It'd be nice if the members here who have different names in the game than their forum names to post them here just so I can put a Name with a Face... and by Face I mean, Forum Avatar :)
Or if have the same forum name as game name and you want to be cute, you can come up with something funny. Like Steve, you could call yourself Muppet Master Runstang :lol

um hello... my name is JETSOM...and um... I am addicted to a on line combat flight Sim, called ACES HIGH
I just cant help myself, I love killing these red guys,and um...my addiction is so bad, I dream of flying my hurri, and calling out to the wife "check your 6", or as I am driving down the road and I see a boogie pull out in front of me, I immediately check my high 6 before I try to pull a gun solution....

"IMO" being the key word.. :lol You mean.. Like defending glock (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/index.php/topic,252332.msg3109172.html#msg3109172)... or being a lefty (ask around)... or saying the way everyone piled on ST was excessive regardless of whether he was a shade or not (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/index.php/topic,252267.msg3113241.html#msg3113241).

In the last week you have defended, glock, skytiger, and all shade accounters. Anyone in question you defend, you sir, need to get a clue. :aok
P.S. Lemme guess, OJ was innocent wasn't he moot? :rofl
P.P.S. I wasn't trying to get noticed, I was merely introducing myself and setting a precedent when I have to leave in a couple months, a lot of things you write truly are asinine.

Especially when an innocent is publicly decimated by the community to the point they have to terminate thier account because no one will leave them alone, in the game, or on the board.
Yeah, that's a hoot.
That was from the skuzzy.
-
Ziiiiiinnnnnnnnng.
-
Innocent of being a shade? Maybe. But he was guilty of being a self centered attention potato who had his own squad members squelching him when they logged on. So does it really matter?
-

Hell yes it matters. He did nothing except post AAR on a bbs, which is what the bbs is intended for.
As I recall you were the first to hop on the shade bandwagon... Enjoy your crow.

Being the 'first' to hop on a bandwagon is sort of an oxymoron isn't it? <Crunches down on crow> Mmm this stuff is tasty. Just because Scuzzy says he was innocent doesn't mean ANYTHING. Why, because he has a unique IP address? I've lived in at least TEN different cities in the last few years, so IMO that doesn't prove anything. Lets not argue about ST again, but he still could have been a shade, I think he was, but even if he wasn't, he was a little twit. His AAR's were nice to read until you realized he was writing them only to get attention to fulfill whatever <insert psychologist techno blabble here>
I think one reason so many people hopped on the 'shade bandwagon' was because they disliked him so much they WANTED him to be a shade so they could string him up.
-
How about because skuzzy has access to billing records hmmm? I'm sure he changed his name/ used a friends CC or is paying cash just to complete the shade too...right?
As to why he did it... who cares. Why you felt the need to pee on his positive to the community posts says more about you. IMNSHO
-
I didn't piss on his AAR's until his fifth consecutive day of them. Give me a break, ST was a tool.
-
hehe.. and he calls others self-centered attention potatoes.. moving on..

Translation "I lost the argument, lets change the subject" :aok :rock
P.S. Moot, what is your in game name by the way?
Btw Bronk, ST never gave any billing information to HTC, he was clearly in his two week trial period so all Scuzzy had to access his information was his IP address which as I mentioned before is hardly enough evidence to conclude he is not new. Plenty more evidence saying it wasn't his first time flying AH2 as he tried to lead everyone to believe. As LYNX would say "Not saying the bloke is a shade, but he had BEEN HERE BEFORE."
I see. So 4 is the limit for well constructed upbeat AARs? Skuzzy might want to sticky that for the next articulate/enthusiastic noob. :aok
Slippery slopes are silly (Say that 5 times fast ;)), sorry for being one of the first of the majority to have alarm bells and red flags going off.

That was SNA's site wasn't it? Actually I'm fairly certain that wasn't me, this is the first forum ever that I have actively posted in. There was another Grizz running around for a while. I know that because I always used to get PMs asking me "Are you Grizz, from the Hammerheads?"
-
Yes, that was SNA's site. RGR that, Just checking.

Murdr if you look on this site there is a member with the name "Grizz" who posted back in the early 2000's. That is not me and the member I'm sure you are speaking of.
<edit> Looking back down virtual memory lane, The Snakes was my first squad in Relaxed Realism Europe in AW3, SNA was quite a pilot. I still talk to his XO "Snail" on a regular basis.

