So there are some names I've never seen before but the sticks behind the name are a good fight....my question is are any of these old players returning or maybe some people coming from another game?
Mage, Chooka, Plinko, Axer, Dexter, Ezkiel....there are more, just don't remember the names.
I know the last two are just trolls but the first 3 are good, Plinko is a good fight and very respectful on 200...think I remember reading somewhere he is LJ's dad.
Some may say who cares??? I just want to know if some of the "old war horses" are coming back(maybe don't want anyone to see them knock the rust off) or is this a new generation of virtual fighter pilot hero's forming.
Oh and is MtnMan actually back or did someone snag up his name???? Couldn't tell because he didn't type or talk at all.

I know the answer to this one. MtnMan's boy is flying under his name. It was all over the airwaves Monday night.

Oh ya, Axer isn't a shade, he's been around on and off for years. Back in the day he was pretty good. A Tempy pilot if I recall... Made #1 fighter frequently http://www.hitechcreations.com/company-info/news/75-archive/1007-news-from-february-2008 (http://www.hitechcreations.com/company-info/news/75-archive/1007-news-from-february-2008). Pretty sure Dexter is his son....

Ezekiel, comes off as a 2 weeker noob in the DA, but laser gunsight in buffs :noid
-
must be 999000 in disguise!!!

So they are the actual ones? Good to see them back if so..
-

Ahhhhhh. Don't say that out loud. Three times and he appears and then everybody dies... :bolt:
-
AXER is definitely an old hand. he runs at the first sign of a fight. immediately jumps into a gang. so he must be a veteran player.

Lots play that way. It's almost as if deaths are real, and planes weren't free. I would rather die sweating from a good fight, or get a reversal than run at the first sight of a red icon co alt and higher.
In the end, it's his $15. That being said, if everyone fought like that, it would be a pretty boring game. I still haven't seen a point value or an award on the HTC home page that said "Avoided the most combat". <shrug>
-
Mage has been around a long time as well. He is also one of those guys who has flown real fighter sorties as well

he went by the name of angrybrd
-
Chooka is a good 109 pilot too - he killed me while I was afk on climbout, but I ran into him later last night - very similar moves to another good 109 pilot, but since that particular pilot has something to say EVERY time he dies, and Chooka is silent, I doubt it's him shading, and just another 109 pilot with experience and likes the same E bleeding/overshoot maneuver.
-
he's a really good pilot. killed him earlier, needed 2 friends.

Ok you caught me... Pipz is my shade...
-
Ask them, if they want to be known they will be known.
-
Awe, Junky getting paranoid? Well, if you run into PorkyPig, that's me. And, DickWeed. Oh, and 1CASPER1. Wait a minute, I recently added Calypso too. :neener: :airplane: :neener: :rofl :rofl :rofl :rofl
By the way, all the names/accounts are in my sig.

No, he's nowhere close to that good.

It's not paranoia, more just interested if the population is going up again with AH3 getting close....Plus I am competitive and would like to test my skills against a bunch of old timers I've only ever read about :aok

People who "shade", do it for ridiculous reasons that reflect badly on their character. Don't get me wrong, multiple accounts are totally cool and totally different from "shade" (see 1MADDOG1's post). It's called "Online Disinhibition Effect"... for a quick and easy definition, see "Antisocial Personality Disorder". They're known to guard their secret carefully.
-
I have a shade, and I think im a pretty good character. I have it to help support htc and the game and so I can fly "not as me". I'm not anti-social, in fact, quite the opposite, most times you cant shut me up. I only fly one account at a time, and I don't give away "chess piece secrets" if you will. I'm not quite sure why I'm defending it, but there you have it.
actually I wingman waystin2 and take pictures of him and his sheep while he's not looking :D
I also pay for a few accounts for players that cant afford it..... is that a problem too? or does that count as too many shades?
-
Whenever I see PorkyPig on I make sure I go to that area, cracks me up on range :rofl
-
I feel I may be on the fringe here, and I'll admit I can't really say much as I haven't played for any regular amount of time in I don't know how long. I'll pop in here and there, fly a few sorties. Once upon a time, handles were part of the fun, but the game grew to meet the new era. Since flying an account with a high score became a risk for those obsessed with the scoring system on something bordering addiction, having second or third accounts became typical.
Then, at what seems to me came after the announcement that the combat tour(if memory serves that's what it was called) was being dissolved, what should have been a new beginning, for me was the beginning of the end. Development slowed to a snails pace. Corporate politics found it's teeth sank firmly and the invasion came. This led to a fracture in the community, and the high-lighting of how it was falling behind technologically.
The dominant personalities of ole (Shane, FDB's etc.,) we all lament about like a cantankerous slobber donkey/kastrati you couldn't help but love it, if even only for a while. Started to leave. The people who nurtured the game's development from early on started moving on to other things. As the player base grew, it became harder to stand out from the crowd. So, the few personalities that remained added color more than character to the game.
Having said all that, some of my longest friendships have been with people I met playing AH. And that is what makes the current state of affairs all the more tragic. The lack of comprehension, understanding or perhaps even give a damn of online communities within the very companies that create the games is appalling. In online gaming, the players ARE the game. The product that they use to play is just the vessel, the medium. I sincerely hope some day, more game companies will along that understands this like the HTC crew does.

