OK guys i was just wondering what I could classify myself as now. From what I had observed there are 3 classifications. I could be wrong on this but they are as followed:
1) NooBs: These guys are pretty easy to spot they will HO and run(usually in a LA7 or spit). Shoot at you anywhere between 1.5 and 1.0 out with tracers on. They will get into a rear gun of a 110 instead of trying to maneuver. These guys are pretty easy to shoot down if you know how to avoid their HO. A simple rope usually does the trick.
2) TarDs:These guys are not so easy to spot, they can fly a wide variety of planes and can fly with tracers on or off. These guys will HO you but will usually not run from the fight. They have a understanding of what ACM is but they really not quite sure how to use it yet. Be warned around these guys they are learning how to shoot and can get pretty lucky with some shots.
3) Dweebs: These guys are the ones you need to be very careful around. They usually fly 109s,190s or Typhs, they almost always have their tracers off. These are the guys that you can get 400 off their 6 and then they magically appear on your 6 1 min later. These guys know how to shoot and can take a wing off from 600 out. You usually want to try to avoid these guys because they can shoot you down no matter what kind of maneuvers you pull.
OK those are the classifications and descriptions as I see them. Like I said I could be wrong and there could be other classifications I am unaware of. If so please enlighten me so I can either avoid them or hunt them down:D
P.S. this was all done in good fun so please no flaming
-
Im a tard with no tracers :D
-
Are you feeling a little pessimistic today, or has the community just completely failed you? :confused: :D
I really wish that XJ's old sig was kept intact. It had just about every classification there is in this game, and pointed out that every country has its fair share of each.
-
A dweebNoobTard?
:rofl JK
-
yep, you forgot tardling- which is a person who has graduated from noob status, but still HO's in a spit, but does so with tracers off. they have yet to learn ACM, and still don't realize that HOing in a spit is not a great option, and even worse running in one.
i'm not sure if there are dweeblings or not...... but fairly certain there are no nooblings:)
-
Add on to "Nobs"- ,are driving tanks 25+miles to enemy base without spawn point, defend HQ in m8s, escort CV in Ptboats, uping bombers and shoot their drones, send join msg when i'm in tower
-
i made a post like this once :rofl
some remember it, it is quite teh funnay now.

