:rofl :rofl :rofl
Beyond the basic "get ganged by 2 or 3 and kill all the baddies singlehandedly" and live....
Beyond the name in lights for mega-kill numbers....
Even beyond the top-10 rank at the end of tour.....
We've all heard that it's a great honor to be called a HAXX4R and the "C" word, and to be reviled by the red icon as doing things unpossible in toon planes.....
What are your other "Rights of Passage" in AH that in some small way say "you've made it!" you're obviously a BAAAAAAAD man??
Mine doesn't really denote having done anything special, it was just so pathetic and comical I had to share.....I was just chuckling over the one I got today for the first time, after 2+ years of AH..........
The pm VOX rant by someone ou just shot down!
Honestly, in just over two years of playing this game this is the first time I've run across someone who actually VOX pm'd me after I shot him down to tell me how awesome they are(I think he said "you mess with the bull you're gonna get the horns!" :rofl ) and what he was gonna do to me when he came back with a new plane! OMG! I've been pm'd before, and pm'd people if I didn't feel like starting a monkey toejamfight on 200, but VOX PMing someone who just owned you to taunt them?!?! :rofl
I know, I know, it's pretty lame, and not worthy of recognition on the BBS, but this guy was killing me... well, not literally in a toon sense, but I was dying laughing! :rofl :rofl :rofl
Every day it's somehing new and funny! Thank You here-to-for unnamed AH toon pilot, you made my day! :rofl :rofl :rofl

This might not be pretty......
-
you know, you're right..... I edited out the player's name, no need to go there, it's apparently pretty common behavior for this individual to do this, nothing new....
But seriously, there have to be planty more gutt-busting funny things that people have done as a response to losing a toon air battle, feel free to share 'em. :)

I've just never understood it......honestly. When I die in the virtual arena (and it is often) I directly attribute it to something that I DID WRONG to earn that fate. I chose to take a bad approach to a field or a bad line on a formation of buffs, failed to properly conceal myself in a GV or had that "John Wayne" moment when I thought it was the smart thing to do to barrel head long into a swarm of red guys. Honestly, alot of the so called "dumb" things I do are either A. Seemed like a brillant idea at the time or B. I am just trying to have a lil 'ol fun. As I plument to the earth below I know that I can just re-up a shiny new ride and all is right in the virtual universe again. Who knows, maybe my line of thinking is just all wrong. :cheers:

When you get called a cheat or hack ( http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/index.php/topic,134965.0.html ) which I think you covered.
When you have been around longer then dirt, or get asked to join one of older then Dirt squadrons.
When you can take all the bad stuff this game can dish out like vulching, Spawn camping, cherry picking - Not playing the way the other player wants you to, and ego, chest thumping, and name calling, all while brushing the B.S. off and still have fun. (If you have and easy way to do this Let me know)
When you stop monitoring or tuning to ch 200 because it just isn't entertaining any more and no longer worth space in the text buffer. (I still haven't done this)
When you no longer care about status, scores, or ratios. When you feel you have nothing to prove to any one, and you don't need to arrive or get beyond some right of passage because you left that back in the dust of some other long dead forgotten game.
When you can actually place faces and real names to handles or know many players in person.
When people want to meet you and buy you a beer rather then kick your head in or do bad "pulp Fiction" things to you.
You know big week .... and the people that also know of big week know you.
When you become skeptical of a guy telling you he owns a B-17.

Jeez, guess I passed that threshold a while ago :)
Initially i got crucified on Bigweek for being the B17 owner skeptic :aok

Reaper thats pretty dang hilarious. omgroflmao. I remember one time the game had a glitch in it and the muppets were gang bangin me like as in 8 on 1 and I had an a6Zero that I was in, that was unkillable. The force was with me. OMG did I get chewed out, but the funny thing is I was laughing so hard that I blew pop all over my screen and knocked the popcorn off of my desk. I could hardly stay in my chair from laughing uncontrollably. I think I eventually re-logged numerous times and fixed the glitch. :rofl :rofl :rofl :rofl :rofl :rofl

hmmm this guys name stars with a H and ends with a double S?
lmao i remember when i killed him 2 times in a row, even tho 1st time it was a 3v1 and 2nd time he had a much turnier ride and alt on me, and he harrassed me on 200 for 3-4 months for being a cheater, cable plugger, hoer, picker, altmunky, homo, retard etc etc... and guess what? i am haha
-
have been called a cable puller a couple times several years back... Funny part was I was on dialup at the time so I'm thinking that pulling my "cable" would not have done me a lot of good :rofl
Umm I have been private voxed and he yelled at me and I quote "NOW LISTEN HERE YOU F*** HEAD!!!" wasn't recording so not much Skuzz could do on that one lol.
One that should be added I think is doing something well enough that people simply log off so fast after you kill them that you can't even get a <S> out lol. Best one of these I remember was a guy in a 262 chasing my KI-67's for 2 or 3 sectors and when he finally got in range I instapopped him before he even got a shot off lol.
Most recent one of these was a few days ago. I took a panther out to take care of another panther. Moved a short distance down hill and broadside to him with one of the lil bushes that you can now roll and shoot through between him and me. I cold see front and back of his tank but the bush was closer to him so all he could see was the bush. I kill him with 2 shots through the bush into his side and get a PM accusing me of hacking and shooting through the hill. He logged off before I could reply and tell him what happened. lol
-
When you kill a usually better player by taking the shot you have, but it was a little too "nose-on" for his liking. You get called a "HOer". LOL.

