So after nine years of playing Aces High as C.O. with Pigs On The Wing there has become an issue about us oinking.
Some of you think its funny and some of you wonder what is the oinking about and some just hate and despise the oinking. I think giving my squaddies a salute or wtg pig style oink is ok. What makes it so offending that people are going out of thier way to try and disband our squad and or band the oinking. Last time i heard this is america and we have a right to freedom of speech. I understand the cussing implacations but oinking
seriously? You hate it so much you whine and bug skuzzy. (you know who you are.)
Ok go!! time for you all to rip me apart just out of spite. quote all my words and disect them
thats what I've come to expect here thats why I don't come here.
Nows you chance for you to convince me how and why the oink is bad. "Oink"
I have played for 7+ years on Aces High and up until this year, I have never seen repeated "oinks" by POTW squad mates on country channel like I do now ... so this phenomenon is not steeped in history.
Nobody is really saying it's wrong in the literal sense ... more so, the question is why ? ... why do all the POTW need to "oink" on country channel each time one of their squaddies lands kills in the buffer ? It basically boils down to "LOOK AT US !!!" ... It may be just me, but self-promotion is "empty". Like I said in the other post ... let your countrymen give the WTGs on country channel if they feel a POTW pilot deserves it. Personally, anything less than 4 kills does not even register on my "WTG" scale, but I have seen the multiple "oinks" on country channel for landing 2 kills ... hardly an accomplishment to spam the country channel with POTW "oinks".
For the 7+ years that I have played, and all the squads that I have flown with, the squad backslapping has always been contained either on the "squad text" and/or the "squad vox". When I flew with the MAW, on squad nights, we would have over 60+ squaddies on and I can't remember 1 time that when a MAW squaddie landed kills, we all felt the need to give a WTGs on country channel ... the reason was it wouldn't be right to spam the country channel in consideration to all the others in the country plus we let our actions gain the respect of the country and not self-promotion.
Believe it or not, but sometimes there are important messages broadcast on country channel and when the channel is spammed with useless text, that information is lost ... unless of course you always fly around with the text buffer in full display.
Hopefully you don't take this post as a "rip", because that was not the intention ... interpret it as "advice".
