Title: First great evening
Post by: nrshida on September 14, 2022, 01:33:04 PM
Just had some of the first good fights of my resubscription. Largely thanks to my old friend from the Furball lake TheStig. Also Kool and Techn9ne really classy fellows. Just need to run into a few like-minded folk to have great fun. Intense ACM on the deck, white-kuckle flying, plenty of triggers not pressed to prolong the fights and the reversal and easy kill of the odd ubernoob who thought there was an easy kill to pad their score with. Excellent.

Man I did miss that place. Up, die, who cares? Up again go pick a fight or two and land a couple? Who cares? It was all about the fight and I LOVED it.

You guys ever go into WWI arena? That place is a blast. I forgot what night, but some CO was in there once a week in the early evening. Anyone who shows up just equalizes sides and starts fighting. No one chases you if you're RTB and they let you up first.
It's fun because the fights are great and you don't have to fly more than 2 minutes to get back into the furball.
A lot of fun flying those planes and redlining the engines, and pushing the g limits until you hear the stress on the toothpicks and tissue paper. :)

It isn't the WWI arena per se, but twice a year (typically around New Years and 4th of July) we do a WWI Combat Challenge (Somme terrain if you want to check it out). Typically get about 20 per side for a while. Furballs, airspawns, quick fights. It's really a blast. I made a quick video I believe when we did the New Year 2020/2021 running. It highlights some of the carnage quite well. :)

Same here. It didn't die off the way HiTech concluded it did. There were other reasons that if you lived there - as I did - you knew about. Did I know you over there? Different Timezone maybe.

:rock That's how people got to their best. Now the opportunity is narrow.

Me too my friend. How have you been keeping? It was something both Bixby & Violator said made me come back. With the present player disposition it can be a bit like the furball lake, just with a bit more running away.
