table is done, and there is also a larger version for better printing linked below:
hope that those matches are to everyone's liking :)
(http://www.thesproge.com/uploads/AH2v2table1.jpg)
and the larger, printable table (http://www.thesproge.com/uploads/AH2v2tableLarge.jpg) here.
all, let the fights begin!
the match times will be whatever you and your opponents chose, and when both teams meet in the DA, plane choice is totally up to you to agree upon, for each round. best of 3 wins it...
please record fights incase of disputes, and, perhaps, for a film of the best moments :D
all fight parameters such as merge alt, fuel load and such is up to the combatants :)
thanks all, now get to it!
-
Wow, this looks like some VERY interesting pairings......
Poof, maybe you should set a (realistic) date, when all the fights will have to had taken place....
-
You know, I shoulda just posted my name in asking for a winger. Looks like a lot of fun.
Good luck to all the participants =)
-
welp, I had originally backed out , letting Batfink wing with WildThing.........
but guess I am in it now, since I am listed.......
WT you got my email addy,
Scrap/Lute say when I guess.........we could handle our matchup this coming Saturday evening right before the KOTH tourny? what ya'll say?
-
just FYI, Oobi is now aquabat, and Pooface is now Biggles :)
-
And another FYI - if anyone wants to get their first round vs. Aquabat & me done within a reasonable amount of time, it'll have to be done soon. Headed off for the Carolina's late Thursday evening. I'm available from 6:30pm EST today and tomorrow. Thursday is a stretch, but perhaps possible.
PM me, I guess.

ReDhAwK, Iceman has strict orders not to shoot his SEA teammates. :D
I know Ice is a good shot, he was our top pilot a few weeks ago in the FSO event. He would be a good replacement.

IF we can't get our first round done by tomorrow night, I might have to take you up on that offer and give you my slot... I really don't feel like holding the whole show up on account of a vacation :(
Let's see what everyone else says first though.
-
Vudak,
Tonight or tomorrow are good with me, I will check with Sled. I am just missing about 40 hours of practice right now, that would be my only reservation.
:)
BTW, did anyone finalize the rules for this thing? Who chooses the airplane and such?
Nevermind Vudak, you are paired against someone else. I was thinking you were Redhawks partner.
-
"ReDhAwK, Iceman has strict orders not to shoot his SEA teammates.

hahaha TracerX thats funny.... Yeah Tracer told me I cannot under any circumstance shoot a SEA squaddie lol :) Yeah Tracer I wish I could have carried that over to this past friday, i flew like crap in that TA152 lol

Oh Ive flown against 24 for years. I know how good he is. You'all better hope 38s arent selected with Iceman in this :t
ReDhAwK
-
I'm just guessing here, but somehow we have to choose a plane to fly in right? How is this supposed to be done? In previous duels, plane choice went to the team listed first for the first flight, then alternating after that. May I suggest an alternate rule?
First plane is chosen in the following manner. First listed pair chooses 3 different planes of different types (Spit I, Spit V, Spit VIII would not count) and the other team selects one of the three planes to fly, then the first match is flown, and the looser of the flight chooses the next plane. This would not be like the first flight, they just choose the plane they want and the next flight is flown in that plane.
If this has already been determined, please ignore the above.
-
im in the same boat as vudak, im off for a bit on friday morning, not back for several days.
it doesnt all need to be done overnight though, i expect this will take a month or so to get 2 winners :)
-
Just for the record, Raptor01 = Raptor