Originally by SNA on the now defunct furballcentral.com
Ok its about time someone started to put people in classes according to how they fly. There are alot of dweebs that fly, alot of Vets that fly and there are those who are in between that fly. I will do my best to rank you according to how you are viewed by me and what I have seen from you as a pilot in AW. Just because you p*ss me off or act like a d*ck doesnt mean im gonna put you in a low class. Attitude isnt what this chart is all about, its about how you fly and what you have come to achieve as an AW pilot.
[Class 1] fluff'n Dweebs:
These "pilots" have no idea how to fly and their first kill is probably one of their teamates. Their first contact with other pilots looks something along the lines of ''''''///@%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%SFA@#%%!@!!. They never stop getting vulched, other players from the other classes always like to see these guys log on. If they dont get some training or help soon they usually lose interest or get pissed off and leave the game alltogether.
[Class 2] Plain old Dweebs:
They have figured out how to get a kill and usually do one of two things; 1. They become a buff "artist" and usually join people as a gunner or decide to milkrun ungaurded bases; 2. They become a poser or a follower and hang around with some of the better pilots picking off the wounded. They usually try to start a squad and then ask everyone they see in HQ to join whether they know them or not.
[Class 3] Vulch/Alt/Gang Dweebs:
These pilots have learned that the easiest way to get a kill is to always have the advantage. To repay their old "buddies" they like to setup the enemy and call it roping. The only real rope they know is to go up and stall, zoom the enemy, go up and stall, and continue that process thinking they are kicking their ass. The ***** tulips and runners fall into this class. They think that the more points they have the better they are.
[Class 4] Furballers:
When Class 3 has learned that nobody really respects the way they fly, they usually will fall into this class and prove themselves worthy. They will go into a fight no matter what. This class hates BnZers and would rather die in a 5 on 1 then land 8 kills. They have found the true sence of the word "FURBALL". I respect this class just as much as Class 6.
[Class 5] ACE (Alt Monkey):
This class knows how to manage E and how to use ACM to the point where they are just about unkillable. Any time they die they usually come up with an excuse like "the phone rang". They will never admit they ****ed up. Just a little different then Class 3, they are both point mongers except the ACE cares about his ratio too. This is how they can tell if they are any good, if they have more kills then deaths and more then a 1:1 land/kill ratio.
[Class 6] Vet:
These pilots you will usually find dieing for anyone. They can pork, kill, BnZ, rope, just as long as it gets the job done. They dont care if they die in a buff or in a spit, they are there to have fun with their squadies and teamates. These pilots recognize skill and are usually the most benificial to their country. They like to go up against the pilots from classes 3 4 and 5.
[/b]
actually now i think about it...it was originally posted on dasnakes.com probably around 98 or so. There ended up such a contriversey on how SNA were classifying people that he made a script so anyone could rank another pilot. Got some examples here:
Ack-Ack (http://www.airwarrioronline.com/films/akak.htm)
Crims (http://www.airwarrioronline.com/films/crims.htm)
Murdr (http://www.airwarrioronline.com/films/murdr.htm)
ZZ3 (http://www.airwarrioronline.com/films/zz3.htm)
-
I'm a noob for 6 years in a row now.
-
You can add another classification, or maybe it's a subclass: Pathetic. That'd be where I fall.
-
I think we need 2 more categories:
1) Timid
2) Toolshed hero
The following shows a representation of both...
zOMG (http://www.furballunderground.com/blueknights_pictures/userfiles/superdud/Timid.ahf)
I have nothing against guys who like to land grab. I realize it's part of the game. But when I run into people like the 51, it really makes me lose faith. He never even put up any effort, I know his engine was hit but he could of at least tried something!!! The Hurri I have no clue what he was thinking. I got 3 this run and the only one which put up a "fight" and made me use ammo was a goon! It actually tried to manuever a bit and I had to shoot it lol. Sadly this is occuring more and more in the MA:(

