What it really is, is a SAD state of affairs. I don't know what I find more sad, hiding CV's or spying with extra accounts. Nevermind people who condone and/or encourage either, or both.

Not nearly as sad as it is silly. Think about it. Extra accounts ... to spy? As silly as ... extra accounts to vulch yourself on the field a billion times for points. Maybe someone does it. If so, I think they have more money than brains if that's how they approach their online leisure. Hopefully it's not how they approach anything else.

Personally, I think the claim of people paying HTC extra money so they can have accounts in every country when one more than suffices (if used in even a half awake state-of-mind) is as overblown as accusations of massive, rampant cheating of any sort in any arena. Add to that, that it's only actual cheating if HTC thinks it is. So it's really more of a case of distasteful methods. Even then, though, methinks more suspect than do.

There's a bit of an element of stupidity in everything, I reckon.

I'd figure the real goofy loser types at about 2%. The bottom 2. Split evenly that'd be what .... two or three idiots per side at any given moment (less if it's not prime time)? All it takes, I guess,  but I'm sure some see it more.

Then again:

1: I tend to be an optimist.

2: I really don't care what silly games the rabbit plays, he'll end up in the stew pot. And if he has a second account. Then that's as good as 2 rabbits in the pot.

This wasn't aimed at anyone in particular. Just addressing both the actions and the accusations.

To make things worse, he started shadowing my every move..making sure someone was there to kill me in a gv before i got there, and spawning with me to capture a base... acting like he was trying to help. When an lvt of mine with troops got killed...his buddy (the guy who killed me) accidently asked him a question on ch 200 and totally busted him


68DevilM, if anyone on my squad did this they would get booted. Their actions reflect on the whole squad. Even if your not the C.O. I'd still think twice for defending behavior like that. If something like that would happen to me I would get absolutly LIVID. I know spying is "apart" of the game but the actions above go beyond that. :mad:

And Ontos is sexy when he is mad, so it is partially worth it to piss him off  :p

I've read all of these posts, and Leviathn gets my vote for the best one =)

Why did I all of a sudden have flashbacks of RAGS and the old AW 56th when I read this Arlo? :)

With a bit of deduction looking at the map and willingness to spend time flying around looking, it's not too hard to locate CV's. It's called SCOUTING the enemy. Or just follow me around over any body of water. If a CV is out there, it finds me and blows my kester off. Kinda funny how CV's sorta just hate the heck outta me.:)

Just look at channel 200 as we broke their code. Knowing they know where you are is better than never having known they know..da da da ta da....................:D
