Am I an ack-hugger?

[Lusche]

Yes, I know I am, never denied the fact that I use ack as a ... uhm... "tactical tool" if necessary 

But have I been an ack hugger in this particular episode? http://www.mediafire.com/?sharekey=4b12b5cc24a8b0abc74f70ddb56f9ac856485f8f05165657

I am actually really wondering about it..

Many a toon pilot I have brought down with the help of my friends the ack.

[Warchief]

[Spikes]

LOL...what a tard.

[Reschke]

If you are then so be it...we have all used it to our advantage and been used by it to someone else's advantage. Good grief I hate whiners...myself included!

Ack hugging is a viable solution when other planes/vehicles have a superior position like alt, speed, surprise, hidey-hole, numbers, etc.  Nothing wrong with it whatsoever.  If I had a guarantee that a con or cons would allow me to lift and get co-alt and co-E I would never hug ack.  Anybody receive this guarantee yet?  I have only once been offered this option in almost three years of AH play time, and it was honored.

I agree.
It's just strange when being called ackhugger via PM's and on 200 when you were  a few miles away from any ack. FTD's logic was as follows: "I was at your 6 and your nose was pointed towards your base."

okay, so you were not actually hugging the ack, but your intent, in his opinion, was to go meet it, kiss it & apparently marry it.

I have been on both sides of such an agreement quite a few times...all honored.

I regularly run single flights to bases to get someone to up, and give him time to get alt and E for a nice fight. I'll orbit at 8 or 9K and wait.

Did we meet in one of these engagements???  

Invariably, 5 more cons up just after you have one good fight.  At that point, it's kill them all as fast as possible.

 The ones that really peeve me, are when I orbit and wait for them to get co-everything, that subsequently run to ack when they're in a bad spot.

The name of the game is winning, any mistake you can sucker them into is fair play.

That includes acks, dragging to friendlys, and a whole host of other things.
Amazing the ego's on some folks that refuse to let them see that they made a mistake.
So they have to blame it on someone else.

[BaldEagl]

You're more likely to survive ack hugging than tree hugging.

Whining, complaining, and smack talking: It is the nature of online gaming and because AH does MMO so well we see it in such vast quantities.  I push against it continually.
