TC I hear ya!
I cant imagine being a new guy to online gaming and having someone in here talk to me like some have. Some are downright mean. "Kill the FHS...we are trying to get a goon in!"..."No dont kille the FHs, we want to vulch a while!.....great..(name) you idiot why the *(&)( did you kill the FH?
There are atleast 4 camps in here...probably more.
1. Land grabbers..I call Realtors. They go in low and try to kill the base and town and try to capture.
2. The Purists...they fly seriously, try to survive, wont commit to a land grab if it endangers them. More concerned with the realistic aspects of the game, rather than the map.
3. The Score-potatos...prefer vulching over anything else, dont cooperate with Realtors at all, mouthy to anyone who defies their opportunity to vulch, and seem to rtb just as the goon appears at the base.
4. The Fuggits...usually armed with a mixed drink or a cold beer, in between smoke breaks...come in, fly die, have fun their own way, usually a mix of those stated above.
Its hard to get all camps organized in one direction. The main thing is to have as much fun in the game as you can, and to use a little self discipline in watching what you say to fellow players. What we do here in the game impresses nobody in the real world. We dont go sit around bars in town picking up the ladies on our AH prowess.
Alot of folks who play here and in other games are lonely, socially "retarded" individuals, who never learned to play nice with other kids. Thats life...when they surface, its best to ignore them and squelch them. To try to defend your online honor is as pointless as his arguement. Just laugh to yourself, and pity the poor soul. This game may be the only thing that person has going for him.
