Title: Wish these guys luck!
Post by: Nash on August 01, 2003, 04:03:26 PM
I don't know how many of y'all know about this...

Last week the O'Club was paid a visit by a delegation from over at Warbirds, led by one of the trainers there who goes by the handle of 'daddy'.  Sources close to daddy whisper that he recently took a steep fall from a tall ladder - landing squarely on his head. How else to explain such odd behavior?

He proceeded to round up a group of ten Warbirds pilots, march over here and challenge us AHers to a duel. No, seriously - it's true. It's a best of five rounds to be flown both in Aces High and Warbirds, over the course of the next two weeks.

Boldly stepping up to meet this challenge, flying rounds 1 & 2 tonight are:

WldThing
Swoop
Octavius
Estes
kbman
Leviathn
g00b
Drex
Shuckins
NathBDP
Gremlin

The most formidable virtual pilots inhabit the skies of Aces High; let there be no doubt. Please do me a favour and wish these gentlemen luck as they set out to prove it!

(oh okay... and daddy and the Warbirds team. Great idea -  it's going to be alotta fun. Best of luck to you guys as well!)

Arena is number limited so the answer to spectators is... no.

I honestly can't see us loosing with that team. There will be hell to pay if you don't though  :D (No pressure) Good luck! though.

Turn your film recorders on please so we can all laugh at the silly mushbirds 'elite' pilots. ;)

Anyone keeping a book on this? Now that that lineup has been revealed I don't think they'll be taking anymore bets.

Good luck lads!

18 WB's guys vs. 11 AHer's...May the gods of war have mercy on the WBer's in either arena. :p

Should be the best "challenge" series I think I have ever seen before.

Its not the players sueing !!! Its the stupid CEO of iEN .
You need to look at the full picture here and get the facts .

So dont take revenge against them (the players), As far as I have seen this is a great friendly compitition between the 2 sims.

And Yes I have been in the arena with the players and I have seen nothing but respect for each other . Big to all that are participating in this to make it happen .

One might argue that they are supporting WB. Their money is going into the coffers of iEN - into the pockets of the CEO over there. That alone might be objectionable to some. Personally I'd withdraw my custom from a company that did something I strongly objected to.

But hey, that's an aside. I like to see a good competition as much as anybody else.

Good luck again guys!

I wouldnt put my $$$ in there either ..but im not gonna hold that against them .( I owned a pinto once too) lol
 I have the feeling that some players may be looking for another sim within the next 12 months or so. (unless something major happens with the management over there)

Absolutely right!  Hey, it's HiTech who is affected and it is he who has given the OK for this duel - why persecute the players?  No point.  This is just as it should be - a friendly match between two rival games.  ;)

Hmmm........

GOD Mode:  I haven't kept up with all the rules.  6 years of WarBirds, rules me out.  One of the CM's would have to agree to attach you.  A CM can attach more than one as I remember.  It might contribute too much confusion for the over all smoothness of the event.

You could ask?

I have nothing against the players but if you support the game/product you support the company
