This morning while flying dawn patrol a newbie was on channel 1 typing in caps and asking the world questions. I responded with the usual alt-f3, hit enter 3 times answers and I get a message from the sys admin to knock it off. Sure would be nice to see the sys admin on during prime time policing all the potty mouths... or doing something useful like trying to fix the vox bug.

What vox bug?

sometimes people's vox just stops working mid game, and there's no real way to tell except that people quit answering you

Someone will 'key up' and their name will stay in the top right corner and your game volume goes to almost nill. The only way to clear it is to log out and come back in... not an easy task when in the middle of a run.

Wow, and all this time I thought it was just my system that was doing that. Haven't had an issue with it in the last couple of months, though. Then again, I haven't been flying as much the last couple of months so I guess statistically there's been less chance for it to happen.

Are you saying there's a time where I said something retarded on Ch 1, got called on it by a moderator, then came here and cried about how I was being picked on? I'd be interested for you to find this gem, nancy. The whining part, of course, since lord knows I've said plenty of retarded stuff on every channel in the MA.

Yeah, it was the last part refering to the 'tard stuff... just a little incredulous about the swing of the pendelum for what gets your hand slapped, that's all. I guess I'll just have to stick to cussing on channel 1 which is of course tolerated.

Course you could always just say eff it all, focus on doing your homework and get good grades!

I dont get why people find newbies to be so anoying or why others feel the need to make it their job in the game to come up with answers like "alt f4"...

Some n00bs know better, others dont... Thats not the point. The point is, or I guess more so the question is why cant people just help rather than give out smart alick answers that boot them out of the game?

Sure having fun is one thing. But what enjoyment can one get out of watching someone get booted out of the game. Maybe Im just too nice when it comes to helping new guys... I like to take new guys into my squad. Not day after day but when the chance arises and they are willing and able to learn, I help them. Its most rewarding when you see them land a bagfull of kills and they thank you for the help.

I've been helped by many in the game. I feel that its only fair to give it back...

Edit: Oh yeah I am glad the mod PM'd you... Funny how you didnt like being told that in private... How do you think the n00b felt being told to alt f4 out of the game on ch1...? Taste the meds baby... He who giveth will recieveth:aok

Yeah, "eff it all to heck!"...

VWE · « **Reply #14 on:** March 04, 2004, 03:26:36 PM »

I've helped out many, and a squad is a great place to do so... we even have a great training area... but channel 1 in the MA is not the place to 'learn' AH nor to teach it.