Air Warrior and Monkeys
by Ho
Air Warrior is like the Empire State Building. And Air Warriors are like
monkeys.
When you first start you're a little, orgon-grinder size monkey standing on
the street outside. Looking up you see a building swarming with hostile
monkeys of all different shapes ans sizes. Monkeys are born to climb, and
there ain't no Fay Wrays standing on the street, so instinct takes over ans
soon you're jousting for a handhold and making yer way up the wall.
Some are Fast Monkets. A bit of natural ability combined with an in depth
knowledge of climbing. They become familiar with the cracks and crevices of
the particular building and begin to apply their knowledge within those
parameters. Soon they are climbing, dodging, or scramblin right over some of
the bigger monkeys and snatchin bananas from the slower ones, growing
bigger.
Others are Scrappy Monkeys. These monkeys spend extra time practining. They
ask lots of questions and live for the chance to go toe to toe with the
bigger monkeys. They punch, kick, bite, claw, and spit at the monkeys above
them. Scarred, bloody, and with big ol'chuncks of fur ripped out they monkey
butts they keep hammerin. Occasionally they land a good blow, right in the
monkey 'nards, and topple a bigger monkey. This inspires them to fight even
harder. Soon they learn where to hit and when to duck. They begin to take
their share of bananas.
Then there's the Hungry Monkeys. "Mo 'nanas!, mo 'nanas!" they chant as they
cling to the wall from 6:01 pm til 7:59 am. Calculating that mo'nanas go to
the monkey with mo hangtime they know that if they hang long enough they
will get mo than their share of the 'nanas. Of course they need deep pockets
to sustain this frenzy, can't eat all them 'nanas at once, and are prone to
the dreaded "Banana Split". They must be very careful, lest they wind up
another furry puddle of monkey guts in some alley off 34th street.
Also ya got yer Techno Monkeys. Bumpy FrankenSchwanz in each paw, electrode
catheters up their tail, anti-lock stainless steel vine swingers attached to
their feet, gold plated groin clamps feeding g-inducing jugular valves
hooked into the fastest system available, with the biggest monitor, tuned to
peak performance and cranking out thru a megagigawatt, 3D, multi-usual
Krakatoa Banana Blaster, these monkeys spend alot of time diddlin with their
gadgets and tweaking their way up the wall.
And, we got MacGyver Monkeys. Riding systems that time forgot with nothing
more than a handful of Froot Loops and a pile of bat guano they use every
trick in the book, and plenty that ain't, to squirm their way heavenward.
Always heavy, uncovering obscure and hidden bananas, they invent their way
along using every micro-ounce of every banana that they manage to ensnare,
even to the point of using the peels for clothing and shelter.
Advancing their altitudinous aspirations, AW Monkeys invariably encounter
the various denizens of the virtual Jungle.
Most encounter the Hurler Monkey first. Kinda like chimps, these sociable
chaps gather in large communal halls, spending their time practicing monkey
yells and poking each other in the navel. Once in awhile they venture out
for a climb but are much happier chillin with heir mates on the middle
floors, flingin monkey turds and grinnin at all that pass by.
Out on the wall a common first encounter is with a Sumo Monkey. these are
the veteran Hungry Monkeys. Thet've been there twice, done that backwards.
All the nonessential flotsam has been skimmed and the essence of the climb
congealed to a Zen like "See monkey, knock monkey down" philosophy. When ya
hear "Monkey X took my 'nana 16 times in a row one day", Monkey X is most
likely a Sumo.
No avoiding it, eventually every climber crosses ledges with Tribal Monkeys.
wearing the skins of ded monkeys, gathering in private branches painted in
various warlike colors, they belch, fart, thump n headbutt their way around
looking for others to belch, fart, thump n headbutt with. An astute climber
can get a good belly full a slightly bruised 'nanas by finding an area where
2 or more groups of tribal monkeys have been thump n headbuttin.
Look way up there, see that fuzzy lil dot? That there's a Vulcher Monkey.
High above the crowd, with a 10K alt advantage on next week, they float.
Looking for the unsuspecting or hurtin climber, sporting k/ds over 8000 and
k/ss around .0125, their motto is - "where there's smoke... we fire! (but
only after the monkey that caused the smoke has been kilt first".
Legend has it that in the penthouses are the Wrinkled Monkeys. Rarely
climbing, (hey yer in the penthouse, why climb more?) they only venture out
under dark glasses. They have the rare and exotic 'nanas. Highly sought but
useless to but a few climbers that are twisted enough to understand their
full meaning, the Wrinks are content to live on past glory. They enjoy
tossing an occasional 'nana out the window just to see how many climbers
fall off trying to grab it.
AND, of course, The Kong Monkeys. At the peak of prosperity, clinging to the
radio tower, chest pounding, Fay grabbin, teeth gnashing, flicking planes
away as tho they were insects, we find the Kngs. Keelin, scorin, the anchors
of their respective tribal units, when a climber see a Kong Monkey on the
wall he heads for another country. Whole tribal units have been de-'nana-ed
by single Kong Monkeys. Just when Joe Avg Monkey thinks he's seen
everything, along comes a Kong Monkey and gives that girl a twirl and makes
her whole wurl swirl. Clashes between Kongs can sometimes alter the entire
shape of the wall, cause the climb to take a whole nuther direction, provide
lotsa ammo for the Hurlers...
Leona and Harry Kesmai proudly announce the opening of the New Real Building
at 870;2 Arena 4.
The 'Nanas are fresher and sweeter and as of now there aren't many Kongs to
keep you from those Hooter laden Fays.
Fast Monkeys can get a preview of every nook and cranny. Scrappy Monkeys can
test there mettle on a bigger, steeper wall. Hungry Monkeys? Mo 'nanas, nuf
said. Hey Techno Monkeys git out your tweakers, plenty mo stuff to
calculate. The MacGyver's been over there already, gatherin trnkets.
Tis a regular simian shower over 870 as monkeys of all sizes leap off and
make thier way crosstown.
NOW FIGHT LIKE APES!

