Or you don't want to look: your claim is 4v1, to make us look bad, hubris and humility huh?

Foot meet mouth.

Quit trying to divert, you were wrong just admit it :)

Looking forward to many more matches to come, with you guys or anyone else for that matter.

How does it make me "feel"? What is this, Dr. Phil hour? How would a winning or losing a game cause anyone to "feel" a certain way, outside of the camaraderie of teamwork? It doesn't make me "feel" any way. With a question like that, I'd have to ask you - do you seriously attach emotions to a video game?

The fights were awesome fights and very challenging. We flew a wide assortment of planes - well, sort of. In fact, it was clear that the pickup players, specifically JB11, were the linchpin of tournament. If it was up to me, I'd nominate JB11 as MVP.

Yes.  You were dominant in Kings of the Sky (KOTS) in your former game (Fighter Ace), which stressed teamwork and effective communication in order to prevail.  I would figure losing to a pickup crew in your new game (which you started November 21, 2013) would have stung a little since you've stressed many times (in many posts) how such things are important to you.

I propose the next match we spice things up a bit.  Each side can pick two planes the other side CANNOT pick.  If it's variety you're after, that would help.

Sure they do when they know it's being read!  All the more enthusiasm!!  Gets the blood pumping.  If you were ever an athlete, you'd understand that, lol

Negative sir, I just see you for what you are, and what you try to imply. If you are trying to compliment him, it sure doesn't look like it,  I think we have given him more props than anyone else in this thread.

Yet again , you won't admit your wrong, and I don't that you will, you keep avoiding addressing the video, you keep trying to avoid/divert attention to something else,  It's right there in your face, you exaggerate , you get called on it and can't prove otherwise.

Like I said, good fights. Looking forward to many more matches.

And it would have stung, why? This is our first match in a new game with new rules, and the first of many. If you think losing predominantly in planes we've never flown before "stings," you're gravely mistaken. We could care less. In fact, we quite enjoyed the event.

I propose the next match we spice things up a bit.  Each side can pick two planes the other side CANNOT pick.  If it's variety you're after, that would help.  

Thanks for the suggestion. We're still evaluating rules to be neutral and yet still allow each side a degree of familiarity. We'll let you know how that goes.

One (of many) of your Kings of the Sky (KOTS) references from your talk about FA (Fighter Ace):

More to the point, our squadron won more KOTS competitions throughout the history of Fighter Ace than all other squadrons (at least in FA 2.0 and forward). That can be verified by any squadron who participated long-term or prior @FA individuals who officiated the events. Our squadron was the reason that the rules for KOTS were changed on multiple occasions, because at one time we literally ran almost every squad out of KOTS. We ended up dual-enrolling our own squadron under hider names because no one would fight us.

If I'd have taken the time to type that out, I'd be proud of it.  Losing in a similar competition to a group that never flies together would sting. 

Thanks for the suggestion. We're still evaluating rules to be neutral and yet still allow each side a degree of familiarity. We'll let you know how that goes.

So basically, our pickup squad is the reason you're reevaluating your rules?

You're right, I shouldn't try and call him on his bs using concrete evidence.

Why would we care about losing our FIRST competition in a game, flying as a reformed squad (keep in mind that Fighter Ace was nearly five years ago now) primarily due to flying a plane we've never flown (P-38)? The fact that we won all but one round in planes that we had flown previously (as well as planes that the other team had ALL flown previously) was actually verification for us and an indicator of what's to come.

So basically, our pickup squad is the reason you're reevaluating your rules?

First things first, you weren't there (and you've repeatedly declined to accept our 2v2) - so it wasn't "your" pickup squad.

Secondly, no, we're not reevaluating the rules because of "you." We're looking at all aspects and seeing what went right vs what went wrong. For example, fuel loads - should one be set? Or should it remain at pilot's discretion? Rearms? Do we change planes? Or do we randomly pick a plane and stay in it for every sortie. Etc. We're interested primarily in fair, neutral play for both sides.
