AvA rules of conduct

[TheBug]

Always got to love the guys that pat themsleves on the back.  Says more than anything communicated via fair "gameplay".

The most fun Iv'e had recently was last week in the AVA.

I find it extremely refreshing to have an arena with gentlemen's rules.

I think these rules should be posted upon entering. I also think once the knowledge of these rules gets out and players become aware of the type of fighting that goes on in the AVA as a result numbers will increase.

I have always hated flying the 109, but because of limited selection chose to fly the 109f4. Now I really like it and have been flying it in the ma aswell.
The AVA is probably the best training arena for veteran flyers because it forces you to fly planes you would not otherwise select, and you get a chance for some really good duelling where you get to pratice turn fighting without worrying about getting ganged or HOed.

What could be better.

I intend to fly in the AVA more often and find the atmosphere generally promotes a higher quality of play. But, had the rules not been posted I would have gone around doing what is normal in other arenas.

I hope the players in the AVA will continue to foster a high level of gentleman like play.

To give a good example, I was in a Hurri the other day, had my engine shot out, and as I coasted in to land in a field, I typed on 200 that I had no engine.
My persuer typed back go ahead and land and he boke off. I wish I could remember who it was but I cant. He was a true knight of the air. When I landed some other guy dove in and blew me up. Well thats the way it goes.

The point is if we all played like the first guy, can you just imagine how much fun the AVA could be.

We all know we can get kills by vulching HOing and high angle shots, but it takes more to saddle up and that is really satisfying. To have an arena that works different from the others is great.

To those who work hard to create this type of environment in the AVA I SALUTE you.

Thank You.

I'll say this

Were you to text that to me or if it was obvious you were limping a badly wounded bird home I'd let you go.

But that's just me.  I know a lot of the other regs that would do the same.

Originally posted by storch sadly the very (for the most part) [non]players who bring you these planesets are either too obstinate or too disinterested in what actually occurs during play time to listen objectively to suggestions from players who are in there every day and consider making minor but impacting change which would in all likelihood manifest the gameplay change many would like. [/B]

Of course, not to be confused with the [real]player found in the AvA wearing strange hats, calling themselves players and pilots, and generally enjoying a product they pay $15 a month for.  Of course, they could start wearing skirts on Wednesday when they fly and join the Gunfighters.

The AVA would benefit from a return of the Checkertails IMO.

But I also think we need to be careful about coming here and posting screenshots openly to the public.  I think it is better done with PMs and in a spirit goodwill.  As Dichodog has mentioned.
 

I like the screen shots.  Until I saw them, I was under the impresion he was fighting Storchita or TB.  Hmmmm, what gave me that idea?

[kilz]

screen shots are good there was nothing wrong with them. use them as a tool instead of an insult. what he is showing there is the deference between two peoples front end view. also what is a ho shot and what isnt a ho shot. that the select few that respeact the AvA cant take it as that then they dont have the heart that the AvA arena calls for.
