Fightertown in Doughnut Map?
« on: October 13, 2005, 10:59:21 AM »
I happened to be on when the doughnut map first appeared and just happened to be positioned at one of those fields that have now been called "FighterTown" and am bish.  I upped to be greeted by a set of B-24's with la7 escorts and they hit our base.  I don't remember if it was knit or Rook but they took the first strike initiative only minutes after the new map came online.  It didn't bother me a bit and there is NOTHING to indicate that it is a fighter only zone when one logs on.    If you want a "Fightertown" or "GVtown" area only on the maps, they should give you that message when you log on as they do with registration for scenerios and other information.  Don't squawk about it after somebody spoils your fun as like trash... One persons fun is another persons anguish or one persons trash is another persons gold.  I was not present during the incident in question but from all the message board flak, I would say that some had some fun and some got a few pounds of anguish or even downright anger.  The object of this game is NOT to capture fields, win the map, or even kill other players, it's to have fun doing those things.  I see personal attacks, folks calling other players idiots but not much in the way of anything constructive in formulating a solution that would please all those involved.  Folks have stated that it could have the map rooms removed to make them uncapturable or have them become able to withstand the greatest amount of damage and survive but that would require some program changes.  I believe that the easiest solution is to have a message upon entry of the game identifying those "special areas" and then the community can address those who violate the spirit of those areas themselves

All the Best...

---- Stepping on the soapbox ----

I can't speak for everyone and I haven't been online a whole lot but I'll put my 2-cents worth in anyways:D

I know AH is by NO means the same as Air Warrior was. We now have great graphics, awesome planes, so on and so on.

But the one thin AW DID have was a full fledged community spirit on and offline. It wouldn't take much for everyone to realize, it's a game. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose but just the same, it's a game.

Players should win with grace and lose with grace.

None of this::furious and none of this:cry

and none of this when you win::rofl (It's not very nice to degrade someone)

As in any game, I follow the rules and if certain maps are made with certain rules then I follow them if it is posted that those are the specific rules for that map.

That's my 2-cents worth. And once again we thank you for your support!

Nice! I definately agree with your summation of the problem.

it's a game, a highly competitive game (for some anyway). various poepl wear various game faces.

butch up.  

if you want all "thank you sir, may i have another display of your outstanding talent?"  then find a box sim with the approproate AI.

but no matter what, at least keep it clean - think of the children and all.
Surrounded by suck and underwhelmed with mediocrity.
I'm always right, it just takes some poepl longer to come to that realization than others.
I'm not perfect, but I am closer to it than you are.

That's the biggest thing about a good strong community. Recognizing that there are people here of all ages.

what did air warrior cost a month?

was it like warbirds at $2 an hour?

AH was a different "community" when it was $30 a month and I am sure only the truly dedicated played wb at $2 an hour

it's simple

lower cost = more riff raff
higher cost = less

Yup, same as real life. The higher the cost of the home the less chance you live next door to trash.

To assume that only the poor are *******s is the height of arrogance. Just because you'll spend 30 a month on a video game, doesn't mean you're as charming, intelligent, and witty as your therapist says you are.

I can't agree with the cost=class bit. I saw a guy on lastnight degrading a guy who volunteered to help a guy with his PC, and bragging about how educated and well off he was. Sometimes the rich lost something along the way to the top.

    If Hitech was to make 3 arenas, a high, middle, and lower class arena, based on the income of each player, each arena would still have its share of jerks and good people.

so you think WB at $2 an hour had as many punks as MA AH does at $15 a month?

I don't

If WarBirds is so freaking wonderful, a virtual utopian society among the savage hordes of the online gaming communities, how come you're here now, and not playing WB?