I love the Monkey Post, All Time Classic!
-
I remember that ranking thing. It was kind of fun to post comments about your peers. I printed the comments others made about me and saved it somewhere around here.
-
Hmm...
You call people Dweebs who out maneuver, out think and out shoot you? :confused:
-
I like azuls definition, im a noobtard with tracers on and a fable to attack aa guns (deadly trait i fear)
-
You forgot the 'plain stupid' category - The ones that fly with tracers on or, more often, tracers off. Usually in a slow, underdog, high-eny plane. They end up in a multiple vs one and have fun evading for some time. Inevitable they get shot on a regular basis.
-
Im a furball/noob =) Ill happily fight anyone but i will run if it gets to bad.

That would be me.

Like I said in my first post this was all done in good fun. There is so much name calling going on in the MA I thought I would put a little definition to those names. If you fall under the category of Dweeb, you are to be respected and feared.:)
But yes in my world I would call them a Dweeb. These guys have been playing this game for years and have learned all the ins and outs of it. More than likely putting in alot of time learning it to. So if sitting hours on end playing a computer game isnt a Dweeb you tell me what is.
So the next time someone calls me a Dweeb im going to tell them that I am still a Tard I have not gradiated to Dweebdon yet:D
P.S. The Monkey post was great. Keep em coming guys its interesting to see what everyone ranks themselves at

2) Toolshed hero
Under the convention I reposted Timid=class 3, Toolsheder =class 2. Guess I will always be partial to those classifications. After all there were hundreds of players involved in it, and over 1100 posted rankings.

I think there is one more classifation. The "Old Fart". We are the ones who come to play and have fun. Points and kills are nice, taking bases is good. We also can be so-so to good at flying, but most often have more bad days than good ones. What we do learn, we have a hard time remembering the next day, so we learn it again. We have the time to spend on the computer and may even have a "super" computer, but that just doesn't make us good. So we trudge along and do the best we can, when we can. So the next time you run across an Old Fart, you never know if it is a good day or a bad one, be careful because we just don't care if you shoot us down. We shall return!:cool:
I'm a proud member of the O.F.O.A.:D

You got it Azul. We have members all over the place. We also have a lot more who act it, but are not members. We have to try and keep you youngsters in line and ready to take our places when the time comes. hehe;) :D
-
How bout a Tard for asking? :rofl
-
lol Gato...i thought so. Im not to young but not too old either.
If you want some help with your bombing I can help you out if you want. Well I can at least get you to where you hit the target.
Let me know my email is azul32@comcast.net

I for one, am part of the "Cranial-Rectumous" pilots. < and proud of it! :p
I up my plane with no certain objective in mind, usually drinking a coke, smoking a fine cigar while looking for a redbar. 90% of the time I dont have alt , speed or plan of action, I see a red icon I head toward it. If you shoot me down thats fine, if I shoot you down thats good too. I have no fancy moves, my aiming sucks, my bombs miss by usually 100 yards. I've been Ho'ed I've gave some Ho's, I've been rammed and done some ramming.
I have gott'n passed the "spray and pray", I now "shoot and hope". I dont "run" , I "leave the area" I have found that If you dont want someone to "run", dont "chase" them. "Cherry pick" cant do that either, I always forget to bring a bag.
If the "Cranial-Rectumous" Pilot catagory did not exist there would be no place for me to be. CR=fun/no worries Some of you are better then me , some of you aint,. Its all good just up another plane.
I up my plane and fly for fun with my head shoved way up my bunz, but hey! AH is for flying and having fun, even for those with there head in their bunz.
Signed
Mr. CR
-
Tactic, that is the way to have fun, I agree. No worries about score and just flying for the fun of it. I think the CR's can get along with the OF's. You don't have a plan and we can't remember a plan. :rolleyes:
But it is also nice to work together as a team at times and take bases. So I guess I'm of two minds (both forgetful) on this point. What was the point?:confused:
-
Lmao Gato! The way i see it is, were fine and if they want our help "They" will have to remember where "WE" are going. :) Its people like us that throw off the enemy, "WE" have the enemy thinking, What in the hell are they doing? Freaks them out because "we" dont even know 90% of the time. :eek:
OF's and CR's we're doing great!! keep up the good work, where ever that is :p now back to the subject,, ummmm yah, what...... whats this post about? tuna sandwich, . fries with that? shoot the red!!!! lol!!! :)
