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

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

Stop it!!!

You're givin me the CREEPS!!!

Thought it was Voss to start with but has metatard ever whined for half an hour on chan 1 about getting ganged by more than one plane at a time?

And Shane I believe it is "Respect mah au-thor-i-tay!"

If it's Cartman I hear it as: Respect Mah Auth-or-i-tah!

Can't believe how much I hear "skill" associated with a video game.

Relax, it's a video game.

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.

I looked it up. Neither you nor Toad has ever had much of a k/d but I can see now that you professional flight sim guys tend to think of high k/d in a diffrent light. So what Ive done isnt impressive to you. Ill keep it going anyway. My dollars and all.

As far as calling me out I saw the cv under a elevated field. Three bishops in view and ten knights. Yeah looked like a lot of fun. I went back to the twenty versus twenty fight. More even odds which may contrast with your desire to be at a disadvantage but thats just stupid by my way of thinking. I dont think you can pad your score from a boat but maybe you know something I dont. So you use the spy account thing too? Intersting.

Someday you will have to show me what your elite skills are like. I outlined all Ive seen out of you. It was interesting fun the first time and a lack of a challange the second. Then I read your arrogance on the bbs and it makes you look bad. Maybe these other guys know you better but I see it diferent. All the negative attitudes in this thread about cant find a fight and how your methods are more fun and everything else is boring stinks of arrogance.

Pay your money play your game thats toads is it? Funny sounds like something he said once and then you all deride anyone that tries. The game is fun any way you choose to play it. The thirty of you or so that posted a dislike for pizza map shouldnt control whether the map goes or stays. Its a fun map to a lot of people I hear from online. Id like to see the owners post a pole online. I saw maybe 1500 had logged in until the pizza map rolled in and then the number soared to over 3400. Maybe Im reading the score page wrong but thats the way I read it.

Todd or leviathn what you think of as a bad reputation is your perception. Alot more people read this than post here and alot have told me contrary to what you say. Someone that has the gall to post contrary to the established pecking order apparently does get respect to some degree. So no I dont respect your pecking order. To my way of thinking flying often and dying just as often is stupid. It goes against every common sense view point you could have considering air combat. So whether the game rewards living or not thats my game. Those of the elite I dont care for your respect. Its misdirected.

You want to fly stupid go ahead.

Toad · « **Reply #172 on:** October 29, 2003, 07:45:01 PM »

Nope, not much of a K/D here. Probably about 2/1? Just a guess. Check my score in GV's too!

If HT put it in the game he must have meant for someone to do it or be allowed to do it. So if you want to spawn camp a Tiger or be a high-alt pilot that avoids risk at all costs it's sure OK by me. As I mentioned to Beet though, that doesn't generate any awe or respect on this end. In fact, I think that stuff is a laughable waste of time. But that's just my opinion.

I'm impressed by and respect folks that routinely and easily kill their opponents when fighting at a distinct disadvantage. THAT is what impresses me. And you know what? Most of the player base instantly recognizes these folks and the ability they display as clearly superior. All without anyone having to toot their own horns or trot out their Mah-vel-lusssss K/D.

But anyway, welcome back Voss. Knew you'd show up sooner or later.

Oh, yeah.. what's numbers got to do with anything? Lots of bad guys is just a target rich environment. Three spits on your six is better than no spits at all.

Yeah right ... There were 2 CVs there and both were spewing out Spits, Zekes, Corsairs, Hellcats, and Wildcats like ants out of an ant hill. We were also being attacked from the west at the same time.

It would have been SAFE for you to launch and get some altitude and try to get into the mix. We WERE hoping that you would show and give us a sample of your elite skills, but I guess it was too much for you to handle and put that amazing K/D in jeopardy.

So, I begin to fight in the weeds and solicit the help of the skilled pilots in this game to help me learn how to really fight, not just get kills and a high K/D. The 13th has also followed that doctrine.

How interesting. You just put to words what I felt, but couldn't really define. I know the "correct" way to fly, but it doesn't help when I get bounced --I usually end up biting it.

Lately, I've been sending my p38 into low and slow carrier fights. I just try to find SlapShot, he's usually got a nice hot spot. My SA has improved, my ACM has improved, and, funny enough, I've been having more fun.

MetaTron · « **Reply #177 on:** October 29, 2003, 09:35:39 PM »

That is an interesting similarity toad but I bet you could find more than a dozen in the top 100 that are closer. I doubt voss ever ha anything like my success rate and probably couldnt shoot any better then your buddy rude.

SlapShot · « **Reply #178 on:** October 29, 2003, 10:09:51 PM »

And then there was GPreddy ... he came onto the scene at Tour 34 (when Voss disappeared

).

GPreddy felt it was his honorable duty to protect CV groups, much the same as MetaTron feels that it is his honorable duty to protect HQ for the sake of the country.

hmmm ... numbers look familar ?

And oddly, a lot more than who post here have told me that they think you're acting immature and retarded.

Pecking order? LOL. You act as if there's some vast conspiracy out to get you. Stop thumping your chest, stop comparing your K/D ratio to others, stop trying to pick fights, and stop trying to measure your skill in the game by stats or ranks... then nobody would think you're acting immature and foolish here no matter how you fly.

If acting like an egotistical poor sport pits you against the "established pecking order," then color me the establishment.

Oh, I would say that you absolutely care. The fact that you keep posting here shows me that you do. The fact that you feel the need to defend your behavior shows me that you do.

Look, I don't care how you fly. To my view, spawn camping and cherry picking are just as unrealistic as furballing -- and many times even more so. To attribute some historical character to the way people fly in this game is silly. Pilots flew to complete their missions; what's your mission other than survival?

You want to fly stupid go ahead.

I don't fly "smart" because it bores me. I don't pay for or play games that bore me. It's a really simple calculus.
