other than that its easy to squelch people if you need to.

Vital infomation? Dont make me laugh sir! I'm sure the world will keep spinning no matter if we know about the goon parked near P42 or not, or that A236 is de-acked.

Yes, such as RumbleB of The Few has landed 2 kills in a LA-7 !
If they spam oink then this important information will be lost. I want the glory of landing 2 lala kills as well dammit.
By oink spams it takes away my glory and the hard work I put in!!!

Well, vital info for other people  :lol

You're right, I don't think there's anything WE would need, on a regular basis anyway.  But I'm sure some of the base taking / mission-type squads could use it, though. 

As far as squelching...  I'm an optimist, but I'd kind of like to think most POTW are people I'd like to get to know in-game, and I can't do much of that by squelching the whole group! :)

Anyway, my point here is there seems to be some wiggle room for compromise...  If both sides are willing.

I personally feel this "oink" controversy has gotten a bit out of hand. 

To me it is just another pot for a certain squad to stir and sow seeds of dissention and cause a ruckus which they seem to get off on. 

Much adieu about nothing IMHO.

Should the Pigs tone it down when they have a lot of squaddies on? 

Probably as a courtesy to the other Knits they should.

Is it that big of a deal? 

Nope.

As Vudak has pointed out, for me, there isn't any real important information on any channel, but for others, that may well not be the case, and when I play this game, I try to keep other player's considerations in scope.

This may seem small potatoes Bat, but it is a part of the "larger picture/problem" ... and that is "consideration" for others ... and true to form, the slumfest that the LW arenas have become will no doubt continue to be slumfests because it's the ... "it's all about me or my small microcosm"  attitude ... and the heck with all the other participants.

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"

Why did this discussion need a new thread?

How hungry for attention is this group, exactly?
