Been pondering this question for quite a while about who represents America the best on this game.
If I had to choose one person it would have to be M00t. I don't know what it is, but he is just so much more American than I am. His passion for ingenuity and insight into almost every topic is unparalleled. His use of strategery and mastery of the airplane in our virtual skies are unheard of.
Who are some of your American hero's of this game?
:salute M00t
-
i am the most Southern American you can get .. any more southern and i'd be cuban!
-
HUH? :huh
I like to think of us more as a Global Community rather than which country we are from.
If you were to ask which German best represents Germany, Id have to say Harp00n. The guy kicks ARSE :rock
If you were to ask me which Portuguese player represents Protugal the best Id have to say Portugal. Ive learned so many new cuss words from him :rofl
But I agree with your choice of M00t. I think my K/D ratio with him is .000000001

You're kidding right?
Well. Just in case you're not then I would have to nominate Heater!!!

I have nothing against Moot, he 's good at the game, presents himself as an intelligent and articulate person on the boards, as well as showing he has class, but why would that make him more "american" than anyone else? An american hero would be Washington, Lincoln, Kennedy even.
Now to nominate Moot as one of the better all around players of the game, well that would make a bit more sense.

I knew it, TwentyFo is m00ts shade! :noid :P

As a non-American, I am a little confused on this question.....could you please tell me what are the features by which one is more american than another?? Seriously.

Agreed. M00t's a class act, but why would that make him more "American?". Lusche is right up there with him, displaying a lot of the same qualities. Does that make Lusche more "American" as well? :confused:

Who has the most number of guns. :aok

The OP is abnormal. The irony is that M00t is not American.

I'd kinda suspected that. Where exactly does M00t hail from?

I guess I can brag. Everything's paid for. We take car of our own. I'd rather be humble than be owned by the bank. That's American enough for me.

Kudo's, I salute your character thndregg :salute, but that's increasingly becoming the "old" America. Sadly, too many american's today are clueless, superficial, self-absorbed, and up to their necks in debt. On the bright side, you won't find many of them on farms, so I envy you there. :)

I would link to the latest ridiculously bad poop stirring thread that 24 has started trying to bring me into his numbskulled forum drama fantasies, but that forum he made that thread in is forbidden here. Suffice to say that 24 has been taking a constant beating on pretty much everything from in-game fights to political debate to basic wit. So yeah, he has to make threads like this to try and keep up.
As usual though, it's all extra limp and unoriginal and says more about 24 than whoever he's trying to troll.
fwiw I'm made of more or less equal parts of Inca, Venezuelan spaniard, brittany, and indian ocean creole. I grew up in France, Canada, and the American Southwest. Everyone was probably just holding their breath to find out.
I'd say what I think it really means to be American, but that's gonna break rule #14 or 16 or something.

You sir are anti-american. A true american would be in debt up to his eye balls trying to impress people he don't care about. Your also not fat enough. But I personally admire your way of thinking. I too live in a house that's small, not lavish and paid for. My truck is paid for..my daughters car is paid for and I have no credit card debt to speak of. Only thing I owe money on is my Mustang and that was a stupid purchase last fall....but if need be I can pay it off with savings account money. I am not over weight either so I describe myself as anti-american too.

Does that make Lusche more "American" as well? :confused:
Sorry bud...
I'm a fat man with a huge inferiority complex that loves when someone else is taking responsibility and makes all descisions for me. I follow the rules, wear a seatbelt all the time and never cross a road when the red light is on, even as a pedestrian on a lone street at 3 a.m.
I'm as German as one ever can be...
-

Nothing suspicious about it.
He love the ideals that this country was founded on or so I've gathered from reading his posts here and elsewhere. :aok
Whish the same could be said for others. :(

All my family on my dads side are descendants from Jamestown Virginia. They still live there around and in Yorktown and Williamsburg. And my last name is Crockett. My cousins are Smith's. Kin to Capt. John Smith maybe? When I was a kid I lived about a mile from where Pochonhos saved capt.John Smiths head from the block.
I tryed to get written facts about my family tree but during the Civil War Richmond was burned down and many if not all records were destroyed. :frown:

Who has the most number of guns. :aok
well, we sold 2 today, because of te global economical crisis and all.......so we only have 29 shotguns/rifles/carbines left with around 5 or 6 hand guns.....
and if you ever heard me talk in game, you damn sure enough know I ain't from any other place but the Southern portion of the US.........but I must ask? was the question refering to North america, Central america? or South america? because all 3 are Americans in one sense or the other.....
and I laugh at the sterotyping of the word redneck........when people are so far from it's true actual meaning......
I am just a countryboy.........in my 4 wheel drive........ oh yeah....she thinks your Tractor is sexy....rofl........( my neice that is )
EDIT: VansCrewed! you seriously push the limits or are completely dumbfounded by even typing "that word" in your post.............<shakes head> good grief, man!

