Although I don't play this game anymore.

He is right, they are known to do this, but I honestly dont fault them for it.

Anytime u do a mission u risk getting caught befor u get there, sometimes that adds to the fun.

1 person doing it is no different than a whole squad doing it.

Spying is always going to happen until Hightech prevents people from talking to each other over countries and switching countries.

My advice is play it to your advantage if u say a mission is going one place, go another keep them guessing.

What an ass.

29 goons, though, that's pretty resourceful.

I don't remember ever doing that with the Muppets, nor seeing them do it.  The closest such thing I've seen is one ex-squaddie who'd change sides to shoot squaddies down, and he got booted for it.

I used to do that, I never got booted

I've seen BKs post missions, then have other BKs hunt the mission down to pad their scores. Sad.

Everyone relax!!!  It is not the Puppets.  

He said respected squads, tiiiiihihihihihi

FWIW if the person you are PMing logs off, it goes to I believe the next person alphabetically who's online and so forth.

No, it doesn't send the message and gives you the pop up window that says "so and so isn't on line"

That happens when you log into an arena with your last saved radio settings tuned to a player not in that arena.  Or when you try to tune to someone who is not in the arena.

If you're already tuned to someone and then they log, the channel defaults to the next online player, or goes blank.

Whoever came just before Simiral on the roster that night was probably his PM pal and not someone simply randomly clicking other country members to PM.

I've been wrong before though.

Once.

Hmmm...guess that "once" must have been backing Straiga...  

All kidding aside, there are two problems with that theory, Golfer. First is that he PM'd me TWICE, about 10 minutes apart. Pretty much makes it impossible that they guy he was trying to PM had just logged off; although now that I think about it he MIGHT have used roster/tune to. I honestly don't remember if I sent him a PM after the first message, but I don't think I did.


Second problem is the fact that his 2nd PM came was "thanks," after the capture and immediately after he landed 4 kills. That sequence makes absolutely no sense unless he was trying to manipulate the rooks to get more targets in zone. So regardless of who the intended PM target was, the intended consequence was for rooks to swarm in to bust the mission, so he could get kills. I just can't think of any other reason to say "thanks" to the guy he warned after landing kills.

This seems like a completely appropriate intervention scaled to the severity of the offense. Truth be told, the only reason I'm saying anything at all is because I believe community self policing is the best way to minimize dysfunctional gameplay. If consequences for crossing community lines were clear, then we'd see less of what the community in general doesn't want.

Not looking for the "Body Snatchers Finger Pointing" scenario, though. As I said, I honestly couldn't care less about the base capture, and his attempt didn't either prevent the mass drop or stop him from getting the kills he wanted.

Ok, I normally dont engage in these kinds of threads. Just read them.

BUT... I couldn't let the Muppet accusation go by.

Since I have been a Muppet ( currently an ex muppet), switching sides to crash a mission has NEVER happened. And if it did it was coincidental.

Muppets are furballers. They like to fight. When the numbers get low on the country they are on and the fights die out because of a bomber taking out hangers or killing a cv especially when no base taking was happening, they will switch sides to find a fight or balance one out. Especially if all that was happening is vulching for no reason.

When they sign on the first thing they look at is which country has the low numbers and usually go there.

Muppets often fly on diff countries because a few may have a good fight going while the others may want to fly off a cv or bomb gv's.

Muppets are not country specific. They play this game to have fun. Not fly around for tens of minutes droning to some far off base to get one kill.

If there is a good furball going on in any country and its a dead fight where they are they will switch. This has nothing to do with spying or crashing missions.

The day Hitech stops allowing me to switch countries is the day I cancel my account. Ill be dammmmmed If I am going to fly around picking my nose because I can't switch to get into a good fight.

I switch countries all the time. And will continue to do so. This does not make me a spy.

I agree that blabbing mission info like this is pretty cheap. Those who do this are lame. One must have sense of fair play. This is a war "game" therefore we must have good sportsmanship. Its much like looking at your buddies poker cards when he gets up. Its not really ..."C word" but it IS unethical.

some of that is true agent, however I have seen the muppets on rook side when we are 20+ numbers on other countries.

I have seen them fly cap over a field to the point the vulch light is on.

then ive seen them switch sides and come back high alt to kill the vulchers that they were just helping:)

So?

Sounds like what I would do.  If one side has a numbers advantage and is vulching/hording, that's exactly what I do. I know it's too far "outside of the box" for some people to consider switching but some of us don't see the fun in flying the pattern while waiting for the next upper to vulch.

It's funny how you're the only one that says this.  I know you're relatively knew to this game and you haven't been around long enough to know the Muppets.

I've flown with and against these guys for 7 years.  Yes, they do at times engage in the dweebery that is common in the MA like ganging banging, cherry picking and even *gasp* toolshedding.  But that is something we are all guilty of, some, like you, more so than others.

However, in all that time, I have never known one Muppet (even before they were the Muppets) for them to engage in doing stuff like this.  It's not their style.  I would also like to point out that those that complain about the Muppets are twits like yourself.  What I mean by that is, you are one of the dweebs they like to hunt, after all it wouldn't be a Dweeb Hunt without the Dweeb.  So, you complain about them and will try and dredge up as much crap as you can to paint them in a bad light while trying to matyr yourself as the "innocent victim".

You're dismissed child.


ack-ack
