Title: Is there a 2nd Snailman?
Post by: Kitt18 on December 03, 2008, 04:09:49 AM
Before I begin with my question, I need to make one thing absolutely clear to anyone who reads this post. I have only been playing for about 6 months. During my short time, I've learned who the "big" names are. Whether it is the arenas or here on the BBs. Anyone who has flown with me will tell you, that I do not trash talk, whine or complain, I fly as clean as possible at all times, to respect the "rules of engagement" so to speak. That being said, please note that this is in NO WAY a shade or cheat accusation.

I have the utmost respect for Lusche <Snailman>. I have never had the opportunity to fly with him on a regular basis, but I do make it a point to read his posts and record any furballs/sorties I may see him involed in, too study ACM.
 
That being said I need to ask this simple question. Is someone flying using his name, or a subtle variation thereof. The reason I ask is that I've seen his name recently in the EW arena, and his flying techniques and maneuvers seem less than superior. My other cause for doubt is this, I asked, Snailman, a question regarding how long it takes for HTC to approve noseart. The response I received was "I dont know, I've never tried such a thing".

Again I need too stress, I mean no disrespect towards Snailman, I am just curious.

 :salute

There can be only 1 (think usernames are unique and you cant have 2 of the same name ingame - that said, I could well be wrong  :D)

There can be only one Snailman. But whos to say his kid or friend wasn't behind the yoke for a sortie or two? Lusche is one of the most respected and knowledgeable guys in the game but I have yet to hear him brag about his acm skills. And I'm sure he doesn't know EVERYTHING about the game. Or maybe he just gets tired of answering peoples questions all the time.
Lusche has my utmost respect. He is a gentleman in a game that has few. Calling him out on these boards is uncalled for. :mad:

a) It seems you had simply overestimated my flying skill in the past. Never been a superior cartoon pilot, though I usually can hold my own. Welcome to the real Snailman who does dumb moves and get's shot down!


b) I'm really wondering what seemed od with that answer to you. I know how to make nose art and about the approval process, but never having done this (and never having been in any squad) I have really no experience how quickly HTC does approve or disapprove (wich certainly can vary much depending on their workload)

Dang.. Didn't think of that easy excuse. Now it's too late to use it  :(

Well... some people say 1 member squads aren't really squads. I tend to share that point of view ;)

Actually the only reason to do this stuff is to protect me from those annoying squad invite popups.  :furious

I fully agree, I tried to make it clear. I am not calling him out on any level. I would not do that.
I was just concerned that someone used a variation of his callsign. And may cause problems for him.

I sincerley apologize for any misunderstanding.


 :salute and much respect to you Lusche. As I said before, just curious and concerned.

Oh come on Snaily, I've seen you fly, it was not that bad!  Was a whole lot better than I fly that's for dang sure. :)
Now follow me, I know how to get to the best stupid places to get shot down. :D

The only error was the packaging of the answer, which lead to an unravelling of the AH universe space/time continuum  (The real AH oricle Lusche knows all).  A vauge "it could take couple days" along with a comment about Skuzzy's work load could have avoided this unfortunate catastrophy  :lol

I have seen it where people seem to do anything and ape someone's ID.

Might be someone tried "Snai1man"   or 'Smailman". 

Lotta drain brammage out there.
