Typically, my rules for FFA are simple:
1) Don't vulch; aircraft landing or taking off are NOT targets. If possible, call before you engage.
2) Ackstars will be booted, as will dweebs parking at the end of any runway in a mobile AA platform.
3) If someone calls you with "don't shoot"...."hold fire" or anything similar, you better not open up. Firing on a person like that will get you kicked out.
4) If I, or someone else, is trying to help someone you do not interfere. Requesting permission to engage is fine, but if you're denied do not fire.
That last one is nearly exclusive to my games, and it sounds like the TA. I turn down the fuel burn rate, and double ammo loads, for the reason of helping someone out. If you want to FFA at A25, have at it, just don't come to A30 when I'm helping someone. An experience this morning in the TA re-inforces this.
A character decided he'd fire on anyone, including myself and Mayhem attempting to figure out a problem. He could barely keep the aircraft up, let alone shoot straight. He fired on me once while I was landing, and killed me after I pulled a mock gun pass. After that, it turned into a vulch-fest. He'd come up in a tank or Ostwind, I'd blast him. If he took an aircraft up Mayhem would hose him down. Why? He refused to call before he engaged, vulched, and refused to read the rules in the TA. We found out why not long before I logged; Korean new guy who didn't speak english well.
To quote both him and Mayhem:
xxxxxxx: what is boob kye
Mayhem: Boob key, I wish I had a boob key!
Delta6: ROFLMAO!
