Lightbulb edal86's $20 Reward Challenge (PS3)

As I waited in vain for a match an idea came to me.

I will give a 20 DOLLAR PLAYSTATION NETWORK CARD to anyone that can BEAT ME in 2 out of 3 (1vs1) dogfight matches.
(note: this is a reward challenge not a gambling challenge, all you need to do to participate is to play me)

RULES:
* Anyone can participate
* You must beat me in 2/3 matches ( if we have a draw, then you dont win, example: you win first round, I win second round, we draw third round)
* You can only choose FIGHTER PLANES or JETS (NO BOMBERS)
* armament cannot include rockets or bombs
* you cant shoot at ground targets (will explain later)
* You are allowed only one opportunity per week until there is a winner
* You must respond within 12 hours after I have contacted you for match or I will skip you until you reply

SETTINGS:
* Maps: Britain, Sicily, Bulge (snow)
* Weather: hazy, good, clear (all will be during day)
* SIMULATION ONLY
* 10 minute matches
* Strike: yes, we will play STRIKE matches using only FIGHTER PLANES, this way if you or I crash, a point will be deducted from the tickets. Also, this allows the player that crashes or dies to appear at their own base.
* Limited fuel and ammo ( so you better not shoot like crazy because only way to reload is to crash and this means that a point will be deducted from your tickets.

WHAT TO DO?
* Simply post here that you would like to participate
* I will contact you to assign a match date and time
* no priority challengers (this is first come, first serve)
* If you win I will e-mail you the $20 PLAYSTATION NETWORK CARD code or deposit $15 to your PAYPAL ACCOUNT, your choice.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
* Results will be posted here
* anyone can join, my goal is to have fun
* I will mainly use FW 190, MC 202, Hurricane, in that order according to your skills
* I will only use Spitfire if you are extremely skillful, or if you are a good player but fly the La7
* If you use I-153 or I16 type 24, I will fly your same plane
* If you fly Fw 190, p47, or P51, I will fly your same plane also so I dont have advantage
* If you fly jets, I will fly FW 190 or ME 163

GOOD LUCK

I will take your challenge!
1st on the Team battle board, vs 2nd on the Team battle board.... could be interesting (although I suspect I'm going to get hammered, to be honest)

Can't really give a specific time, but if you see me online drop me a message and I'll see what I can do.

that's a good idea to use strike mode. I will keep doing matches against you till I can beat you so I might as well take the challenge.

I drew first blood that last round vs your sneaky little c202.

I like limited ammo cause it makes it less dangerous to climb. Are there any rules about running away to protect a lead? Since you usually use slow planes.

Great, I have two challengers already, I will figure out the date and time tomorrow because I need to sleep now.

ALL TACTICS ARE ACCEPTABLE, HOWEVER, THERE MUST BE ENGAGEMENT, what you were doing could be considered "boom and zoom", however you cant hide on the opposite side of the map for the entire 10 minutes, get what I mean? Otherwise I would do same thing on the next round, maybe damage your plane so you crash or get a kill and then run to my side of the map and evade you for the remaining time. Also you must consider that there are 3 rounds, so if I see you do this I might get a faster plane.

Very good idea and rules but i'm not interested of your money. Only with good and fair games. I think I will have time to fly at this evening (from about 2hrs from now) not sure yet tho. We'll have to organise some team matches too, at strike mode with these rules. All crashes counts thats good. Bravo edal!

Default List of Challengers

I will be online in about 2 hours or less from now.
So far I have:

* rhah
* kozzmo
*haitch40
* Irrelevant24
* Mage_016 (vieras)
* xxsilencexx
* miatar
* Subarugaz
* hauptmannmolders
* Infinitestates
* Lilya Litvak


***(since it is first come, first serve, you guys have to wait for your turn, example: I cant play haitch40 (official match) until I play Rhah and Kozzmo. This does not mean that we cant have some friendly matches (practice) if you see me online.

*** However, If I contact you for a match and you dont respond in less than 12 hours, then I will skip you until you contact me, fair?

Thanks for the good comments
