Can't fix stupid
« on: August 15, 2007, 11:31:43 PM »
After warning a guy about bandit on six o'clock, I then watched him do
max G flat turning scissors to try to shake him.  I then suggested that a
scissors is not the best move if you want a clear.

     A small chorus of wouldbe fighter heroes wailed about me not wanting
them to do evasives.  After trying to explain that the scissors isn't the
only evasive move..I decided to give up.

     Some folks just ain't worth the effort.

I watched a conga line of rook nooblets attempt to HO a P38 that I was fighting.  two of them managed to smoke his engines, before theu could set up for yet another HO run  I put a tater into the 38's cockpit getting kill.

after the kill I asked on range "why do you guys HO?"  one southerner told that it was his 15 bucks and that he would play as he pleased, another who probably KS'd himself when his rounds missed the P38 and struck me denied he HO'd and the entire peanut gallery of six dweeblettes called me sundried names.

I invited them all to a friendly round in the DA but the respondant silence was deafening.  I then suggested that I would switch to nits and kill them all even as the hid in ack, they responded with bravado.  I logged off, logged back five minutes later, went to the same base and they had gone.  the place was a ghost town, crickets and tumbleweeds.

these weren't even squeakers either.  

I don't know if it's actually stupidity or just simply that the game is hard to master and frustrating to the noob,  just the same I wish the baby seals would remain forever bish, after all thats where they belong.

I don't know what the "best move" is, but when I get a check 6 I try to help..... well first I get over the shock of getting a "check 6"  :D

A rolling scissors isn't going to help the friendly save my butt, so I would do my best to drag the enemy for the friendly. This includes calling out which way I'm turning (so the friendly can pull lead before the enemy even has started his turn), which way Im going to have to do a break turn and so on. Anything I can do to help clear my butt is a plus.

I think this is what Rino was talking about. He gave a check 6 and instead of getting some help in setting up the enemy, the guy just went into defencive mode. While it may help him to make it tough for the enemy to get a shot, it makes it even tougher for someone to save him.

On the other hand, some people just don't want to be saved, some love fighting at a disadvantage, so maybe that was it.