Ahhh, but you have more command of the English language and spelling than a sad percentage of the native born Americans. That can also be said of a lot of other people. Some of the Finns and Gianlupo come to mind just off the top of my head. I am sure I have read others not even realizing they are from another country.
Been pondering this question for quite a while about who represents America the best on this game.
No one. What you have is people playing a video game about killing other people with a WWII weapons set. You have people who participate on channel 200 and a lot of people who don't. You have people who participate on the BBS and a lot who don't. Who would be your representative? One whose name pops up a lot on 200 and the BBS? The high score guys? The quiet guys or the blabbermouths? The guys running down other people or those that say nothing. Whats your criteria?
Representative to which body?

The OP, while not being terribly bright, has raised an interesting question- how exactly DOES one be American in Aces High?
If I may, ladies and gentlemen: a quick primer:
How To Be American In Aces High:
1. Never fly anything with less then 2,000 horsepower.
2. Fly the P-47. Always take the eight gun option, and always go charging around balls-out.
3. Scream "EAT BURNING AMERICAN FREEDOM" into the voice comms every time an enemy vaporizes under the mighty hammer of your eight .50s.
4. Score a kill in a C-47. Deliberately.
5. Every time you engage War Emergency Power, you must bellow "I HAVE THE POWER!." Into comms, preferably. Alternately you may roar "THIS THUNDERBOLT OF MINE GLOWS WITH AN AWESOME POWER!" or even "My horsepower is OVER NINE THOUSAND!" if you suspect that a lot of fifteen year old Spitfire dweebs are in the arena that day.
6. If you land with a fully intact propeller and/or wings, you did not expend all of your ammunition.
7. Torpedo boats have only one speed: Ramming Speed. Coerce friends and family into keeping a suitable beat on tomtom drums as needed.
8. Spitfires are dainty little ships that have given the British a false sense of superiority as regards the American aircraft. Correct this foolish error at every oppertunity. The Typhoon and Tempest, however, are tolerable.
9. Never shoot a 'chute, unless they bailed from a Russian fighter. Russians are always spies. No exceptions.
10. Always vulch anything with a meatball on the wings, and immediately say on the comms "how do YOU like it!"
11. Do the above in a P-40. (This is an exception to rule #1.)
12. Never execute a bombing run in anything other then a B-17 at under five thousand feet. Make a point of crashing on the AAA gun that shoots you down. Alternately, crash into the Spitfire or La-7 that just spawned at the end of the runway to intercept you.
13. Always ask Tiger drivers why they're driving on the wrong side of the road. Do this after you track them for extra points.
14. The proper place to be in a furball on the deck is directly underneath it in an Ostwind.
There are more ways to be American in Aces High, but this should be a good introduction. Perhaps others have further information to add...
-
and I laugh at the sterotyping of the word redneck........when people are so far from it's true actual meaning......
TC your right, you sound darn American to me :)
-

:rofl I love killing spit pilots in my P51, I Always go for the "dainty" wings, they snap ever so easy, with a solid burst of all american 50 cal.
The germans were right when they called it a toy plane. It only becomes a monster when a true Brit flies it balls to the wall and his stiff upper lip never backs down for one second, until the enemy plane is chewwing on some painful hispano cannon.

Lew's a socialist tutu wearer ,if you don't believe me ask my dad . ;) He only has 2 saving graces . He makes the best GD lasagna EVER ! , and he has a cool dog . ;) Now I shall run back to my palatial estate i am in debt for the rest of my life for and dodge the constant call of credit collectors while I fly off into cartoon heaven .

:O HERESY!
Are you kidding me??? An American can't do the best lasagne!!!!!!!!! Come here, eat my mother's, and then we will talk about that!
-
Now I won't be going to Italy anytime soon . How ever I am willing to consider some sent to me . Or if that is too much trouble as hlblys are all illiterate and I would probably destroy some crucial nuance with botched baking instructions . I am willing at great personal inconvenience and hardship to accept a round trip , or 1 way if I can move in with you or your ma , ticket to come and give her a try . While I am unwilling to dismiss out of hand the power of mamas home cookin , having seen many a victim succumb to the overpowering and withering effects of my own mommas chow . I must say it would have to be "the bestest bestest ever" to whomp Silats efforts . <BG> A fair and impartial judgement will be posted here , unless an unfair and biased one is purchased by a generous contribution to my favorite charity TaHTRIIBWGTAWF<teaching a hlbly to read is impossible but we gotta try any way fund> .

