Title: Your favorite death
Post by: Brooke on March 16, 2014, 05:34:24 PM
Along the line of your favorite person to shoot down comes:  your favorite death.

Here are a couple of mine.

-----------------

I was flying over our airfield that was under attack by a formation of bombers and was hit in the air by a falling bomb and killed.

-----------------

I was in a tank trying (in my inept way, since I am not practiced in tanks) to help my fellow countrymen defend against an assault by our dastardly sworn enemies.  Hearing tank fire and seeing friendly icons, I drove around to where I thought I might be of some use.

I waited a while, scanning the terrain for enemy tanks and heard the sound of aircraft engines.  I looked up, didn't see anything, and went back to scanning the terrain for enemy tanks.

Then I heard the report of a cannon quickly followed by a hit on my tank.  An enemy was close!  I popped into my command position and hurriedly scanned around, starting from my forward left and proceeding clockwise.  Nothing in my forward quarter, still scanning, and another report and hit.

Now, I could see behind me, and there it was:  an enemy B-25, on the ground, taxiing toward me and firing its front cannon!  For an instant, I froze, flabbergasted by the situation, then started traversing my turret.  But after another hit, I was dead.

Nath got me.  He had landed his B-25, taxied around some trees up toward the rear of my tank and blasted me.

 :rofl

Killing a tank at spawn with an absolutely world-class long distance shot beyond 6000 yards...  :banana:

... and ending up in tower because the tank was a freindly one outside icon range  :uhoh

I was flying in B-17's when I came across a CV. The guy in the gun hadn't switched to AA ammo and instead hit me directly in the face with the normal HE shell.

How do I know the shell type?






Tracers.

Today, took off in B-29's from a 5K field. (Normally no problem) my left drone never "hooked up" with me and my right, and exploded. A little po'd I turned around and tried to land crashed 4ft to the left of the runway with my other 29 off the runway. So I bailed out of my wreak to try to get the 3rd B29 safely on the runway, no dice... As soon as I jumped to the 3rd it fell apart on the hill that it was on so I ditched.

But wait there's more! So I re-uped 29's everything went fine, climbed to 27,000ft (doing wash, moping the floor and such) make it to the bish City, first bomb run I have friendly Lanc's under me ( thinking what are the odds we drop the same row of city buildings I line up and drop to what I be leave will be right next to the row he is dropping on) NOPE! I dropped on his row.

As I extend for another round, a tiffy is right under me, I'm not worried, I start to use short burst at long range and score hits, just to let him know I'm not going to make it easy for him.

THEN BOOM!.....

The power goes out! My PC room, pool table room and washer upstairs all turn off. No breakers are tripped and no other rooms are without power. Surely the tiffy had some easy kills, and/or I got disco-ed. Either way my day/week is done until I can figure out why I have no power to 3 rooms without a breaker tripped.

FSO. Rearming b26s on the runway after a very successful run over an axis field

Sitting there laughing with my squad , having a grand old time planning on going back and hammering that base again. Then it happens.......someone yells " TOWER! TOWER!! TOWER!!!!  262 VULTCHING THE FIELD!!!   A second later most of my squad And myself Are in the tower scratching our heads wondering WTF just happened.  And Filth is flying away with more scalps than an Indian barber...

The nightmares  from that frame have finally stopped and the doctor says after another few years of therapy I should be just fine.....oops gotta run, I'm making a new outfit....now where did I put that lotion and new basket I just bought?  :D

