I wish I could be awesome like you. :(

I already started an AvA complain thread.....geeze

Snicker.

Good read :aok
Can't watch the film atm, but I suspect it's a troll.
Nonetheless, good read :aok
-
Well written.
-
Hey! Look at me! Look at me! :x
Wow dawger actually fighting and not running!?! I don't believe it. :eek:
-
Dawger, you are sounding familiar now. Who were you last year.
-
My only question: Why were you at 12 thousand feet, Larry?! :O
-
Yeah... isn't that illegal in the AvA?
When are you people actually finding someone in the AvA? Every time I've checked this week it's at 0 population.
Very funny original post by the way; <S>.
-
Well...if things don't ever work out for you in AH (AvA)...you could always be a writer.... :D
-
Too long and not enough popcorn to repeat!!
I am not worthy (http://home.comcast.net/~micelihouston/film library/Ava fight.ahf)
wow, he finally gets it! Congrats Dawger and welcome to the flock!
we hope to see you there on wednesday night at 9pm EST. Bring friends........
-
My only question: Why were you at 12 thousand feet, Larry?! :O
I take it that it was the only time he ever killed me in a 1v1? I was on a 109G14 with gondies and made the mistake of fighting his fight.
So I make this challenge to you dawger. DA anytime buddy, and your more then welcome to post that film to but I suspect you wont.
-
Oh BTW hope you like it dawger. Karaya would be proud of me. (Please excuse the bad aiming, the 'enemy' was bobbing everywhere and I don't fly that plane enough to know its ballistics.)

I don't know that you fought his fight as much as U just fought a stupid fight. Much more so then I'd have expected based on past interaction with you....especially when you basically had him cornered (in the sense he didn't have E to control the fight).

That's what I used to do when I flew it regularly. "Milk their alt. 500ft pass attempt." The cannons are tricky Larry, they fire very fast and are most definately a PITA to master. Most everyone underestimates the roll rate of the Tony (especially when the Wing tanks are light/empty).
-
Wish I could fight like that against Larry while flying the P-38. :aok He always hands me my head.
-
First a HO on the merge.........at 12 K......In an arena that frowns upon the ho........ Oh wait.I forgot who you were fighting. They dont do that.My graphics card must be screwy.Could swear Larry tried to Ho you on the merge and the following turn.

LMAO you must be blind or stupid if you think any of my shots were HOs. Oh I get it youre just trolling again because you love me so much. I told you already I'm not going to the prom with you no matter how many times you ask.
Hey look its the stalker again! Is Larry's ankle really that good?
You're starting to scare me, I think you need to take some of those meds you have strewn around you're rat's nest. :lol
I wonder if I can get a restraining order before he starts going trough my trash or breaking into my house to steal my underware.

How was the FSO last night Larry? :D

And how is what you are doing any different? Oh that's right its because you are disrespecting and bashing JG54 so its okay. Get a diddlying life.
-
That last thing it needs is a bunch of self inflated circle jerkin piss ants dictating how everyone should fly
Isn't that the whole reason your upset in the first place? Supposedly we didn't fly the FSO the way you wanted and didn't follow the "rules"? :lol
-
BTW Larry makes aircraft skins, designs maps and sets up missions in the AvA. What do you do for the AH community drdea?

Nice try. You got tossed. I quote Skuzzy here."Any member of the community making the decision to violate event rules will be asked to leave the event. That kind of disrespect will not be tolerated.
There are quite a number of people who work hard to provide these events and it does not take many bad eggs to ruin it for everyone.
The CM Team is well within its rights to boot anyone or any group from an event when rules of the event are being violated. It is the right thing to do.
I am locking this thread. Larry, if you and your squad do not want to respect the rules of the event, then stay out of the event. Problem solved"
The FSO thrives. The AVA dies. Your the virus. Man up and walk away from it. Or is your ego to big to do that?
-
The virus is people like you who cry on these boards and never fly the arena. How about you "man up" and fly the arena or shut up about how others want to fly it.
-
Face the facts Larry.As long as you are even perceived to be a part of AvA the numbers will never be there.Its just that simple. You can argue any and all angles you want. The fact remains that the AvA is looked upon like a beat down trailer park. Its not that idiotic theres no numbers cause theres no numbers you seem to actually believe. Its you. You and your crew.
It would be easy to find out.Ask HT to post a poll when people log into the arenas. Why dont you fly in the AVA? Do ya really want to find out?
-
Who do you speak for drdea? How do you know all the facts and you never fly there?

