So stop running from a fight. :old:

Stick it out, you might learn something other than saving your precious K/D dependant ego.

I've been spending my free time going to bars and trying to pick up chicks with "Hey girl! Did you know I had a 2.5 K/D ratio in Aces High 2?"
It doesn't seem to work. :( :o

And do this in a 109E too !
No one really dies and planes are free...well all you can auger for a small monthly fee anyway :)

Nonono... you're doing it all wrong. Get the girl back to your house. Take her to see your flight setup. Take off into a red horde and kill a bunch of them, then land your 6 or 8 kills. Then turn to her triumphantly and inform her she may have the privilege of servicing you now.

Truth. But you also can't take with you heaps of supposed "honor", accrued while shooting at pixels.
I'm also pretty sure the LAST question any judge or gatekeeper who may exist on the Other Side would ask is "Did you always follow some imaginary and artificial rule code while playing Aces High?". Which is a very good thing for most players, including those who talk about such "codes" the most on this BBS. Otherwise, their eternities could get a bit...torrid. :devil

Not true at all. Those who live a code of honor in a game are much more likely to follow that same code in life, they don't "game the game", their egos are more than likely much less over the top, and they don't RUN AWAY FROM THEIR PROBLEMS! How you act and believe in real life absolutely, without a doubt, is how you play games. If winning is your only source of self esteem, if running away to save your cartoon life is ok with you, you don't
have a positive self image, and yo don't have the gumption to stick it out and solve life problems. You're most likely the one who will take the easy way out, and not take chances. Argue all you want, but words don't change reality.

Really? Have you done side by side testing of this, comparing people's real life to the game? :D I'm thinking not.
The problem is that people make up some non-existent rules in their head, above and beyond anything the creator of the game built in, then when other folks who have never explicitly or tacitly agreed to this rule set in anyway don't follow them the would-be dictators of flying style wish to tar them with the brush of "dishonor". Now this thing is very convenient isn't it, being able to define any playing you don't like as "dishonorable"? Let me play that game: "From now on I am going to fly all sorties in the Val. Anyone flying other speedy, heavily-armed uber rides (Like the HurriI :rofl ) is gaming the game and DISHONORABLE!!! Why? Because I said so!"
It isn't that personal honor isn't important, it is that personal honor is TOO important to be falsely used as a club in association with bull-excrement non-existent "codes" springing from the fevered imaginations of this game's more supercilious players.

On the other hand...
Some of us play the game and like to add a bit immersion to it and pretend we are WWII pilots. Start ourselves out with an objective for that flight. Some of us may have just read a story about a WWII pilot and want to live in his shoes inside this game. There IS a whole historical side to this game for some of us. That side goes far beyond "the fight", the scores, the whines and trash talking. I think this play only for "the fight" chant has been around since the beginning of the game. I read some posts from early on that referred to that playing style as "Air - Quake". I don't believe many of the Air Quake players stick around for very long. This game does not lend itself to that constant, quick action that a game like Quake does. Try as you might.. they only thing that will happen is frustration.

Ok... Do you play any contact sports? If you play football, you never tackle anybody? If you play hockey, you never bodycheck people, right? Because someone who'd do that on the field/rink obviously must do that off the field as well, right? Either that, or your life must be chock full of assault charges what with the random tackling of people on the street. That's the only way it can possibly be, right?
It is a game. The only actual "rules" in this game are what's possible and what's impossible in the game. Nobody loses anything other than pride getting shot down in this game, so why wouldn't you throw everything you have at the opponents?
It's side vs side combat, not an agreed upon duel. That's what the arena is set up for, that is how people should play.
I limit myself by rarely taking the HO because it's stupid to fly into the other guy's guns, and I avoid green hordes unless there's a similarly sized opposing horde we're flying towards. That's my 'code', that I don't intentionally try to put myself on the high numbers side of a gangbang, even though I occasionally wind up there.
Beyond that, I am going to use everything I have at my disposal to kill as many red guys as I can, and I expect them to be doing the same. Anytime I don't jump in on a 1v1 or ask first it's because I choose to, not because it's the 'honorable' thing to do. It's not my fault a loner dove into a sea of red and got slow under me. If it's red, it should be dead.