Alt f4, we all fell for it :)
<S> Oz

Someone, not to long ago said to me, "I was so happy to see it was you diving in Zoney, because I knew you would save me, thanks.
It was a buff guy, that was my "I made it" moment.
-
Alt f4, we all fell for it :)
<S> Oz
ill proudly admit that when i was 14 i fell for it :lol

when you spawn in and an old hat said "Hi how ya doin?" or shot ya a salute over country....
-
If it's a rite of passage, it's one I never underwent. I don't ever recall having someone go after me either on private vox or in PM. Pretty much every PM conversation I've ever had in the game was pleasant and respectful. Maybe times have changed.

You login to the game. Go to the first airfeild swamped in red, pick your fav ride in the hanger, spawn on the runway and scream off to the defence. About 4 things can happen that cause you a DouH moment...an AH Right of Passage so to say.
1. All the green guys you saw from the tower died while you were picking your ride. You spawn alone on the runway into 30 red guys waiting for you.
2. You up get in the air and wonder why your turny burny croch rocket is flying like a bloated whale. But, that's only for a moment and you chase around ankle biteing the red guys getting only assists until its time to land. Once on the ground then, you accidentaly hit your arms selector button and notice the number 1 or 2 next to 10, 25, 50 or 100.
3. Same as above but after you land that selector indicator shows 1 or 2 and DT and your fuel gauge shows only 20% used from the DT while you forgot your internal tanks were at 100%.
4. Same as above but you are finaly vindicated that your uber croch rocket flying saucer with WEP on from the runway spawn really can turn on a pin head and levetate sideways. And just as you saddel up for a well ACMed kill....Your engine dies. Only then do you see the gass guage on zero and remember last night you were testing something off line and reduced your fuel to 25%.
-
When you become skeptical of a guy telling you he owns a B-17.
From what I hear, he actually tried to pull that same crap over at FA a couple of years ago.
ack-akc
-
You shoot down a few Spitfires 1v1 in something ungainly like a P-47 because the pilots are very new and don't know the plane has a throttle, and because anything can out-turn something going 400mph, and you put it down to "poor sucker, he really didn't know what he was doing".
Then you slowly realize that this is the stuff of players on the BBS bragging about making their bricks-with-fins "out-turn" Spitfires, self-promoting deceptive crap.
Then another day you realize that blackout-to-redout porpoising is a more effective guns defense than break turns, barrel rolls, or anything else a human is likely to actually do in the cockpit, and you hope most pilots out there never realize this fact and keep getting their ACM from Shaw and not the DA lake "gurus".
You slowly began to realize that the people talking on 200 are, for the most part, from the smartest 20% of the population-they own, operate, and build computers, and are interested in history and aviation. The realization that this is the upper 20% you are dealing with scares the @^%^#^%*&#@$E~~%@%!!! out of you and makes you lie awake dreading your nation's future.
Probably the most important rite of passage is one day when you realize that for the most part, you just don't care what happens in the air. You are then almost immediately able to fly 110% better than you were before...but it doesn't matter. :devil

Nah, same deal :)
-
Surviveing Levi's littel Blue Spit was a right of passage..... :)
-
Telling someone that alt+F4 does something or other and they do it, then when they come back in complaining of how they were tricked.
Falling for that is a Aces High right of passage.

hmmm this guys name stars with a H and ends with a double S?
No, :rofl That's a whole different "character" to put it lightly!
The person I refer to might be seen wearing a T-shirt with this image on it, though:

Well. You may remember KenJr's memorial flight for his father, and my unfortunate participation in that. Otherwise I've only received one PM like this, and I think that one was probably a mistake.

I miss Bigweek. As for surviving a Levi lead turn, I wouldn't know..never did :D
I do miss tweaking Deadduck after his Longbow "Shift an airfield" faux paus and seeing the guys at the Cons.
Hopefully someday I'll be healthy enough to travel again :aok

getting muted i suppose

Had the vox rants to me just the other day.I didn't think it was possible for other countries players to use vox to talk to you on your squad channel.The guy that did it to me has a reputation that proceeds him.I think that is one thing that AH should fix.It's bad enough if you monitor 200 and listen to all that tripe,but to have some 1/2 wits voice on your squad channel berating you is another story.

That sounds like a nice wish list item.
-
Another right of passage:
You spawn out in a tank and your back in the tower 10 seconds later. You think it's a glitch in the game. After this happens maybe 20+ times you may get lucky enough to realize that some guy named 4wolf & Hooter were behind you the whole time camping !

i'm still waiting for my moment. be ready with the slow clap....
