Last month saw astronomical numbers with the MA playerbase in terms of time online. The all time record has still not been surpassed and is still held by "UMAMA" in Tour 47 with a total of 314 Hours 17 minutes 15 seconds. Last month's PSA Winner was SKatter with 287 hours, 38 minutes. And without further adieu...
THE TOUR 49 PASTY SKIN AWARD GOES TO:
[list=1]Skatter! with 304 hours, 54 minutes, and 10 seconds![/list]
Second place goes to:
[list=1]Birdo! with 252 hours, 40 minutes, and 47 seconds![/list]
Third place goes to:
[list=1]Sads! with 210 hours, 46 minutes, and 5 seconds![/list]
Honorable mention:
[list=1]YUCCA - 203:00:24
aka - 201:44:26
Devus1 - 199:49:47[/list][/b]
Results are subject to change at any time (cuz I can't check the entire playerbase). If you find any player with more hours than our finalists, please report here!

Wuhuuu ive logged in 12 hours the whole tour! Cant imagine playing as much as some of the fellas above me..
-
LOL Ahhhh I remember the days....
Getting laid and job stopped all that. you lifelesss lucky bastiges:D
When you have all that time to fly it doesn't matter what maps are up or how the fuel is lol
-
I logged (a whopping, I thought) 120+ hours last tour. I spent more time in AH than at work, and my work time is fixed.
It wasn't a good thing, I got a bit bored. I enjoy AH more if I have to leave wanting more.
Well things are back to normal now, and I'll be looking at my normal 20-40 hour months now.
This AH thing is scary.
-
Congrats to those addicted flyers.
The addiction is strong.
To put it in perspective, the 332nd squad put in a total of 286 hours for the 32 of us (only 23 actually flew in the MA).
-
10.88 hours a day for a twenty eight day tour. He almost flew as many hours in one day that I flew for the tour.

BTW - what's the record?
-
It's up there Fork :) "UMAMA" in Tour 47 with a total of 314 Hours 17 minutes 15 seconds.
-
Is the actual time logged on measured or the playing time?
It's not hard to log in and be AFK for a whole day.
Just wondering...
Never got above 30 or 40 I think, I DO have a life y'know. If my friends were all avid AH players... welll that's another story. The only guy I can think off hasn't got the money to buy a reasonable computer and subscribe. Pity... I would have called him young Jedi and he could have called me Obi-Wan :D

you should see the hours people rack up playing Star Wars Galaxies. Some guy had to quit because he gained over 50 pounds in 7 months because all he did with every waking moment was play SWG. And the SWG forums are full of crying in beer stories of guys losing wives and girlfriends. Now that's sad.

Seems like UMAMA flew during his countless hours, at least the score and stats seem to suggest he didn't just log on and go to work or whatever.
1517 kills, 2197 sorties...
Mindboggling.

What is "Star Wars Galaxies"? Some sort of RPG/FPS/FlightSim combo thingy?

MMORPG and over the summer we're going to put out the space expansion pack with new planets and a space flight sim.

Well hopefully those are shared accounts. I cant imagine 10+ hours a day of AH is healthy - mentaly or physically.
I knew a woman going through a divorce and she got caught up in those chat rooms, email, icq etc. She was on the computer like 14 hours a day. She really started getting kooky -wanted me to check her computer to see if the government had installed a program on it (seriously!). I tried to explain to her that maybe she should go seek some help, and she went off on me. Oh well - sure hope she got out of it.

As I understand it this is only actual time in the cockpit being messured. Time spent in the tower is not counted.
You can do somthings that will inflate your "time" online somewhat. I've had squddies up a bomber from a field way in the rear then they'll hit autopilot and go fix dinner or somthing and come back an hour or so later and they're at altitude. Even taking that into consideration 10 hours per day holy ****! :)

How about a pasty skin award for AH message board posts?
Who has the record there?

No I used to be a part of the squad that Skatter is in. He is a salamander...has no job..... girlfriend....no college....just lives at home with his parents and plays AH all day. He has a bit of a complex about it too... Aprently playing for that many hours makes you some kinda AH expert or somthing... nevermind the fact this is only his 3rd month in the game lol.
-
what is really strange is that birdo is not well liked by Skatter, and Sads is always on the squad cannnle.... I am thinking maybe Skatter and birdo need some time apart.
-
You would think with the ammount of time they put into AH, atleast 1 of them could come up with a k/d of better than 1.3.
-
If he's such a jerk in RL, maybe all his friends and family bought him a puter and put it in the farthest corner room in the basement and payed his AH subsription.:)
They even encourage him now and then..."150 hours son? Now I know you can do better then that......try for 200 hours son"

I am thankful that my mother raised a son with more sense then that !