Post by: Karnak on March 16, 2014, 08:22:21 PM
Long time ago in AH1.  Late at night a horde was taking Rook base after Rook base unopposed.  I grabbed a Spit V (The first Spit V we had, not the second more potent one) and climbed out towards what I thought would be their next target. As I was flying out I said on the global channel "You won't get the next base unopposed!" or some such.  I arrived to find that I was correct and there were about eight fighters down there so I dove in.  By the time we were in a Luftberry on the deck I'd gotten three of them, but it was clear the end was near as I was out of E and altitude, but then as I come around my circle I just catch a C-47 slipping below the edge of the plateau about 5000 yards away.  I surprise them by my sudden break out of the Luftberry as I head for the C-47 with all the speed a Spit V can muster while behind me P-38s and P-51s try to catch up.  As I cross the edge of the plateau bullets are already flying around me, but I dip down, roll and turn left towards where I see the C-47 has fled gaining a brief respite from the enemy fire.  They can't see which way I went so they have to duplicate my maneuver of determining direction only after they can see over the edge and that buys me enough time to fatally pump the C-47 full of Hispano shells and .303 bullets before the five remaining fighters finally bring me down.

  I am coming to the bottom of a loop.  I either got shot, or went too low, don't remember which.  I smacked the ground, but I didn't hit it hard enough to go boom.  So now I am skidding along the ground, with an enemy plane still shooting at me.  The plane catches on fire, I hit a bump and go airborne for a few seconds, before skidding on the ground some more and finally coming to a stop.

Way, way back on Air Warrior I'm in a turning fight….we're very evenly matched, been fighting a long time.  I've pinged him a couple times…he's pinged me a couple times.  He makes a good move and gets some more hits on me and I start smelling smoke.  I'm thinking oh crap, he hit me hard!   WTF!!!  SMELL SMOKE??

Mine was just a couple weeks ago. One of our bases was under heavy attack, defenders were out numbered 4 to 1. My wingman and I roll in on a group of JU87's. First pass I lite up the lead pretty good. My wingman rolls in and tries to pepper two in one pass and ends up colliding and losing half a wing. As I roll in for another pass I spot a goon low over the water heading for the base. In that instant of looking at the goon the JU87's break and I collide with them as I pass.

Now with half of my port wing gone on my pony I get my plane slowed a bit and under control. It's either try to limp 45-50 miles home, or try for a pass on the goon.  :devil I nose down and head for the area I saw the goon in. Finally spot him a couple miles out of town. Now I have everyones attention! 3 or 4 come strait for me and blow the HO shots they go for.... pony flopping around sure does help. I have 3 more diving on me, the HOers are coming around and the goon is making a hard break turn to the right.

I nurse my pony as far to the right as I can with out flipping over, pull the trigger and spray out all I've got. I lite up the goon from nose to tail as I swing by, BOOM! "You have shot down 999000"  :O  Dudes easy when he doesn't have any guns! Now I'm tree top level no where near max speed in my pony, missing half a wing with half a dozen guys bearing down on me. I think I made it half a mile. LOL!!!  It was a GLORIOUS DEATH  :)

I killed 999000 in an LVT, even had it recorded.. will have to find it.  I've killed him in my 88s before while he was in his death star 17s :)

Have both sorties recorded will have to find them sometime.

I was flying Ju 88's in the "Operation Husky" scenario (June 2007), loaded with torps, out to sink enemy shipping.

After a long search, we found the enemy task group near the edge of the map.  I zoomed in to look at it from long range and sew this:
(http://electraforge.com/brooke/flightsims/scenarios/200706_husky/pics/frame1/006_spiralDown.jpg)

The odd blue band far ahead looked sort of like clouds to me, or maybe like a far-off mountain range, but we were in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea, no land anywhere near, so I figured it was some sort of cloud effect.

I had to reposition for a good attack angle on the carrier.
(http://electraforge.com/brooke/flightsims/scenarios/200706_husky/pics/frame1/007_setup.jpg)

And then, looking forward, the blue bands began to look a lot like a water mountain.  I was at 1000 ft alt in the middle of flat water, though, so I figured that it must be a graphics anomaly -- some sort of glitch in my card's graphics rendering.
(http://electraforge.com/brooke/flightsims/scenarios/200706_husky/pics/frame1/011_forwardWater.jpg)

Just then, I started taking hits from a Spitfire and had to jump to rear guns to do battle with him.  I was still doing battle with him when this happened:
(http://electraforge.com/brooke/flightsims/scenarios/200706_husky/pics/frame1/014_lastInstant.jpg)

I didn't know this at the time, but back then (not sure about now), a map edge wrapped around to what was on the other side of the map.  In this case, it was mountains, and so the water on my side of the map was ramping up to the height of the mountain range, making a water mountain, which I had slammed into.

