Title: August 1st is JULY's KOTH date
Post by: BigMax on July 08, 2003, 12:08:43 AM
I know, it's not the correct month and all, but there is a finite number of Fridays in a month and July had a holiday Friday that we decided not to use.  But we will fly two in August to make it up.

For all who have never tried KOTH:

It's the Aces High version of a "cage match"...

THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE!

KOTH-A's 1st ride is the TA-152 courtesy of ManeTMP, our second repeat winner in consecutive months...

Two KOTH wins back to back.
Seems like we should put a BIG Bullseye on him from the get-go instead of waiting until he has two match wins and tries for the ThreePeat.

But thats just my worthless opinion,

They are are always run on the same day... Euro starts at 4PM EST.  Here's the link to the Aces High Calendar! (http://www.hitechcreations.com/forums/calendar.php?s=)

It should make it easier to see what's coming up:cool:

1) If last month's winner is a no show (Swoopy); then the first round will be in 163's

2) There's nothing in Euro land that starts on EST timings, we'll be using 21:00 CET (22:00 BST) over here, as our hours are worth more than US hours at the moment.

3) No one shoots me down and lives. Remember that......

Those times should be the other way around - 2100 BST (UK time) and 2200 CET.....  :)

It's actually 2000 GMT - but as we in Daylight Savings at the moment, we are currently an hour ahead of that (BST=British Summer Time).  That is exactly why I prefer to just say UK time and advertise all our events in Eastern time - though I usually also provide the UK and CET (Central European Time) alternatives too for events held in those timezone-friendy hours.  :)

The first KOTH is usually an eye-opening experience....  I'm sure you are good in it, and look forward to the competition!

Just staying High won't help.  This event is the ultimate test of tactical SA.  It's not just being aware of what's going on, but knowing when to engage and when to wait.  Then, once you do engage, it's far from an outomatic kill just because you get on a guy's 6.  These guys can fly.

More like 30 to 50 people but alt for nonengagement is 10K, so trying to stay hi is not all that effective since everyone not engaged will be at that alt.

lol ive flown almost every KOTH, except one and i know that BnZ wont always work, since people can hunt you down if they just have a couple feet over you..

Even worse is winning two duels makes you the biggest target in the arena, getting chased by 4 guys is NOT fun :D   They will hunt you down sooner or later anyways..

If you want to have any hope at all of winning shoot Wldthing FIRST. Otherwise your just gonna be his chew toy. Then after you kill Wldthing go looking for maneTMP.

 Oh and if you want to have any chance at killing either one of them better wait untill they are engaged. Other wise attacking them will just end up with you dead!

I'd like to make a serious point here.......

KOTH is about fighting.

staying high, staying out of trouble, staying on the sidelines, all that kind of thing leads to one thing and one thing only: ejection.

IF you turn up for the KOTH ( and I should point out that all are welcome); then you'd better turn up with an attitude.

It's for fighter jocks, plain and simple. That's what KOTH is all about.

All forms of fighter tactics are okay....  extended running is prohibitted.  Of course, that's the nice thing about fighting in a canyon, there's no where to run.

& yes

Kill WT, then Mane, then Ice.... :D
