Can never find a fight on pizza map!

[Steve]

Lol Todd, you have succeeded in the intentional killshooting thing?  I have tried to fly in front of you to get you killed but never had any luck, remember that?  fun stuff.  Tell me the secret.


Rude and Toad, now I know why our little discussion in the other thread ended, it was sooooo boring compared to this... in!

Although I am too lazy to take my pony up past around 10k-12k, Rude says I am a sky accountant so my opinion may be totally wrong since I don't fit in with the "cool" guys of AH, the pure furballers.

Flying to survive is challenging and, contrary to the postulations of the cool guys, it does require skill. I think Rude said it best when he described his thoughts on his skill set being less than complete at the time he was a pure BnZ guy. I am going through that now.  Since spending some time furballing, I fly lower, and will engage and fight higher opponents.. blah blah blah.  Results: I have more fun in the pony now although it isn't the same as getting in the weeds and gettting twisty in my FM2 of doooooom (my own).
My official thanks to Toad, Slap, Todd, and Lazs for getting me to try the low down dirty furball...it's a blast.
Metatron, I'm somewhat bewildered that I've never run into you in the skies, oh well... coincidence. also, I don't fly much when pizza is up... I hate the map.
Anyway Metatron, I could fly around and have a K/D of 100/1 or so and would enjoy the challenge of surviving, but it wouldn't match the pure fun of flying around the weeds, whacking and getting whacked(for me anyway).  Try it dude, it will make you a better pilot, give you some good laughs, and you'll probably have a ball in spite of your survival instincts.

Shane is that a RL pic of yourself? If so, it's not at all what I imagined you might look like

I haven't thumped my chest at all in this thread.  Not once did I point to my stats or your stats to make a point in this thread.  I did provide a cautionary statement about using K/D to measure skill, but that was directed generally and not to you specifically.

What I have done was post a reply on the first page where I basically stated that Fester's map does not provide more frequent good fights than Pizza or Trinity or any other Big Maps, but that the reduced time to the fights makes them preferable.  In other words, I didn't even disagree with your original point, nor did I attack you, and yet any good points made by you or me or anyone else was lost once you went into psychotic chest thumper mode.

Again, by becoming so defensive and rank/stats conscious in this thread, you've done more damage to your reputation in the game than good.  To top it off, your original point became lost in the circus freak show you've created.  Do you fail to see this?

Nah, I'm talking about me trying to shoot down my teammates and failing.

Though the key to getting a countryman (or preferably a squadmate) to killshooter on you is to get in really, really close to a bandit (like 30-50 yards off his six) and then kick the rudder and twirl the stick around a bit.  If there's a crowd of guys behind you firing blindly at the enemy, the chances are pretty good one of them's going to hit you instead.

Wow...   I can see people seeing things a little differently from different points of view..   but your account strikes me as a bit delusional or confused.      Not worth the effort here...    

[edit added]   BTW... It was a good shot, no matter the perception.  

Time to just pull up a Chair...   Beer anyone?

Show me one camp you had a high k/d in Rude. Talk is cheap.

Look it up yourself hotshot...last time I checked my time was my own.

Let me guess...your k/d is a product of flying fighters or floatin ina boat? Maybe rollin around in a GV?

Toad called ya out last night only to find you not answering him, all the while, floatin ina boat paddin you score.

Not very impressive...kinda cute in a playful way, but still, not much of a display of your self ordained elite fighter skills.

The 13th has gone from one extreme to the other but choses to behave the exact way when defending their flying style.

Gotcha.

Yup....I have seen the light my brother....have been on both sides of the street. The men with the biggest nads fight in the weeds....those who scan the heavens are nothing more than ballerina's who from time to time have a nut drop and make a pass on usually a buff or C-47:)

I've always been for folks doin what makes them happy....but when someone with only b/z skills tells us all how it is and brags about what little skill they have, it usually catches my attention for an afternoon or two.

Cyas Up!

[Rude]

Rude, I thought I liked you, but I’m beginning to see you and your ilk as hypocrisy personified. More choices? Yeah, right. So long as we make a selection from your subset of choices.  

Calm down Beetle...once I saw your pic, I know you and I would would enjoy each others company:)

This is not about what you do or what I do, but rather about this cute little fella Meta and his bold skillset and years of experience, telling many here just how it is supposed to go.

(Pssssttt....listen up....I'm really kinda enjoying this thread as my days of late have been filled with far too much seriousness...try to play along will ya?)

Meta is a girlscout plain and simple....of course he could be Voss, but I doubt it.

In closing, I have learned of his secret place known only by himself and his fellow girlscouts.

Meta's Secret Place

Yup....I have seen the light my brother....have been on both sides of the street.

Probably time to stop standing on the side of the street and start thinking about getting into the race.

From the very squad whose mantra runs along the lines of ”fly what you like, like what you fly, don’t worry about what the other guy flies”,

The actual squad motto is "No mercy asked, none given."

The fly what you like is mine, Mine, ALL MINE! Although I did sort of copy it from the head of crew sked who used to put "bid what you like, like what you bid" on every system bid.


 

They say one thing, but do another.

Not at all. I know it hurts you to hear this, but we REALLY don't give a fig how you fly or what you fly. If you want to fly high and careful, good for you. You're certainly no threat to us; oh, you may scream down and nail us when we're already engaged with a few other bandits, but it's like getting hit by lightning. Usually just bad luck and plenty rare.

We fly the way we like and really enjoy it. We hope you fly the way you like and enjoy it too.


 

DO exercise the plethora of choices available to you in this game, and when you DO fly differently from them, you get insulted, and castigated along the lines of women with wings, masterful scorehounds etc. So much for all those choices.

I believe there's a misperception on your part. Again, we're glad you have all those choices and we're glad we have choices that suit us. It's all good.

However, that DOES NOT mean we respect your mad l33t sKillZZZ. We merely respect your right to make those choices and enjoy them. It absolutely DOES NOT mean that we're not going to laugh at your choices and the "styles" that result.

It does not mean that we're not going to hoot with laughter when some cautious cherry-picker type (not pointing any fingers here) trots out his Mah-vel-luss K/D stats.

Respect? Respect for me is pretty simple. I figure I'm supposed to win the fights where I have the advantage. I really respect the guys that beat the cr p out of me when I have the advantage. Yeah, there's LOTS of them.  

I am most happy when I win from a disadvantage.

Some guy that nails me from a high perch when I'm already engaged with two bandits and holding my own? Just an unfortunate thing, like a lightning strike; just bad luck.

Hope all this helps clear things up.

Oh, yeah.. btw.. glad to read you finally figured out the MA is not WW2. It never was meant to be WW2. It was simply supposed to offer prop ACM using WW2 aircraft. Well, back in the brown shoe days, that was the goal anyway.

Shane... yeah, I've been thinking "so THAT'S where Voss went" for most of this thread. I think you are spot on.

you dare to question my deduction?!?

compare voss tour 32 stats/scores with metatron tour 45...  uncanny. it really jumps out at you when you compare rides/kills in which vehicles. he's being more careful as this is a new account and he has to rebuild his perkies and not lose them, hence the 2x less k/t.

the chest thumping, "look at meeeeeee, recognize my greatness! respect mah au-thor-i-tay!"

the talking at instead of to with that knowiler than thou 'tude...

You mean Nascar 04?

I checked it out and bought it...there is a little gadget that will allow me to use the PS2 controllers thru a USB port on my PC....will that work ok?
