Vulching in Training Room
« on: December 30, 2000, 08:46:00 PM »
I'm really unimpressed, since this happened to me from people I thought highly of and "knew better".

Since the Main Arena is down, I thought I would go into the Training Room.  Seems a lot of folks went there.  I tried to get off the runway 4 times, and never even got to the point of the engine wav finished and was destroyed.

I want to personally applaud paintMaw for blowing me up on the runway twice.  There were two others, but their names elude me.  That was *real* sportsmanlike of you.

I'm hoping the Main Arena returns soon, so those of us that use the Training Room can without harassment.

LOL Sorry for laughing but it always happens when the main goes down. PaintMAW is a fun guy and is always in for a good vulch or chute shoot. Idea look at the map go up and get some alt close by and Flame there behinds and then vulch there arses off. Bet they go up away though too! Salute.. understand your frustration ..Been there , done that!

While the training arena SHOULD NOT be used for this kind of thing, as you see it can't be controlled to that level.

I recomend you take off from an un-occupied field in the TA if you want to be left alone.

To the guys that did the vulching... don't do it in the TA.  It's not cool.  Even if you have a bunch of folks there that are furballing and don't mind, a newbie can walk in at any moment and get waxed repeatedly.  We need all the players we can get so HTC can continue improving this great game, so please keep that in mind in the TA.

Lephturn has put it much better that I did LePaul. When the MA goes down people go into the TA because its a temporary fix to there adiction Since there are no penalties for dying pilots can vulch and mix it up to kill time until the MA reopens. I don't think they are delibaratly trying to mess up the idea of the TA but simply kill some time. Lephturn is correct about the newbies and we all should remember we were starting once too. It's hard enough to get um off the ground and learn the commands without being vulched to death. Sorry I laughed in earlier post. I was doing it because it has happened to us all and I feel your pain.