Translation "I lost the argument, lets change the subject" :aok :rock
Namely, that I defended glock, am a lefty, and was wrong about ST's AARs being unduely hijacked. Even though I didn't defend glock, am not left, and Skuzzy in addition to a number of others you're reaching for support from have said pretty much the same thing I did, which incidently is beside the shade/not shade point. Ok then.
You're not the only one with alarm bells and whatnot, you're the loudest and quickest at posting about it. Welcome to the game.

:confused: You also forgot to mentioned your defense of shade vulchers in your post :aok
Didn't I already address all these points you just wrote about already? Around and round the circle we go...
My point was that you defend everybody (Amsoil,other shade vulchers, ST, glock)
Perhaps you are a high profile defense lawyer for murder suspects? If the glove doesn't fit you must acquit!
P.S. I'm not new to the game, just new to the boards :aok
P.P.S I ask again moot, this is the game name thread, what is your in game name?
-
You're just masken obsessed huh.. Where did I defend shade vulchers and how does that change the fact you're totaly off target and just reaching for any half baked reason to have the last word? Am I confusing you with facts when I point out that I don't defend glock, shade vulchers, ST other than as a poster boy for misguided witch hunts, amsoil (what's he got to do with anything?), or that skuzzy and Murdr, AKAK and a number of others said the same thing that you're calling me out on?
And yeah this is the game name thread, I'm not going to derail it further replying to your nonsensical raving. You said I did X, I point out how I actualy did the exact opposite of X, and then you say I'm the one running around like a headless chicken.
-
I'm not trying to have the last word, I'm just replying to your replies. I don't really want to go through all the threads and nitpick how you defend everyone (maybe I should though), people who read it already know that. Yeah you are right though, ST had a couple supporters. But I wasn't talking about just ST. You defend everybody, but anyways, that's all I'll say, you can have the last word as long as you include your in game name with it. It's like pulling teeth! :lol
-

It seems it would be on you to post the quotes to support your assertions. What I remember of moot's an others postings were warnings of restraint on dogpiling on a new board member before they've actually done something to warrent it. Some of those same posters have been refered to as being part of "the bulletin board bullies". One would think if the so called bullies think something is out of line, that it may not be time to go after a poster yet.

Well I just tried looking for 2 posts I remember in particular that he made, one about glock and another about shade vulching, but I couldn't find them. (There are at least 5 threads they could be in that are all many pages long, locked and buried) Lets just drop it though, sorry for pushing your buttons moot, this all started by me making an innocent comment that snow balled. Moot you usually are the voice trying to calm the mob yes, which is a good thing, but my point was, I never hear you going after anybody that clearly is wrong, like Amsoil. I don't think you even commented in that thread. But I've seen you continuously defending people, that was my point. That is all. :salute
-
So.. You'll agree then.. "It's just a game.. Have fun.." :devil
Game handle's m00t, or moot or muut or mvvt, whichever I'll pick once I get some free time and the joystick working again.

the drama is thick. this thread now reeks of it.

I think a better thread would maybe have included people giving a reason for their in-game id. I really want to know where those zipcode guys get the idea for a bunch of random numbers

I asked, and at least one player said what I expected: the "choose your GameID" request can read like it's asking for an account name, not your 'nickname'. So some players just type in a random number.
I tried to come up with a few different names, and when they were all taken I got impatient and decided it was moot anyway.

Bronk :heart moot, awww how cute :)
We already ended the clash, stop trying to be cute from the sidelines. You quickly got out of it as soon as you realized your "solid rebuttal comment" about HTC having ST's billing info was wrong.

Since your only contribution to this conversation has been making erroneous claims as to why ST wasn't a shade and then ignoring my posts completely discounting your ridiculous points, you resort to calling me a tard :aok 'What's that say about you? IMNSHO'

No....I'm saying Skuzzy's insider knowledge is limited to a unique IP address check. You get new IP addresses when you move, moving is pretty common so that's not really evidence at all. Maybe we can try to drop it again without you trying to get in the last word with an insulting condescending comment?
-
As this thread comes dangerously close to the deep end. I am hoping you people can just sort this out and continue on, Skuzzy has been too busy lately.
Can we give him a break, maybe for a day, maybe two? Thought you would agree, now let's all get along. :D

You don't think Skuzzy has access to account payment data?
Or the numbers of people who call to cancel their accounts?
Or perhaps is the one who might answer the phone from the very angry customer who gives his reason why he is cancelling his account?
I don't think you have thought your comment through.

Did Skytiger pay a dime to HTC? No.
Did Skytiger call HTC? I doubt it (You can delete your account from the main page).
Was Skytiger a thin skinned attention potato who has only himself to blame for what he got? Yes.

