Dead Pilot no longer on line?

[SHawk]

I only salue if I win! 

Do you only spell Salute correctly if you lose?

[WMLute]

I do the oposite. I salute those who shoot me down (if it was a clean fight). I ofcourse salute back if the guy i kill salutes me. I feel that it is up to the victim to salute me if he feels i flew well.

I try to type something out before my plane hit's the ground and I see who it was that shot me.

It might be a simple "n/s" or "g/k", but I make the effort.

I found that sometimes after I see the name of the pilot that shot me down I don't want to say anything, which is why I try to do it before I know who "got" me.

When I used to play Quake I could pretty much instant quit out by hitting console button+ q + tab + enter. I became so good at doing it.. I'm sure a lot of people get good at ALT+f4 instanteously after theyre shot down and get a little bit grumpy.

[K-KEN]

To answer some questions, I usually check the text buffer for the correct spelling if I get the error message and then try again. So, there is no spelling error on my part. I see many folks tend to just bail. I guess it's the nature of the beast. The roster usually confirms they are gone.

Of course it's rare that I'll get a Salute from someone that just got their butt kicked with Alt, E, spixteen,LaLa or 5 friends.

That is so very true shawk I must have painfully owned hundreds of people in uber planes from disadvantage in something like the mosquito. Only the most decent of people seem to accept it and be able to laugh and compliment when they are killed in unlikely situations. Most MA flyers seem to think a mosquito that kills their spit16 must be a hacker or cheater in some way.
