Yeah, sure.  Sorry but gotta call BS on that one.  Completely ridiculous "bang your own drum" statement.

I don't.

You ever talk to Ghosth?

It is official... as Trainers we cannot express an opinion, nor can we have an IQ higher than average.

No NOE no problem.  If any of you Buff drivers start getting flack about your altitude just direct them to this address.  Top right colum under 448th Sub-Depot (Video from Ridgewell circa 1943-1945)  It will take you to the vids.  1st Video at top of page.  28K

IQ higher than average.

higher than average is one thing, 200 on the wechsler scale is roughly 1 in 1bn. ie. one of the 7 smartest people on earth ... I say roughly, lute is smarter than einstein so he can do the maths for you :D

The game has always been about Aerial Combat.

IIRC I remember some quote from a while ago, I think HT said something along the lines of "this game is all about pissing off the other guy!"

Yes, he did say that but I didn't think he meant it was about HIM pissing off a bunch of his customers.   :noid

One would think that...

on the Flyaceshigh.com Features page was a dead giveaway.


(Edit: good catch.  It says that under Features.  My bad.)

That would be true if 179 was on the Wechsler.

It wasn't.

If you are talking about LWO: There is neither much action on the Knight/Bish front. And Knights are quite outnumbered in the arena too.

that has been the main goal of these games since Air Warrior.

I'm sure you don't mean me. I rarely go above 10K (only during squad night, bombing runs and the like) and all head on merges are guns cold on my end. Unless you open up on me from 1K out with the sole intent of ending the fight here, then I will shoot back.

I think he's referring more to his fighting style than anything else.

I wonder if that clears up your misunderstanding of what I know?


Except Doc was absolutely correct about how the multiple arenas in AW had nothing do with the demise of AW.  The multiple arenas did not have any tangible negative impact on the AW community.
