No. It actually reflects that I've seen this song and dance before by Changeup.

The only thing he cares about, when it comes to the AH community, is parading
himself for adoration. I don't think there's a single soul, in or out of the game,
that has managed to impress me doing such. If anything, it knocks their own
feet out from under them when they reveal such a personality.

Now. Has he proven me wrong? Have you? Both of you got twisted about it in
record time. And both of you seem entirely oblivious to how easy it would have
been to prove me wrong.

  Way to go. 

No, I'm pretty sure you just copped to being semi-obsessed with changeup.  Page 4 and 5 pretty much told us that already though.

You might wanna reconsider. The same proof has you all over my zipper.

If you noticed, I didn't say BluBerry didn't 'positively contribute' anything. What I said
was he didn't remind us all about his contribution and what page it was on. His 'further
contributions' are still yet to materialize.

I consider you one of my AH friends. You feel that this thread was both legitimate and
warranted, it seems. Had it been authored by just about anyone but Changeup, I may
have given ion to the former but probably still not the latter (and I may have left Tommy
Lee out of it and not gotten his goat*). So. Seriously now. What do you want, my friend?

(*It didn't strike you how remarkably easily he twisted when I merely challenged his motive?)

 

What do I want? World peace and a super model girl friend  . But, by your own admission this was all based on your opinion of Changeup, So how does that contribute to the topic?

i commented because i thought this thread was going to be helpful. but of course, some desperate for attention troll has to jump in and screw it up, just to be a dick. its the same thing for nearly every single thread on this forum. same people every single time too. these same people live to flame in the forum and in game. you cant say a damn thing without getting flamed and dogpiled. you cant have a serious talk without the flamers jumping in with the sole intent of derailing the whole talk. how you people get any satisfaction out of disrupting, satisfaction out of needling people just to get them aggravated, is pathetic and says a lot about your character and lack of character. if the game dies, imo, it'll be bc of the so called vets and the tone theyve set for the game with the flaming and elitism retardation.

A very good analysis of the situation.

I've reverted to topic contribution twice. I'll bet you I can pull this off (ptp)
better than Change, Triton and a half dozen others.

I will be praying for world peace and worldly piece for you, though.

So you stalk changeup on the BBS and get homoerotic fantasies of me?  lol ok

[Triton28]

For the record, I would never be on the zipper of something that looks like this...

Congrats! So all the other posts were just to be antagonistic?

I'm not sure your current deepest wishes contribute to the topic.

Well, not that I would want you to but you probably can't do better.

Now, topic, sonny-jim. Why not deal with my topical post? 

[Arlo]

Congrats! So all the other posts were designed to be just as antagonistic?

Fixed.  Remember, I'm supposed to take some of the blame.

Just reread all 18 pages and no one contributed to the topic after a couple of pages, including you.

 My first post was on page 4.

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 found it topical and non-antagonistic. I also find it pretty good. Phases. Yes. Some go through them all, eventually. Some never do. Some may not see how it's possible, even (but that's just theory).

when i fight, i fight til i die or win. whether its a tank or a plane, it doesnt matter. i dont run, i might extend some. i dont ho unless im hoe'd first. i dont ram. i play as fairly as i can and try to set an example of how to have fun.

my way is not right, nor wrong, good nor bad. its just my way. if i die i get a shiny new plane after i salute the guy that killed me, if he deserves a salute.

now whats all this commotion about score???
