I just read a post about another vet leaving. I am going to paste a post from one of my squaddies, who was responding to quite a bit of flaming on our squad site. His post cleared our brains like a good whack on the head:
My fellow squadies, After reading Dratly's last post I was likened to give my own view. AH ,like Aw ,is just a game,very good in fact . How can I say? It allows us to think and react to situations and moments we couldn't possible be involved in real life (ok , there are a small % that have) and survived to tell the tales . NO one likes to die , even in a cyber word and it gets frustrating or exhilerating , whatever the case may be . In the world of AH there is a ladder to be climbed. Where we are on that ladder is what we want to put into the game . To some people AH ,like AW , is basically all there is in life . Most of us have a job in life to carry out and look to AH as a release of sorts. Some people have a natural ability for this game and some don't, some this game is easy and to most it is work to be at the level they want to be . Frustration is a big part of this game too and it can be overwhelming , as a lot of our post do prove. The point
of this is to remind you it IS a game and there is a purpose behind
it!. From our ace= GA to me , the bottom feeder , we all feel we are better than we are but there is always some one better than you! Period . I know where I am in the ladder and its ok for now . I don't like it but it doesn't REALLY matter. I fly to have fun and when the fun stops ,I leave ,simple as that! I look for #'s for protection but my hopeless abandon for the furball gets me killed,,,,a lot ! I don't find AH as much fun as AW but its the best we have ,so I do the best I can while I am up ,mostly to pad peoples scores . But thats where I am ! Where are you? Have fun my friends ,but don't hurt youselves over a game! 'nuff said, BARRE
