Da Rules Need To Be Posted

[Tabasco]

How about the old Air Warrior "Duel Mode" where opponents are only visible to each other?  A little more coading involved but it was kinda cool.

ohh...very nice Tabasco..I forgot all about that.

The MOTD solution is a very easy fix, and might resolve more problems than one might think at first.  The biggest problem is those borderline delinquents don't like being told what they can and can't do by strangers.  If they see the rules clearly posted by HiTech, I bet some would (relunctantly of course) stop bad behavior when its pointed out to them, more than they do now.  Possibly without a vulch party for emphasis.  Of cours, there will always be the one or two anti-social kindergardeners like 13adMofo who do it for the enjoyment of hurting other people's fun, but it would also give some legitimacy to the veterans trying to explain the rules to the dweebs.

MOTD will fix nothing, rules are only followed if enforced and htc wont ban people for doing such things in da.

On top of it he shouldnt really act on films send in to him complaining about guy xy. You never know what happend before or after the film.

So basically when he puts up a motd stating the rules people will either misread them and find holes, not read them at all or deliberately disobey them. Next step is you want someone with rights to enforce em.

i will write an motd and send it off to HTC, it should only takea  few minutes, then all they need to do is put it into the DA. i'd be quite happy to do it

good man poo you have what I like to

call "POO PULL"

It can't hurt having a MOTD

I think coming from you there's a good chance it will stick.

It sure would cut down  on quite a bit of the stuff, as the majority of folks are decent and upon reading such a MOTD would abide by the rules leaving only the few bad apples.

Some rules take into account "real" life happenings while playing the game
while others are pretty much accepted by the population of online players for
ingame issues.
First are the accepted unwritten rules for real life issues:

1. When nature calls, announcing on Channel One "Pee Break" and ones
    location is accepted as a "timeout". Time may vary but that pilot is
    considered offlimits for that time period.
2. When the beer is empty, announcing on Channel One "Beers Empty"
    results in the same timeout with the additional requirement of grabbing
    beer for anyone that want's it.
3. Wife ack. No explanation is necessary. No time limit is imposed.
4.  Pet interference: dependent on the nature of intrusion and resultant                   outcome as it effects participation.



Accepted unwritten rules for ingame issues:

1. In a base vultching situation the first to call "dibs" goes to the front of the
    line. When mulitple pilots call dibs at the same time, a coin flip will decide
    who is first. Taking cuts is frowned upon.
2. Wiping the goo from ones air screen is an official timeout if it has been
    announced on Channel One. Time may vary dependent on the amount of
    goo present. Multiple kills=more goo. evaluated on a per kill basis.
3.Anyone that bails and opens his chute above 600 feet AGL shall be shot         in their chute. The resultant whining on Channel One will be replied with           the comment "Your Momma"
4. Political discussions, whining about getting killed, ANYTHING in CAPS
    on Channel One shall result in the offender becoming a labeled "tard" and
    shall be shunned by those present.
5.  The talking of "smack" is reviewed on a case by case basis. Good smack
     is a pleasure to read. Badly written smack reflects on the poster more             than the recipient. So good sentence structure and a clear thought                   processes are required so as not to percieved as a "tard".  Talking good
     smack is akin to walking a mine field. The liabilities out way the benifits.
Unwritten rules really are a way of life. They are not hard and fast rules, but rules that have been accepted over time. Think of it as a step up into the world of Aces High.

Nr_RaVeN, I concur with your request for an MOTD pop-up or something, explaining the rules of this particular Arena...........enough people speak up , I am sure HTC will isten, just need the community support backing the idea!!!

This has been requested en masse many times and nothing has been done.

DA not a priority it would seem

[dedalos]

Its not that it is hard to fix.  They dont want it fixed and the retards know it.

Dedalos: POS1 please stop interupting fights.
POS1:
Dedalos: I'll send film to HT
POS2: muhahahahah, they all say that, nothing happens.

At that point the NIKI comes out and POS1 and POS2 remain grounded for 20minutes.  I am sure it was fun for all of us and $45 for HT.

[P0G0]

Judging from all the requests you see these days from some newb asking how to drive a gv, what color do i shoot at,  why wont my plane take off... etc, etc...
What really makes you think these dickweeds are actually going to be able to read and understand an motd?
Theywill ignore it...
Click thru it ..
Or they just cant read to begin with.

You want know why HTC ignores this request?

Its Pointless.

Its not that they don't know or can't read.  Its because it is fun to mess with someone elses fun.  They cant fly or take the time to learn, so whats the next available thing to do?  Up a 262 from another field and pick people off.

Hey WindX, you are one of them, in case you forgot
