What to do, wife wants to play...

[Grape]

Yesterday my wife asked if she could fly with me. Is it a good idea to let the wife get involved?  I am kinda flattered and puzzled that she wants to fly with me. Normally she is firing highly accurate 88MM rounds at me while I play. Does anyone have any experience with the wife ack suddenly turning friendly? Can this situation turn out to be a disaster? I am also wondering what a good handle would be for her if everything works out. I was thinking that "Orange" would go nice with "Grape." Its easy to read so people won't have a hard time giving check 6's. Is there anything that I should avoid doing, like tuning to squad channel while she is on?

See, now if you were like me, that would end really badly - as I'd assiduously hunt her down and keep killing her, especially after an argument (i'm childish like that  )

On the upside, you can always then invite her to play whenever you want to get on.


I'm definitely not the right person to answer 


Hope it goes well fella,

  "Nuts" Would go great with Grape.(or GrapeNut)   If I could get my wife to play it would greatly increase my available time on the game without Flak. She watched me the other day and said it made her dizzy the way you have to look around.   You could send her for supplies or as Bait but you may have to tune her out after awhile.

  Good Luck!

Sounds like she wants to spend more time with you. So either let her play or spend less time on AH.

In a nut shell.

+1.  I'd say let let her play.

Well...speaking from a woman's point of view...I LOVE FLYING!!
I watched my boyfriend play for about a year and finally got set up to play with him. 
We have a lot of fun, and he makes a great wingman also
I say go for it as long as you have a lot of patience to teach her how to play.
Now that I look back on it, Ziff was a really good teacher!
I remember asking him how to do something when he was in the middle of a dogfight   
I'm sure I was the cause of his demise more than once

First I think a good name for her would be Berry, and second if she wants to fly in game let her do it at all costs, she will get the fever lets you stay on much longer than you can now.

The most important question is...

Do you have two computers?  If yes, then by all means, let her fly!  If no, you risk losing access to your gaming rig! 

[waystin2]

I would say yes to this!  My wife is only interested in Aces High because she knows that I like it.  Try it and see what happens Grape.

Think about it.
Pros
1) You get to give her yer old gear and you get new stuff. Think CH 
2) You get to give her yer old computer and you get a new one. 
3) You'll always know where she is and not off bar hopping. 
4) You'll both go to bed at the same time. Marital bliss. 

Cons
1) Who will get you your dinner?   
2) What about keeping the house clean? 
3) Shopping? Will she make you do it while she plays? 
4) If she comes aboard you need to have a trainer train her. It's like teaching yer kid how to drive. Not good for marital bliss. 
5) Who will get her dinner? 
6) Who will work for a living so the other can play? 

Personally I think the Pros far outweigh the Cons.

You're wife is open-minded and loves you.

[daddog]

Raptor is right.

I would let my wife play in a heart beat! Count your blessings. She wants to be involved and do what you do. Anaxogoras may have been facetious, but what he says could have some truth to it.

As it is my wife is about as supportive as a wife can be without flying. No complaints here.

[mtnman]

I can't believe you guys missed the obvious name for her!

Raisin.  

Sweeter than a grape, but shriveled and wrinkly.

Push the "sweeter" idea.  

Don't push the shriveled and wrinkly idea.

[lyric1]

Let her play if you don't it will only end badly.
