Title: Player Lives?
Post by: mason22 on January 28, 2003, 02:20:39 PM

What is (if any yet) the basic guideline on how a player being shot down, bailed out, ditched, etc will be handled?

If you die, i assume you get reset back to ground zero?

Any bonus for having squadron affiliation?

I believe that it was already described elsewhere that you would get points for successfully completing missions, and would be docked points for getting captured or killed, or for failing to complete your mission. As your point total rose and fell, you would be promoted or demoted; if your total fell to zero, you would have to go through the flight training process again to be recommissioned.

Sheep were used extensively in Britain as cheap lawnmowers for airbases.

In the beginning, there was AW.  Shortly after, people started getting shot down by other people and "Hate" was born in online games.

Then, a particularly hate-filled individual, with the handle of 'Doktor Gonzo', proclaimed that a certain squadron (which he hated very, very much), were a bunch of sheep molestors, or that they were the offspring of said unnatural act.  

Over the years, this accusation spread, first to members of the AW country known as 'C-land', then to all Air Warriors in general.  When former AW players went on to create games like WB, WW2OL, and AH, they kept this tradition alive.

Check out this link.  I know that technically it is a goat in the picture, but you get the idea.

p.s.  I hope the penalty for death in AH2 isn't too great, major clashes of forces in AH usually have very low survival rates.  Back on topic :p
