I just wanted to take a moment to tip my cap to Silat, Delirium, and the rest of the
Headhunters for the most laughs I've had since I "came back" about three weeks ago.
Though I'm always pWn'd nine ways to Christmas by these guys, I NEVER fail to
explode without cacklin' like an old hyena. They are, to use a hackneyed phrase:
"a great bunch of guys".
They'll fight anyway you want to, own you and then move onto the next guy, and
you're always left saying 'How did he DO that!" The particularly amusing part that
day was that they got so many Rook egos mangled that they singlehandedly
managed to get about 40 guys to "hunt" 'em. At times, I watched a single Headhunter 38
engage 4, 5, or even 6 planes, losing sometimes, but winning most; or seemingly so.
And not a single whine from any of 'em about the gangbang it required to take them
on. Hell, they were laughing about it and havin' fun, which seemed to enrage some
of the humor-challenged among we Rooks.
Accusations of cheating, hacking, etc.. by some whose egos couldn't come to terms with
the fact that they just ain't the top-gun they think they are and who fell to their guns
and superb wingman tactics. Me, I know better. I had the pleasure of flying with Silat a few
years back. It was a wonderful learning experience punctuated by good, hard laughter, wit, and
charm. I've remembered that evening ever since.
In closing, I just want to thank the 80th once again. They're a great band of fellows, and
uber sticks, and they'll kill ya not only with bullets and cannon, but with laughter as well. <S>