Unfortunately, the Spitfire was able to break off and not crash.  :(

back in aw I was a really good gunner.  my squad always wanted me to gun when on a bomber.  once I was a gunner on an a26, it was gonna be a 15 minute flight time at least, so I decided to look at the map, i was scanning to see where all the action was.  next thing I know we are back in the tower.  I question the pilot what happened. he was like dude, I told you 3 times we had a spit behind us why didnt you fire? I was embarrassed when i told him I was busy looking at the map to see where the action was.

Probably Miracle at Midway, Frame 1 (11/7/08). VMF-251 had 10 F4Fs to patrol Midway Island. An outbound strike package from Enterprise spotted bandits inbound to Midway, and the squadron vectored to intercept, with sections of the squadron making contact at about 25,000 feet. The squadron rendezvoused before engaging, with three sections (four ships from our Blue Flight and two from White Flight, which only had two aircraft) attacking a group of low D3As. Red Flight under my lead was getting ready to roll in when a second group of bombers was spotted inbound at  higher altitude, at which point we redirected to engage the fresh group.

(http://vmf251-buccaneers.net/images/Media/FSO/11-07-08/Hi-Res/01.png)

What ensued was one hell of a furball between ten F4Fs and what ended up as over 120 D3As (I still consider that a bit of shenanigans  :furious :furious :furious). We ended up taking down about 21 of them, with myself downing 6 and HAMMERR taking out 7. Midway was completely swarmed with nowhere to land to refuel and rearm, so a couple of us managed to break out towards Enterprise, with the rest forced to ditch out of gas. Myself, aJoust and HAMMERR managed to get back to the carrier, intending to rearm and refuel. However on my landing, I snagged the wire and shut down my engine, only to get CATAPULTED OFF the rear of the flight deck despite having successfully touched down. Needless to say, after running that gauntlet only to have my night ended by a landing glitch  I was NOT a happy camper.  :furious

I had this happen to me not long ago.  Half the house without power and no breakers tripped.  I called an electrician who told me to call the power company.  I did and and they came out and worked on the nearest transformer and everything was fixed.

diving after a red guy into our town I fill him up with 20mm from my mossie when suddenly I hear laoud cannon hits in my headphones and the text buffers fills up with "you shot yourself" messages. There was a friendly tank parked in the town and I hit it with the cannon rounds that missed the bandit. I go down burning marveling the awesome power of my own quad hispanos.

I had a similar problem with losing power a few years ago. Four rooms would lose power for a few hours, then everything would be fine for days. This was off and on for a few days until I figured out what happened. The outlets all had the wires inserted in the back instead of secured under the screws. Even though the wires were still inside the outlets, a couple of them were loose and losing contact. I replaced all the outlets and all is well.

P.S. My brother just purchased a new home. The previous owner remodeled the home and replaced all the outlets. Best I can tell, half the outlets have the hot and neutral wires crossed. It's a large home, gonna take me a few evenings after work to fix them all.

Hope this helps.

FGBullet

Today, took off in B-29's from a 5K field. (Normally no problem) my left drone never "hooked up" with me and my right, and exploded. A little po'd I turned around and tried to land crashed 4ft to the left of the runway with my other 29 off the runway. So I bailed out of my wreak to try to get the 3rd B29 safely on the runway, no dice... As soon as I jumped to the 3rd it fell apart on the hill that it was on so I ditched.

