During Koth today I got a lil worked up over some stuff that I shouldn't have. My apologies to those time I spoiled with my bitterness.
-
Bearkats? I didn't witness anything bad.
told ya I what I thought, didn't I? you did what you had to do to win that round if this is what you are referencing. don't let people get to you.......
~S~
-
What I saw Friday wasn't much different than other KOTHs.
While the apology is accepted it isn't really needed.
-
What happened?:noid
-
was it over that SkyRock cheating all the koth players with his undeniable 3rd win with no fuel and a squadmember cutting throttle so he could close in on and shoot down?
This was my 1st koth, I got there late noone told me iwhen it started in the MWA or LWA they said to go to the event arena
I got to play 1 round, daGhost said head ons was not very well liked and people frown on it but it was valid. So i began my 1st koth flight. fuzeman told me to turn, he was already fighting another player. so I turned and was in with 3 others. fuzeman, A8thumper and A8hunter. those two A8 guys were winging with no hiding it. I thought the rules said you could not wing? they flew by each other 3 or 4 times and each time pulled nose away. only once did one of them act as if he was firing on his squadmate. what a shame to not play by the rules.
Then a supposedly well known das muppet member, Scot12B, comes in and intial merge flat out headons, I was told the best fly in koth, he clearly is not one of the best, in my view. when I read all the threads and look at the top squads the das muppets are always at the top, is this how they got there?
Then Scot12B and his das muppet squadmate SkyRock end up being the last two flying. Skyrock runs out of fuel. Scot12B who has fuel slows up and flys right infront of a slow out of gas SkyRock letting SkyRock close on him and shoots ScotB12 down for SkyRock's 3rd and final win to supposedly win koth.
what a crock. i am glad the players in the AvA do not play like this!
them das buttmunchers and that skypebble talk alot of trash, suppose to have the best fighter pilots yet cheat in an AH Event. I hope this is not the norm in Aces High. I will not stick around if it is.
someone said in the koth that "well, I guess Skyrock owns us all" well looks like SkyRock got owned by his own misguiding and cheated everyone that played.
SkyRock should be banned from the event or at least revoke his win and give it to someone else. and the A8 gang that was winging should also be reprimanded for their actions.
I know I am just a noob, but I am not new to etiquette and online flight sims
I have watched my film at least 10 times in shcok n awe over how the results came about with the two winging and the final result.

If you think something is wrong or someone did not play by the tournament rules....... then you should send the CM's the film for justification.
you being new to the boards, here's a tip! debating is ok, best not call others cheaters, HTC does not like that word......
I hope what you said is not how FriKoth ended, hate to imagine it ( would like to see the film myself if u could email it to me )

KOTH is an event where the CM running it usually tries to fly, if he can and I did Friday.
Even when the CM does not fly he only has 2 eyes and can not see everything. I know mine are not Marty Feldman eyes and are usually looking at the same thing.
KOTH is also an event that runs smoothly when everyone acts like a CM and points out things that seem fishy if the CM does not catch it.
Usually this helps the CM and keeps everyone honest. There have been KOTHs where I had to stop flying just to keep an eye on things. I'd rather have a clean event than fly in a dirty one.
If you have film please send it to me, fuzeman at hitechcreations dot com.
We should all try to maintain the highest KOTH standards and if someone isn't they are not welcome.
KOTH is also an event that runs best if we do not have to make a rule for every big or little thing that can crop up and we all fly with honor regarding the rules.
I did mention 'SkyRock owns us all' but that was an offhand remark about this AHBoard and stuff posted there.
I will be disappointed if the event was tainted enough for you to quit flying in them Mighty01. People with your attitude toward KOTH are what we need in the event.
I would tone down the cheating talk however and put it more into the bending of the rules catagory. If that happened its my fault as the hosting CM.

Funny how your perception is diffrerent from mine after watching the film from another person.
Sorry but this is just an immature rant

i am sorry sir. i just did not agree with the bending of the rules. i have emailed you the film from how i came to conclusion of my perception of viewing my film.
thank you fuzeman for taking the time and having concern to run a legitimate koth game. if i am wrong then i will apologize in advance. but i have no doubt that my film will tell it any other way then what i have already said.

Dude, I told you to let it go, peeps trying to get under your skin. Just let that stuff roll off. It affected you and that is where you have to do better. You did nothing wrong, besides a few slips on the CC buffer, lol. Heck, I cursed, I apologized and moved on. There are some, who will always "milk" the outer edges of the rules, they catch a little heck about it, and if they are not stand up peeps, they usually disappear after awhile. You know the rules, I saw you break no rules, so why worry about it. :aok

I have "concerns" with this.
scot12b, if I might clarify, are you saying you "threw" that last match because you didn't want platano to win?
Skyrock, great win. You had some incredible fights that I watched (especially the one w/ Platano when you was oil/fuel hit and he had alt/e).

