Read about how WILDCAT_23RD tried to prevent SCO forces from targeting the 23rd. The 23rd was already becoming a pain in the ass to many good pilots so a conflict was inevitable. Wildcat thought he could call a truce with SCO so the 23rd could continue harassing other pilots. We caught his attempt and stomped the 23rd out of USAF.

I wish to contribute special thanks to all who joined in the battle to drive these idiots out of JCN.

From Wildcat_23rd

The 23rd TFW would like to request a non-agression pact with the SCO. We do not want to join in your activities, as several of your stated mission requirements go against our constitution, but we agree not to show agression to you if you do likewise with is. Please let me know your response to this offer as soon as possible.

Signed,

General Wildcat, Commanding Officer, 23rd Tactical Fighter Wing

General Wildcat,

Your request for a non-aggression pact can be interpreted as a sign of weakness. The 23rd has already been infiltrated by a disgruntled switch-player. Although I personally don't see a reason to attack your squad, I did look at your code of conduct section and must say your rules are quite overbearing to say the least. Your tone is that of an authoritarian dictator with selfish masterbatory needs. As mentioned in our mission statement, we hold no rank or seniority in SCO and members are able to pick their own enemies. Our goal is to defend the air from marauding idiots that feel it customary to gang up on unsuspecting pilots. I have heard complaints about you from the Scuba Squad regarding unsportsman like conduct and support their efforts to rid the skies of egocentric morons.

Let me give you a scenario:

Let's say I am in red flag with several other SCO members in a covert operation to protect. Several 23rd members are also present. If an SCO members becomes engaged by 2 or more 23rd members, an unsportsman like conduct has then been violated and is interpreted as an act of war. This will remain through the end of that game. At the end of the game, the action will be noted. If we see this to become a pattern with the 23rd, we will discuss this problem among members and jointly decide if SCO will globally enter a covert conflict against the 23rd. The best part about it is you will never know what hit you. We also protect independent pilots in red flag that are ganged up upon. As you have probably ascertained, counterintelligence runs at a high level within SCO. We have the ability to attack and demoralize any abusive pilot or group in USAF. It is this reason that we have no formal command structure. Triple agents are easily spotted and bashed haplessly into oblivion. Since you and other non SCO entities have no way of identifying SCO members, you will be forced to be on your best behavior at ALL times. If you leave us alone, we will do likewise, so
be nice!

I hold the distinction of having the most kills in USAF and have for a long time so I have nothing to prove. This is in light of the fact that I have a dozen other active callsigns. Am I the best stick that has ever played the game? That is open for debate and I make no claims. Your squad is not considered a primary target however you are under close observation. Our spy is busy providing internal intelligence information on your squad and we will decide soon if your squad is a threat to free game play or only certain members within your squad. The 23rd can easily be ostracized by the group and be cast into submission so please make sure you and your squad play fairly.

NUTS!

From Wildcat_23rd

Attn. Smartbomb and whomever else it may concern, For one thing I did not write the code of conduct and have made and continue to make demands for it to be changed. For another thing, Scuba Squad is an unreliable, disloyal, disillusioned, misaligned, misinformed group of would-be good pilots let wrong. It seems whenever someone wants to talk trash on JCN they simply put Scuba_ in front of their callsign and proceed to make an ass out of themselves, further degrading the game. I have played on several Combat.Net games including Fighters Anthology, IAF, and WWII fighters and nowhere but in USAF is there so much bickering, whining, complaining and unsportsmanlike conduct. USAF is probably the most unbelievable flight sim ever created, but it is assholes like Scuba squad that ruin it for everyone.For another thing the 23rd has not, does not, and will not engage in unsportsmanlike conduct. When we are playing we uphold the highest standards of excelence in pilotship. When we engage someone 2v1 in for say a Red Flag it is called teamwork, not ganging up. If you havn't noticed, the 23rd NEVER starts fights on JCN. We only respond to attacks and never take out a loss in the sky on a pilot in the lobby.You may have the most kills on JCN, but that is because you fly coop missions where blowing up a ground unit, AI controled aircraft or structure counts for a kill. If you want to go toe to toe with me I will take you to the mat. You are not the best. I am not the best, but I do have a 4.4:1 kill ratio without assistance of coop missions. If i can't beat you than I will admit you are the best. Till then don't try to intimidate me with a padded kill score, because you don't. You and SCO are not the police men of JCN. Keep in mind it is just a game and games are fun. The 23rd is a strong squad we survived a similar attack and came out strong, don't think idle threats can intimidate me into changing my ways. I play the GAME to have FUN, and I WILL NOT be told what to do by ANYONE.I extended the olive branch of peace to you and your squad. I keep my offer for now. I don't want trouble I just want to have fun. The choice is yours. I will have the code of conduct fixed, but other than that we will continue to fly as we see fit. The offer stands and the ball is in your court. Good day.

