That wasn't the original question though, which was about turning them off for yourself. Very easy, don't land, problem solved.
I knew I was on to something there. (who's usually seen belly sliding side-ways off the end of the runway with parts becoming projectiles,.. while finishing a drink) Aluminum is very recyclable anyway. <shrug>
Here we are in our own corner writing a new sequel to the twilight zone and you walk in here, throw everything into perspective, and ruin it all.
But about all that, gameplay behavior/problems emerge when a high level of anonymity develops because the level of familiarity between players drop when the population density gets too large. So the answer is to make the game more anonymous by removing a game mechanic that introduces everyone to who is on, what they are flying, and how sucessful they are? I disagree.
Agree to disagree. But we are talking about those who it shouldn't effect (<nose in air> "I'm a ""VET""), but it does, then stripping the candy from their hands for evil entertainment to expose their true colors for all to see, and point and giggle at too. "I don't care about points..." roflmao (like foxy chicks giggling at a small,.. NM...) I notice a lot of peeps get complimentary tickets to ride the 262.
Personally, when I think I am landing 2 kills and will get my lights,.. then find out I only landed one kill (which means I actually stayed ON the runway) and no lights,....I usually stand up, grab my stick, flop it on the ground like a wet rag doll, and stomp it to death... properly. It usually solves a lot. Besides, Dose hasn't been around.
We can think of the messages this way; It' s like a bell ringing every time an angel gets it's wings. Of course it's more like a vampire (no pun intended) since it has to kill things to get it's wings, but that's besides the point. If there is a point.
Personally I think the CIA invented slight sims to attract hordes of people with obsessive compulsive personality disorders to one area. And then over-populate it to a point where if you weren't loony when you came here, you will be when you leave. That was the last signal received before I dented my tin foil hat.
Over,.. err umm,.. 10-4,.. roger.