oh, you changed it did you? :)
-
Raptor, whatever's good for you two is good for Lambo and me. Generally, anytime in the evening or night ET is good for us, but we can make other arrangements if necessary.
-
Alrighty then,
11pm Eastern and no reply from Knite (no harm, no foul bud). Poo, If you will sir, Iceman24 will be replacing Hoarach as my partner.
Sled and TracrX, Iceman and I should be good anytime after 9pm Eastern time during the week, basically anytime this weekend as well. My mail addy is
redhawk at chartertn dot net
Iceman already posted his addy. If you guys will just let us know the "when" then we will be good to go. I'm bringin the paddle. Iceman has the hot-sauce :aok
ReDhAwK
-
ok cool :)
try to film the fights aswell guys, would make for a great movie :)
-
Heya ReDhAwK, thanks for the offer and sorry for the lack of response. =)
Good luck to you and Iceman! You'll likely do better with him anyway. hehehe
-
sorry knite :(
depending on how successful this is, perhaps next time we'll get more people and have an even bigger tourney :)
ouch, just think of it, a 32 pair KoTH! man, that would be quite a spectacle:O
infact, lute, fuze, or any other CMs, have you ever thought of running koth in pairs? might be a fun experiment...
-

No need to apologize Biggles =)
I wasn't sure I'd be able to get a wingman, nor be good enough to put up much challenge, so i hemmed and hawed and was late. My fault all the way. =) hehe
As a side note, hopefully someone's being foresightful enough to film some of these fights. ;-)

Let's see what everyone else says first though.
Vudak-
As of this moment, haven't made contact with partner now that we have match, so don't know when he is available, but I am almost sure it will have to be after Thursday, or Friday for me, meaning the weekend.

I said I wanted IN but I see I'm not. TC if you want out just tell Wldthing I'll wing with him. If not just let me know! Thanks.
-
oops, sorry rock, didnt know :(
perhaps you can fill in for anyone who cant make it. we'll try squeeze you in:aok
-
Well, given what Sloehand's said, Skyrock can take my place. Once again, I don't want to hold up the whole show and quite frankly I'll probably still be drunk by next week anyway :D
Aquabat, I think you're in better hands anyway ;)
I'll catch the next one, Ladies and Gents, have fun
-
hey vudak you dont have to drop out lol. wait and see if someone cant make it first :)
-
<-----------------------WAS GUNA BE SONIC's Partner to bad vacation made him have to find a new one DANGIT!

Or married? :D
Have fun!
-
So biggles when is the first fight?
-
im afraid im away for 5 or 6 days this evening, but we'll grab hold of cooley and clev after that :)
-
AKDogg and AKSketch,
It's been three days now that I've been trying to contact
Timid and I've gotten no replies. I'm gonna have to assume
aliens have kidnapped him and he's no longer on the planet.
I wish to apologize on behalf of our "team" for the ladder. But,
sometimes things are just out of your control. This being the
case as I don't have a wingman any longer, I officially withdraw
from "the ladder" and default the win to AKSketch and AKDogg.
My sincere apologies for any inconvenience or disappointment
this may cause. I myself am very disappointed and again, I
apologize for this occurance.
Regards, Oddball
-
That's not fair Odd!! I didn't even get to shoot anything, even if it was my own wingman I was shooting at! :t At least I would have gotten to see something blow up! I will let Dogg know bro. If you can find someone to fill in let me know... :aok
Has anyone even had thier fights yet??
-
Sketch,
I'm certain I could find a replacement, bro. But it would not be
"the right thing to do" as old "Wilford Brimley" might say.
Again I apologize for any inconvenience or aggravation this may cause.
Good luck to you both!
I'll be rootin' for you guys.
My best as always, Odd
-
Oddsimus Maximus,
Alright then, I will let Dogg know... Honor among us my friend!
-
i should be free anytime after 4:30 pm central and anytime on weekends, i posted my email earlier and replied to several sent in my 1st round group but thought i would go ahead and put it in here as well. what we did at the con was the 1st round both teams agree on a mutual plane and then the winner picks from then on. alt limit was 6k and no HO shots until the 1st 2 planes merge or pass eachother
-
I believe that Sunday was clear for all of us in Icemans group. However, nothing has been finalized. I know I can be there at anytime the others can meet with a couple of hours notice. I'm open to any aircraft to start her off. I assume we will be doing best of 5 like the ladder?
ReDhAwK
-
best of 5 works for me i'll be available sunday anytime
-
Aquabat (Oobi) -
I left a 'Private message' for you and we can communicate that way if you like.

