As a Top Gun Member. And one of the first people you met in this game Nrshida. I will level with you.
Yes, Bone, has a nature for both ego tripping and using his influence over players in this game to further his agenda. As a squadron leader and a former wing leader in the highest rated squadron in AH2. And a leading member in terms of both skill level, and in the Aces High Player community. It is inevitable that Bone would have an agenda on what he wants to happen in both his squad and his affiliates.
With talent and skill, comes ego, as Bone commands some of the best prowess in the air in this game it is natural that he should have a head to match. Which is obvious he does. With this head comes pride, pride in both himself and his skills, pride in his squadron, of which I am a member, and loathing for those who get on his bad side, e.g: yourself and the Few. He is prone to emotional outbursts, and cannot control his reactions on occasion. Tending to exaggerate situations rather than simplify.
Bone himself admits to this. He does have an excessive ego, and he , to quote directly. "wears his heart on his shoulder".
In short, Bone, does, use his influence to further his "agenda". And Bone does, have an excessive ego.
But does that make him any different from say, Fester? Raccdogg? vDallas? SHawk? or perhaps even the great Bruv119 himself?
short answer. No.
He is a good man, he is my squadron leader, he does what he does, because it is his squadron, and his pilots. He, as the CO, likes his pilots, and his pilots, like him.
It doesn't matter what this fight is over, who this fight is over.
The fact of the matter is, this fight is over a personality which is the sole property of its owner, DrBone, Andy, Mr Schall. He does what he does because he thinks he should do it. If that brings it into conflict with yours, strike back, play your game. But arguing over something that has both happened, and been resolved. Is not just pointless, its childish, disguise it as much as you like, both sides in this fight are inherently flawed.
Maturity in my opinion is something that this game lacks more and more, which is ironic considering that I started playing this game Age 13. Five years ago. Egos run high in this game, not wanting to admit that they are wrong is something that everyone in this game does and continues to do.
If maturity is the issue, then let it be resolved. Put the dueling pistols down, and get on with flying and dying like the rest of the community has been doing while you have sat down and written this tirade.
As for my CO DrBone, he is at liberty to say what he likes to this fusillade of yours, but he is convinced on his point, and you are convinced on yours. Any argument is futile, as is this whole facade of he said she said bullshiit.
Not all of Bone's pilots, are mindless minions, in fact, none of them are, they are rallying round their leader because he is their leader, just as the Vtards will rally round Dallas, and the 71 RAF will rally around RTHolmes, RedTop, JimmyC or any member who comes under attack.
All this is doing, is fighting a pointless fight.
Personally Shida, you are a good man, I know this. But this is below you, as it is below my CO.
