Careful now Nopoop.. we don't want to shatter that fragile shell of self-esteem.  He must have been a real "outcast" in his childhood, if he's still trying to make up for it now.

2 cents here on original posts.

The aren't any invincable osti's - just need 2 planes attacking from different direction. All osti's will blow up nicely. Don't be the only target the osti is shooting at - it increases your chances of getting hit - alot.

As far as osti deflection like in pool?  you shoot at moving targets in pool? you deal with wind speed and rounds arcing in pool? you can get an osti to bounce a round off of some thing to hit a plane? you can get some english on an osti round?

The similarites escape me - but then again that's probably because there aren't any.

Zazen, I sure was on the same page w/ you when you were a D pony pilot.  Watched you improve and enjoyed your enthusiasm for the bird. Felt you had potential to really shine in it.

Then this Gv thing.... to each his own but   ending a mission when a bomb is descending upon you isn't smart. Ending it at that point is gamey to the point of being ghey.

If someone is about to drop a bomb on you, it means they got the egg off before you could kill them and they deserve the kill.

Ending mission under these circumstances isn't smart Zazen, it's poor sportmanship.

When you made a hissy over how little I flew in the MA as compared to you and how many kills I do or don't get there as compared to you did you forget how to check stats for the CT? Wasn't that kinda a misrepresentation? Uhhhh .... uhhhh ....

Yeah ... thought so. But, yaknow .... it didn't bother me enough to rush and correct you now, did it?

Tell me more about how everyone's ego but yours is fragile, scooter.

I have never made any reference to the CT in any way, shape or form. As far as I am concerned it does not exist. All of my discussions are in the context of the MA only. You implying my not including whatever you do in the CT as part of my discussion is taking the whole thread out of context. Noone else but you is discussing the CT. This entire thread was started by someone talking about the MA and what I do in it. Not about whatever you do in the CT, it's entirely immaterial for the purpose of this discussion and not an omission of any kind on my part.

My self-esteem is anything BUT fragile.

Totally wrong, you obviously don't understand the subtlety of the physics in pool. Ever heard of squirt? Heard of throw? Heard of tangent lines? How about masse? Arcing trajectories and angles of deflection are EXACTLY what pool is all about. Before you open your pie hole have a clue wtf you're talking about please, otherwise you're just wasting everyone's valuable time.

Sportsmanship almost as poor as the same person vulching my teammates as they appear as if by magic at a predictable place totally defenseless?

Is this supposed to mean that you've never used a player's stats to attack their character or to try to vainly prove a point and you feel that you deserve the same, somehow? Or are you backpedaling up the offramp vainly looking for a better sideroad?

I'm not sure what you mean by this. But, I often use someone's stats to call them on some BS they are trying to float, if they espouse something that their performance fails to corroborate statistically, then yes, they are going to have to answer for that. What I don't do is totally fabricate some ficticious numbers I pulled out of my bellybutton that are not in actual fact their statistics and therefore are not in any way an indicator of their performance, as Urchin did, to lamely try to pervail in making some obscure point.

Not really, I just take exception to people who talk about things they obviously know absolutely nothing about. Disinformation by the ignorant is not only a waste of time it is also potentially dangerous to the unaware and naive.

What stats should I pull up to call you on THIS bit of BSing then? Because the problem you apparently had with me when you resorted to that tactic was my expressed opinion that ENY whining is just an excuse to beech. Try as I might, I can't find the stats that either corraborate or disprove what either of us are discussing in that regard.

Heaven forbid some unsuspecting AH player's skill at pool suffer from yours being dissed here on the forum.

Tell me about it! If you want to play for some high stakes just let me know. I usually start race to 9, 9 Ball for $1,000.

I have no problem with you per se, other than you post without really saying anything or making a point just for the sake of being argumentative, but hey, whatever floats your boat.
