Title: I feel honored...
Post by: Midnight on May 28, 2002, 03:43:33 PM
To be in the same league as the Arabian Knights. (See locked thread)

The other day in the MA, some bish and/or knight players were reffering to my squad as the "Runco Bangstangs"

It's nice to have the squad so infamous that others have to start making up names to try and repair their damaged egos. I guess once they get shot down once too many times, they have to revert to name calling :p

The highest honor I ever got was being accused of cheating because I shot the soggy butt down when he bounced me.

Happened along time ago, but it still makes me feel all warm and fuzzy.

To borrow (and mutilate) a line from Conan:

The best thing: to crush your enemy, and hear the whine of their women   :p

I loved the convo Midnight was havin on channel 1 last night:

unnamed dead guy: Nice Midnight, waited till I was out of gas.

unnamed dead guy: why did you run so long?

Midnight: So you would run out of gas (fool - implied but not said)

unnamed dead guy: You must be proud

Midnight: Uh. yeah.

There was more, but it would have been a WoW if it were posted here.

Yup.  Nothing like having some guy chase you long enough for his engine to quit after damage or his fuel runs out.  Their whining just makes it all the more sweeter when you turn around and kill him as he ditches. :D

For a pony pilot endurance is a weapon.  All the dweebs who up a plane with 25% fuel just better learn to live with it.  ;)

90% of you pony dweebs couldn't ACM your way out of an air castle if you didn't have 5 wingys using propwash to clear a path.

:rolleyes:

gee shane and you are tired of getting shot down by a pack of 51's or a pack of any plane? doesn't matter - if you are alone you are toast - so take it somewhere else :)

I always have a wingman with me...you should too

I fought shane last night, twice, 1v1 for the first time...I lost.

Now it's true, I underestimated him the first time thinking that he was a newbie and that I could handle him easily...I was wrong.

The second encounter he was my 6 slightly lower at 2.2k when I made my move...I died again.

I have never been a good 1v1 turnfighter, but I'm not that bad either...truth of the matter is, as much as it pains me to say it, he flies the pony very well:)

I'll see ya up again and will give ya a better fight next time...I promise:)

Oh yeah....Midnight, blow it off. Let em whine like the girlscouts they are:)

The 13th TAS still gets accused of flying at 25k...while some whine, we are busy killin folks at 2k. Who cares what they say anyway as long as they are dead and we're still flyin:)

heheh was fun...  don't take my smack personally, tho' it's all game talk.  ;)

i try to dispel the myth that ponys only run.  i'm a tnb-er by nature, only took up the pony to catch runners, and damned if it doesn't handle very nicely.

stangfires rule!!

Shane wears dweeb camoflauge... When you're fly along and you see a low Pony turning, you figure it's a dweeb, and 9 times out of 10, it is. But that 1 out of 10 times, Shane uses your assumption to kick your ass. By the time you realise that they guy in the deckflounder isn't a 2 weeker, he's usually on your 6.  I think Shane has only shot me down twice, but I remember each time and it pisses me off lol.

It's remarkable how well that tactic works.  I find the key to drawing in many a higher, faster attacker in anything from La7s to N1Ks to Spits to P-51s is to play dumb.  They'll commit to doing stupid things in order to secure the quick 'n easy kill, and that's when you reel 'em in.

Assume nothing.  :)

I was thinking the same thing, it does have a nice ring to it  :)

If you get jumped by a group of anything unexpectedly.

You need to get some SA.  

I could see missing one plane sneaking in to attack....