-

When enough reputable people tell ya the same thing.You tend to believe it. And judging by past issues,their much more credible.
-
Yawn drdea. Please tell me why there were so many numbers during the 'wars'? Oh and even better I was the 'axis CO' for the first two. Why didn't people run away in hordes when they saw me commanding a whole side? Why is it that when I run a mission the arena has numbers? Your reasons for people not coming into the arena are just pathetic and you really need to get new excuses.
-
Remove all your guys from the data.You had what? 10 people there? Yea.HUGE numbers. Theirs no use hashing this out. Till HT puts a poll up its all just speculation.Except for that elephant in the living room of no numbers 99 and 99/100th of the time.

Last time I ran a mission there were 36 people in the arena 6 of them were JG54. That's 30 non JG54 members in a dead arena flying a mission created and ran by someone who, from what you say, should have ran every single one of those people out of the arena. Like I said, yawn.

But Seriously When I do get to log on to AH and I may be checking out AVA it never seems to be active. If it was scheduled different or more people knew when it was active would help the numbers.

It was sarcasm. Next time I'll use crayolas for ya.

Oh no according to you if I, a JG54 member, ran the mission then there should have been zero non JG54 people in the arena. I want you to answer WHY there where 30 there having a great time and thanking me for putting it all together when it was done. Please I would love to hear you come up with an explanation.
-

1. No that doesnt answer my question
2. Do you want witnesses?

You got 30 people in one night.You take that little nugget as a success? I suppose after running all you could out of there its not bad,but the overall childish attitude in that place,along with the mass report on people you just dont like,says a LOT more about whats wrong with the AvA.
-
The guy is just grasping for straws at this point. It's just easier for for him to blame Larry and "those guys."

You didn't answer my question. WHY did thirty people show up for the mission if JG54 and I are the reason people don't fly it. I'm sure If I had no life and made a mission for every day of the week there would be 20-30+ people in there every night. But I'm sorry to say that Once a week is all I have and even that is starting to become to much.
As for the mass report email skuzzy and ask him what went down. And ask him out of the 17 or so members of JG54 how many actually reported.
-
prove it

That was a photo B4buster took when logging in to join the mission. More people came in late but still were able to get up to join the mission. Again why so many joining in on a mission run by 'Darth Larry'?
-
He's done

Funny when Skuzzy looked at the logs he unbanned him. How a bunch of others didnt get a serious ban is beyond me.

The very fact that someone has to take a pic of 50 people in one arena to prove it speaks volumes.

The two or three people from JG54 that did report him got a one week chat suspension and I got an email from skuzzy saying if it happened again that anyone that participants will get their account deleted.
What akak was saying is that the whole squad including me reported him when that wasn't the case. That's why you see a few 'see rule #' where akak was talking about it.
-
You said prove it, so we proved it.

He even has something to say when we give him what he wants. Its so sad. Funny thing is if you look at the picture you see that besides the LWMAs the AvA was the most populated arena that night. Another funny thing is when we fly the WNMs most of the time the CM for the SEA that is running the snapshot in the SEA comes in and tries to cherry pick people from the AvA mission. :lol
-
You said prove it, so we proved it.
Boom roast it
Yea ya proved it. You should act like youve been there before but you havnt. 50 people in AvA is impressive at the least.At the best its like saying you only crapped your pants 6 days last week. The over all result stinks.
You cant TELL me theres people that dont like historic match ups. The base is there. We all know it. Maybe several that dont wanna be the 1st guy to try to get the ball rolling,but if they knew more would come,they would do it.
Problem is nobody much believes that on any given day,people are going to show up.

Drdea, it seems to me that the AVA is obviously not the place for you. I can't for the life of me figure out why you insist on bringing all this to the BBS.
If there is nothing here of interest for you, other than bashing the arena and verbally attacking those that do fly there and try to help make it better, then I really suggest you move on.
Sounds to me that Scenarios are more in line with what you want to get out of AH, and I'm sure you will be happier there.
This forum is for the AVA and constructive criticism of the AVA set ups and plane sets are always welcome here. Personal vendettas against a particular squad or individual are not.

Seems to me the people getting attacked the most are the ones that try the AVA.And find it distasteful. Where is it wrong to give opinion as to why? People get berated,mass reported for having the gall to shoot someone down...nay 3 people down....they are screamed at on 200 for not flying according to the holy se's idea of whats right,only to see self appointed rulers of the place do the exact same thing. How anyone can stand for such behavior,and then wonder why the AVA is ground zero for empty is beyond me.
AVA used to be a great place. Maybe if the powers that be,the REAL ones see more people speaking out over what turns them off about it,we might just get that back.
-
Since you seem to have a hard on about the mass reporting please tell me what you know about that incident.
Fact 1: It didn't happen in the AvA it was in the MW.
Fact 2: It wasn't after anyone was shotdown. The person logged in and said 'hello' and that's when the reports happened.
Fact 3: It wasn't the whole squad. It was no more then three people of that squad and from what ever you here I wasn't one of them.
Fact 4: The people that did do the reporting got punished and I got an email from skuzzy letting me know that if it happened again those that did participate in it would be booted from the game.
Since that is all cleared up please don't bring it up in the AvA boards again since it clearly doesn't belong in it, and if you do have anymore questions please PM me or skuzzy. Because every time you bring it up here I will report it to skuzzy since it is against the rules.
-
Its a trend. And you just run along and report that. Get some friends to join in.Seems to be your strong suit.