Originally posted by scot12b

An attitude like that is not welcome in KOTHs. Either change your attitude or don't bother attending them.
It does make the win slightly less valid and if I was SkyRock I wouldn't want to be handed a win.
Now lets just STOP repling to this thread.
Anymore additions here will be highly frowned upon.

C'mon man I wanted to win just as bad as SK did.... If it were to be a planned victory I wouldnt have shot up SK as bad as I did...I would have left him to fight scot with no damage...

Mighty, I would like you to try and understand, that you did not witness the whole 5 1/2 hours, or however long it was, and are making a judgement on something by what you think you saw. We had 3 squaddies in the KOTH, me, Platano, and Wetrat. I was put out of 5 or 6 rounds to squaddies guns or getting picked while fighting squaddies. Did you happen to see the second to the last round ending??? It was myself, in a smoking, fuel leaking hog, and on the deck(basically) and in comes Bi-Polar, with a ton of E. On range I told him, come on in, I'll give you my 6, just fight me!! He came in and fought, he didn't BnZ me until my fuel or eng quit, like he could have legally done! I ended up getting him to overshoot, and he pulled hard right in front of me and leveled out. Then I heard him say, "I Fing blacked out"! Now if I go back and get film, I bet that looked like he was giving it to me. I couldn't hit him for the oil on my screen but when he come out of blackout he pulled up and to the left, and I got him. My eng died right then! It is not out of the ordinary for rounds to end , even with burning planes winning. You obviously don't know this! I had no idea Scot12b was even in the arena when his ICON showed up as the last plane left with me. (Mind you, I had just gotten the H311 shot out of me by.....who.....a squaddie during a 10 minute slugfest to the death and we were both.......Wabbits!) I told Scott on range, to fight me because I have low fuel and almost no oil left. He could have BnZ'd me until my eng died. (and that would have been purely within the rules) I'm sure you are saying to yourself, why not ensure the win with timidity?? Because some of us, choose not to!!!!!!! He chose to fight me and make it quick, exactly the same decision as BiPolar in the last round and exactly the same conditions. If you look at the film, you will see I was spraying and praying during every head on pass we made. He was actually laughing outloud calling me a HO B**ch. He had cut so much throttle, that he couldnt get out of my gun range when he leveled to extend on the deck, so I got him. He said after his last turn, dude you Fing got me! He was laughing about it and that is the way we are. We fight each other in my squad and even have large ego's and h3llacious rivalries (cough) wetrat vs SkyRock (cough). You do not know us and are wayy out of line to come in here and accuse us of cheating. By the way, you do know I was one of the last two on 6 occasions yesterday, right???
Now, to your accusations about the A8 guys. Again, you are wayyy out of line. I fought several of those guys in several rounds yesterday. They were fighting the closest folks to them and were fighting with honor, and dignity. I actually was put out of a round while on the 6 of, I think it was A8Thumper, because I accidentally hit the water in a luftberry. Those guys, when I was around them, and I fought at least one of them on four or five different rounds yesterday, at no time were winging or even close to look like winging. Maybe because you haven't done KOTH's, you don't understand that fights are unpredictable and sometimes you end up fighting near, or close to, or even 1 vs 1 with a squaddie. That is how it goes.
I am going to tell you what happened to me yesterday, with a squaddie. It ws during the FM2 round and we had 3 squaddies on, myself , Platano, and wetrat. I one my first engagement and was coming up on 3 folks fighting each other. Bipolar was on the deck and in the process of killing someone and low and behold, who was the guy with alt, cherry picking them...????? Rat, my squaddie. I told him on red text, srry bud but you got to go first, and made my AoA on him. He then, right at that moment, types, "He11, kill the other guy first" which is against the rules, even though it is my choice of who I want to kill, you can't have an agreement between you and any other player or it is winging(which is against the rules). So, while I digested why he typed that,(knowing Rat does not cheat nor does he have to) he flipped on my 6 200 out and start blasting away.( I had been sucker whipped at the art of getting into someone's head, not much different than BearKats getting whipped yesterday by letting peeps get into his head) I instantly rolled him and we had the most intense rolling scissors I have ever been in while flying an FM2. I finally got on his 6 only to be blasted out of the sky by BiPolar who had gained E and followed us. When he saw me go boom, the red text buffer read, "hahahahahahahahahaha". Now is that squaddies helping squaddies????
You do not know me or my squaddies and do not know the rivalry we have against each other. We are a squad that has many "elite"(lol) fighter jocks in it and many of us have enormous egos(cough) SkyRock<--owns (cough). I aint giving nobody, especially my squaddies, any breaks when it comes to owning them.
I think you owe my squad and the A8 squad a very sincere apology. I, as an individual, don't need an apology from you because I know you are only doing this out of a lack of knowlege, but it would be nice of you!
Mark
PS: I didn't intend for this to turn out a small novel, but it did! :D

