Agreed the original AH Damned were a bunch of great guys

 I concur with your assessment, this new flavor of the month squad it's like somebody left the tool shed open and all the tools fell out.

Seriously though, I'll throw in Soulyss.  He's one of the reasons I wanted to learn the 38.  For whatever reason I happened to be around him a bit when I first started and whether he was beating my brains in or flying on my side, he was always a cool dude.

Isn't the goal of ACM to outfly and kill the other guy while surviving? I would think all flight styles primary goal would be not to die, relatively speaking.

The goal of everyone's style is to enjoy themselves.  What that translates to in game is different for about everyone.  It's easy to see why fighting from a disadvantage and winning is fun.  Planes and lives are unlimited.  Yes, it requires going to the tower plenty, but when it works its really fun.  Even when it doesn't work, many find the fight before they die well worth it.

AMAX me and you may fly like that because you and i don't care if we die..  if every player in this game flew with the attitude of they don't want to die this game would totally suck.

And Murdr.  Hopefully he'll tire of the rock star scene and all the female groupies that go with it and starts to fly again.

Seems the trend of new guys joining up with the established group and benefiting from credible association is beginning to be replaced with obnoxious usurping (or attempts at). There's a big difference between joining the community and attempting to take it over. I've noticed that not all former FA players are prone to the latter, however. Still, it's not like the community doesn't have a long memory and can differentiate between our beloved Damned and another group that just calls itself that. And it's not like the old sticks can't help the new sticks with said difference. While skill is admirable, character is more-so. Exhibiting both qualities (or even just the character part) makes for squadron legitimacy in this community

And I mentioned this point in another forum. Anyone who remembers the truly great pilots in the game. Most, if not all showed the same trait, That being character. Not the bafoonary we see some exibit.

You old farts will never learn, If you will not adapt and become stronger then you will be left behind just like the dust from you're azz.


Accept the fact that you're Glory times of old AH days are over and will never be, This is the new age of AH and in all honesty if you don't like it then quit playing. :D  :aok :aok


edit: I take back the above, I would rather you stay it would give me much more Joy to watch the whines roll in.

I admire guys like, Vilkas.

As far as where this thread, and seemingly all threads are destined to go lately...

I like Dr. Bone, and Anarchy too.

Bone makes one spot on point...Move up, move over, or move aside.  Simple kombat 101.

Hopefully the rest of the pokemon catch on too.