Signed,

General Wildcat, Commanding Officer, 23rd Tactical Fighter Wing

Where the hell did you get the idea that I fly coops? Get you fucking facts straight Mike! Less than 1 in 100 sorties are flow coop and even then it is by choice of a non-informative host and at which point I usually quit the session before it starts. The only coop I enjoy is the red vs. blue team with opposing human pilots in the mission where you kill the sheltered B2 bomber. Again, that's well under 1 in 100. There is no padding in my score and less than 50 kills would be from non human piloted kills. I have almost 19,000 kills. Do you really think I give a shit about that? So please redirect your comments to fact and not wishful thinking. Although to assume is said to "make an ass out of you and me", only the former holds true and I think you know it. You can ask anyone on JCN what the hell I think about coops, so let's stop kidding ourselves, shall we? My kill ration is 9.1:1 and still is when considering 50 machine kills. Deal with it. I am quite familiar with USAF and its resources. Where did you see/read that killboard kills can reflect other than non manned planes, etc.?? That sounds like a crock to me and I definitely would be interested to see proof.

> You may have the most kills on JCN, but that is because you fly coop

> counts for a kill.

As I mentioned before, I do not decide who the enemies of SCO are and I am encouraging the development of separate factions within SCO to think for themselves. Just because I am not at war with you doesn't mean that other SCO members hold the same regard. When you talk about threats and intimidation, I was merle stating a publicly held conception of the 23rd. I created SCO to prevent intimidation and yes, SCO DOES POLICE USAF WEATHER ANYONE LIKES IT OR NOT. This is fast becoming a fact that is no longer under my control. SCO is less than 1 week old and has already taken on a mind of its own. There are several that have targeted you personally to jointly destroy you. You even have a doublespy among your midst that has pledged his allegiance with SCO. LOL! Can you pull the knife from your back?

At this point, I remain neutral. I could care less what you think about the Scuba Squad or anyone else for that matter. Scuba Steve is a good pilot and adds a new dimension of fun to the chat that most people enjoy. Your insults about his squad should remain private because it is very unsportsman like to talk about others behind their backs. I will not entertain this kind of cowardly thinking and hope you will think twice before doing it again. Everyone makes mistakes so I will allow this to remain between you and me for now... JCN remains free for everyone and SCO will enforce it weather you or I like it or not.

I would enjoy a 1 on 1 with you: f22's, noblackouts, unlimited guns, realistic targeting and 10 sec delay to prevent headbanging. These are the most commonly used settings hosted in USAF and I have adapted accordingly. With my advanced multiple firewall, I usually don't host anyway since network administration becomes to much of a distraction during game play. Your settings may be different and if they are, tell me in advance. I find most 1:1 dogfights very boring unless I am killed consistently by a superior pilot. At this point, it becomes fun.

I don't know how you got my civilian name and frankly I don't care, but what I do care about is that you think you can destroy me. There is no way you or your squad can control me. I apologize if I misstated your statistics, I was obviously misinformed about you and retract that statement. Like I said before I fear no pilot or group on JCN. I will be glad to play you any time, but I play with realistic settings, so you will either have to host yourself or learn to count BBs. I enjoy a good dogfight and if you have anything that resembles a brain in your head you will know that I am a good stick, so watch out. As for your supposed police force give up. There is no way you can control my squad or any other on JCN. You couldn't as koenig_23rd and you will not now. The 23rd is strong, as is all other squads worth anything. You are disilusioned if you think you can control anyone on JCN. This is a game. Don't think you can control ANYONE, and frankly I could give a SHIT about SCO. I think it is detrimental to the gaming community to form a group that believes it is better morally, skillfuly, tactfuly, or any other way to another group. Call off your dog I already have a pretty good idea who it is so terminate him or I will. There is no way you can affect the 23rd so don't try, and you claim to have no control over SCO, but by speaking for them you assume partial if not full authority over said squadron. Give up your subversive and useless efforts and enjoy the game for what it is, a great game that has a potential to be alot of fun if people didn't tae it so damn seriously. I look foward to playing you and we will see who is the better stick.

General Wildcat, Comanding Officer, 23rd Tactical Fighter Wing

Mr. Orzel,

From your first sentence, you have displayed an ignorant understanding of your own e-mail program and of the English language. Is it that you are so worried of your status in an online game among faceless piers that you will be demoralized? WHO GIVES A SHIT MIKE? You must be a truly insecure person. Please get a life Mike. Do yourself a favor and read my old replies and then read the one you just sent me. Almost all of your statements are absolutely contrary to what I have attempted to tactfully explain to you. I have no reason to hide behind or lie about any of my statements. Why should I? It's just a fucking game! Do you understand that? I could care less about your infantile insults. Don't pump yourself up to high about the 23rd either. I don't recall seeing you or any of them online before. I am beginning to see why a quality squad such as the Scuba's have found you so distasteful. I feel compelled to expose you to them and SCO. Can you give me one good reason why I shouldn't? I suggest you keep your distance for a while and stay out of JCN. You are not the type of person I want to be associated with. You can forget about an air to air combat too. I'm afraid that if I shoot you down, you might commit suicide and blame me for it.

Please don't send me any more email. You seem like a very disturbed person that is in dire need of psychiatric help.
