Happy, happy, happy, happy.

Not. I've been away for a while, barely checking in to a few threads and the JollyR, and a few PMs. More recently I've found more time to play, and cautiously opened a few other threads to see what's new (they have a tendency to suck you in and Poof another 30 minutes of Life is gone).

Remember way way back, when the Game the focus, the Players were the perk, and Getting To Know a few friends closely was what drew you back every day? There was no whining (well, maybe a little), no faceless baseless bashing (or just a little bit), no over-the-top Nuclear Option reactions (by most), and no macho ego (well... never mind)? Ok maybe that never existed. But at the very least, we gave more benefit of the doubt and didn't assign every human response to a fatal character flaw.

I think we've become a family that have taken each other for granted so much that we have hair triggers for everything, and screaming tantrums when we feel slighted. Let's take a collective breath. Disagreeing is fine. Do we have to take Everything to the mat and start an online cat fight? No. There are better things to worry about. Sure I've been drawn into it, and made my own rants, so this is me too. But you know what? It doesn't matter! Let's back off, find some perspective, take one or two in the jaw and shrug it off.

And Clap Along. Dammit.

What are talking about, what ranting are you refering to, huh huh, are you crazy, and does propspective mean any way, and why back off, back off of what? You must be from SAN DIEGO, everyone knows people from San diego are crazy. :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:

Thank you, this rant has been brought to you from the DAVY CROCKETT support team. If this had been an actual rant then you would have been instructed to go to your nearest thread for instructions.

Good morning Manfred. How are all the bikinies in san diego. I sure miss looking at them :woohoo: :woohoo:

And yes I agree with you dear sir.

I suppose I'm in the same boat as you, Manny. Lately (and this is me being frank), I've begun to dislike the general atmosphere of the forum, and I've refrained from posting save for a few special threads (though every now and then, there's a thread that comes along that piques my interest).

Call me pessimistic, I guess, but this is just from my perspective. I miss it when people would play this game with an open mind and a light heart, which made it fun for everybody. Now it seems everybody is at each other's necks for reasons that seem so terribly insignificant.

What happened to the camaraderie; the charm?

Maybe it's because I haven't been able to actually play the game in months, or maybe us bikini-wearing San-Diegans are really just crazy, I dunno.

It's the nature in everything it seems in todays world. That everyone is quick to assume the worse motives to everything said or done right off. :( It's not possible someone miss spoke, or was miss understood, can't give the benefit of the doubt as that shows weakness as it must be that that person true is out to get ya!

Ok my old man rank about kids now'a day quota is met :)

I think people might get "offended" about a new squadron I am creating called the "Russian Air Corps"...


"Russian Air Corps" is NOT Stalin the Tank Engine at all!

I honestly don't care if people hate me for this, it is the Russia before Lenin and Stalin led a revolution.
This is the thread: www.dogfightplay.com/index.php/forum/8-s...86-russian-air-corps

Also, Crockett, what do you want in return if you advertise the Russian Air Corps for me?
our gracious Queen, Long live our noble Queen, God save the Queen! Send her victorious, Happy and glorious, Long to reign over us, God save the Queen!

Yea, I agree, Manny.

I've been playing with a thin skin lately too. I've been taking it personally when someone accuses me of dropping, or when someone parks their red plane on my spawn point... Everything seems to smooth over fine unless I start calling them out for it. The funny thing about it is even though jerk pilots make me mad, I actually like getting riled up and going after them! So, why should I complain?

All of the irritation I've had when Loewenhardt has spawn killed me in the past was alleviated when I pinned him to the deck in a btc the other day. The thing is, he never complained nor quit. He just took it. I suppose that if he can take what he dishes out I really don't have a problem with him. He actually adds to the complexity of the game. I guess the thing that makes me angriest is when I see high ranks trashing on newer players. It's probably got something to do with the fact that I've got kids who play the game too. It just gets my daddy ritious indignation going and :evil: !!!!!

Oh well, I'll try to check my anger and keep it light when I can. When someone is being a complete asshat I won't complain. I'll just get even! Lol.

To much moonshine and partying. I'm not sure how I ended up wearing your outfit though. I'm sure it was FUN. I hope no one ended up pregnant.
