Why you little whippersnapper! Have you been spying on me! (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/eek.gif)

So what you're saying, StSanta, is that Saburo Sakai was a dweeb for escaping into flak when he was in an A6M5, alone, against 15 F6Fs? (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)
I agree with most of what you listed, except for the running when the pilot thinks he'll lose. I feel no need to make myself available as a free kill to whoever wants to kill me.
If I got away, through whatever non-gaming-the-game method, it means you didn't ever have me. And as Mr. Sakai so adequately dmonstrated, diving into friendly flak is a very valid way for a slower aircraft to try to escape.

Nah, I think you misunderstand me.
"I shall run to acks as soon as I'm in the least of dangers".
This refers to people who are co alt or lose an alt advantage in say a 1v1 and then decide to run into ack instead of fighting it out, despite having other alternatives.
I run to acks as a last resort. It happens. I also extend a run a good deal, when I find more than one enemy fighter around and I am alone.
And, to you rip:

Dang.
I consider myself to be a total dweeb, yet I can only answer yes to 7 of the 20. I guess I had better work harder at my dweebery. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/frown.gif)

Fly from fear instead of from agression.
You are a dweeb.

eskimo, it takes great dedication and time to be a Dweeb First Class; some spend a life time practising.
At least, you are 7/20th of a dweeb! And you do dweeby things!

And lo, they cometh out of night, and spaketh
vile unkindness of their fellows, for in their hearts was a darkness most foul, which was nameth arrogance, and 'twas handmaiden to intolerance, And so fell the great fellowship, forever doomed to crawl upon the earth spitting vitrol and impercations upon the masses.
(In other words, anyone who honestly thinks that they aren't a dweeb, take a good long look at the reflection in the monitor screen)

Heh while the dweeb thing has a great history, it is based so closely to the Christian mythology that I instantly put distance between me and it (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif).
We're not all dweebs, just as we're not all sinners. It takes an active effort to become one.
I realize that this opinion is not the mainstream one, but I don't give a damned.
Are we all liars and murderers too?

well you got some of the stuff right, your trying at least.....

Well, the list will continually grow, I'm sure.
I've done most of the things on the list at one point or another. But I work hard on not doing them (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif).

Hehe you guys all took the same "Oath of the Dweeb" that I took, the first time you logged into an online flight sim arena anywhere.
It's a lifetime oath, by the way (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)
