    Well we did play in two games together, one we were on the same team, the other opposites. When we were on opposite teams, you managed to run off all my teammates leaving me facing you and three other guys! I was having a field day with your teammates... you not so much! :) I was really liking it though, and then I lost connection :( The p-40 wasn't me... I don't think ( I was in one today) I wasn't incognito today... Frumius and Te em shamed me into putting the badge back on! :) Besides I haven't run into the elf for several days now!

    Thanks, I hadn't played much for three days, I was like running 2000 points behind :) I'll be there only till our Aussie friend wakes up I'm sure! Lol :)

    EDIT: My last disguise was "Howler" :)

    The guy I thought might have been you was named Bombercat or something like that. I've only seen him the last two or three days and he seemed to know who I was and only come at me. He didn't seem crazy about going h2h though which made me skeptical that he wasn't you.

    I ran into him several times today as well. I think he's just a skilled noob. Once he gets ahold of a decent plane... And your right about me and the H2H's I was doing that in my p-40 against a pair of zero III's today.... didn't work out so well for me actually! Hehe! :)

    Sorry NeLge, I just wasn't in the mood. I was looking for a game where I could rack up easy kills not easy deaths.

    Keebler, Sola.... I lost connection.... I'm not done bleeding yet!!!! ARGGG!!! Now I can't find the game again.. this is sooooooo frustrating! I'm in the wrong plane too aren't I? OK then, I am getting my Mosquito, and I am going to continue looking for you two!

    EDIT: Oh well that was fun while it lasted! :) Great Game guys! tee-em I left and came back to help you out, but you must have lost connection too! I have been loosing connection all day today! It's starting to drive me crazy! Oh well, I'm off to buy a mountain bike now :)

    I popped into that game a couple of times, and lost connection each time also. Looked like fun (even though I was in a Z3).

    that was fun! :) I had to leave b/c it was supper time. now doing some work. might be on later.

    you should have seen it before you came in. it was Sola and I vs 3 other planes and we got to their spawn point and after that, it was raining nothing but plane parts.

    That was almost unfair :) lol

    Update on my frumious journey:

    [​IMG]

    Current Rank: 15
    15447 Kills
    2374 Deaths

    What is that huge dip all about? I think I started out at a higher skill-level/familiarity with the flying required than most -- possibly due to having played F.A.S.T. for months, as had the other SAB members -- but I didn't get a lot better very quickly. My learning curve had already flattened out quite a bit. Others got better in a hurry, and now my KDR has stabilized at a much lower level.

    That KDR, which is currently 6.51 : 1 comes from playing random mixes of games with only newbs, games with tons of aces, and games with a healthy mix of players -- it's whatever I get when enter a room. The KDR goes WAY down against Aces from this forum, and WAY up against newbs! Go figure :)

    it's fun keeping track and watching it over time. I just hope I don't fall below that bottom line in my graph! I'd have to lower the ground level!


    [EDIT: Curiously, that graph mimics my flying style! I will almost always dive for the deck and then attack from below (uh... forget you read that, please). Down is the first direction I go as soon as I enter a game.]

    No problem, you missed a great game I set up before, the second one that you came in didn't have the same standard, GG GN, Bukki (I think the first time i've seen you??) and Mayhem-who is that? seems good but doesn't kill as fast as he could as he has the admirable tactic of only gunning for me/other vet's in zero's!
    That other game i entered I left almost straight away as it wasn't the ocean map anyway, looked like you were getting on alright about 30-2-2 or something! If you want to batter them together just throw in a couple of 'ouch's after I start gunning for you!
    Has anyone played 'suk it'? seems a pleasant player

    I thought that was you entering as I was leaving! I got so paranoid thinking, "Oh man! NeLge is going to think I'm ducking him." I was definitely avoiding you in the first game that was basically just a h2h while that other guy was there simply to occupy you while you're waiting for me to spawn and race back to you to die again. The second game you entered I was just leaving at the same time to lock in my wins. I got burned a couple days ago where I had a 90 kill game that was completely wasted as I lost the connection and the kills never counted. Now once I get to the 25-45 kill range I leave to make sure that doesn't happen again. M*I*A and I are in a friendly race to make the Top 20 and those 90 kills would have been a nice boost.

    And yeah, I've played "suk it" or [SUK]it a million times. I think he's the guy who creates all the "Top 10 Sucks" rooms. He doesn't seem the slightest bit concerned about his KDR either. Definitely willing to take a beating.

    haha, I thought that may have happened in that other one. and what happens straight after you post this?? straight in one of those rooms! I think it's a good idea, It often brings them in- gg, my controls were struggling in there so left it.

    Yeah, I was in there for a while. I was having terrible scrolling issues - planes were jumping around on me, nothing was smooth. I could get people smoking but had a hard time making the kill in those conditions, so dropped out after a bit. It was fun, but would have been better with smoother play. I am having more problems now with the smoothness in the play than I have had in the past for some reason.

    if I'm not wrong the lost connection will only miss your last few kills, not the entire 90 kills. So whether u lost connection after 90 kills or 15 kills it will be same loses on the last few kills.
