I don't have the bail command mapped. I am not a pantie waste..

I take it like a man and ride her in.

If I see a pantie waste, and it's convienent ??

I shoot them till they pop because they disgust me..

Wussie touchy feeley pantie wastes..

That about covers it.

Alllows for yes, promotes? I doubt that. I think HiTech left that part up to us.

And how does this make chute shooting discourteous exactly?  Just because people whine about it doesn't make it unacceptable or lacking in common courtesy.  What one calls cold-hearted anti-social behavior, I call clutter removal, situational awareness booster, and target practice.

Ha ! I've not 'flown' for many years now. But threads like these bring back fond memories.

Here's a toast to the Zosmas of this world. That they may live in the virtual world forever. That future virtual pilots may kill their sorry tulips hanging from the silk over and over for many years to come. And may their pityful whining be our glorious reward, for ever and ever.

Amen.

Oh, good.  Gotta get rid of that stigma of honor. :)  Really, if you like cherry picking, give kill-stealing a try.  Those flaming wrecks can move in the damndest ways! I'm sure it would be fun, and a challenge!  What do you say?

OOOOoooooOOOOOoooooOOOOhhh... .that was pretty harsh! :lol  I hope I'm not getting under your skin?  Hey as long as you're back here, you can answer that question I had for you.  Do you the other player after a good fight?

Looks like the discussion is moving forward!  Good for you, Leviathn.  That's a great question.  But you're getting ahead of the class here.  Before we get to that, do you agree that common courtesy has a place in the game?  Without that, we can't move forward to this brave new world. :D

Welcome to Ace's High. This ain't "Red Baron." :D

FU back. :aok


In Red Baron we didn't have chutes.....just rode those suckers in....

You'd think there'd be something about dogfighting in a thread titled like this one.. Chutes can maneuver now?

Getting under my skin?  Of course not.  This is an online forum that hardly merits that sort of emotional attachment.  Sorry to disappoint.

Here's a question back at you... what do you think I do after a fight?

As senility sets in for you, perhaps it's time to refresh your memory on what I've consistently stated on this matter.  Here's a quote from the other thread:

Quote
Dead Man Flying:You're going to have to deal with the fact that vulching does not represent a breach of moral conduct, or you're going to grow tired quickly by your righteous indignance at every instance of it. It's not a matter of showing "dignity" in a game, because it's part of the game itself. What many of us already understand and you somehow fail to grasp is that vulching or chute shooting or gangbanging or whatever are no less dignifed than fast breaks in basketball or powerplays in hockey. It's absolutely ridiculous to attribute moral weight to it.
[/b]

In other words, the activities that you consider subhuman breaches of common courtesy are not.  They're parts of the game that exist outside of "honor" or "common courtesy."  Do I now have to connect the dots for you on this one, or do you think you can do it yourself?

You have already beaten him by killing his machine. Shooting his chute just adds an insult. Those that kill the chute just to add the insult need to grow up.

Like YOU need target practice Leviathn, give me a break :rofl
