You have to admit there are some guys in this game who have nothing better to do than wish they were more adequate.  I run into these guys from one squad in particular cough cough DAMAGE inc. Never did anything to these guys who are all vets in AH and somehow they still get BeLiaL envy and have to spout.

hmmm....
 :rofl    look who's taking stuff too seriously....

by the way, whats your ingame name.....want to see if I've run into you.....would make a difference how I replied to your hypocritical whine. :aok

Yarbles :D

Just to re iterate:

1) I never get Hoed
2) I hardly ever get rammed
3) If i get ganged I fell popular like a 16 year old girl drunk on cider.
4) People never run from me they only extend.
5) Ive never been picked.

I think in such a realistic random game the skill is to dictate the fight through fliying and situational awareness not by crying and moaning on 200.

For all those who cry and moan about how other people play the game on here and on 200. Your not playing the game properly, stop it now or risk losing my respect :mad: :D :D

<--- bad mood.

Blargh.... enough with the bloody "why I don't tune 200" threads.

We don't frigging care that you don't care that we think you're lame for HOing or running or picking.

If you're getting called out for these things often enough for it to be a problem for you on 200..... the chances are that you are frigging doing it!

If you're doing it, you're a pain in the butt... that's all there is to it. Ruining the fun of others for the sake of your gratification isn't cool.

If you don't want to listen to people calling it like it is... don't. Why is it necessary to tell us this?

Like I said, if you're getting called out enough on these things for 200 to be a problem for you... you probably do act like a horses rear-end and as such, no one will care that you aren't on 200.


When I play it seems that all the people that get called out on 200 are usually knob-ends. You're probably American, so this might not be as conclusive for you... but still.


This isn't personal, Yarbles, I don't know you. I can't remember fighting you... my response is more of a general reply to the bloody constant stream of bell-ends that come on this forum and whine about why they aren't on 200.


Bottom line is this:

If 200 is a problem for you.... it is very likely that you act like a penace. There are exceptions... and Yarbles may well be one (I have no idea either way).... but a bottom line is still a bottom line and is so for a reason.
:aok

Yup.

for a reason.

This we dont care is typical of someone who has to huddle together with a herd to feel good about himself.

While I am on the subject its not so much people accuseing me of picking or Hoing when they get killed so much as the general culture that exists among SOME of the players in here and 200.

Complaining about the other side Ho ing or picking or ganging is almost a greeting in the game with what I can only describe as the intellectually and emotionally less well endowed. The need for this cozy we are all in the play the right way gang and their in the play it wrong gang is so depressingly below standards for me.

People start with the ho pick stuff and suddenly everyone who is shot down on "our team"  was Hoed picked or ganged. I guess I like people to have a reasonable degree of objectivity and not mindlessly follow the hurd while accusing the Bish, Rook Night opposition.

Let me ask anyone here honestly how often have you ended up sympathising with someone in your squad / country who makes a complete bellybutton of himself , gets killed and then comes out with the Ho, gang pick stuff.

I know the answer to this. I need to accept how feeble minded some people are and how unable they are to see their bias and their instinctive need to huddle in a partial view of the rest to make them feel adequate. Its no good asking them to see what is always out of reach. Many people are self validating and dont need to blame someone everytime it diesnt go their way but can see it as an opportunity to learn. Others just feel their fragile self esteem diminished and have to hit out in its defence even if it means deluding themselves. Get enough of them together and we have a culture of blame and negativity.

I dont get Hoed, Picked, Ganged etc because I am responsible for what happens to me in the game ;)

yes, it is......except when you get some dork that has to ho ya, rather than use tactics to kill ya.  :aok

While I agree about 200 the HO whine is just plain BS its not too hard to avoid one IT TAKES 2 (TWO) to complete a Head on merge, so if you get HO'd you also HO'd.....and if it happens, what you have to re-up a cartoon airplane that people take way to serious.. I also leave 200 off that way I can see my landed kills longer and soak in my l3at pil3it skillz   :D    just my .02

ok.....first off.......my online time in the game is so frakkin limited, it's almost wasting my money....but i still like it when i can get in there.

 now.......when one comes at you with full intentions of ho'ing, and you try to avoid.....they still remove important parts from you. they DID ho you in that instance. you tried to get out of the way, unsuccessfully. then they claim it wasn't a ho, because you didn't have a guns solution.
 the REALLY annoying part of that is that most of those doing it DON'T NEED TO.

....  if you get HO'd you also HO'd.....

Not true..... only the one who shoots actually HO'd. Head on merge is head on merge not a HO.

... the REALLY annoying part of that is that most of those doing it DON'T NEED TO.

The one HOing does so because he lacks the ability or confidence to enter into a fight or as yarbles has shown, just does not care about anything else.

I would think that most folks play a game to be competitive and have fun. Some just do so to blow off steam. Like I said earlier.... pointing someone out on 200 just lets others know what to look for in that area. If someone does not like that type play they can go elsewhere so they wont waste their time. Others that like that type can go to that area.

Your two cents are wrong. It has always been:  two to merge, one to make it a HO. Attempt to rewrite definition:  DENIED

Wouldnt it be cool for the game to store your squelch list, and keep those persons squelched until you unsquelch them?

Is there a rule about having the word squelch to many times in one sentence? I need a beer.