AVA used to be a great place. Maybe if the powers that be,the REAL ones see more people speaking out over what turns them off about it,we might just get that back.
Let me try to respond to each of these items you brought up here in turn:
1. "Seems to me the people getting attacked the most are the ones that try the AVA.And find it distasteful."
For each and every individual that feels they are attacked in the AVA an equal or greater number seem to have a good time and rarely get involved in a purse fight. What this means to me is that if an individual goes into the AVA expecting a purse fight, they enter the arena swinging a purse. In other words it becomes a self fulfilling prophecy.
There really is no more or no worse verbal taunting in the AVA than there is in any of the other arenas (in fact it is less, and that is fact). There are always way fewer numbers in the AVA and that creates the perception that there is alot of purse swinging. It is only a perception.
2. "Where is it wrong to give opinion as to why?"
There is absolutely nothing wrong with giving an opinion. It just doesn't need to be expressed as an attack or with the purpose of causing a personal conflict.
3. "People get berated,mass reported for having the gall to shoot someone down...nay 3 people down....they are screamed at on 200 for not flying according to the holy se's idea of whats right,only to see self appointed rulers of the place do the exact same thing. How anyone can stand for such behavior,and then wonder why the AVA is ground zero for empty is beyond me."
First of all, the "mass reporting" was a few individuals only, it was dealt with as Larry has already stated and has no bearing on the AVA. That is a dead horse. I have never seen people screamed at for not flying according to some divine rulers laws. See first reply in this post for clarification there.
4. "AVA used to be a great place. Maybe if the powers that be,the REAL ones see more people speaking out over what turns them off about it,we might just get that back."
The AVA is still a great place. What's not a great place right now is the AVA forum. You know if you are really interested in helping the AVA better, a bit of constructive and coherent thoughts and ideas are always welcome. If everyone would park the BBS away in a corner for a while and just fly the
arena (and check their purses at the door) it would go along way to squashing the bad rep that has been garnered there.
As a side note, I can tell you that we Staff are taking a more hands on approach to the arena, and are quite willing to police it if need be, but that stick swings with a pretty broad arc. Naturally, it would be better for each individual to police themselves.
Anything else I can help you with tonight?

Well gee.Such a pillar of the community should have people just tripping over themselves trying to get a spot in right? I mean come on. Lets be realistic if you can.Which I seriously doubt at this point.All Im seeing to justify the low numbers is the same old tired line.Nobody there cause nobodys there. Kinda like stupid is as stupid does and makes less sense. Nobody wants to make a habit of going into AVA because JG 54,class acts whatever have the by and large community convinced they are childish,egotistical,arrogant<Do ya need posts to show how they perceive this> and as long as they have what looks like a clamp on the arena most people are happy to let them have their own little slice of heaven.I mean EW is a porkfest.AVA is a dorkfest.
<dorkfest does not imply everyone flying there is a dork.If fact around 40 non dorks flew there one night and "we got teh pix to prove it ah yup we sur nuff do.">
LMAO! No where in that rant did you answer the question :rofl :rofl :lol.
However you did manage to throw in a personal insult:"Lets be realistic if you can.Which I seriously doubt at this point."
-
Just as an outside player that is I would like to claim as new to this community having hardly more than 4-5 months under my belt, would like to state that I have a great interest in the axis vs allies arena. That being stated the arena reminds me of a crop field during the great depression, ya know with the whole dust and tumble weed thing going down. I would love to see the ava filled with 200 plus people regularly. However this game just does not have the numbers to fill 2 LATE WAR arena's and AvA. Given the choice of entering an arena with 20 people or an arena with 150-350ish people most of you all will go for the larger arena as its larger numbers will mean you will see some progress and good action somewhere. Where as an arena with 20 people will take a server wide coordination to even get enough people to try and take a base from 1-2 defenders in flak and a plane or two. I think a good way to fix this would be to eliminate one of the late war arena's that way when one of the late war arena overflows you know to where it is like 243/200 well the excess players itching for their fix will have to either fly ew mw or AvA This would give the other neglected and lonely arena's a little time in the lime light for better or worse.