I believe you owe scott an apology there fuze

SkyRock, Sir, I do not know you personally and I see you always talking how you own everyone and you pound on your chest as if you was tarzan king of the jungle. I do not feel I owe anyone an apology except for the Koth participants and the Koth CM Staff Members. I apologize to them for bring this tainted affair to the Koth Boards and not to the Koth CM Staff in private.
You might think I look new to you, Sir, but do not let that fresh coat of dupont glossy paint fool you. I am no spring chicken! I think it would be best to drop this whole thread and wait til next weekend Saturday Koth. and I thought talking to others in the game was also against the rules on squad text or other private channels while still flying in the round. I see where both you and wetrat seemed to be communicating in private about maybe attacking others first. I know this can not be with in the guidelines of the game. looks like you muppets are backpedaling now. Do any of you have proof to say otherwise. or are all you muppets gonna keep tagteaming. and SkyRock you was not at my fight with fuzeman and the other two players. so you can not say what happened unless u was watching it unfold.
all other koth players and koth cm staff members, please accept my apology for posting this matter here. I am done posting to this thread, again my apologies fuzeman, Sir.

lol

Too funny, a bunch of drunk Muppets planning anything. :rofl
P.S. Love your shade BTW.
-
OK, pay attention please.
Lets put an end to this conversation and the direction it is going.
The KOTH CMs will discuss this and give you a response.
If you were not there your opinion doesn't matter and you should stay out of the conversation.

the guy has a total posts of 4 fuzeman.

What do you not understand about the last post of mine?
And just so you don't post a response to that, it is a rhetorical question that does not need to be replied to.
Additionally I don't remember you being at FriKOTH so you have no reason to be in this conversation.

Hay you were quick to jump on me! Lock this post .Koth is awesome and should not be drop to this level , but you should all so look at the players and under stand that a guy with 4 total post is trying to start chit! O and thank `s for not saying 1 Scott can you clear up your reply I do not get it, Not call me a cheater or my squad mate. Or 2 replying and saying sorry dude I miss under stood it man. I have been playing AH for 4 years now sense 03 right after I got back from Iraq the first time. I have never in all my days of playing this game been more insulted or Poed off. I go out of my way to be a gentleman and say
. I have never in my years playing got on the board and trash talk someone or call them a cheater and then have the gall to call their squad one . Sorry if guys that have known me for a while come to my defense. Fuzeman I have no problem with you or Koth and thank you for hosting it but please sir, do jump in defense of a guy who wants nothing more to start watermelon Thank you Ps: Thank you Lute for asking to clear up my post sir I do not have that many post most on thesquad forums sir. I am learning to be a lot more clear in what I say on the boards! Thank for not jumping to conclusiveness sir <>

This is not my playground......but think about this for a minute...
mighty was wrong in saying or calling someone cheaters/cheating. however he has offered up a film and went as far as to saying he was sorry and changed it to bending the rules.......then he went further, by offering an apology if he was determined wrong...he offered this gesture before anyone asked of it......before everyone started chiming in about the matter....
now if he is new or if he is shades does not really matter I do not think.......reason being from my above post......
He only called out 2 of you to begin with, he did not say anything about Platano, wETRAT, or any other muppet.......not until someone continued to offer enlightenment did he mention wETRAT and he did not acuse anyone then he hinted at it, but he said maybe they were....... (edit: he did flame the muppets originally my bad )
so if you was new to Aces High, and posted your 1st post in another forum thanking people who had helped you understand the arena
game play( <--guessing here by reading his 1st post)...........
how would you react to everybody against you, and you only have you to defend yourself???? he did offer film and he did offer an apology.....
and depending on how you read it.....he did apologize to everyone except 4 people.......
wether he is under shades or wether he is new, we all have been at the 4 post count before.......not one bad thing had been said about him until this thread......
just think about it for a minute or 2.......then go drink ya a couple shots of Patron :D
btw....fun fights last night
~S~ KOTHers ( not picking any side , am looking at it openminded )

Like Fuzeman said, We Koth CM's are looking into this matter and needs no further dicussion here. I will not tolerate this kind of stuff during satkoth so be warned. If u guys insist on talking about this don't bother to show up for satkoth.