Well, Solas lives in Germany and usually gets on between 3-6pm EST. I have to work from 4pm-11pm to 1am, which means I have to leave by 3. I would need it to be before 2pm EST, I do not know if that is ok with the rest of you or not.
-
hey odd instead of forfeiting do you want another partner I am a better fighter then a speller . just not much better
-
Hi V1st,
That's kind of you to ask, man. However, I'm content with the
decision I've made to forfeit and I think it's the correct thing to
do under the circumstances.
Be well, and I'll see you in the MA.
Regards, Odd
-
Hey WT n TC! I'm trying to work out a time w/ Lute at the moment. Anything lookin good for u two?
Also, anyone finish a duel yet?

Weds night after 7pm or thrus or Saturday or Sunday looks good right now......

Aquabat -
Are you still in the tourney? Have another partner? Contact me so we can schedule our match if you're still in.
Leave a personal message for me under "USER CP" or make contact here please.
-
Anybody know what the first round winners are? Would like an update if possible or revised latter.

Sorry, been away a few days. I am still in, just let me know.

Hmm..........guess this whole Summer of 2006 2 vs 2 AH tourny has fallen by the wayside............
not any confirmation from our opponets, no one else has posted if they have dueled yet or not, and my wingman has not been seen since forever when( over a week no word )........
and this was 1 or 2 pages back down the list........
is this thing gonna happen or not?
-
Lord Redhawk & Iceman24
VS
Sled & Tracerx
Is tomorrow night (monday night), will post results right after the match.
:)
-
AK's are waiting for the outcome of:
Lord Redhawk & Iceman24
VS
Sled & Tracerx
Good luck guys!!
Anyone else in the Second round yet except for Dogg & myself?
-
I'd have participated in this too. Oh well, maybe next time.
-
wow, i just opened this thread. I want in for the next one.
-
ClevMan and Lambo v. Raptor and SOLAS (1st Round) is being rescheduled due to a prior scheduling conflict. We will post the results as soon as they are available.
-
Sled and Tracerx survive and advance.
<> to Redhawk and Iceman, two great pilots and two really nice guys.:)
Sketch and Dogg, we will be in contact, after my hands stop sweating.:lol
:aok
-
CC Sled!
Doog and I will be around
Maybe this weekend sometime??
-
Redhawk and Iceman. That was good fun last night. I think the first match was the difference. Had you won the P51's, it likely would have gone your way since after that, the side that had plane choice won each fight. There are not many ways to safely get the blood pumping like that in real life.
-
You never know Tracerx you guys were flying together very well, all 5 engagements we had were very good. I actually had allot of fun in that pony fight with the pilot wound from the very beginning trying to dodge you two lol Ya'll did a great job of covering eachother and not rushing your shots. That was allot of fun, can't wait to do it again
-

LOL Iceman, we were just trying to stay away from your guns!! Our technique was, whoever screams the loudest for help gets the cover from the wingman. I thought we were going to win that Niki fight, but you hit Sled from a long ways out, hanging on your prop. That was a great shot. I almost never hit shots like that. Fun fights.
-
yeah I took a BIG gamble on that shot on Sled, he stalled a split second before I did and that put me at about D800 and right as I was stalling I opened fire, if he coulda hung it for another 1/2 second I would have been in a nasty stall and in allot of trouble. I was getting really scared there for a second, if your gonna try and do that you HAVE to make the shot count, and thats what put me in big trouble in the 109G14, I blew all my E at the merge to try and make a quick turn around shot and ya'll shot past and I missed as we all went vertical, I knew once yall were past D400 I wasn't gonna get a shot so I went nose down and tried to get ready to deck fight ya'll.... anyways lots of fun guys
glad it went 5 rounds, I wouldn't have had it any other way
-
The Pony round was the funnest I think, even though we lost, I had allot of fun dodging the 2 of ya'll and trying to stay alive... Sled's P51 was indestructable LOL, him and I went round in round for a long time in a rolling scissors, I bet I put about 200 rounds into his plane and didn't even take a part off LOL

