Arlo, you were supposed to answer the question or stfu, not post your Tommy Lee Jones pic for the 39th time.   

You ruined it Triton!  Ive had Arlo on ignore for 3 months now.  Why pull away the curtains from door number chin nuts?

Yeah yeah. This is Changeup making a name for himself by saving the community from itself via PMs, 'phone polls' and look-at me threads. Took you bout 5 minutes to react. You're getting slower.

There's always the next Cav Furball. You were so eager to invite yourself to the first
only to no-show then bravely ignore the next 2. You could possibly get more feedback
face-to-face. We all have opinions, mate.  

Not that it matters in the long-run.

But your BBS picture posting mania is so much more effective especially after you retread about 90 of them.   I chose not come because it was an event you were going to attend.  Its pretty simple actually...I simply didn't want to be around you or listen to anything that you're about.  I can't be any clearer than that.  

Do you fly?  Are you saving the community by paying and playing the game or are you depending on your massive BBS contributions to do that for you?  

Maybe I will attend the next one...just in case your comment was full of insinuation.  I wouldn't want that.

I like my chances in a 1v1 no matter the plane so i always look to set it up but once that second plane comes in i run like a scared lil school girl.

 

I do this. It's good when 1 turns away and you finally get that 1v1 on again.

Hopefully next time there is a Cavanaugh Furball you can make it. It is amazing what meeting other players while standing around WWII aircraft can do for your view of the game and the people that play it. Being able to actually talk and laugh over a beer or two and swap stories is a blast. You'd be surprised how meeting somebody face to face can wipe away the game and forum grudges people hold. It is always a good time and a positive experience to meet others who share the virtual sky with you. They're never the bastage the you think they are. They're just another AH geek like yourself.

WOW...sounds like a lot of you need to take some time off from the game. I did not read all of the posts here, but what I did read no one has said "They play to just enjoy the game and the people" forget  all the other BS!

score/rank.....who cares
ACM's.........only if we had a/c that acted like real a/c (80% or more of what we do in this game would probably put you in a body bag)
play style....to each his/her own

Bottom line...."IT'S ONLY A GAME" get over it gezzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

That wasn't the question nor was it one of the answers

The irony of you posting a picture of a character from No Country For Old Men just hit me.   

Don't be so self-important.  Ain't nobody gonna PM you about fighting, so I don't know why you would assume that's a lie.  Anywho, just make your case for timidly flying in the MA and you'll have still made a positive contribution to this thread.

Unlike you, I lack the ego to think what I post or how I fly or even how often I fly 'saves the game.' Nor am I impressed that what you post, how you fly or how often you use your account does either. Nor am I driven to prove to the community that I am part of some sort of elite group of game saviors that know better than anyone else what behavior 'saves the game.' Nor do I require the amount of attention you apparently do (more than most teenage girls).

And no, I never thought your ego could survive outside virtual reality so I never expected you to attend any of the Furballs. If you manage to make one, it's doubtful the other attendees will consider it momentous or worthy of note. You'll probably be treated as just one more AH player plane geek (something the rest of us are content to be).

You're confused. 

[68ZooM]

Chest thumpers are in full Kong mode I see 
[/quo
I noticed that to... Same ol players Same ol BS . The bravado is amusing . 

[Triton28]

You're confused. 

I am confused as to why you're posting in this thread.  Very simply, what motivates you to fly the way you do?

My playing style has changed numerous times over the years and to a lesser degree, changes from session to session.

I've always been a GVer to a relatively large degree, even in AW and that's never changed.

In AH I spent years playing every aspect of the game.  I didn't care one bit about score.  My typical day was to look at the map and wherever we were most undermanned was where I felt I was most needed.  I'd fly there, typically from a base back (another aspect of my game that's really never changed) to get some working altitude then dive to the deck giving up all my advantages at the first sight of a low con (I still do that too).  1:1, 1:5, 1:10 I didn't care.  I died a lot but got pretty good with my ACM and SA and was able to win some 1:3's from time to time.  I played with reckless abandon.

For a couple of years I played for nothing but score, was usually in the top 50 and even made top 10 several times.  At that point it was all about killing and making it home alive and whatever I had to do to accomplish that I did.  It really wasn't hard at all as I was already playing every aspect of the game, I just needed to tighten things up a bit and add a little dose of caution to my playing style.

The next phase I went through was trying to land two kills in every plane in the game while holding at least a 1:1, then later a 2:1 K/D ratio in each.  That's where I started to learn the entire planeset.  It was also my most cautious period making sure I had enough of an advantage to offset my lack of knowledge of the aircraft I was flying until I became more comfortable in it.

Prior to BoB I was flying a Spit I in the MA for a couple of months taking on whatever I found.  Lately I'm sort of back to square one.  Take off a base back, give up all my alt early then fight whatever's there.

I've also always enjoyed buff hunting so you will find me relatively high early in my sorties just in case I run across a set of buffs.

One thing I noticed was that I used to really like to find a good 1:1 but lately I get bored with them and enjoy 1:2, 1:3 and even an occasional 1:4 much more or trying to fight my opponents fight even though it may not be the best way for me to win. 

I've also given up many aspects of gameplay (bombers, attack sorties, etc.) largely due to the centralization of the strat system.  Without those aspects of the game to keep me interested my playtime has diminished greatly and now I find myself logging on and just sitting in a GV or field gun to feel like I'm still part of the game.  Upping to head to a fight that dissipates just doesn't seem worth it to me.

Now, to answer your question; it just depends on what phase I'm in.  Right now I don't run from anything but that could change next month and I won't know the reason why until it happens.

I must be going down the same path.  Except for the GV part.  I hate GVs.  Lol!

That would be ways .... not way. Every situation requires a different way to address it. If you don't know that, that's fine.
What this thread is really about is an attempt to change the perceived behavior of others (that and yet another attention thread
for Changeup). Perceived because it's always been a case of presumption when it comes to why the other player/pilot does
anything. You already know my opinion of the segment of the community that has an apparent need to be the 'behavior police.'

Very simply, nothing's broke when it comes to other players. Stop whining that it is.
