I find it funny, that even though I have NEVER claimed to be an ace, numbskulls like Butcher will name drop on here. The conversation started with him coming to bish with the usual self serving remarks that attention hounds say, such as "I always defend a base in an eny 100 plane and never die" "I just upped a cardboard box and shot down 40 262s." Then he asked if I would wing with him. First off, I am a crappy wing man so I dont usually "wing" with anyone and I simply laughed and told him I dont care what he is doing I wont fly with him. Not because he was in a duece or defending, but that I would rather spend that time trying to slice my wrist with a nerf ball then give one second to someone with his attitude. I leave the urine flow distance contests to those who think this game somehow translates into real life and their accomplishments here will entice the gods to lavish them with gold and women. I fly for fun and the conversations that are had over squad channel. I don't watch nor type in 200, it seems that everyone on there is 10 feet tall with arms of steel. Must be a very dangerous place.
As far as hoardes go, nothing was programmed in this game to know the mentality of the user. It didn't have a survey that sent the hoarders to Bish and the alt monkeys to rook. The differences and similarities are pretty much equal amongst all countries. We are all just guys flying around shooting at stuff, sometimes ho'ing, sometimes running, sometimes ganging, sometimes winning, sometimes losing. I like it, I play it, I enjoy my squad and the friends that come on channel to chat. I would imagine that most on here do exactly the same, there are just those few who, for whatever reason, need to raise their hand and say stupid stuff to either garnish attention or ruffle feathers or reach for something that might fill an empty hole within their lives on the other side of that computer screen. But to the other 99% I salute you, regardless if I kill you or you kill me. Its usually fun unless I throw my joystick to the ground and go break things around the house, I usually then go do something else to cool off. But to the Butchers of the world, I bow to your overall supreme greatness, I couldn't imagine the pressure of having to maintain such perfection day in and day out. I really hope someday the world outside of AH can see what you have done and write about it so all others from this day forward will know what happened here, may you always be remembered.
