That was good fun. Great tourny lost cause. I reckon should do it again sometime.

[haitch40]

yeh however whats the echo in your hadset lost cause? it sounded like an airport

Thanks guys. This BS with the Sony servers is aweful. It has to be the servers, right? We cant here each other even in a small room. The lag sucks. I had to restart one of the heats because of that. That last match took about 30 minutes to get off because of join errors.

And I had no idea that the highest you can set the kills in dogfight is 100. There is no unlimited selection. Nobody knew this. Mergirvin got 100 points with 1:30 to go and won the game. Damn that! We'll never know how many he can get. That guy is good! And a good guy, too. And the other guys in the heat lost 1:30 of scoring. I really felt like shit over that, but what can we do? It hit the game limits. The show had to go on. That 3rd heat was awesome!!

The leaders did really well.
Several guys had their best scores ever. Thanks so much to the guys available as replacement pilots. Their scores only count toward Top Gun, nothing else. With the number of no shows, we would not have had 6 pilots in every heat. But we managed to do so. SNOWOLF-7 came out of nowhere. He had a simply outstanding night. As Bunny287 also had his best going on. krsansic was excellent in the g6, nailing 2 Top Guns along with SNOWOLF. And SINNSR! And Watermanr7 basking in that Hawaiian sun! And killerhawk had his top game ever. They came out of nowhere also. All these guys brought their A game.

I think lots of guys were nervous. I sure was. The pressure of competition! Lots of disappointed players, but that's the way it goes. The cool, calm guys did the best. This thing is wide open for the taking. I think tomorrow we'll see some really good scores.

Thanks for the kudo's Cause, that was tons of fun! I was nervous as hell before both of my heats... made me laugh at myself. All the guys I flew with last night, and all the guys I fly with normally are top notch. See you boys in the sky....watermanr7

I wish it was the Sony servers. That would mean we had dedicated server support instead of crappy old p2p. The two heats I played were quite laggy. Not overly so, but it's that really irritating line where you just get a bead on the target and he warps a few feet, rinse and repeat.

Last game had a whole boatload of crashbugs on both ends for me too. Still, it was fun, apart from all those Spits zipping about!

SubaruGaz-Spit-10pm sat nt UK...................Forfeit, too busy with aliens vs. predator

A good night!! As you guys can see by the scores, the aces were scoring. Tagem was on the mark as was ARkozz, both of whom had 2 TOP GUNS. Unfortunately kozz cannot make the 2nd round. That damn job just gets in the way of everything! Dinho, WhiteRhino (barely missing his 2nd TOP GUN by 1 death), and cep34 were smokin! They are going to be very difficult to knock out! Olife showed up too and made it to the second round. Rookies McKinneyJD and R3ECKON1NG_FORCE played excellent and both are in the 2nd round. Great job and a successful first round to everyone who held up their commitment and gave it their best shot. You are all number 1!!!

I guess you guys must have scared the shit out of several pilots who never showed up. With the exception of skeii and Olife who were dealing with family matters (and both of them made the 2nd round), everybody else didn't even bother to cancel (except SubaruGaz, who happily enjoyed several rounds of AvsP right in front of everybody). edal86 re-retired. Still haven't heard from them. haitch40 caved in (sorry buddy, you did), but he showed up and held up his end anyway. Better than I can say for the rest.

I busted my ass and to have guys just not show up is disappointing.

Tomorrow should be very good if everyone shows. These guys advanced fair and square, although the LA/Hurri/YAK catagory got the biggest impact by the noshows. A pity, but it is what it is.

Well that was fun, all except for tagem beating everybody with the pea-shooter on his yak-3

Wish I could be there tomorrow but they never let me off work on Sunday

Those of you who didn't make it, and everyone as soon as this is wrapped up, check the prototype team ladder rules. It's about ready to start as soon as this is done. Keep in mind it's designed for a completely different style of flying, like the earlier tournaments it's least deaths instead of most kills. Then form up teams and prepare for glory