But wait there's more! So I re-uped 29's everything went fine, climbed to 27,000ft (doing wash, moping the floor and such) make it to the bish City, first bomb run I have friendly Lanc's under me ( thinking what are the odds we drop the same row of city buildings I line up and drop to what I be leave will be right next to the row he is dropping on) NOPE! I dropped on his row.

As I extend for another round, a tiffy is right under me, I'm not worried, I start to use short burst at long range and score hits, just to let him know I'm not going to make it easy for him.

Fighting anyone for more then one minute and then ending up dead because they earned the kill. Can't tell you how often it has happened, but anytime a kill comes from a fight, not a HO/pick/vulch, is my favorite death.

Some come to mind, the first time I thought I had Grizz, K4 on K4, think, oh yeah, next scissor he is mind. Pull vertical, look out the top of the canopy thinking his airplane would be parallel to mine. All I see is K4 nose.... tower.

One of my early FSO's escorting, I got a kill or two but was pilot wounded on egress from the target.  Babied the plane home, various miscellaneous plane bits shot off.  Blacking out more and more frequently, I landed harder than I wanted to, broke the landing gear and wound up skidding down the runway shedding parts as I went.  Slid to a stop upside down, the only part of the plane still attached the engine and cockpit.  Laughing like a hyena as I took a moment to go 'whew', reached forward to type .ef as I was blacking out, the screen went red and I was in tower, having died from my pilot wound with my hands about an inch from the keyboard.

Since then, I'm typing .ef as the plane gets to about 25mph braking or skidding on its belly.

Not really a death since I survived but I did lose 2 planes. I upped a set of B29s to go death star mode on all the planes upping from the nearby cv. Shortly after takeoff I realized there was far too many green planes around and I was never going to get to fight any of them bad guys. I did however see a set of high B24s going to bomb our base, so I climbed and chased after them. I ended up shooting them all down but at the lose of 2 B29's. Listening to my squaddie crack up over vox over me chasing bombers down in my B29s was well worth it though.  :D  :lol

I don't particularly enjoy dying while in the MA.  But if I must, I prefer it's either the result of a decent fight or to accomplish some squad goal like capturing a base or taking out a CV group.

Other than that I can't think of any specific death I'd call out more than any other.

A few years ago I was flying a goon on an NOE mission with a bunch of Jugs.  We were following the gently rolling terrain when one of the hills got a little too big for my thrust/weight ratio.  I hit WEP and kept pulling the nose up just enough to try to get over the hill.  I have a film of it somewhere but I went up half the hill with the nose pointed skyward dragging the tail wheel with puffs of dust coming out from under it until the hill finally won.

I didn't actually die.  It ended as a ditch.

Don't remember if I died on that pass or not, but one that made me laugh pretty hard I was on autoclimb contemplating my navel for five or ten minutes.  Something about the bardar/map on the clipboard made me start wondering where the bandit in my sector was, as I figured I should be headed right for him.  I pushed over to level flight just as the distance indicator on a set of B17s that had been hiding behind the engine cowling switched from 1.2k to 1k dead in front of me.  Much panicked break turn/stick stirring ensued.

The angle was about right I likely would have collided with him if I hadn't moved the stick.

My favorite death ever occurred about 2 years ago.  I was over a base being pounded by the hoard when I was oiled.  All hangers were down, town was white flagged, ack at base and town was all down so I figured I'd just set it down on the runway because the troops were inbound.  Landed, rolled to a safe stop on the runway and out of habit I ended BEFORE the base was actually captured.