Ok... first: what does hlbly stand for? Hillbilly?
Second... this might sound a bit offending.....

yep its for hillbilly .
Second... this might sound a bit offending.....
and you don't really wanna tell an Italian you're gonna give his mother a try!!!!! :noid
OK guess I didn't state this well . I meant her lasagna . Obviously you don't have hlblys in Italy ,as you would know then that she isn't closely related enough to give the other possibility a second thought ;)
As for Salad's lasagna.... I'll send you mine (well, my mother's!), you send me his, and we'll see!
Alas the secretive monster will not even give me a recipe so i imagine an example would be out of the question as he knows I would have it analysed .
What no reply to my selfless offer of going over to try it ? <the lasagna>

6 pages of satisfaction to 24 the jello-like troll.
Amazing: despite the advent of the plethora of gaming systems, Aces High and numerous treatments to increase both penile length and stamina, he continues to derive all stimulation from pudding soft posts on an aircraft BBS.
Fantastic. You've reached your apex, toolbox.
(You know where to continue this once it gets girly-squelched. It's inevitable) ;)

Whatever, what I was hoping to get out of this thread was some of the sacrifices and/or feats some of our fellow American's have gone through to get where they are. I just thought it would good for the community to hear some of their stories.

Right, unlike the half dozen other instances of these threads by you, which you admitted yourself were 100% trolls.

12. Never execute a bombing run in anything other then a B-17 at under five thousand feet. Make a point of crashing on the AAA gun that shoots you down. Alternately, crash into the Spitfire or La-7 that just spawned at the end of the runway to intercept you.
13. Always ask Tiger drivers why they're driving on the wrong side of the road. Do this after you track them for extra points.
14. The proper place to be in a furball on the deck is directly underneath it in an Ostwind.
There are more ways to be American in Aces High, but this should be a good introduction. Perhaps others have further information to add...
I like the way think think..I'm gonna be watching you :aok(http://tbn2.google.com/images?q=tbn:73uif7_Z5KcXeM:http://api.ning.com/files/JwKcIAYSps3IL4uKpZ8X7GgsbAY78dih-GS4qnkLsgyq5QG2WslZDMdNlyKlIrhXbzsJu2JpJ2qy*X46pyFIKKBsLYyUiHT*/samkinison.jpg)

I'm confused, is Austria the country that was invaded by Hitler and then was used to jail English prisoners?
You've used this joke before and you just used it over at FW. Come on.

You are kidding right? If not, perhaps you should revisit your school and repeat your classes in history! Just in case you can't find it, Hitler was born in Branau, Austria.
All the Best...

On March 13, 1938, Germany took over Austria (termed the Anschluss) - a contingeny specifically disallowed in the Versailles Treaty.
I agree, reading your history is always a good thing. ;)

How American is American?
My first ancestor in America stepped foot on Virginia in 1610, as part of the Jamestown relief expedition.
Another ancestor served under Nathaniel Greene during the Revolution.
My great-great grandfather commanded the Bedford Light Artillery, Alexander's Battalion, Longstreet's Corps, Lee's Army of Northern Virginia.
My grandfather served with the 28th Infantry Division and was wounded in the Mouse-Argonne offensive.
My father served in the 307th Field Artillery, 78th Infantry Division. His brother served in the 1st Battalion, 309th of the 78th. The 78th saw extensive combat from December 1944 through the surrender.
I served in the U.S. Navy from June of 1975 through July of 1979, flying search and rescue out of GTMO (HU-16, US-2B, C-118, C-131), and then a flying crew chief on a C-1A. I did two Med cruises on Saratoga.
I'm married, raised a family, have worked very hard for the same aerospace company for 30 years. I drive a Jeep Wrangler, volunteer with the local civic association and coached Little League baseball.
All of that taken into account really means nothing.
I'm no more an American than the Indian immigrant who passed his citizen test and took his oath of citizenship two weeks ago. Being an American isn't about your ancestry, what you've done or who you are. Being an American is about loving this country, believing in what it stands for and being willing to work hard to make a life for you and your family. No pedigree is required.
My regards,
Widewing
