Well, Flying Tonight and my squaddie Adog31st was being pursued bye a 190. So as soon as i got to adog he was shot down. I was about 400k from the 190 and thought why not. So i fired about 30 rounds him. Flew bye and all of a sudden i heard 'b00m!' "you killed pacerr#1" appeared.. i was amazed and kept flying.. All up intill i received this. Ps: this is very lame, sad, pathetic, etc
ITS A GAME! no need to say nasty things.

removeing PM'ing between different sides would fix this, and the "spy" problem

Forget that. I PM people often and try to be polite. Others do as well. It's also a great way to set up duels, ask how they did something, etc.

As for spys... Who cares? Map resets every Wednesday anyway.

I've shot down pacerr b4 but never got a mean or nasty message from him. He has shot me down b4 as well and I sent him a meassage saying " I'd salute you pacerr for the kill but you never return them so why bother" All in all just another day in the MA.

I'd say forget about it and just go on. Chalk it up to maybe someone having a bad day. I'm not sticking up for pacerr at all here so don't get that impression. I'm a Bishop and he is the enemy as far as I'm concerned. There are many others here who type that crap on the text buffer after you kill them. Evidently they can kill all they want but when you kill them you are a HO Dweeb or pick some nasty bad name.
Kids will be kids.

No way !

PM is a great way to send someone a if you happen to kill them in a good fight, rather than on ch200 and announcing it to
the arena.

There's also lots of folks on the "other team" that I chat to on private.

This certainly is a good example why it is best to hold your tongue in the arena. It makes you look bad when it hits the BBS, or on channel 200. You can look so dweebish with a whine, and in front of the whole MA that listens to 200.

No matter how high your temper flies (my joystick has hit the wall many times). Just don't type a thing. Talk it out with your buddies in your squad if you have to.

But just bite your tongue and wait, you will get him back

Unless of course it is Fester who shot you down, then just bite your tongue

just to clarify that's "on the other team" not "batting for the other team"

You know a little bit of training can REALLY help with that problem.

All you have to do when you feel the urge comeing on to say something you know you probably will regret. Is reach up, hit Alt-F4.

NOW say it.

Walk away, cool off, take a breather. We ALL deal with frustration, the secret is to deal with it, not share it.

Yeah but Shane is actually funny more than offensive. I enjoy killing time as I fly to target reading his comments. I think if you kill Shane and don't get insulted, that's when you should feel insulted:D
