I agree, another suggestion  had was get rid of kill messages alltogeather. That way people would be less inclined to seek out revenge on someone they don't like. I personally could care less who i shoot down/who shoots me down. I'm just there to have fun.
I have always wondered about the validity of "You have been shot down by <name>".  If your plane is shot down and/or pilot killed, why would you care who it was that killed you?  I mean, after that, you'd be flying a cloud if you're lucky.

Why not just put a box in settings to auto <S> your kills and leave out who killed you?  This would make it it near total anonymous and be a step in leaving the ego behind.

Maybe?

Kill messages is an arena setting. Why not turn them off?

Anyway.....

My suggestion list.

Planesets derived from specific WWII battles for 2 weeks at a time with appropriate map

Shorter icon distance. 1 mile enemy id is plenty.

No Kill messages

No ack at all. I hate all robots even if they can't shoot well. I don't worry about vultching because I up from far away to climb to 25K anyway.


I'm sure there is other stuff but I'll wait to post it another time

Its a good idea but years of dealing with arena settings and trying to get new code has taught me to go for the possible instead of the ideal.

He didn't say that he expected everyone to fly at 25K. He said he would be at 25K. The title of this thread is AVA Suggestions, he's just giving his. Seems if you're intent on everyone getting along you'd try yourself.

i would love to get along with him. then again i dont know him. im sure if i met him in person, i probably would. i can get a better feel for a person in real life then what someone writes in a post on a bbs. most people in here have a tendancy to hide behind their computers. they say what they want because "they can" or because its "their US$14.95/C$16.03" and rightfully so.

However its not the real person. i dont think any of those posts are real. i think its a game of "im bigger, badder, and more powerful then you!" because of "A" personalities and because they're not face to face.

i think if we were all in the same room it would be, Hey Larry, or so you're the Infamous Jaeger! or hey shifty, great to meet you finally!! but we're not.

instead we make our opinions known. we say stuff thats mean or bad because no one is watching or will say to you "hey man be cool!" or something to that effect. then of course theres always the ever popular JG54 is this and JG54 is that!!  so this is what we're left with.

back to the point, would i like to get along with him yes!! if hes on range, am i going to start on him? absolutely not! I only show respect to all that i meet or i squelch if i dont like them. I'm sure he's a nice guy and we would get along!

I've learned that if you dont like someone, dont respond to them. dont say things to make them mad. dont say things just to get a reaction. just be nice!!

This forum is so we can help make the AVA or the MA's or the FSO's a better place. so lets do that. lets make it a better place! we can start by keeping personal feelings out of it. Be cordial or even professional to each other. talk to other's like you would talk to your grandmother.

alot of the comments would not be made if grandma was sitting right there. so if you wont do it infront of her, dont do it.

thats my suggestion to the AVA. thanks for listening!  :)

Trust me , Dawger won't be at 25K very long. Why, just the other day I was able to entice him off the perch and a fun fight broke out ;)

(was a fun fight Dawger)

When most of the action is happening around 5K, the high guys will always come down, ya just gotta use the right bait.

cheers,
