ParrotHead wrote: Awesome! Thanks Bopes! I had no idea if we won or lost. Did Clay get the lat hangar? And I know I said it a couple times in-game, but every one of those kills was carrying a bomb (Dave would be proud) and I never bombed the first hangar. I couldn't get over the hill to even see them. I didn't know if there was one or 8 left. And that flick guy must hate me. I started the game killing him as he was tanking the hangars and then killed him another 30-40 times. I would hate me

I have no idea who got the last hangar, but Clay was on your side Parrot, so it couldn't have been him. Maybe Phillip? Like you I never got near a hangar. The early rounds, with Panic on my side, were quite the meat grinder. I recall whole squads annihilating each other in hails of bullets right in my base's front yard. One second there's a furball of swirling red and blue planes -- the next instant everybody was deadsville. It had a terrible beauty to it.

Great game everyone. I came in late. How long did you guys play? I did not get the last hanger. Thought Bopes got it. HA! Congrat's ParrotHead.

Hey squad

Sorry I'm chit house at posting round hereabouts just to blingin busy

Parrot cracked me up apologising for not playing one day , parrot mate it takes nearly a year for the addiction to
Become a pastime enjoy it while it lasts man !

Cheers

Have you guys paid attention to some of the latest endgame-screenshots showing impressive 3-digits killings?
Almost all of them are related to bomb-the-base or bomb-the-carrier sessions, and in almost all of these games, surprisingly the side with more kills were the side who lost the game!!
Conclusion: Bring the bombs, guys, and don't forget to address them in the right place!
I must say this, because in the last weeks, I have being criticized by some teammates for my lack of kills during some games. Well, everyone here knows that I am not (and will never be) an ace, and I really lack skills. My eyes can't see that tinny dot on my phone's screen at all... But I try to do my best, of course shooting when needed but mainly sneaking and bombing - and winning!
There is nothing wrong on doing high-kills-scores, of course - who am I to disapprove? And I am really jealous: my record was a humble 38... But it would be nice if we managed to play in a more mission-oriented way...
Oh, how I miss the team-only-chat feature! It could give us an opportunity to do REAL STRATEGY...

I'm with you Ped. If you look at my stats, you will see I have more games won than most, not all, but most of those in the top 25 for my rank and less kills too. Everyone of those kills in that game was while I was carrying a bomb and trying to deliver it. In the past week I broke my personal best (# of kills) of 36 with a 42 and then a 62 and now 132. In all of those personal records, I was on a team with 1 or 2 others and faced 5-6 reds. I've concluded that in such games its a target rich environment and allows for more kills. In all of those games except the 42 kill, my team has lost. When outnumbered like this, if the odds don't even up its nearly inevitable that you will lose.

Clay, I was in that game for over and hour. And as I just said was outnumbered for most of it. It seemed every time a new red showed, he was sporting swords of one variety or another and every blue was a noob, 2 of which didn't know how to ID friend or foe and one actually left the game after I explained he was flying in the wrong direction! Was very happy when you showed.

Bopes, I'm an idiot! I saw your screen shot. It said "you win" and I was dumb enough not realize it was YOUR screen shot. I went to bed happy and then realized, quite randomly, while driving into work that I been mistaken. It was worth the loss.

Thanks again all!
PH

Yeah, you are right about the fact that, when you are outnumbered in BTB missions, you will have less chances to reach enemy's airport. I forgot to put this variable on my previous post. Anyway, I am still jealous!!!! lol


Edit - My bad English effect: I should use the word "envious" instead of "jealous", in this case.

Soooooooooo anyone seen any prodiges other then me n sput. I haven't. Are there any that still play? Do they post?

Thanks for a good game Yak and i do hope that it isnt a honda fitta (ehum... I mean jazz) that you drive.
To all of you who can read swedish im sorry but that is the name of the car.

I need to see if I can post this...

EDIT: Nope, I can't post screen shot's....

coop that's ok, we love you anyway, kisses kisses As for the Bird, I agree with the Bird and Pedrindo you girls drop your bombs way to often at the beginning on each game, Not all of you but some and you know who you are. Your argument is its only a game, right? Then why are you afraid to play the game like everybody else? Just a thought. But anyway Good job Parrot

Dear Dr. Dave:

There are many reasons for many players to play their game for their reasons for playing the way they do. There are many agreements regarding disagreements to the disagreements regarding the agreements that players play the way they play their play.

The advantages or dis-advantages regarding their play of play is their play.

Hope this helps.

Karma + for ya, M4rtin! LOL

Yes Martin. I know and I wasnt trying to start anything on yalls thread I was only saying in my own demented way
I hate to see or hear a bomb drop before its time, I for one enjoy the dogfight with a bomb, but then im not afraid to get shot
down. And my stats will prove that. I guess all im really saying is they dont know what their missing.... Their lose.

I have to agree with you on that one doc. Unless you are outnumbered, outranked and outhoused by 6 to 1, hanging on to your bomb is the manly thing to do. I've shot down plenty of ball-lessbombless heroes whilst hanging on to mine. Double the pleasure

GETTING NOTICED BY OTHER M.O.M. FLYERS

When I join the game I announce that I am an applicant by just typing:
M.O.M. applicant here...

Hope you guys are paying attention while I fly the unfriendly skies...

I tend to go after M.O.M. pilots just to get noticed...
You will probably just make me better, since you guys are the best squad in the sky...

Will continue to deny all other Squadrons...




MY CAKE OFFERING: You can have my cake and eat it too...!!!

Wig, Snowbumm:

Enjoyed the game Many thanks.

Strikeroony, we know Prodigy Conoco went back to school and was never heard from again. Killerbadger apparently resigned without bothering to tell us then changed his game name. I have no idea about Killahboy or...whomever the other MIA Prod is. They both dropped off the map.

We're trying to restock the Prodigy pond with much better skilled and more dependable members. All eyes out for underage phenoms with The M.O.M Factor, please. Let's get some stupid-good (like, really good, not really stupid) kids to pump up Sput's squad within a squad. They're out there...

If your plan is to carry on indefinitely as Prompter, Mr. Pinkerton, then I'll be more than happy to cook up a new banner for you. You can always switch back to G-the-P any time.
