The meaning of <S>.....?

[moot]

'Takes two to tango'.

[FLOTSOM]

To me that Salute would have meant something seeing as I consider Snap a pretty good stick, as well as a number of other people I'd like to kill. But, like I said, I'm old school. I'm here for the fun and trill of the fight...... the occasional lightly used sheep is a plus   

oohhh you foolish foolish naive you!!! to think you almost had me believing the line of perpetuded poop you so vigorously espoused upon us poor unwitting saps of the cartoon airways!!!!

you had me going ill give you that, yes yes you sure did have this fish by the gills you did sir! and  will salute you for your efforts <<SALUTE>> for they were mighty efforts indeed!

but sir, you failed yourself when you took your fable just that touch too far!

you confessed your sinful misguiding of the truth by stepping just to far into the realm of fantasy for any man of reasonable intelligence to follow! it was a road of darkness and deceit that could only give your malicious abuses of the truth away for the evils that they surely were!

For you to put forth into this honorable and noble discussion the statement, and i quote you sir, "the occasional lightly used sheep is a plus" is purely and painfully so apparently an abuse of the truth that you must be denounced as fabricator of fibbery!

SIR i denounce and condemn you sir!

everyone knows as a course of fact that the "sheep", as you so quaintly and cunningly have called them, are not what any man of moral standing would call "lightly used!"

any man of moral standing would do no less than name those creatures of ill-repute by the only name they could be called, that being the "shaggy harlots squaddies"!

furthermore to imply by your statement that these beasts, of wilful wiles, were of any resemblance to pure and wholesome in their merely slightly used manner is painfully laughable! why you sir know these decrepit creatures to have had more miles of tread put on them than the German autobahn during the allied invasion! especially when you yourself carry the knowledge that you have paid enough tolls upon those wretched roads to pay for the building of your own bridge!!

to even utter in jest anything different is pure adulteration and misfabrication of the gods good truth!

you sick man, i denounce you as a fibber!

Dam, I used to salute ammo bunkers, troop barracks and the like when I'd go up against em. They all put up a great fight.

    they get everyone once in awhile.

[Tr1gg22]

RULE#1 I never salute unless saluted first, unless I respected the pilots skills....
RULE#2 I would never salute a a picking or ganging pilot ... Unless I was saluted for great flying against the odds...
RULE#3 A Salute is a sign of respect that needs to be earned....
RULE #4 If I do not salute you that's because you are a chump and you have not yet earned it

It was also a way of nurturing "the code" and if you gave out a <S> improperly you didnt get silence or a lame uncalled for <S> with someone biting there tongue...you got a dressing down on text and you got your butt ganged for a week if needed.

Sounds like fun.

[AWwrgwy]

EW, MW, and DA, first thing I do is squelch Ch 1.  It's 200 I'm "forced" to endure otherwise.  No Ch.1 = No <S> either.

Just a thought.

Heres another angle,...Take a guy like me, I truely never had ch 200 tuned for about 4 yrs, I never spoke to the enemy,... and being a former marine, it took a while to <S> someone that just kilt me. I didnt discover  the bb for a few yrs, I just wanted to fly n try to kill the red guys,. I didnt care what the comments from the enmy were. Looking back, it wasnt a bad idea,......- when ya get sick of ALL text, break out the ducttape, put it over the textbox, and enjoy what ya do. I've done that too.

I use it as a way to say good fight or a sign of respect to someone. Iv got HOed, picked, ganged, etc. by people that gave one and then cried about not getting one back. IMO if you want one you need to earn it first.

[lagger86]

sometimes I get so wasted I have no idea who I <S> or why, then I probably pm some poorly typed gibberish that just makes me look like an idiot...after all of that...I think to myself "well done Lagger, you got your point across"

You took the words outta my mouth. Now give 'em back to me 

[B4Buster]

The one fingered salute is my favorite 

[Ghosth]

With that <S> comes some respect, like it or not. Your choice to accept it or deny it.

But you can hardly fault him for sending it.

Personally I often send a <S>  to someone who didn't really "earn" it.
If they earned it they get a "great fight" or "Nice Evasive" or "Awesome shot" along with the <S>.
If they didn't, they just get the <S>, which hopefully takes some of the sting out of dieing.
If they killed me I expect them to do the same for me. <S> or not, comment or not, his choice.


As such I really don't see what your upset about Humble.
Respect, sent, or received, is still respect, accept it or not.
But I don't see a reason to complain about it.

Flotsom, what do you do for a living?  I hope it's something creative that makes use of your writing talent.  That was a pleasure.

[Anaxogoras]

when ya get sick of ALL text, break out the ducttape, put it over the textbox, and enjoy what ya do.

Excellent advice.

Maybe the Ki was impressed on how you held them off, maybe you gave him a good fight, maybe he was just trying to be respectful.
