I'm trying to do you a favor, MetaTron.  The more you talk, the worse you look.  The more you wag your virtual noodle around for everyone to see, the more and more like a complete fool you appear to everyone.

I checked your stats as far back as tour 32 and the more you fly the less you land. I can see how you would react the way you do. Same goes for rude whos crowning achievement seems to be a k/d of 10. Im impressed.:rolleyes:


I wonder if those stats include the times I intentionally killshooter myself on squadmates out of boredom.  Or auger intentionally to go find a better fight.  Or put myself at a disadvantage against great odds because it seems like the thing to do.  The stats tell you nothing, of course, other than the fact that I don't care very much about stats.

Hey, the game's about having fun.  I don't begrudge the way you fly one bit because that's fun to you.  However, to attribute some level of skill based on stats that result from dramatically different flying styles displays ignorance.

Well Todd you read what you want out of it. The point is only a fool cant find a fight on a map populated with fights.

That was your original point, but it got lost in the sea of chest thumping afterwards.  I don't see how declaring that I have noodle envy strengthens your argument.

Ya, hes done the same to me... A swell lil funny thread here. But, way back up when megatron was comparing stats, did he mean to use Toad's stats and not Todd's(levi)????  Maybe i should have started reading sooner in the thread and i missed.

Sky accountants?? too damn funny!!! What they may or may not realize is that most any furballer can and has flown in the weak, dweebish, boring 25k jump the first nonsuspecting bogey and then run away. Even the best furballers started somewhere... And it prolly wasnt in the middle of a furball. Perhaps the answer to the enigma is that these 'sky accounts' have not yet evolved to the level of being able to handle a fight and live furball scenerio. Thus, they are still happy with 1-3 kills/flight/100% fuel load. The difference is a mere state of mind.

O ya.........

da PIZZA map sucksass because of lack of fights/ bad color/ and terrible alts

I dont see that you have any argument at all except for your own chest thumping. Did you say anything relevant?

Metatron:

Leviathn hit the nail on the head.  Whatever point you were trying to make is getting lost in your self worship.  Too much noise and not enough signal.  Lower the noise and you might get a better reception.  

2ndly in trying to gain respect I think you're losing it.  Anyone who thinks respect is earned by stats or scores is showing their ignorance.  Everyone know's the respect that really means anything is not how good you think you are but how good others think you are.  Think about it.  Your premise seems to be "you guys don't know what you are talking about because I'm so much superior to you".  How ludicrous does that sound?

3rdly let's not do a retread of realism vs. gameplay.  We've been down that merry-go-around way too many times!  It's not a realism vs. gameplay issue, it's a gameplay vs. gameplay issue.  

And finally I don't complain about the maps.  I take what they give me and adjust my gameplay to the map.  However if you were to ask me, the map that I like the least is Pizza for a lot of the same reasons everyone else has mentioned.  See it the way you like, but it's pretty foolish to discount and ignore the experiences of others.

Metatron is an Archangel and a Seraphim who sits beside God...  the voice of God...

as if...

[size=10] Voss[/size]

... and if anything he's gotten more timid in his flying... tour 32 (Voss) 6.84 k/t in ftr - tour 45 (metatron) 3.42 k/t in ftr; exactly twice as timid for comparable stats. you doubt me? check the score/stats pages, it jumps right out at you.

well metatard... not really fair to compare the skills of a real acm expert like yourself with the worst players in the game like dead man flying or drex or somebody... they haven't garnered the well earned respect that you have from other players.... probly never will. :rofl :rofl :rofl

Metatron you are saying Manx isnt anygood? :rofl :rofl

Manx is one of the best flight sim pilots I have ever seen. His ability to adapt to new flight models and gunnery models astounds me. I too can adapt, it just takes me alot longer :lol Some of my most vivid memories of fights in flight sims are ones vs Manx, especially one in Air Warrior. We dueled (after I shot him down when I had a significant advantage. Was a really sweet 700 yd shot :D ) he was in a Mustang I was in my Hog, if someone from my country hadnt come along and killed Manx I would have died. :eek:

*edit* whoops....forgot to use the quote tool thingie when I quoted Lazs. First part of the post is a quote from ...you guessed it...Lazs:lol

Corkyjr on country jumping:
In the end you should be thankful for those players like us who switch to try and help keep things even because our willingness to do so, helps a more selfish, I want it my way player, get to fly his latewar uber ride.