They are not non-existent rules, they are also known by other names if it will help you..... Class, as in "That guy has class".... Integrity, as in that guy says what he does, and does what he says..... Honest, see integrity...... Reliability, he'll be there whether its in game or not.
These traits show up in the game easily for those who have them OUTSIDE the game. If your a dork outside the game, that most likely will show up in the game as well.
While this is "just a game" the real person shows through far more often than not. I've meet many players over the years and they have all been pretty much exactly just as they were in the game. Unless your playing as a "persona", and well if you are that pretty much answers the question of honor/class right up front.

Take your pick of the ladies lined up and tell her how much bigger everything is back at your place.

Running away from fights to 10 friends or to ack or to extend until the fuel runs dry adds to the quality of gameplay?

Your line of reasoning is essentially "They are not playing the way I want them to! Therefore I will smear them as being classless!" This is INCREDIBLY control-freakish and narcissistic.
I've seen lots of arena messages when I logged into the MA. Haven't seen a single one yet that said "Okay guys, from now on, no HOing, running, or picking." And when I suggested formal rules against such things :D , not a single person voted in favor of them, now did they?
So what you've basically got here is a vocal group of narcissists who don't seem to realize that their complaints are EXACTLY equivalent to some crackpot saying "I don't like bunting in baseball. It is completely allowed by the rules, but I don't like it, therefor it is dishonorable." Some players just make up rules that have neither been instituted by the game creator nor agreed upon by the player population, and then want to say anybody who doesn't follow them is dishonorable? Ridiculous.
I'll play that game a little just to show how ridiculous it is: All sorties must now be flown inverted. If you fly right-side up, you are "gaming the game" for an advantage over those of us who choose to fly inverted, and you're dishonorable! :rofl
Actually that sort of behavior I'm discussing, what is worthy of being labeled utterly classless.
Also, if I assumed everyone was in life as they were in the game, I would pity then anyone who had to deal with someone so whiney, ineffective, and generally unhappy, who thought they were in the right to excoriate anyone who didn't conduct themselves according to that person's every little preference.
See this here? This is classy behavior. Going by past observation, you would have ranted at Coaly on 200 for minutes for his "sin" of picking someone out of a 1v1 fight.

Actually it would be more like this...
Happy Gilmore has the longest drive in the world. But he has no short game, and gets beaten by peeps who do. Therefore he declares that golf should be *entirely* about who can drive the ball the furthest, and that anyone not playing the game by his vision is "dishonorable" and "classless".

You really DO have a problem with reading comprehension don't you? My post had nothing to do with the OP, nor did it have anything to do with how people play the game. I quoted you DIRECTLY ......
The problem is that people make up some non-existent rules in their head, above and beyond anything the creator of the game built in, then when other folks who have never explicitly or tacitly agreed to this rule set in anyway don't follow them the would-be dictators of flying style wish to tar them with the brush of "dishonor"
....and posted about "honor" and "class".
Your film/screen shots certainly DO show a player with some honor, and some class. It wasn't you, but CoalCat showed a lot of class to apologized for picking you. You showed restraint by not blowing up at him for it.
...as for the OP, I don't like how some fly/play the game but I never have said anyone should play the game my way. I do however alway ask, and wonder, if your playing a combat game, why would you run away from combat?

If you are around long enough, and fly against the many different "characters" in the game, along with talking to them in game, on the phone, in person.... It is very easy to see and clarify the qualities and attributes / traits, of that individual....
Now, how one chooses to view and describe the way that individual presents themselves will most times fall in the following categories of either being/having or not!
.those categories are: Character - Integrity - Respectability - Class - Humble/Humility and some people/players would also include Honor
Not every single game player will acknowledge this, but the majorities do! and always have since my very first online experience in the early 90's....
One's true self actually does filter through while they are playing the game or posting on the boards!
Copprhed and Fugi do have some truth to their posts...

You claim people who don't play a game by your preferences, pseudo-"rules" that they've never in any way agreed to fly by and which by no stretch can actually be considered the rules of the game, are dishonorable and classless. In point of fact, in making this silly claim YOU are the one who is dishonorable and classless, as well as pathologically controlling. Honor is too important a thing to be twisted into an excuse for narcissistic whiners to berate other players in an internet game.
Your film/screen shots certainly DO show a player with some honor, and some class. It wasn't you, but CoalCat showed a lot of class to apologized for picking you. You showed restraint by not blowing up at him for it.
If "picking" is wrong then honor and class is shown by not bloody well doing it, not by doing it and then apologizing for it afterwards. But since the notion of picking being "wrong" in a multiple bandit arena is absurd, he had nothing to apologize for, as I informed him. You would have likely gone on one of your patented "someone killed me in an unapproved manner" tirades that anyone who monitors 200 when you fly is familiar with.
-

Absolutely true.
But I can't help but think being habitually unpleasant to other players in-game because they don't live by the particular fantasy-game code some espouse DOES say some things about THEIR character, and these things are not good.