:lol Yeah that was CRAZY!, I think that was the first time that I lost 4 of my 6 guns to damage.
Well, sometimes it is better to be lucky than good.;)
Nice flying to ya both.
-
Biggles or Croduh
look us up in MA to set up our Duel (Cooley~Jimbeam)
we can arrange a time and day asap
-
Sketch and Dogg
Can you guys do this Friday night after FSO? I am pretty sure Tracer can.
That works great for me.
looking forward to it

Oh comm'on Tracer, you know I do it everyday!! (real life that is):lol
-
I know I can but sketch I don't think can. He lives in italy and that be like 5 am or later for him. He be in bed,lol.
-
What about before it? I would be midway through my Friday night run and could go to the DA. I get in the MA around 10pm on fridays, so around 4pm est. Am on till around 2-3am, so 8-9pm est. Hopefully that will give you guys somewhat of a time frame....
If we need to do it earlier we can, just let me know.... I will tell the wifey that i have a 'Top Secret Meeting'!! :noid
Let me know...

I should have added "Safely".
:D
Sketch, I am on Pacific US time, and Sled is an hour earlier on Alaska time. That means 8-9pm is 5-6pm and 4-5pm for me and Sled respectively. If Sled can be home by 5:00 pm His time, I can be ready at 6:00 but that pushes you to the end of your limits 3:00am I believe.
-
Sketch, in the past, I have found that an early morning Euro time is usually pretty good for us on the Pacific Coast. Sled and I are usually on around 11:00-12:00 our time, which would make your time 9:00 - 10:00 am your time. How are those times for you? You would be the only one with a full night sleep if you don't stay up too late.

:rofl :rofl Not stay up too late!! :rofl :rofl Oh man that is a good one!!!
Tell you what, let me know a time that will work for you guys the best, I can still fly at 3am because the blood will be flowing so I will alright. If we want to do the late-night for you guys // early morning for me, that is cool. I will get with Dogg (or if he pops in here) and let you guys know. Either will work for me... will let you know ASAP... :aok
Sketch
-
Sketch and Dogg,
Lets see if we can do it next week on a weekday, in the evening (west coast time). that would work best for me.
It sounds like we may be waiting for some of the others teams to catch up.
:)
-
That is okay with me Sled. I will be working 12hour shifts for the next 2 weeks, not sure if it will be weekends included but even then I will be home at night and will be able to do it. There are alot of teams behind us isn't there?
ALL: Who else has finished thier first round??

Scetch, Tracer and I are looking to do this in the evening west cost time (USA). which would be morning for you, somewhere around 7am your time.
Is that workable? We could also do 8am, 6am, 9am, 5am, all these are your time, in the morning.
all this work for you dogg?
-
I usually on eveyday around 8pm- 11pm est.

8 or 9 would work good for me....
Or if I stayed on late enough on Friday which I could do til around 4 or so as well. I know Dogg is getting in the skies around then and having about 30 pelts under his belt already. :D
Let me know, either will work for me... it is easier for me to 'schedual' rather than go around the states timezones..... Let me know...
Better yet, just set your clocks ahead and we will be good!!! :rofl
-
Dogg, Sled & Tracer,
I have to work on Saturday, not sur eof the times yet but I willmore later in the week. Stupid military planning.... :rolleyes:
Hopefully I will ba able to hook up with you guys and we will get it down.
Soon though.... soon..... :aok
-
I know that Sketch and Dogg, and Tracer and myself, are ready to go. has anyone else finished their first round?
Is this a dead event?
Poo you still with us?
-
Im starting to think this is a dead event me and kazaa been looking for baitbug or bugsbunny but we couldnt find either one so we just gave up on trying to find them. If baitbug or bugs sees this messgae please PM me or Kazaa.
-
im still with it sled, sorry, just got back from holiday, my only problem is that my partner and his replacement have dropped out...
i think the real problem is getting everyone together :(
-
It would be cool to bet perks.
You bet a 262, if you win you vulch the losers in 262s, if you lose you get vulched.
