S.H.E.E.P.
« on: March 08, 2009, 11:16:14 PM »
I've noticed there haven't been many posts about sheep anymore... anyway that's not what this is about, what I have noticed however is that there seems to be a lot more squeakers, griefers, and rule-breakers hanging around the TA. What I want to do about this is find more players that like to hang out in the TA and have them join my squad:

The TAng (Training Arena) Gang (TASP [TA {Training
Arena} S.H.E.E.P. {Stupid Horrible Extremely Ending
Pilots} Patrol])

The goal here is to have a small group of good friends
hang out in the TA to have fun and help other players
as they need it. The TASP department is designed to
seek out and pump lead into S.H.E.E.P.. The S.H.E.E.P.
designation is generaly given to players of the game
that have no interestin putting in the effort it takes
to actualy learn the game; they instead HO And Run
(HOAR [HO: Head On attack/shot {requires no skill to
initiate and leaves everything to chance}]), cherry
pick (shooting down a player that is already engaged
in combat with another player), and BnZ (Boom 'n' Zoom
[an attack initiated with much more E {energy
(airspeed/altitude)} than the attackee and the attacker
then extends {runs} well out of engagement range to
save his ass, leaving the attackee with no chance to
defend himself]). The S.H.E.E.P. catigory can also be
applied to "griefers" (players that insist on ruining
the fun of other players) and rule-breakers (rules can
be found by clicking the arena message on the clipboard).


Post your game ID here or contact TSO ingame if you are interested in this, thanks.

TSO,

This might sound crazy but a TA Squad? I see you in there alot so I know you understand the TA is really there to
allow both new and experienced folks to get their games up to speed.

While squads have been tried in the TA in the past they have a tendency to gang up on newby's because they find
that they've exhausted their duels with each other and begin looking for other outlets. A few TA squads started by flying against each other at some far off field but then gravitate back to A1 which is the primary training area.

Helping new folks is a good thing. However, if your plan is to chase down so called grievers and or rule breakers I hate to say it but that is not what the TA is all about. Instead use the squelch command if you don't want to listen to someone and report or contact a trainer if someone is ruining training for others. Even if there is not a trainer in the TA there is probably a trainer somewhere in the game that is willing to get involved.

Suggest that if you're not up to MA play you may want to put together a squad in the DA. It currently has a few squads
which get together for the comradere and the ability to actually shoot someone down without hoards or times required to fly and take fields. It's an all out continious air battle. Albiet no real scores are kept but they tend to treat it like a mini MA where they can get any plane they chose to fly without penalty. The DA actually tells you when you've truely knocked your opponent out of the sky, not just some hit sprites and pings you find in the TA. I'm sure you'll be much happier in the DA because of the instant results....alot of folks like the DA!

A TA vigilante squad eh?

Doesn't seem like a good idea to me.

Probably should have said "discourage" instead of "pump lead into." That's what this is about anyway, guys vulching and bombing a1, shooting players that don't want to be shot at. I'm trying to get a close group of guys together to turn the tables on the griefers, see how they like it. As for contacting a trainer, unfortunatly 80% of the time I cannot find one online. But if you really think that this idea is that bad, I suppose it'll stop here, Rafe and I aren't too bad by ourselves anyway.


(BTW, the DA sucks)

Ok, if you'd like an affirmative....the idea is bad. Please leave it to the trainers and use the report function if you cannot find anyone.

Pssst....i heard the DA is bad only for those who are afraid to go in there...but wadoino?  ;)

I'm confused.

You want to dispense "justice" in an arena where you can't be shot down no matter how many bullets someone puts into you yet won't up in an arena where you can be shot down but fly with a distinct numerical advantage.

Very strange thinking indeed.

1. Bullet hits often cause me frame stutters.

2. Holes in the plane graphicaly reflect in the cockpit glass cluttering my view.

3. Being bombed on the runway by lancasters will actualy crash my computer.


You want to fix this for me and buy me a better computer?
Do you know how sick I am of everybody assuming I can afford one?

I was in a TA squad.  It was called "Shoot At Me".  The idea being, you need a target?  Here I am. 

That seems to be a better idea for a TA squad.

Sorta, but no.    The picture also denotes a subtle quandary.
