I miss the good old days

[FT_Animal]

1st,

Humble is my only ID ever in AW from 94 till I left to come here in 99...whatever else I am a "shade" isnt one of them. I'm also not protecting Mark in anyway. He can be an infuriating oscar and I'd love to smack him from one side of the DA to the other more often then not....cept I can't . The truth is he's a great guy under his "persona" and an absolute joy to cross props with...so I ignore him when I "need" to and enjoy the fights when I'm up for it.

Mark is elite, very few (less then2-3%?) sticks can hang with him on a regular basis IMO. Alot of the smack talkers do it from 15k or with 15 friendlies. When I run into Mark he's more often then not under 10K and already engaged in a 1 on 2 or 3. If I know its him I'll back off and wait for the carnage to end. More often then not skyrock will come out still flying and then he'll beat the snot out of me and go home. I'd rather lose to him (or a host of others) then pick a guy outnumbered.

Mark already has the respect of the vast majority of the "non quake" seasoned sticks who dispise the milk running, digital dirt grabbing, generally skilless level of gameplay we've been reduced to. As urchin and others have commented many of us have rebeled in our own way. Personally I've flown the A-20 as my primary ride for over 6 months to aleviate the combination of boredom, aggrevation and overwhelming dweebery rampant in the MA. Now none of this is ment as an attack on any one individual but the collective whole. While you berate a past populated with strong (and sometimes offensive) personalities and skill sets I miss it dearly. I'd rather have a 100 skyrocks then the 300+ mostly faceless members of the alliance of the month.



 

I appreciate your briefings, and I am listening. He just hasn't impressed me any. Thanks for the heads up, but he's going to have to do a lot more then win DA fights and shoot his mouth off to impress me. But then I don't expect him to go out of his way to impress and old hat like me anyway. <shrug> <S>. Point taken.

I look at it this way.  I can get into a fight in less than 5 minutes.  Granted, it typically won't be a 1v1 fight, but I can fly a Spit or La and fight 3 or 4 on one and at least have fun.  When I am getting more 1v1 or 1v2s I can fly something a little more challenging, and still have fun. 

The most important thing is I'm usually having fun - which I rarely have in any of the mishun-based arenas.

Personally I enjoy 2-3 fighters on me, it's the BIG challenge. When you can pull out of that no DA or 1-1 can top that.

LOL not working, when you grow up and act above the age of 10 let me know. I don't need someone like you to tell me anything I already know. you won't be teaching me anything I already know. It may be your first BBQ but I've been roasting pigs for quite awhile. There's nothing new in you i haven't seen before. You resemble Ramul, Brat, and Homer. I laughed at them too,...many years ago. Trust me, there's nothiung new here but the spelling of the ID.

Here's you hook back,.... next time put a barb on it.

Have a good day squeaky,... (squeeze-squeak, squeeze-squeak)

Me bets I could keep you going like this for months.

I'd say you've been kept going for about 4 posts in a row!     Oh, by the way, not even in your best ride, on your best day, in the best month, of your best year, could you beat me in any ride!  Just face it, I own you, sorry!

[FT_Animal]

You're to easy!    Anytime you want to stop spewing garbage and back up your talk, just ask me to the DA.  After I slap you silly, I will tell you where you should have:  chopped throttle, raised left wing, rolled instead of immeled, and so on!  Step up to the plate and get off your high-horse, your owner awaits you! 

PS  Did I mention you are 2 easy?   

PS2   SkyRock<-------owns Animl!!!!!!!

 

I forgot to mention, you can only own me if being here is to be the very best pilot that ever existed was my goal. I'm not interested in that, been there, done that, have the 100 t-shirts. You only own me if it bothers me that you shot me down. It doesn't, it won't, therefore you can *never* own me no matter how much you try or win. You can only own me if I fail at not wanting you to own me. I really don't care, and most likely never will. I got over myself a long time ago.

Ramul, Brat, and Homer. I laughed at them too,...many years ago.

Geez, I hadn't thought about Brat in ages. COD...the Top Gunz troll just drove him up the freakin wall!!!! Whadda HOOT!!!!!

[RedTop]

The old days are gone.....they will never come back no matter how much the older vets here want them to. (me being one). <S>'s will continue to be further and further between. Ho's will always be the first shot taken by 95 percent of the player base now. Steam rolling with numbers and hording for score will be the norm from now on. The honor of the fight....the skill by both players shown by a few kind words afterwards win or lose will die out all together soon. Pretty much has really. Name calling....belittleing others...making yourself feel good by being a jerk to others....normal gameplay.

It's not AH1....It's not even the AHII that started out pretty much like AHI finished.

Quake rules....

Good luck !!!!

I must admit I got a good chuckle from this thread.We didn't have as much crap on the 200 type channel in AW.I believe their were more honorable characters in the FR arena.I can just hear Skyrock after being picked by the D9 master PAL.Better yet Skyrock locking horns with 9bal in F4u's.What a name calling episode that would be.With AH bringing in the younger one person shooter type,there had to be a loss of common decency.Going back to AW,a lot of squads held a tight reign on their members behavior.A lot of the stuff happening on 200 just plain wouldn't fly.Skyrock,and a lot of his wannabe's wouldn't have been allowed in my squad,our a lot of others because of their immature behavior.My old skipper <RF> would have been proud of me when I let a crippled F6 rtb.It was the right thing to do.You don't see that much anymore.

Remember in AW how you would get engaged with someone and they would start smoking and you gave a <S> and let them go home?Alotta the quake types playing wouldnt understand that.It wasnt about the kill.It was all about the fight in the old days.The days of Air Warrior.Now I find myself wondering if this guy in front of me is gonna give me a face shot.Should I dive down up both giving him a snapshot at me?Should I give him a shot in the face myself?
  I had several if not many fights with Nomde.Him his 47 me my 109.All straight up legit fights and we more often than not both ended up smoking and calling it a fight so we could rtb.Hell he called off 2 guys from his country one time so I could rtb.That kinda honor has gone.Now its smack talking tards that belittle people nightly on 200 thumping their chests and calling everyone else dweebs."Go to the DA now your your a wuss" I see this so often it makes me wanna puke.The prevailing attitudes in AH has damaged the game.I was gone for around a year and decided to come back.Man this place has changed in a year.My % of giving a HO has tripled due to the fact thats all I get anymore.I cant wait till CT comes out.I'll live there.
 I miss my old game.I wish there was a way to make it come back.

I know what you mean, I got into a bit of trouble with the squad because I took down a F4U-1c in my P-39D (wanting the super perkies), some noob started following it down and shooting at it, just out of P/Oed reaction, I yelled into the mic, "Hey you little jack arse, get the hell off of my kill you little salamander!!" Course I picked a bad time to yell it, and after getting 3 killz stolen from me, I got yelled at by like 2 squadies, the rest thought it was funny 

P.S. I'venever had what you had happen to you. I've had like 6 kills and just pleaded to the guy on 200 to let meh go home, I got my kills, and he would just keep following me. At one point, I ended up killing him and on the runway, a 262 comes in and vulches me, it was him!! 

[SkyRock]

Skyrock, wouldn't have been allowed in my squad
IronDog

  You would not fit in my squad either, just saying!    We tend to like fighting, owning, calling out dweebs, owning, baiting nostalgic AW tards, owning, slapping the crap out of blow-hard toolshedders, teaching, enlightening, raising the bar, owning, smack talking, laughing, owning, and generally owning!  You got it?

Well then you got what you deserved for killing a guy that let you rtb...
