Dear Banshee Pilot, whose name has 4 characters and played in Tourmaline Desert earlier this evening (4/15 at roughly 11:40pm).

You may believe I wasn't contributing enough - among your comments were "why are you shooting from Kansas to the Moon", but please note that when the game ended**...

• I had more kills (you had 0)
  
• I had more assists (you had 1)
  
• I did more total damage (you did 79)
  
• I scored higher (your score was 11)

I would like to have carried harder, but I'm in a Spider with only basics unlocked so far, and as you pointed out in chat, I had only bothered to equip an ER Large Laser and a Flamer. I appreciate your strategy suggestion, but with 2 cherry red legs and being outnumbered 3 to 1, I don't think "just charge them" suited me at the time. At least I inflicted some component destruction and a little more harassment before their kit fox finally finished off my legs.

While I generally dislike arm-chair quarterbacking, I will grant that your commentary was pithy and entertaining. I would like to have responded in-game, but you said you couldn't hear my voice over the noise, and I was too busy piloting to respond with text. Unfortunately you disconnected too quickly after the scores were shown for us to have a polite after-game discourse.

Maybe next time?

** I'd post my own scores, but frankly I was a little embarrassed by them, even if I was in a Spider. I respect your audacity though - with numbers like that in a Banshee, I'd have quietly logged off before the game ended, and hoped nobody remembered me afterwards.