Just yesterday I upped a 262. A very rare thing for me as I never seem to have many perks available. Also I am completely hopeless in them.
Anyway I toddled off, killed a Pony with a rudder shot of which I was justly proud. Then found a Stuka which I despatched with aplomb. Feeling invincible I headed home to land my scalps. On the way back I snuck up behind a Jug and destroyed it with a quick burst.
Short of fuel and taters now I headed to the nearest field which was in a hollow on a hill. Try as I might I simply could not get the speed low enough to land and yet high enough to clear the mountains round the edge of the field.
After 3 attempts I decided to go to the next nearest field.
Fuel expired about 1k from the field and I struggled like hell for my one go at landing. Needless to say I came in too quick, folded the nose gear and slewed off tge runway before everything collapsed and I was sat in the tower. Another 3 months I might get enough perks for another go :cry

Killshot myself with a ricochet off a Tiger tank.  Came in low and fast in a B-25H on a Tiger and fired in close and the round bounced off the tank, shot straight into the air and hit my plane as I over flew the tank.

The Battle Over Germany scenario.

I was flying Bf 109's, hunting for Dicke Autos.  I came across a formation of them escorted by P-47's.  I tangled with the escort but eventually got chased out by a group of P-47's.
(http://electraforge.com/brooke/flightsims/scenarios/201102_battleOverGermany/pics/frame2/014-chasedOut-Image-0021.jpg)

I decided to make a run on the bombers while I dove out so as to accomplish at least something rather than just fleeing for my life.  Examining the formation, I saw one straggler well to the rear of the pack.  "Maybe an inexperienced pilot.  I'll go for him," I thought.
(http://electraforge.com/brooke/flightsims/scenarios/201102_battleOverGermany/pics/frame2/015-goForIt-Image-0024.jpg)

I lined up and started hitting him, aiming for the right wing.
(http://electraforge.com/brooke/flightsims/scenarios/201102_battleOverGermany/pics/frame2/016-hits-Image-0025.jpg)

But once inside about 500 yards, an expertly aimed burst of fire nearly instantly removes my left wing.

I was getting ballsy flying a P-39 (the 37mm version) and hadn't had much success with making the cannon rounds connect with anything. Finally, after 3-4 sorties and only 2 kills, I rtb a bit frustrated. As I'm landing, someone else (a friendly) is rolling off the runway I'm landing at. I decided to shoot a 37mm at them, as I had several bad sorties and I knew I'd never hit them.

I raised the nose several degrees and lobbed a single 37mm round at them right as their distance marker read 1.0k and BOOM! Direct hit... and I exploded.

At that point, I wasn't sure whether to be pissed or proud of myself.

I guess one of my best deaths was in a C47.  The strats were hit hard and another guy and myself was doing resup runs.  I look over and there's an enemy pony inbound.  I call a warning to the other guy but the pony stradles up and sends him to heaven.  Three options... ignore and die, run and die, or engage...

I pulled my C47 around and slotted neatly on to the pony's six.  This guy then goes beserk trying to shake me, and I'm pulling my beastie around hearing everything creak laughing my head off glued to his tail.  Suddenly the guy finally does a split S,  I roll over and follow, only to realise that my radius was somewhat bigger than the pony's and the ground somewhat closer.  I hit the ground square and end up back in the tower.  Chatting to the pony pilot after he says "I could tell you were enjoying that!".

The first time I upped a 262, I figured it would be a great idea to take off from a rearward base and test it out before bringing it into a combat zone. So, I start my engine, throttle up, start rolling when all of a sudden I see three gray streaks in the corner of my eye and BAM! Back in tower. That's right, I got vulched in a 262 by a CV Gun.

I was RTB with 8 scalps in my A8 coming around on final approach  :airplane: . QcareCH had just logged in and was waiting on me in the tower to land so we could wing together. I extend my flaps and landing gear. The base is clear and no one is around. All of a sudden, Q starts rambling off crazy, things.....not one single thing.....but a slew of things. He ended up making me laugh so hard I drove the nose of my beloved A8 right onto the runway. Needless to say, my plane exploded and I found myself back in the tower shaking my head  :bhead .....still laughing with tears in my eyes. Then Q pipes in....."dammit Doc! What did you do?!?!" Still laughing I replied " you got me laughing so hard I augured!" He started laughing and then I finished by saying  "with 8 kills!!" Q's reply (classic) "omg Doc, you're fired!"  :rofl :rofl :rofl

Years ago when I flew a K4 was fighting someone and this arado 234 keeps swooping in to the fight 'I think' he is trying to use his rear gun on each pass as I am fighting this guy, no big deal I think its a bomber, so I win the fight with the other guy and start to head for home, but the arado is still hovering around behind me, I know hes got no guns on the front so I'm not worried.

