Last night, some players were complaining on 200 (mostly when they got killed, of course) and I had to remind myself not to engage with their complaints about game play, because some folks just have to vent when they get shot down. So, at the risk of sounding a bit like a fanboy, I decided to write this satirical piece about the game, about taking the good with the bad, ignoring the noise and continuing to have fun!
Whiners Gonna Whine - An Ode to Aces High
by Kingpin
Aces High - sandbox of fun
With many things to do:
Fighters, bombers, tanks and guns
The choice is up to you.
But on 200 or the forum
To this you must resign:
Some kills, no matter how you score 'em,
The whiners gonna whine.
Whether first merge in the face
Or behind their three-nine line,
Or deflection shot from any place,
The whiners gonna whine.
Fight them in a 1v1
Use ACM divine,
Or shoot them with a field gun,
The whiners gonna whine.
Find their goon or kill their tank,
They'll fault the game design.
Finish off their final Lanc?
Whiners gonna whine.
Fly Ponies, Hogs or an LA
Fly 30 ENY
It's not the plane or how you play
The whiners gonna whine.
Bomb their Tiger on concrete
Or flame their '29?
They will never miss a beat.
That whiner's gonna whine!
Aces High - sandbox of fun
With many things to do:
Fighters, bombers, tanks and guns
The choice is up to you.
So many choices in this game,
But here's the bottom line:
Choose to play it your own way,
'Cause whiners gonna whine.
Yesterday I spent several hours with about a half dozen players in the Training Arena, some brand new and some veterans, all of whom said they were having fun and learning something new. That has nothing to do with me, but is a tribute to the detail and diversity of this game. If for some reason you feel you are stagnating (and want to blame it on the game) try thinking of something you've never tried before and give that a go -- there is always something new to discover in Aces High, even in this version! (Imagine how it will be when the new version is finally ready.) And remember, there are always trainers to help you try new things or willing to even just be a target drone.
p.s. I can't believe I actually rhymed the word "forum"!

Very cool, Kingpin. :) <S>
"200"... it's like watching a soap opera when I occasionally tune it; so many
people trying to be "relevant" and failing.
Best, Odd

Another good rhyme for "forum", Arlo! :aok Maybe I should have rhymed with "BBS" instead...
Thanks for the comments, gents. Was hoping it would amuse a little.

Considering the catchiness and popularity of her songs, I guess I'll take that as a compliment!
Given the lighthearted nature of the subject, I was going for something sort of in the vein of Dr. Seuss. I'm not sure how many would have appreciated a sonnet in iambic pentameter -- probably not a quorum (Arlo). ;)

I was hearing it in Sam Jackson's voice in the cadence of "Go the F to Sleep" as I read it. Was highly entertaining.
