game achievement.. Few do it so it must be... I suppose we will see all of those insecure folk and people that just plain like to put people down say stuff like: It would be easy to do, just do this or that blah blah blah. Frankly, I say BS. Until a person has done it, they have no right to criticize someone who has. So for all of you that think it is so easy... it's time to run off a hundred or so.. and if all you can do to reply is: it would be boring.. or whatever other cop out you would spew... I say you either lack the discipline, skill, and good fortune to succeed and that you should probably shut the hell up.

Steve · « **Reply #73 on:** March 15, 2003, 07:53:37 PM »

Sixpence.. I just don't get it... I made an inquiry on the board... then spoke to some people about a run of good luck I had... truly the thing I enjoyed was the nice people that wished me luck. It's funny to see the small minded people call me names and assume the worst... but it tells me what kind of sad little people they are.
I actually was not surprised to get bashed, the world is full of people that criticize the efforts of others, having never done the same deed themselves. Certainly guys like Fester and Wldthing can put in their critique, they've been there... but these other folk who put me down then make excuses for themselves never having done what I did(in spite, as I've said.. luck had a nice hand) are pathetic indeed. I cannot think of anything other than closet jealousy, or again, small mean mindedness, that would make someone behave in such an unnecessarily mean spirited manner. Another thing... other people have said it could be done by cherry picking. Those that say I did it that same way, after I said I wasn't, are fools for continuing to assume such. I mixed it up as much as anyone save perhaps the guy who ups a vulched base..I'll repeat.. I got lucky a lot, I did not have the streak as a result of cherry picking.

BTW ~~for killin me w/ the 163... I hate those lil buggers.~~

Great streak, I'm impressed.
Steve, no need to justify any kind of a goal that you try for. Some folks will never get it. They'll insist that you're not having fun, or that it's not all that hard, or takes no skill or whatever. The truth is, whatever it takes, not many folks can pull a streak like yours off. Talk is cheap, but you did it. WTG.
