I don't know about you, but when I try to share my enthusiasm for this game and this community with an outsider, they try not to be rude, but they are humoring me just to listen. They don't get it, and I can't really blame them, I suppose. Still...
So, on to my news: I have gotten to the trifecta! 25,7555 kills, 2503 hangars and 3113 wins. It's easy to see my ratio of kills to hangars of 10 to 1. I wonder if anyone has ever computed that before? Surely, Deli would have done it, as numbers crazy as he is (love ya, bro!). My great sorrow is that my ratio of kills to deaths is still negative (but just barely). It used to be much worse, so I continue to try not to die so much, lol. Anyhow, thank you for listening, and all comments as well as hearing about your own numbers is very welcome. For example, I just found out that RC is at 240 WR, how about that for a great number?! Owwwwoooooohhhhh, brothers and sisters! Share something good with us all!
Im not a numbers counter because I emphasize the way the game is played not the numbers along the way as a measure of fun and success. I hate to get all philosophical and silly, but when someone is reading my eulogy I certainly hope "was good at video games" isn't mentioned or thought of. Maybe as an epitaph, but not at my wake. LOL
With that in mind was in a good ctf with Acegirl as red and Misfit FBT as blue. Some really fun turnfighting mixing it up and trying to catch Acegirl while flying in the egg with FBT, it was really intense there for a while. The good intense that gets your adrenaline going and pulse racing. Acegirl is quite slippery but had difficulty with two MORAF's chasing her.
Now Dunc, if I tried to explain that to a ground pounder or civvie (maintenance person or civilian for you non-military speak folks) I'm sure they would listen with little interest and just humor me.
Bring your stories of good fights, win or lose, here because your brothers can relate to all the great df stories.
OBTW my numbers look pretty good. I finally passed Blackwolf for overall kills, but now that hes back that wont last long at all. Can you believe back when he and I were both the same rank, around 20 I think, I was ahead of him and we battled back and forth on the world rank board just like Rc and I did going for MORAF? Ah, those were some good times indeed.
