Title: Lost Points
Post by: Turdboy on November 30, 2002, 10:26:25 PM: Is it normal to lose all your points?

I came in tonight and when I went to check my score it showed that I had NO points.

NONE?!

I've only been flying for a few weeks but I was ranked in the 800s overall now nothing!

Does this happen all the time? If so how do you get enough perk points to fly some of these AC?

Anyone have any advice? (That doesn't involve me shoving anything anywhere)

Some planes cost Money (Perks) for you to be able to fly them.

You get Perks by killing other planes.. The faster way you can get more perks is flying hi number of ENY on each plane...

You can find the ENY of each plane in the Hanger, across from the Plane Selection.

I've never flown anything that needed perks but even if I had I shouldn't lose ALL of them just the ones needed to fly the perked AC.

Post by: Turdboy on December 01, 2002, 02:57:20 PM: OK I just tried to get in the MA and it told me to put in a new name. I used Turdboy again and went into the hangar and ALL my perk points are gone again!!!

One: Why is it asking me to put my callsign back in?

Two:Why am I losing all my Perk Points?

Post by: AKIron on December 01, 2002, 04:34:12 PM: Anytime you change your handle you lose your perks. Since you were instructed to choose a new name that is probably what happened. You may have been required to choose a new name perhaps because your old one was deemed unacceptable? Something like turdboy perhaps?

Post by: Mighty1 on December 02, 2002, 07:24:14 AM: I've seen far worse names than Turdboy so I don't think that is it.

Turdboy maybe you should drop HTC an E-mail to let them know what is up.

I know you have to have had SOME points because I've seen you in the MA landing 7- 8 Kills multiple times.

Post by: Turdboy on December 02, 2002, 09:57:53 AM: Sorry HiTech I just called my ISP and they said they were hacked this weekend but the E-mail should be back up.

Thanks for the response.

Title: Lost Points
Post by: Turdboy on December 02, 2002, 12:49:30 PM: Ok I just got off the phone with HT and it seems the reason why I lost my points is that he want's me to change my callsign because someone complained that my name was too offensive.

Of all the names that are allowed Turdboy offends people?!:confused:

WOW!:(

Seems more like PC BS to me but the man says change it so I will.

Post by: AKIron on December 02, 2002, 01:07:28 PM: or maybe "shitferbrains" :D

in case yer wondering, wasn't me that complained

Post by: Turdboy on December 02, 2002, 01:22:31 PM: AKIRON "shitferbrains" fits but I don't think that would go through either. :D

Turdboy is just a running joke with my kids. I've called my Son Turdboy and my Daughter Turdgirl for years. (Turdlings for both)

Not pissed or anything just thought it wierd that someone who is here killing people day in and day out is so easily offended.

No big deal I guess!
