Here's the key to the deal Larry.
This isn't real. It's all about having fun. Avoiding the fight because you 'might' not win, seems silly to me.
As near as I could tell KONG is a better stick then I am, but going into a fight with him was fun even knowing he was probably going to clobber me. That I got him a couple times felt good. But I'm also not afraid of going down in flames because i don't really die and I get a new plane.
What seemed strange was that you avoided the fight. Who cares if you have 'gondies'. How will you ever know what you can do with that plane if you don't try? Could it be that you might have won the fight? Who knows. But avoiding it when there is no real risk and no real death is just silly.
That's why I gave you a hard time. You are a good stick. So what if you die now and then. Have at it, because it's fun and that's what it's all about.
Stats mean nothing as dying means nothing. If 'winning' in a computer game is more important then the fun, the priorities have gotten out of whack.
You could shoot me down a 100 times and it won't matter as long as I gave it my best shot and had fun in the process. I might even get better in my cartoon plane too.
That's part of what us 80th guys are trying to get across. It's why we come in low and look to get bounced if folks won't come down to begin with. EVERY time I die i get a new plane. You just can't beat that deal
