I hope this is worthy of reading to some, if not all. 

I've only been playing a few months now....can't seem to get past Sgt. rank. I came close to SSGT. on another nick. But, Im fighting to get there! 

I'm still not sure what all the hoopla is about joining a clan...there seems so many of them in here and from what I've seen on "chat", I'm really not impressed with all the trash talking. But, Im positive there has got to be more than a handful of reputable clans out there. 

What Im trying to get at is...where is the sportsmanship in y'all?! Like "nice shot dude", "man you got me good!", or "wanna 1vs1? may the best player win!"

Its all in all, at the end of your session...still just a game and Im sure most of you would agree,is why we come to Fly or Die! TO PLAY A FUN GAME! I concur, that there is alot of mindless babble (as Rat has so eloquently put it in another forum post) But, its not only in the forum folks, its in the "chat room" too; as previously mentioned. I'd like to one day think of joining a clan to make new friends. However, it feels good to be going at it solo and trying to actually "EARN" my points right now(or losing them, from my current perspective) to players who I am not ashamed to admit are sometimes better at Tanx than me. Thats the competitive side of me talking! u win some & u lose some! Get over it.

Honestly, I have more fun playing against Pvts., NCO's, & SNCO's; rather than Officers. I think most of them appreciate the concept of the game more than some who's ego have swollen beyond belief! Please do not misinterrpet me. Im sure there are those in the Officers rank who truly have paid there fair dues and genuinely deserve the recognition to get where they are today. They are just too good for me and beyond what novice skills I have. I say GOOD for them and I hope one day to I can attain their level of gameplay. What Im talking about is the minority of bad apples who tend to spoil the game experience not only for me, but for some other folks as well. Im sure I speak on their behalf.

If a new player ask for help or advice on how to play...give em a hand or simply say F1 for gameplay instructions. Name calling is totally uncalled for. Dont forget you were one too when you first started! Obviously, you either took the time and taught youself well, &/or someone went out of their way to give you a few pointers or both. Y'all have walked in that path once. Dont make the game a place to dread for newcommers. Rather, a place where we all can enjoy  ourselves. 

I love Tanx...mostly because its free! lol! Banking? dont care for it and wonder why its even occuring! Rank! err...a little, but more like a Yes & No at the same time...but I gotta earn it! Having FUN?! Thats what keeps bringing me back! 

This has been more than 2 cents. Seems like a buck-fifty worth! hahaha! Sorry to have bored y'all...so enough of my boo-hoo's! Lets Play!

See y'all on the Battle Field! and please! if ya have the urge to kill me?....do it fiercely! but, most importantly...do it nicely! I dont mind!   :)
