True but then again I had just got up from the CV that was at your base.

I'll concede that, but very few of the guys posting have had any involvement in the community outside of using the DA as a mini MA. A blanket statement like that is a hyperbole, and I suppose I could have phrased it differently.

The 2 main factors at work here, and causing friction, are freeloaders, and people trying to make the arena into something it hasn't been in the past (probably due to the almost total lack of structure or moderation), and I stand by my opinions regarding arenas' usage.

Its not an issue with me ,I take issue with people who are vets who continually come to the BBS and smack people for not posting the way they think that they should.The main has no real structure or engagement rules or any other rule other than win the war,win the engagement,thats why when your in a 1v1/2v1/3v1 there's always gonna be another one show up from either side or both sides.

Creton...

That is fine with me. I have no problem with anyone training any where they chose. HOWEVER, there is a moderated and staffed arena soully dedicated to training. Two of them really shouldn't be needed.

You know... what really sucks is that there are some really great people in here that are interested in what the game is really about but they get treated like crap by others both in the air as well as verbally. I really thought this place was different when I decided to pay my hard earned money for a little enjoyment and stress relief. I was very wrong.

It's really too bad that there are so many people who are so pissed off at the world that they take it out on the nice ones. I guess you, and you know who I am talking about, have to use this community to take out your own frustrations about your shortcomings on others to make you feel better about yourselves. Well, fine, if I have given you that pleasure than great, I can think of so many other things I could have said or done to make only myself happy.  Sooner or later, someone is gonna come along and crap on you when you are doing what you think is a good thing and then you will will have this kind of crap to deal with too. Personally, I am in the "service business" and have to take this kind of crap on daily, so go blow your crap at someone else... your words mean nothing to me!


One of these days I might be the one who could clear your 6 or the one who fills your bellybutton with lead and no matter what, I will be enjoying it.



Thanks guys!

I agree...please turn KS off and restore the DA to its old rules....Add a disclaimer about vulching and ignoring etiquette, etc... and if a player is breaking these disclaimed rules record it, send it to HTC and actully MAKE CONSEQUENCES!  problem solved

I'm sick of the DA threads bumping the legitimate threads down to the bottom of the page.

Two things:  39ruk, I've been Arcades057 since I got here a year ago.  I haven't been here long, but long enough to know that half of you take your real-life frustrations out in a forum where you can get away with it without any real-life repercussions.  

The second thing is for LePaul.  I notice you corrected someone on their misspelling of a word.  Have you ever corrected HiTech on his spelling, or do you just nitpick on those you disagree with?   Might want to pass your grammatical skills along to others too.  :aok

I fixed my AH problem:  I found another game.




Hehehe, the shade accountzors must have uber skeelz to get their post count up that high eh?  All those darn veteran 2 weekers screwing it up!


P.S. why do you still frequent the board if you found another game?  Get bored and come to make sure we are doing alright?

P.P.S.  HiTech catches crap all the time from people when he mispells a word, it just doesn't happen as often as it used to.

I still come back here because I'm waiting for the day that this game will be more like a better, newer Air warrior, rather than a daycare center for teens and an anger management class for people with no other outlet.

And because I sometimes get a kick out of some of the historical posts done by some members.

Aren't you a teen arcades?  I thought (memory is slipping) I heard you on vox one night and your voice was high pitched.  So what if i'm a teen, don't blame me for the other 95% that can't handle themselves *cough*half-the-people-posting-in-the-DA-threads*cough*

I don't see why it isn't, Vic........did you ask AirVent to fly with you every night for 2 or 3 months in the TA, and he refused? or vice versa?  all 2 have to do is tune vox or text to each other , 1 up in say knight ctry and another in rook ctry, and go at it, you do not see a friendly icon, you see red/plane type just like in MA, then you can duke it out over & over.........if a player is commited, it should not matter which arena you are flying in to learn really, but I can see where doing it as I had described could be of alot more benefit...no reupping and waiting , etc.......... the Big Bang is the only difference,  but people are allowed to train where they want, and I am not fighting that.......just get tired of  the well, I can not learn this here or there, I must DA, I must DA, I must DA....that mentality is what I find fault in is all......

and as for dedication from a single player,  you are refering to? a student?
