NP Hexx, you're added.
So anyway, here's the rest of the story for our listening audience...
I get a yell (and, btw, I do mean YELL) from DieHard along the lines of "Green, draft me in 6,11". (Please note, I have accurately represented DH's demenor when he asks a player to join him for a battle of gaming goodness).
Anyway, I do exactly as I have been told, after all I've flown with DH on a countless number of dynas under his command, and lo-and-behold across the stars I see none other then Hexx's name appear...so I know exactly what I want to do.
So off I go, at max speed, with a level 3 tractor, straight at what I believe to be Hexx. DH, meanwhile, is yell ... I mean asking me to slow down and stick with him so he can charge and then we can go in together. Screw that I think ... this is Hexx ... Kill him is GO1 in the Alliance camp (and the KBF camp, but I won't go there).
Anyway, I go off helter-skelter looking for Hexx and I see a SK-whatever (Hexx was flying an X frig) and I go fulll-bore, don't-give-a-rat's-ass-what-happens-next-as-long-as-I-kill-Hexx charge. A couple of minutes later the ship I grab is dead. Blowed-up. I am grinning (because I know I have now done humanity a service).
Unfortunately ... unbeknownst to me, that wasn't Hexx ... he was actually in the other ship (that I thought was AI) in the background and, of course, immediately taking "defensive action" (aka running to the border).
Totally bummed (mainly because I have to now hear DH yel ... I mean ... critique me ... on the finer points of staying with my wingman).
In the end,
Hexx ran. But it would have been nicer if I could have posted
Hexx died.
But what lightened my spirites was talking on TS2 and hearing DH exclaim to the rest of the pilots "Green thought Hexx was the AI" and everyone else commenting... "Honest mistake, you really can't tell the difference anyways."
