Like a menstrual cycle, or something?

Just a quest for knowledge. Infer what you wish, as I insinuate nothing.

It is possible. Spawn camping + newbie?
In a past GTR killed me about 50 times. :D

Yup, happens all the time. Some guys only care about seeing their name on some meaningless score page. If that's the way they want to play, that's fine with me. But, to me, it shows their character (or lack thereof).

Sometimes it's possible, but in this case it's a well-know shade account being vulched by the player and others in his squad. Seems many people care more about being known for score and rank than for their actual skills.

So you were'nt trying to be #10 overall in EW last camp? It seems to me to be a total lack of charachter to speak about others and the score page when you're no different. :rolleyes:

#10 get's you now on the front page too? :confused:

I didn't say that. Being on the top 50 rank page is as much a meaningless score page as the front page isn't it?
He didn't specify front page nor did I.

You don't really have to try to get into top 50 to end up there.

AH should do away the ranking system. then crap like this wont happen.

If you'd look at my stats, you'd see the majority of my time was in Fighter mode flying a Hurri-1 and my kills were spread out over lots and lots of people. I upped other planes and vehicles as needed to support base capture or defense. That's not really the way to play for rank and score, is it?
I try to fly smart, but don't care if I die or land kills. I'll stay and fight until I'm outta ammo, damaged too much, or low on fuel; even then, it's hard to run away in a Hurri-1. I don't run to my base ack after one or two passes when I see that my opponent might know what he's doing, or wait for help before engaging a single or a pair on cons. I don't milk-run strats or vulch shades and noobs. As a matter of fact, I spent over an hour one night with two new guys - had one fight for over 15 minutes while only pinging him with 3 or 4 .303 rounds at a time so he could spend more than 5 seconds in a dogfight. Most people would have just unleashed 4-cannons from a Hurri-2c for the quick kill to add to their score.
I'd much rather teach someone something (what little I do know) and make them a better pilot - or at least so they have more fun in the game - than just up and kill them in 5 seconds.
Those who know me, know this all to be true. I hold no grudges, but get tired of some of the constant crap being flung between players. I do my best to stay out, but every once in a while I lose patience and have to speak my mind. Even then, it's civil and short-lived. A little smack-talk is all part of the game, but there's a line that I try very hard to not cross. You can't make me mad, and for sure can't make it so I'm so full of rage that I can't fly as I normally would.

It still will.. it's called "perk farming"

Hey, I resemble that remark :D
That's what I'm doing when I'm in an Emil or a 190 A-8, trying to EARN points so I can up a Schwalbe and lawn-dart it :aok

the ranking system is the least of AH problems and is more of an indicator of a larger problem.

Yep.

Which will soon be addressed by taking away the in-depth stats so people can't draw attention to either problem.

Yeah, I agree. Don't get me wrong, I love a good old fashioned witch hunt and have a gold plated torch at the ready for those times. However, the powers that be don't like us turning on the lights to watch the little cockroaches scurry out of the light.
We all know Eaglefart and his merry band of twits like to vulch a shade account and it's also obvious they aren't going to stop despite past witch hunts. In this case it would have been best just to report it to HTC and hopefully something a little more decisive than removing their names from the front page and resetting their scores would happen since that hasn't worked with these 'tards in the past.
ack-ack

I'm perplexed as to how this continues happening. It has an impact on the GV game as these guys can just up tiger after tiger... imo they should be banned from using perk rides. I spose theyll just keep it up though...

Trust me I know since I'm usually there but why are you now trying to deflect the conversation from your first point; that he wasn't on the home page which I never said he was? The original statement I made was 100% true. You misconstrued it. Are you now trying to deflect to save face? Give it up. Just admit you were wrong. It's not a big deal.
ImADot, I'm not accusing you of shade vulching to attain rank/score but you did do everything nessesary to attain a top 10 rank and to do so you most likely did it with intended purpose. You can easily skip things to get into the top 50 but to make top 10 you do have to purposely cover every stat category.
All I was doing was pointing out that if you're going to call the kettle black you'de better not be the pot.

You are really going a strange way lately...

Hmmm, ok...
You didn't say I was shade vulching, true...but you say I play for rank and score.
So if my country wants to take a base and calls out for troops, I shouldn't up a goon to help? (I believe it's scored as bomber).
If someone wants a buff pilot to help take down a town, I shouldn't up a bomber to help?
If someone is attacking a vbase, I shouldn't up a GV to fight?
If I up an F4F to clean up a town after shelling from CV, I shouldn't score it as attack?
Nothing I do, I do for purpose of rank/score. If I did, I'd fly 3 fighter sorties to get my k/d ratio to 12 and then fly the other 190 sorties as attack to preserve the fighter rank. I wouldn't have upped 9 times in a GV the other night to try to defend a vbase by myself while you and a couple other guys tried to take it (which you finally did).
Say what you want; I don't game the game and seriously don't care what my score is.
Also, this isn't really the place for personal discussions so I'm done commenting.

From the way Skuzzy has answered about these witch hunts I think the problem is more in how people post this up on the BBS. I get the feeling that if people were to simply send the stats in question in an email to him he's still willing to look at people playing fishy.
Maybe we could simply ask him. Most times his responses go along the lines of "this should be handled through email".