They will go MW, not AvA.
The AvA setup is so different from MA play that most players will fill up all other available MA's first before going to AvA.
Has already happened.
-
LMAO you must be blind or stupid if you think any of my shots were HOs.
I saw them as (poor attempts at) HO's too. It seemed to be your intent and had you been able to pull guns on it seemed you most certainly would have. Maybe I need to watch the film again but I'm really not all that interested. Just providing a second opinion.
-
I didn't view them as HO's as much as what I used to call "nose down" shots back as a trainer. As a general rule that type of shot is a very poor decision ACM wise since it normally creates a number of problems. Increased speed decreases turn rate and creates a scenario where your losing angles, bleeding E and minimizing any chance for success if you attempt a sustained fight. The general exception is if your higher but slower and you combine a nose down front quarter pass with a zoom extension in the vertical, the idea of the pass being to force the other guy to expend E evading and then pull g's in chasing what he perceives to be a B&Z noob...basically the "HO" is setting up a rope from what was actually a neg E initial position. Taken in combination with the later sequence its a pretty pitiful display from someone who is obviously much more capable then that.
-
to all of those that have a problem with JG54: instead of being girls, why dont you all man up and come to our forum and say what you want to say. maybe even try to bury the hatchet so to speak( not in someone's head either!)
we welcome any "Man" that has guts enough to come and say what you have to say to our faces. No fear of retribution, no fear of PNG, no fear of muting and NO RULES!
we will even make a private forum so that no one else can see whats being discussed. your option!
that is the challenge. otherwise your just a mealy-mouth weinie hiding behind a computer. anyone that had anything bad to say about us after this post is a girl!!
say it to our faces!! www.ahgreenhearts.org/phpbb (http://www.ahgreenhearts.org/phpbb)
Put up or shut up! Lets stop this madness!!

Then you don't know me, but hey most of the people who trashtalk me don't eather so that isn't new. I very rarely HO in the AvA. If he would have pulled his nose up to me I wouldn't have shot, but since he gave me a top down shot I took it and missed horribly both times.

Of course you have, you're obsessed with JG54.

Everyone who has posted in this thread would like to see the AvA do better. This is not the way to make that happen. Stuff a sock in it and move on.

Larry didn't HO.
I've always said it takes two to HO.
Since I maneuvered pre-merge to create vertical and horizontal turning room and then flew to the post to get inside his turn circle there was definitely only one guy trying to get a high aspect snapshot at the first merge.
And I'm up for 1 v 1 DA as long as you are willing to go same plane, no rules.
Daddog,
I'm available for 1 on 1 training. Just pop me a PM. Beware, I focus on fundamentals because that is where the real secrets are.

I would love to see the ava filled with 200 plus people regularly. However this game just does not have the numbers to fill 2 LATE WAR arena's and AvA. Given the choice of entering an arena with 20 people or an arena with 150-350ish people most of you all will go for the larger arena as its larger numbers will mean you will see some progress and good action somewhere. Where as an arena with 20 people will take a server wide coordination to even get enough people to try and take a base from 1-2 defenders in flak and a plane or two. I think a good way to fix this would be to eliminate one of the late war arena's that way when one of the late war arena overflows you know to where it is like 243/200 well the excess players itching for their fix will have to either fly ew mw or AvA This would give the other neglected and lonely arena's a little time in the lime light for better or worse.
Show up on Wednesday at 9:00 p.m. EST. I hear there will be a few people in there :aok

Will see about the interest vudak. Cant say I will be impressed if it is just 30 people though. Thats really not much to work with that generally just means 1 sided base sacking or simple furbals over 1 base maybe 2 if you wanna get spread out and fancy.

Greziz what are your interests in the game? In the AvA all it takes is 2-10 people to make great fights. On the other hand once number start going up and there is no clear objective like the missions that are run there it does just turn into a big furball and unfortunately that's when all the HOing and ganging starts. Because once one people gets HOed or ganged they start doing it and it just starts a chain reaction. As for base taking, while rare in the AvA, do sometimes happen.
The people that populate the arena nowadays are looking for mainly fights but don't let that stop you from coming in there and doing what you want. Everyone has their own idea of fun and the only person that can stop you from enjoying yourself is you. Don't worry about what others are doing or saying. If you don't like what someone is saying on 200 just squad them and go on with your fun.
I'm going to setup a mission for this Thursday since Wednesday already has something going on. If you like flying in a bomber raid, escorting the bombers, or trying to defind against them all at historical altitudes then I would suggest joining in.