Ya if it's the same Mage, he's been around a long long time.

is mage the one from aw? the one that always reset the arenas when the Az's were wining?

lol
thanks Semp tough day I needed a good laugh, I'll have to check the label on my old hat I think it was the 1999? AW Con in Indy that Jordi put on, Mute and I went and met the crew, Mage as well, if that's the same one he would have to be in his late 60's early 70's?
-
I made a shade once. I was called skyyr by many.
The paranoia is real.
-

You wouldn't know, hanging from your parachute. :rofl

I had an epic mutual death fight with Chooka. He was actually in a d-9 at the time. It reminded me of fighting Sawzaw in a d-9, only, frankly, better. In any case, it was a long fight and we both died. I'm ashamed to say that I was in a g-14 and, despite having his 6 most of the fight, he managed to pop me near the end. It looked like he was using the roll to pull high, almost like a yo-yo, then kick rudder. I had hit him several times and got the kill message as I hit the chute. I'm not sure if I hit him on the last burst or what. However, I was flying as a shade to my normal account and, I note, that shade earned, some time around then, an achievement for a kill with the .45... and I still don't know how for certain. Bottom line: he's a fun one.
I bought a shade account because I'm flying two stations right now, all for the purpose of having a home "Virtual Flight Arena". It's a fun thing. This second station is set up in front of a big screen and that fight actually had an audience viewing it, though it was only 1 person. Cheap entertainment...

I don't think there's much spying going on. I can remember when Jayro would up an mission and 3 or 4 jets would be there at takeoff.

The funny part is sometimes we still achieved our goal lol

I understand what you are saying Estes.
Those are my observations exactly <S>

Yep, I'm back.
I'm awful rusty and I'm not sure whether I'm back for the long haul or not, but I'm back...

I'm a shade of a shade of a shade of a shade. :neener:

Welcome back :salute

Chooka is not Sawzaw....

Chooka is not Sawzaw....
Most 109 pilots have similar flying styles...natural some suspect it.

I shaded one time. I ended up keeping the name :devil

From my encounter with you I'd say your doing just fine :cheers: :salute

You're a real man. Every time I see you I turn you into a smoking hole.

I always suspected Semp was a shade. The unique dialect was a give away! :old:

Bumped into Allison last weekend, another one back :aok

I counted at least 50
50 Shades of Grey...

Since when? I don't recall even running in to you.

I think he thinks you are Bear69 or Bear## that isn't 76

Ya, it's a ongoing joke in our squad about me getting confused with him. Mostly hoing accusations.
-
I would assume from the handle that Chooka is an Aussie if that narrows it down a bit for you.
-
I am not a shade because that would imply that I am kicking donut under a new name and that is not the case. I did play on and off from 2004 to 2010 as Brentlo. Didn't bother trying to get my old name unlocked.
I only posted because apparently Vandal not Vandals etc has been used by others in the past and I am not them.
-
how do these players end up accidentally acquiring cpids from previous players so easily? :uhoh
-
Its confusing to some that I'm puller here and pullerII in game...but every time I .testid for puller its always taken...I haven't been able to use it since like 07 :noid

This reminds me of back in the day. I had a friend who always seemed to be dating big women. I asked about that on time and all he said was protection.
Well some time layer a bunch of us were at the beach. We were all talking about how hot it was. Well that is when I looked over at my buddy and realized he is laying in his girlfriends shade. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh protection from heat and the sun.
He was all grinning till some folks came running up and grabbed his girlfriend. They started rolling her towards the water chanting.... save the whales.
My friend walks over to me and says... and that's why I don't get married.
-
ok shuffler, that's just wrong!!! LOL :rofl :rofl
-
The part he didn't mention, since we've already crossed some kind of a Rubicon of indecency: it was a new fold every night.

Is Plinko Vanscrew, goldelks, or Bipolar! :headscratch:
