Help Idea For All Countries....descriptiveness
« on: February 03, 2009, 05:03:25 PM »
I can't speak for other countries, but every day in game the knights are bombarded by completely useless information.  It got me thinking that it's probably a universal problem in the game.


"There's a 262!!"

"I see a Tiger!!"

"Wow...3 jugs!"



Here's how to turn absolutely worthless information into something usefull--provided your information is indeed correct:



"There's a 262 at 10K inbound to the base from the northeast with LOTS of E!"

"There's a tiger in the town, on the little rise, directly under the shattered water tower!"

"There are 3 heavy jugs at 12K due north of A8...might be here to pork!"




Other worthless runner's up:


"There's a jeep under the tree!!"    :rofl

"gv's in the woods!!"     :rofl






Communication is a wonderful thing if it has the small details required to make it useful. 


If you are in a Panzer on the way to town at a base under siege, and a friendly flies over you and :20 seconds later calls out "I see a Tiger"....you'd sure as heck like to know the closest to accurate location of that Tiger, wouldn't you?



Even the run-of-the-mill "check 6" would mean a lot more with some details:

"Check 6"  Now...Bob has no clue if there is a 262 on him, a slower FM2, or some guy just hit the wrong key. 

"FBBOB:  check 6!!!  LA& coming your way HOT co-alt!"  Now...Bob knows he better act fast or he's going to get chewed up by cannon fire....

"FBBOB:  Check 6 dude---there's a Zeke trying to climb up to you---but he's 3K out."  Now...Bob knows he has a second or two to finish off his prey before having to worry about the Zero.


By being descriptive about situations, and especially locations, you are not only helping yourself, but helping those around you.  It's not hard, and only takes another second or two to make sure others have the best information available.  Hope it helps  :salute


Good luck in the game. :aok

My favorite has always been watching a conversation unfold on country, but only seeing one half of it because the other party has vox and he's not in range for you to hear.  :lol

My answers are:

.squelch player name

and

Alt + F4

Like I've said, time and again, squelch two people on country and the text buffer practically dries up.
