would this be what you're referring to?


Thats correct I never fired when you metioned to me am I trying to steal your kill, you were chasing him up on his six when I merged in on him with E could've taken him out then but never fired, it was later on when I made a pass over his base almost on the deck when I took a snap shot not knowing he was your foe.....

So... the real problem is not that Shane is better than you guys... it is that he is constantly rubbing your nose in it?

The real question now, actually, is why you're brown-nosing him. :D

I'm not, not really.  If me and Shane tangle, odds are better than even that I'll be the one flying away.  

But he is head and shoulders above the "average" pilot, and he isn't afraid to share that with everybody.

Here is a clue for everyone that hates Shane.  It isn't personal.  To Shane, you are just another faceless newbie that doesn't know how to fight.  Occasionally he'll take people in the DA and show them some stuff.  Even more occasionally it helps.  

The environment has changed some in the 3 years I've been playing.  Back when I first started to about maybe 2 years ago, people actually seemed to get to know one another.  It is a little harder to toss off random insults at someone you actually know.  But with the population explosion, odds are very good that "you" mean exactly nothing to 99% of the people playing this game.  Oh, your squad mates might care about hurting your feelings... and that is it.  You are just Joe OtherGamer to everyone else.

Eh, this was kind of a pointless ramble.  I think I'm gonna quit now.

 Hating Shane is a waste of time. Fighting with him on Ch 1 or the BBS is a bigger waste time unless its just friendly banter. Shane really isnt too bad, just dont take what he says too personally. I dont really agree with his "bedside" manner, but I accept that is him and I can always squelch him if I dont like what he has to say.

  When is the last time you got to know some one in the CT? Anytime Ive seen you there you've been an ass-hole. Maybe I came across to you the same,I dunno. You do have a point about getting to know some one before jumping to the insults. Its helluva alot easier to do in the CT than the MA these days.

I like fighting Urchin and have never found him to be rude or obnoxious,  but then again I could be wrong after all I have to hear whinesalot and Shane most every day. :D  Eveyone else pales by comparison.

It was, really. Now here's yours. Don't make excuses for Shane. Yes, sometimes it's personal. Shane's human and he has more weaknesses than you're willing to believe. It's certainly hopelessly habitual. So is yours. So don't try to blow that "AH lost it's touchy-feelyness due to the population explosion" thang up our keesters. Being an stunninghunk is certainly an intentional act that in the end just makes the individual more bitter than they were to start with. You are the evidence in that. ;)

Here's the flip-side ... I've finally seen Shane almost offer some respect for someone else. Of course at the same time he was in the middle of a trashtalk fight with a third party so it may have been distracting.

Now let's see how much the above bothers either of ya. :D

don't hate me because i can multi-task!!

:D

and it's only personal insofar as it applies to virtual avatars. i rarely slam the person behind the virtual pilot, unless they lash out in that manner first - and then it's just trash talk taken to a different level. ya see, I'm *not* shane.  shane is shane. is that too metaphysical for ya?

immersion has different levels. ymmv.

Surrounded by suck and underwhelmed with mediocrity.
I'm always right, it just takes some poepl longer to come to that realization than others.

Slash hit it dead center right there. The only people who get offended by Shane are the ones who take him too seriously.