Well, from Skuzzy in another thread...
Especially when an innocent is publicly decimated by the community to the point they have to terminate thier account because no one will leave them alone, in the game, or on the board.
Yeah, that's a hoot.
That along with ST's last post, it seems you are sadly mistaken. Though he might have been thin skinned and an attention potato, he wasn't the shade you all hoped he was.
Driving a new guy from the game is just the way vets are supposed to act, right?
-
Klink? but you can call me Colonal. geez I hope thats spelt right? wheres the "r sound come from anyways? blame it on the brits i bet? :rock No im not looking it up for the 100th time.
-
the skytiger thing was really messed up. one thing I've never really understood, is the whole shade hunting mentality. IDC who the hell you are, if you seem eager and willing to learn how to play, that's all that should matter.
-
Well, from Skuzzy in another thread...
That along with ST's last post, it seems you are sadly mistaken. Though he might have been thin skinned and an attention potato, he wasn't the shade you all hoped he was.
At this point, whether ST was 100% a new guy or 100% a shade is pretty much impossible to know(not even Skuzzy can know that with certainty as I pointed out in my previous post). I will admit I jumped the gun in "questioning" him and probably should have just kept my mouth shut but at that point it was never my intention to drive him from the game.
I pose this question though Stang, you are a very bright guy obviously: Don't you find it suspicious that a "newb" would post an AAR on his first day to let us follow his progress as a player? This same "newb" who would go on to show that he is in the 99.99 Percentile of the learning curve for new players? It's just so bloody suspicious for some 'newb' to do this and to be such a good pilot that he wants to illustrate so eloquently in his AARs looking for 'OOs and Ahs' from the community. He already proved he is an attention potato, don't the pieces fit in that he really had played before (whether he was a shade or just someone who had played before) and just wanted the hype? You never see a "newb" post an "AAR" where he has much more reasonable difficulties with the game.
Driving a new guy from the game is just the way vets are supposed to act, right?
No, I think in general vets are very helpful to new players. I remember when I started, players were very willing to help me. I have tried to return the favor by being as helpful as I can to new players also. Whenever there is a question asked on 200 or Country, I try to always answer it for the player.
It was pretty remarkable how much drama SkyTiger caused in ten days though. You could argue that the community lit the match for the drama I suppose, but Skytiger was the one that drenched himself in gasoline.
I hope you see my side of the coin here Stang and I respect your defense of him in what happened. I gotta stick with my gut though on this one.
-
All I'm going to add is this. What we think HTC know and what HTC know are 2 different things.
Unless someone is an HTC shade...... :noid

This same "newb" who would go on to show that he is in the 99.99 Percentile of the learning curve for new players? It's just so bloody suspicious for some 'newb' to do this and to be such a good pilot that he wants to illustrate so eloquently in his AARs looking for 'OOs and Ahs' from the community. He already proved he is an attention potato, don't the pieces fit in that he really had played before (whether he was a shade or just someone who had played before) and just wanted the hype? You never see a "newb" post an "AAR" where he has much more reasonable difficulties with the game.
No, I think in general vets are very helpful to new players. I remember when I started, players were very willing to help me. I have tried to return the favor by being as helpful as I can to new players also. Whenever there is a question asked on 200 or Country, I try to always answer it for the player.
It was pretty remarkable how much drama SkyTiger caused in ten days though. You could argue that the community lit the match for the drama I suppose, but Skytiger was the one that drenched himself in gasoline.
I hope you see my side of the coin here Stang and I respect your defense of him in what happened. I gotta stick with my gut though on this one.
I think some of you guys take this GAME wayyyyyyy toooooo seriuosly !!! To me the whole SK thing was a fun distraction (up untill the "witch hunt") I don't care "who" he/she is. The AAR were well written and fun to read. Was it fictitious? was he a shade? was he trying to pull somethings over? WHO CARES !!!! Its a game and is suppose to be entertaining ! And it was was until the hunt began. Most of you guys are one step away from making this place seem like a "soap opera". "Tune in tomorrow and see if Shawk" really does PWD ! " LOL!!!

Boy, I remember what some of these righteous people were saying when Adonai lost his F-18 certification.

