I feel you are hopeless, but i will try one more time.
There are no 'unwritten rule' about HO unless you in DA. HO give you ~50% chances to win regardless of skill, if you happy with it you can HO every time. Good pilots prefer to avoid HO because they can achive far better results using their skills.
HO merge is common thing and its how most very good fights begins. Shooting in HO merge makes you looks like dweeb and puts you in great disadvantage if your opponent know what he doing. Always expect HO shot never shoot back, its first step to victory.

BS, otherwise this conversation would NOT exist.
You also tend to contradict yourself.
I don't know ages of people in here so it inhibits what I should expect.
Dude, I'm not back pedaling to phonics. Either you don't understand what I am saying OR you just don't WANT to understand what I am saying. You're right you best let it go. Just in case you don't....
The HO appears in almost EVERY flight, and that's ok, but you tend to mix apples and oranges as if every HO merge and pilot is exactly the same. Think outside the box for a minute,... or don't <shrug>
The fact that 80% of the pile-its do not honor the first pass is why I will fire on you. If you don't like that concept, that's fine, but I get sick to death of honoring it after a 20 minute flight just to have to up and waste that time all over again because of a tard no-skill point mongering fool who hasn't "gotten it" yet. If you don't like my idea that's fine, it's also TS. Sorry.
I've been flying for 14 going on 15 years, I don't need piloting advice, I need to learn the game interfacing and the strat system.
I'll repeat myself SLIGHTLY one more time, then that's it, you're the one being hopeless here. I hate arguing with contradictions involved, that's worthless.
Yes I can avoid an HO AND kill him in the same pass, scissors work just fine, especially staying inverted, will put you on his 6 90% of the time in the same pass.
The point *I* made is, if pile-it A chooses to pull into a short range direct flow HO he's going to get fired on. A direct HO also means possible RAM and we all know they will do that too. I see NO harm in that as HE chose the path and I WILL give him that 50% chance instead of 100% chance, I'm not completely brain dead but I still have a few brain cells that communicate once in a while. At no point that I ever even hint that it would be me just going out and HOing everyone. IF I do honor the first pass, and he trys to fire on me, every pass with a HO merge will spray tracers into him. That's just smart flying like it or not.
I'm starting to think you don't want people to rebel against those who do not honor it to give yourself that 75-100% attempt? People just don't misinterpret things 2-3 times without an agenda plugging the nerve center. I dunno <shrug>
What sucks about my idea is people who do honor it like a decent pilot would, would get bummed. That's the only thing that bothers me, as for the dweeb we ALL know does it on purpose,... screw him, he can waste that time all over again. I'm tired of clearing the way for idiots by honoring something the other pilot will not.
Here we're talking about Honoring a first pass and yet you say there is no unwritten rule.
I don't mind dying, I mind it when I get nothing but HO deaths, no real fights and a HUGE waste of my time. Screw that.
I assume you don't know me, I'll give you that,...but please don't insult me with "needing training" the only thing I don't got a grip on 100% in this game is the interface. I'm not even flying seriously yet, I'm still finding the limits of the planes and dying by trial and error.
