Fun!!!!

When you encounter "SlapShot" in my virtual cockpit you are really dogfighting with Rich Hoyt ... not some alter-ego that I use to not be me.

The way I treat and react to people is NOT "SlapShot", it's Rich Hoyt ... my flying characteristics, the planes I chose to fly, and who I chose to fly with have nothing to do with "SlapShot" ... it's all Rich Hoyt.

I have been to 2 Cons and have had the opportunity to put faces to names, and I would say ... the people that I met in person ... were no different (personality-wise) than the "named" pilot that I knew in-game.

Here are the ones that I remember the most cause I hung with them the most.

NB
DmdCoach
DmdMax
DmdChief
DmdDano
JB42
JB73
Wax
Phantom
VegasX
Edbert
xbrit

Not one of them surprised me when I met them ... they were exactly what I had expected, and if I were to ever meet AKAK ... I don't think that I would be surprised by his RL personality compared to his online personality.
I believe we hung out in the Bar of the 2003 Con Hotel.   I'm not sure if you were there.   I know Octavius, fdski, Boxboy28, JB42, Rager, Vegas, Wax and I were there and it was great.   Looking back, I wish I wasn't as drunk as was, because you and I didn't really talk much.  

There will be another day to do that though.

Simply put, I do not "act" in real life as I do in AH.  It's really very simple.  If you see me at a con, I will not be introducing myself in any way like this, "Hello, I'm Mark and I own you, twit."  

So why are you concerned over how I portray myself ingame?

I also feel you don’t need a persona to play, and I’d say that 98% of the people in the AH community do not use a persona to play the game.  I also do not see the need for a persona.  But I’ve read all of the post from the beginning, and one thing just stands out to me.  And I am no psychologist, just my observations.  It seems that there is an inherit struggle between “Skyrock” and “Mark”.  “Mark posts typically are well mannered and seem almost genuine, and then there is “Skyrock’s” posts, evil spirited and usually ending in a negative connotation.  IMO I’d rather fly against “Mark”, as I often tell my fiancé, I play this game because I enjoy flying, I’ve always be interested in the WWII generation of planes/tanks, and the people in the community are fantastic, I have flown Bishop from my start, so many of the Rooks and Knights I do not know.  People like BushLT, ThndrEgg, 1yBuzz, the LTARs, the 367th and the Arabian Knights just to name a few that make the game enjoyable.  These are good people and help make the game.  

So with that being said, ditch “Skyrock” and bring in the “Mark” that we’ve heard about over the last couple of days. <>  5PointOh (Nathan)

Indianapolis.   It caused a bunch of whining at the time.   However, it had one of the best attendances, go figure.

I was there ... and yes I hung out at the bar mostly with 38MAW, TMAW, and RedMAW due to the fact that I was in the MAW at the time and the real impetus to attend the con was to meet some squaddies.

Mind you, I had a blast and met all those guys you listed and more ... fdski was a hoot ... another guy, forgot his orginal handle but I knew him most as AHGOD. Man was he fun, and funny guy ... and liked to DRINK.

Loved the guest speaker who came with Curval ... the 'ol British gent that flew the Swordfish in WWII ... man did he have some stories to tell.

Coincidentally there was an article in this morning's local paper detailing a guy in nothern VA who had driven 1200 miles to somewhere in Texas who upon arrival proceeded to  torch the trailer of some guy who had insulted him on some picture sharing forum. The insulter managed to escape with his life suffering from smoke inhalation only.

No matter what ridiculous excuses one can manage to manufacture/rationalize in their heads about "acting", role playing, etc. - there's only one word that occurs to me as regards the individual at the center of this thread and that is pathetic. I'm a little suprised that this thread hasn't been locked or that the "persona" hasn't been tossed from the forum and the game. The fact that neither has happened doesn't reflect very well on HTC imo. Whatever...

That year sucked. I was working in Indy, downtown even, (with a squaddie, ironically), and still couldn't go. A more centrally located con would be nice- doesn't even have to be this far east.