Well, when skuzzy calls him an "innocent," I take the man at his word. And here's why:
Even if he was a shade, when you sign up you have to give your name and address to get an account, and billing info if you wish to maintain the account. I highly doubt someone who was that into the game would not have ponied up and gave his cc info, which would make forging a name almost impossible... that or maybe he paid by money order to cover his "shade"... but I seriously doubt someone would go to those lengths to hide themselves from HTC (unless you're Voss I guess, lol.)
Unless he lied to HTC about his name and info, I have to believe Skuzzy that he was an innocent, meaning he was legit, and was not a vet in shades.
How he handled things was not good though, I grant you that. But don't you think an old vet would know what would fly and what wouldn't on the BBs? He went too far, like hmm lets see, most noobs do when they get hardcore into the game (I can think of 10 examples of guys who cross some kinda line when they actually get decent at flying, a few just from this last tour).
And why did he go too far? Because he thought he'd be accepted and ran with it, and just plain and simple overdid it. What he didn't realize is that the combination of posting with knowledge and being decent from day 1, a lot of people were going to cry shade quicker than the boy who cired wolf. And why? Most can't believe that someone can be good at this game as a total noob. And to that I call total bullpoop. I posted before that if you have flown other sims it's not too difficult to learn the intricacies of another sim quickly because all of the same principles apply. The feel, view system, ballistics, and setup may be different, but an airplane still handles like an airplane. He wasn't some squeaker tard armed with a mouse that sat on the runway on day one of his first day of a flight sim crying about how to take off. He had flown other sims. He actually READ the readme file, all of it, on AH. How many noobs do that?
Is it that hard to believe a guy with previous experience can come here and do well? Think of all the guys who transitioned from AW or WB here. The good sticks from those games came here and from day one were owning people right and left. Again, slightly different feel for the AW guys, but did it stop them? No. If anything this game was easier because of a better FM, ballistics and not the crazy lag in AW where u literally had to guess where the other guy was. So he hadn't flown one of those, sure. But he'd messed around w/ IL2 and flown some other sims like a aerobatic sim. What better to teach maneuveing like a stunt flying sim?
The initial no way reaction by most here smacks mostly of paranoia and jealousy... if I couldn't do it for a few YEARS, no way this guy could do it in a few DAYS. Rubbish. Just because you suck and don't get it doesn't mean someone else can't (this not aimed at you Grizz ;) ). His attention craving posts fueled the flames for these guys, and the thing raged outta control.
And most of the vets who are supposed bullies here were the ones sticking up for him. Moot, AKAK, myself, and others urged restraint... I mean what was the worse that could have happened? If he actually was a shade we woulda handed him so much rope he would have hung himself specatacularly in Adonai like fashion. There was no need to schlack the guy in his first week. But that was only if he was a shade. I'm sure he wasn't. I think Skuzzy was too.

There was proof of Adonai lying, there was no proof that SkyTiger was anymore than what he was saying. That is unless you have concrete evidence that SkyTiger was anyone other than what he was claiming to be. Do you Dick?

You have a very valid argument Stang. There are definitely two ways to look at it. I just have to mention to you again that ST never gave any billing information to HTC. But anyways, he could have easily been new I suppose and a good new stick at that but I think what irked everybody so much was not that he was 'good and new' but that he needed so much attention to go along with it. His AARs were good contributions until you realized he was simply writing them to get recognized for his 'quick grasp' of the game. Then he started smack talking to vets on 200 and making people really scratch their heads. Hell some of his own squad members even squelched him when they logged on because he was so annoying. He could have taken the "shade" question as a compliment and been all smiles about it and people would have let it go. But it really feels like he was trying so hard to convince us he wasn't a shade then gave up because he couldn't convince us. Seems like damming evidence to me he was a shade. Shade failed. People wanted him to be a shade because people just flat out didn't like him. And Stang, he did hang himself with that rope, I really dont think you can blame anybody but maybe his parents for his fragile ego.
And Stang, what about that shade pilot musashi that u2007 has killed like a million times? Didn't the end all say all Emperor Skuzzy say musashi wasn't a shade and cleared him? Glance at those stats again and tell me Skuzzy is correct. :noid

Stang :aok
I totally agree.
There is a group of people who nearly wet their panties because they thought the poor kid ( I do believe he was young ) was a shade. There were a number of folks who rode the kid on the BBS and on 200 like he was a child molestor or something. They accomplished nothing more then ruining the game for someone. Now there's something for a group of "adults" to be proud of.

We have no way of knowing this...unless HTC informs us. That isn't going to happen.

It would be the correct assumption though considering he was a 'new' player and he only played 10 days. Surely he was going to get his two free weeks!

Why, IIRC I ponied up before the end of my 1st week. I am sure that I am not the only player who did.

Well I guess there's no way to know for sure...I doubt he woulda quit though if he had just paid. It's purely speculative though, no reason to go back and forth on something that is impossible to know :lol

I believe Skytiger mentioned in one of his AARs that he had subscribed after a couple of days trying the free trial. Not everyone decides to use the free two weeks.

When I started, HTC was offering an extra 2 weeks for free if you subscribed at the same time you started your two weeks.