I've been spending my free time going to bars and trying to pick up chicks with "Hey girl! Did you know I had a 2.5 K/D ratio in Aces High 2?"
It doesn't seem to work. :( :o
I once met a real life Hornet pilot and bragged to him that I used to be number one in fighters and attack one tour in Aces High. He wasn't very impressed either.
-
Muzik, please note the fact that my post was talking about actual players "in real life" and comparing it to the way they play/respond in game and on the boards....
Thus the reason I typed only "some truth", which means I was not agreeing completely to each of their posts, only parts of them...

If I understand this whole thread right and played by the rules many seem to think I should, this would be the most boring game in the world. No need for SA if nobody can attack me while I am attacking someone else because that makes them a picker. If I am in a fast plane and I want to take separation away from an A6 during a merge, I might as well just fly 10 feet off his wing because he cannot shoot me, that would be a HO.
Everybody might as well fly Zero's on the deck. Anything else is "Dishonourable".
I am a cartoon pilot, who would like to imagine myself as a real life WW2 pilot, flying to kill the red guy and fighting to stay alive.
I tend to fight to the death, but that is only because death comes so quickly to me. Probably a very good thing I am NOT a real WW2 pilot :x.
All of that said, I also love taking off into the biggest red dar bar on the map, just to see what happens.
I suppose what I am saying here is, if you don't like the way I fly.......I hate that but.....
Oh well :devil

So what you've basically got here is a vocal group of narcissists who don't seem to realize that their complaints are EXACTLY equivalent to some crackpot saying "I don't like bunting in baseball. It is completely allowed by the rules, but I don't like it, therefor it is dishonorable." Some players just make up rules that have neither been instituted by the game creator nor agreed upon by the player population, and then want to say anybody who doesn't follow them is dishonorable? Ridiculous.
I'll play that game a little just to show how ridiculous it is: All sorties must now be flown inverted. If you fly right-side up, you are "gaming the game" for an advantage over those of us who choose to fly inverted, and you're dishonorable! :rofl
Actually that sort of behavior I'm discussing, what is worthy of being labeled utterly classless.
Also, if I assumed everyone was in life as they were in the game, I would pity then anyone who had to deal with someone so whiney, ineffective, and generally unhappy, who thought they were in the right to excoriate anyone who didn't conduct themselves according to that person's every little preference.
See this here? This is classy behavior. Going by past observation, you would have ranted at Coaly on 200 for minutes for his "sin" of picking someone out of a 1v1 fight.

I don't know about you but I am going to have my best tour score engraved on my tomb.
That's the spirit :old:
-
Score? You mean my endless bails? :rofl
-
personally i dont give watermelon about score, i die most of the time with kills on my plane... damn i died many times flying same plane more than 3 hours with lots of kills on it... but
some time its good to take just the single or couple kills you have and land them ...
-

Which significantly improves the k/h part of your score, which is at least as important as k/d. :)
-
I always try to get at least 4 kills before I either land or die. Most of the time when I get 4, if I'm not hurt and there are more badguys around, I'll will try to get at least 6. I've died too many times with 7 or more kills, but I'm just greedy and don't like to land with only 3 kills if I don't have too. Which is why I generally die a lot in the MA but still have a decent K/D

Score/rank is a true measure of a man. The higher the score/rank, the better man you are than some poor low ranked shlub of a lesser man.

So stop running from a fight. :old:
pffft girly men.
Stick it out, you might learn something other than saving your precious K/D dependant ego.
oops, I apologize for helping hijack your thread, Dolby!
but seriously, I never really cared about score.... yes I have messed around to see how the scoring and stats were tallied and to see what was the best course of action to get a higher ranking ( lower # ), but nothing more than that really..
Some do play for score and to get their name on the front page of Aces High website each monthly tour, but if they are having fun that way, who am I to criticize them?
It's all about the fight for me when I am in the MA DA or AvA arenas, and I got to be having fun, if not I would not still be here :aok

To add to this, a long time ago, some of the best players in AW would just auger their planes when they were done shooting down their opponents. More dogfighting for the time spent playing.

