Might I suggest many take what is said on 200 a little too seriously. But if it hurts your feelings....don't tune it!

I personally like to be able to chat with, harass, and or Salute, those that I play this game with, and against. I hear that in offline mode the competition doesn't smack talk.....go try there if 200 is too much for ya!.

Damn, 2 posts in the same thread I agree with!

200 is fun bantor, only the weak holy roller types get upset about it! Geesh, you'd think that people understand it's the internet. We have filters in place to keep the sludge off, so why get all anal about someones tirade, just detune!:aok

Don't think it has anything to do with someone being thin skinned. It has more to do with certain childish people that continually flood the buffer with whines about the how they died and just saying the same thing over and over and over and over again. There's about a dozen of these guys that do it. There the greatest cartoon pilots since sliced bread in thier minds and no matter how they die, they cry about it. I could care less what drivel they spout out. They look like idiots to most, so I just detune 200 most of the time, or squelch them when they get on there little soap box. I just don't have time to listen to grown men act like stupid kids. A little banter is fine and fun at times, it the lamer, continual whiner that's sad. If the dozen or so continual whiners were not on 200, it be a great place. but as in most things, the few ruin it for the majority. Thank God for squelch...easy fix really.

is there anything better then hearing whines of people who just got b-slapped..

Cmustard got high and mighty after i was taunting some kooks with crappy Jousting skills..so he butts in to 200 and gives me the mighty DA CHALLENGE!!!

lmfao...so i say sure meet me at DA...I ding dong DA ditched him..im in MA to kill as many per flight as possible...I have spent plenty of hours in DA

He comes back ..cries...says i was scared to show....then I tell him to meet me at a sector where no enemy is at..I promptly club his baby seal skull 3 times in his plane choice..He then continue to crys that he can beat me...wow

200 like skyrock said shows the turds from the good folks pretty easily...200 is fun...I have laughed out loud a few good times..how can you beat that while playing virtual ftr pilot?

I was flying with cmustard and the jokers that night. I witnessed the whole situation. BigBMaw you spoiled our mission and we were so pissed. I have to admit you got to us on 200. To pour even more salt on the wound, I got pngd from chat for 1 week for responding to you inappropriately. In retrospect all I can do is laugh....I can't believe you got to me.

I don't tune 200, i don't care to hear it, not that i don't like it, I can't honestly say I have ever really listened to it, i also squelch those few people who bug me, I don't think anyone has ever noticed that i squelch and de-tune 200, they don't care, niether do I, I suggest more people take this approach and leave 200 folks alone.

Just my .02

SFCHONDO · « **Reply #26 on:** January 29, 2008, 06:53:59 PM »

LOL Karaya, I'd never squelch you man.

TwentyFo, I know you've played long enough to already know my list.

Connery, ahhh...forget it, not worth the time

I personally enjoy 200, as tiring as some may be at times...especially those dorks who feel the need to give you a play by play account of what some other dweeb is doing....all night.

I can see both sides though. As you are right, we all have the ability to detune 200...though it comes with a price. If you don't want to pay that price, or feel that you shouldn't have to because someone else (or group) is acting like a moron(s), then you get an argument about the channel. Like hondo, I don't think that argument is about being thin skinned. I just don't think people want to deal with/listen to it, but still want to be able to talk to a large portion of the community.

I guess a bigger question would be how it affects the overall community. Does it attract negative elements? are people closing accounts? contributes to griefing? affect how people flying, being affraid of ridicule? Don't have any answers just speculating. but I think these would be the main issues involving gameplay and public channels. Then again, you always have the chance to detune...in fact you have to tune first.

Well said. I detuned 200 about a month ago.....ain't worth a toss to game play but some get giggles outta it.

I remember when channel 1 "Banter" was classy, one liner, tongue in check, thought out, INTELEGENT humour.

How repetitive these same folk are is beyond understanding. Doh! "i was shot by 4 ho guys 6 feet off their runway. They could clearly see I was low and slow in the worst fighter plane AH could offer. They had to gang rape me because I'm fantastic ruining my greatest all time 1v1 and spray me in the face like a cheap hookers pearl necklace....the skilless, running, hoard, Ho tards"

Hardly banter, hardly humour, hardly intelligent:rolleyes:

Cmustard just always has an excuse every time he dies. Just doesn't know when to keep his mouth shut. Like that one night he thought he owned Kappa lmao that was funny.