I am watching him shaking my head thinking theres no chance this guy will shoot me down then as I watch him hovering above me he does what I can only describe as sit on me, I sit there eyes agog wondering what the hell hes playing at and very slowly and deliberately he gets closer and closer then jabs the plane into me, I get the you have collided message (I never moved  :bhead) and I go down plop!  :rofl Grizz has shot you down, he sat on me and got the kill  :bhead

This happened a few hours ago, and I know this is supposed to be about one of your OWN deaths, but I already posted about that. Anyway... This persons death had me laughing for about 5 minutes.

I was taking off from an airfield pretty zoned out, just logged on and all, when I put on my headset and I hear a plane. Immediately I check my 6, and theres a pony about 600 away from me going about 500mph! Naturally I freak out and enter a spin at about 100 feet of altitude, tracers are flying passed me, no pings tho! I recover from my spin inches from the ground and I hear a big explosion!

I look at my text buffer and it reads, "You shot down Aimbot #1"     :rofl

If I recall correctly, ages and ages ago (Probably almost 2 years ago?) we had a fight that was and still is my record for my longest fight. I think it was 109G6's and it lasted 18 minutes or so, I do not have the film any more seeing as AH has been uninstalled and reinstalled numerous times since then, but I do still remember it :aok

If I remember right it was literally 18 minutes of just rolling scissors :lol

I cannot remember well, but it has been 2 years since the last time i was dueling in g6s. 18 mins + the takeoff is about the time when a a half tank of fuel drains on wep in the 109g, so not sure if any of us have even lost or we just ran out of fuel while tailwhipping left n right

Don't be afraid. I can stand elucidation if you can stand delivering it. 

Why would someone scissor for 18 minutes if they had any other option? Why would it take 18 minutes if either could get a decent solution? Who would have the advantage with more/less fuel? Having said that, if it's his fave 'death' so be it. This is a rather objective discussion.  :D

Because there isn't another option once the kind of 'rolling scissor' they are talking about becomes established, it's instadeath™© to try and break out of it. And it is highly likely to develop as the fight proceeds with two sticks at their level.

The fact they sustained it for 18 minutes is an indication of how closely matched they were on that day and bear in mind that they take turns narrowly escaping death once each per iteration. Debrody gets an awful lot of negative attention on this forum but whatever else you say about him he is / was a very skilled proponent of ACM. And Redbull, well have you ever dueled him? I'd recommend asking him politely once just for the experience.

So it's more like 'you're actually right Arlo but I don't like the way you posted it?' Well, thanks for that. I stand almost corrected.  :D

No you weren't right because you were implying it was a stupid choice when another option was available.

Shida,
he has no clue about what he have said or what "18 mins of scissors" means from RedBull's mouth. Also its clear that he have never seen Reds flying - that Golden Kid is playing in an other dimension. Arlo is just looking for another smartarse comment to annoy us. How low one can sink.

All manner of fights are available in AH, either in game on on the forum.  :salute

I don't agree with what you posted. I think a surface scan of my reply is doing yourself a shortage, if indeed you really are interested in elucidation about ACM. If it is as Debrody says and you are just trying to be annoying then I'll be happy to let it go.

18 minutes of rolling scissors just tells me you were both out of moves/options (and had too much fuel).  :D

I cannot remember well, but it has been 2 years since the last time i was dueling in g6s. 18 mins + the takeoff is about the time when a a half tank of fuel drains on wep in the 109g, so not sure if any of us have even lost or we just ran out of fuel while tailwhipping left n right
 :aok

Because there isn't another option once the kind of 'rolling scissor' they are talking about becomes established, it's instadeath™© to try and break out of it. And it is highly likely to develop as the fight proceeds with two sticks at their level.