The matter is all set! I have spoken to the parties involved. It got out of control! Part of that is my fault to. Close this and move on their are no hard feelings with any of the people involved It has been dealt with through Pm.
Thank you. It was Koth like Da or MA things get heated guys trying their hart out
and well watermelon gets heated. Sucks it went this way but it has been dealt with. Glad to see it was handled on a one, one even if it took a day hay we are good now. <> to all hope to be able to play the next round of koth and get back to having fun we go to upset over a simple misunder standing. I can see the points of all people involved. We talked and we all see the light enough said:)

Maybe this wont get Skuzzified after all.
The CMs are still talking this out and will put out a response.
I will all parties involved and I agree, it did get a little heated.
Situations like this my sense of humor goes out the door and I'll apologize for that.
Of course when do I ever have a sense of humor??

Mighty, I do apologize for being so quick to "newb" you out, seems I have learned that no other channels are to be communicated on during KOTH, this was not ever a rule in any earlier KOTH's that I was a part of and if it was, I was unaware! So I apologize for implying that you knew nothing when maybe I had some learning to do!

Several issues cropped up during FriKOTH of June 8th. These issues pertained to the atitude cap, not taking obvious shots at squadmates during an engagement, intra-squad communications during a round of fighting and to a small degree the way a fight is fought.
1) The altitude cap of 6k feet. We do have a rule saying you must not go above 6,000' during the engagement. If you break 6k before the **FIGHT IS ON** call we allow you to get under it before we start the fight. However once that fight is started anytime you know you broke 6k you should end flight immediately and disqualify yourself. We have many people that do DQ themselves for that reason. You should be monitoring your altimeter to make sure you do not go above it. We had a few people break 6k on June 8th and they kept flying. One broke it by almost 4k and one was just barely over 6k. We were inclined to forgive the latter but we notified both they had broken it. After all, if you break it by a little or alot, in the end you still broke it. If you film a flight the display at the right listing names, plane type and altitude you will notice the altitude will not be accurately listed. For future reference if that display reads 6.1k you are in violation of the 6k rule and will be considered a DQ for that round. It technically changes from 6.0k to 6.1k at roughly 6,050 feet of altitude but remember, once you hit 6,001 feet the strong updraft will catch you and shoot you up rather quickly. You should remember this if you like to cruise close to the 6k alt cap. You should also monitor your altimeter extra carefully if you do cruise near the 6k cap. If there is any question of a KOTHer breaking altitude he will be required to send in a film to prove he was under it. If you have no film you do not have proof and will be considered to have broken the 6k cap.
2) Not shooting at squadmates during an engagement. We witnessed during engagements squadmates not taking obvious gun shots at other squadmates. We mention when going over the rules that is considered winging and is against the rules. You should fight like every target is ripe if it passes infront of your plane and you have a gun solution on that target. Ideally we would set icons to plane type only so you would not know the gameIDs of any targets but the game settings do not allow this. You should fight every target like you do not know who it is and take a shot if you have a gun solution.
3) Intrasquad communications during a round. Any private communications during a round relating in any manner to the ongoing fight are prohibited and are considered winging also, even if said in a humerous fashion. If you have anything to say it should be said or typed in public remembering that KOTH is not a chatroom and you should not try to distract other players with random chitchat. Another thing to remember is this, if one squadmate talks in private to another he gets them both in trouble. If you have a squadmate talking privately you should tell him to stop in the open on country or on 101. Ideally we would have only three radios working, one for CMs to use for event related broadcasts, one for people to use after the fight while waiting for the next round or watching ongoing fights, and one for public conversations which of course should be kept to a minimum so players still fighting would not be distracted.
4) The way a fight is fought. Whether you are aggressive or passive in your fighting style you should be flying and fighting to win the round and ultimately KOTH. This means not intentionally giving up an obvious advantage to fight on equal terms.
We will ask all KOTHers to film their fights. At any time a KOTH CM may ask you to send your film in if there is any question regarding the rules. It is all of our duty to keep an eye on things and keep the event squeaky clean as it's impossible for the hosting CM to watch everything thats going on. It's also your duty to point out anything you think is in violation of the rules whether it's obvious or not. Anyone who wins a KOTH surely wants to win on the up-and-up and not have their win tainted in any way, shape or form.
KOTH CMs also like to fly in the event and any additional eyes are appreciated to keep us all honest.
Addition- There is no real need for squads in KOTH. We might possibly require everyone be out of uniform and no squads be listed on the roster.
