Post by: Butcher on July 09, 2012, 11:24:26 AM
I will certainly try it with 20eny + higher, not sure its my nature to fly above 10k though or stay out of fights.

I would certainly give it a go in a C.205 or Ki-84, but i will wait until next tour.

My ground rules are:
No higher then 10k climb, no hiding in hordes - I can have a wingman at times.

I suspect I get around 30-40k/d before getting chased down by an La7 due to poor SA.

Dang, he does have a point there.  Guess we are calling it "longest kills streak without a death" challenge.

Does not really have the same ring to it though.

When I check at my score in the roster, there's still a number next to the K/D section even though I have not died yet. "Technically", it's not K/D then, but let's just call it that for now.  :)

No...

The point is: Kills / Deaths +1  :old:

No...

The point is: Kills / Deaths +1  :old:

 :headscratch:

Kills per Death + 1    4.43   

Kills    124   
Assists     22   
Sorties     50   
Landed     21   
Bailed     3   
Ditched     2   
Captured 6   
Deaths     18   
Discos     0   
Time       10:53:55   
Rank   15   

You're confusing me.

Bailed + Captured + Deaths = 27

124/27 = 4.59

The ditches bring it down to 4.43?

:You're confusing me.

Your "rules" were stating

2. Highest Kill to Death ratio is winner.
3. If you die, you are disqualified.


And HT simply pointed out that it dosen't not work as you can not have a K/D ratio without a death, as dividing by 0 is not possible.

You then said there was a number next to the K/D section on your score sheet, and I pointed out it's not saying "K/D" but "K/D+1". Which is not the same ;)


Clear now?  :old:

When you have to change the title of your own contest, that you invented, I think you have been effectively trolled.   :D

Seems to me it's nothing to do with K/D ratio, and more to do with 'longest kill streak from the beginning of the month.'  If a death eliminates you, it's not K/D or even K/D+1 you're measuring.

A competition with the main focus on not getting killed even a single time will, by and large, inevitably result in more and more 'cautious' flying by those being serious about the contest.

I'm not sure exactly what are you "barking" about here.

If you're issuing a challenge, I respectfully request you give me a tour or two to get back in game-shape.  My new computer arrives on Friday and I'll likely re-sub this weekend.  My intention was to try flying higher ENY planes, though, maybe like the 109F or something.  I'm hoping in the process I can build up a better tolerance to getting picked, before reverting to my Pony.

I might find ya at your alt at some point, though.  'Til then...  good hunting!

I was "barking" because you put the yellow streak thing in there which implies.....well ya see where I was coming from.  I was also trying that reverse psychology thing and failed again.  I'm very good at failing and not learning from it.  And I'm sure you will find me at my alt, the question will you be at that alt or see me coming?  I'm very very sneaky you know

It was the funny double-meaning of "streak" I was shooting for.  No offense to those who fly to survive and land.  That is after all more my style.  I usually fly for streak first, but then get bored and end up flying for fun.  I do intend to land every sortie; it just doesn't always work out that way for me.  :)

Anywho, I'm looking forward to my first "XXXX shot you down" message soon enough.

3,000 +/- pilots ingame and we are losing sleep over a dozen or so engaging in this boring contest? For those that find indignance may I suggest an alternate thread? Call it what you will but create a hit list composed of those in the "tour 151 K/D challenge" and sticks post as they administer the coup de gras. It becomes your own deck of cards to chase.

We play K/D for as long as one month, the others get to act as assissines. All are satisfied? That leaves the debaters a little short of fun but I'm sure they'll find something to haggle over. It's like all those old 101st Airborne vets down at the gas station every Friday and Saturday morning. The purpose is to find purpose as it stumbles upon them. Then they debate it until something better comes along.  Life is good to all!