I typically lean toward the OPs opinion, but you got a lot to learn about people and life.
It's a fantasy game, it hardly ever reflects real life.
I think his point was how you treat people here would reflect on how you treat people in the real world. I suppose you could argue its easier for the "real" person to show up behind the anonymity of the fantasy cartoon world as thera is no real conseqence for acting like an idiot and doing what you can to talk tough, disrupt and generally try and make those around you have less fun. In the real world the chance of getting you block knocked off is much higher than in AH. I'd suggest that those who act to disrupt in AH don't act that way in the real world knowing that there are real consequences, but that could be more from fear than from who they really are.
I do believe it's fair to say that those who treat people with respect here more than likely are respectful in the real world. I'd also believe they are comfortable with who they are too.

Significantly improving their k/h while still retaining a reasonable k/d and k/s...
Oh the things people do for score.... :old:
:noid

No, it was to save $$$ and spend more time in fights. We used to pay per hour back then!

Some of us did it cause it's what we did best...and with style! :)

Real life seems to be settling and I'm finding I'm paying attention here again. Might just find some time for the old 38G in the not too distant future. Clearly some of these guys are in need of a big slow doesn't care if he dies in his cartoon plane target :)
-
Muzik, please note the fact that my post was talking about actual players "in real life" and comparing it to the way they play/respond in game and on the boards....
Thus the reason I typed only "some truth", which means I was not agreeing completely to each of their posts, only parts of them...
Understood, but I disagree completely with it. You obviously arent making the same comparison he makes.
You are talking about how much of an [wowtheyreallydontwantmetotypethisword] someone is or isn't.
He is equating his cartoon bravery and careless guns blazing charge into fights, with real life responsibility and problem management.
I think his point was how you treat people here would reflect on how you treat people in the real world.
His point was exactly what I just pointed out. He said absolutely nothing about treating people with respect or a lack of it.
I suppose you could argue its easier for the "real" person to show up behind the anonymity of the fantasy cartoon world as thera is no real conseqence for acting like an idiot and doing what you can to talk tough,
That's exactly what you could argue. You could also argue that just because someone happens to know how to act according to an ideal social standard on the webz, doesnt mean you wont see his mugshot on the six oclock news some day.
But again, that's not the point he was making.
thera is no real conseqence for acting like an idiot and doing what you can to talk tough, disrupt and generally try and make those around you have less fun.
Sounds an awful lot like the intent of his comment.
In the real world the chance of getting you block knocked off is much higher than in AH.
And that fact wasn't enough to clue you that his chest thumping might be a little egocentric?
There are or have been real life military and commercial pilots in this game not to mention many other professions that require discipline and maturity. They spend their entire careers pounding careless and risky behaviors out of their psyche. They play how they feel like playing, and I'd lay down money that the majority of them fly like their life depended on it, not like some kid who thinks he's god's gift to flying because he plays a VIDEO GAME and doesn't have a clue how pathetic and worthless his uber reflexes are in split second crisis!
Just saying.

Muzak we clearly read it differently. Not worth debating it to be honest. People will continue to play like they want to. Should I get back in the game look low for a smoking 38G with either guns or engines blazing :)

You can't take your score with you when you die.
Yes you can. That's just a joke the dead play on the living making you think you can't take it with you; sort of like Alt F4.
Imagine the fun!

your score is only good for 30 days. heck most stores give you more time that that.

Oh Deb...its not my suit. It isnt someone else's either. Keep sitting on the sidelines prejudging....its easier for you. :aok

Actually its quite interesting when you get caught on being a tard, instead of staying in silence, youre bringing it up to an other level.
Anyways, you would better run from any cartoon Dora - daddy is coming soon to show a trick or two.
-
Sigh, I can see I have to come back and show people how to die with grace and dignity. Downloading the game now, got a problem with my back, so may not play today, depends how it feels.
Easy kills coming back to the MA's.
Be gentle, I'm very rusty.

Why would I run from a Dora? I fly a 110!
Looking forward to your lessons. I hope you enjoy tater salad... :lol

The fact that you have never tried turning it doesnt mean that a Dora cannot outfly your 110 any day of the week.