The fact they sustained it for 18 minutes is an indication of how closely matched they were on that day and bear in mind that they take turns narrowly escaping death once each per iteration. Debrody gets an awful lot of negative attention on this forum but whatever else you say about him he is / was a very skilled proponent of ACM. And Redbull, well have you ever dueled him? I'd recommend asking him politely once just for the experience.

Apparently one doesn't need to like or respect someone to agree (even accidentally). Nor does one need to hate or disrespect one to disagree (is this or is this not your position)? But lying to one's self (by gravitating toward reading into someone else's post something you wanted to see in order to justify your feelings about them) in public seems counterproductive toward the latter, mate. Savvy?  :D

I'll give you another pass on your misconception.  :cheers:

How does your failure to understand the subtlety of our disagreement equate to my lying to myself. I see we got here:

ego-filled argument full of logical fallacy and personal insult

Very quickly. I responded to this with a sincere explanation of an advanced form of ACM of which you are apparently unable to grasp and are ignorant of:-

Don't be afraid. I can stand elucidation if you can stand delivering it. 

So you didn't want elucidation at all, this was just a standard trap to bicker on the forum.

Yeah at this point I'm likely to devote energy explaining knowledge I've spent years accumulating to someone who has already called me a liar once and is telling me and everyone else what I'm thinking and feeling at every point. You had your chance but you'd rather get your jollies bickering instead being civil to learn something about ACM in an air combat simulation. Stay ignorant, I like you that way.

Ummmm no. I didn't turn it into any of the sort. I made an observation about 18 minutes of rolling scissors which others appeared to think was an opportunity to challenge what I know by agreeing with me repeatedly (then attempting a rather crude yet amusing pile-on). Would you like a Mulligan, sir?

Yes I know you think you know.

Let me ask you a very simple and direct agenda-free question: have you ever dueled Debrody or Redbull?

I don't know what a Mulligan is but given your track record I'm leaning on the decline side of the weighing scales. Would you like a 20-mm enema?

Oh .... yeah .... you're not in this on an emotional level at all.  ;)

I'm noticing Redbull doesn't seem nearly as offended or threatened as the lot of yas (granted, based on merely his lack of participation the hoo-hah dance you, Deb and Triton ran gloriously into). Could be because he and I have no history nor does he hold on to issues derived from feeling slighted on the forum (or in the arena, for that matter). No, I haven't dueled RB or Deb. So, by dueling them ..... maybe even you and Triton .... I suppose Redbull's honor (and, by association, you three) is served somehow and the perceived slight righted (and it proves I don't know what an 18 minute rolling scissor session is). And when next we meet, be it on the forum, in the arena or even in person, at a con or somewhere, there will be no ruffled feathers right from the get-go.

You certainly seem to have an inflated opinion about the respect you have for others versus mine, it seems. But then, such is your prerogative.

A 'Mulligan' is a freebie in golf.  :D

To Redbull: No offense.  :)

You are very strange. This has nothing to do with offense, threat, history or any of these other misconceptions you seem to be creating. I'm not defending Redbull's honour, this started out as a technical issue which you perverted into a forum ego battle.

I asked you if you'd dueled Redbull not to serve honour but to imply you don't know what you're talking about technically.

A bit oversensitive to being challenged and emotional yourself it seems to me.

So, technically (no emotion on your part, no reading into what I post) my statement about 18 minutes of rolling scissors meaning all other options were expended and that a lot of fuel was burnt is wrong because I haven't dueled Redbull or Debrody yet.

I fully admit it ..... there's something so deep and zen-like about your position that it is truly beyond my reckoning. Please forgive me. You are the rock, I am the water.  :D
