Boy I'm getting tired....

[Rich46yo]

Of all these so called adults having obscenity laced temper tantrums in the game, and on the vox.

Funny but the kids, and the young guys, really aren't the problem. These characters are all 30yo or older.

Either their "6" wasn't watched by everyone else. Or they think someone stole their little cartoon kill. Or they think someone HO'd their little cartoon airplane. Or somebody made a mistake and ended up their little cartoon airplane was kill/shot.

Anyone who would use that kinda language, or spew those kinda insults, during a computer game, is a fool and a coward. If I used those kinda insults I'd have to be looking into somebody eyes, or lose all self respect. Course I dont. Someone talks to me in real life like that they are going to have to either eat their words or throw down.

I'm not talking ch 200 banter here. You all know what I'm talking about. Frankly I'm surprised AH puts up with it.

It is sad, isn't it?

you're right//////i've been guilty of it myself on occasion, in game.....but when i realize i'm doing it i log.

 now.,,,,,,you DO know about the .report feature, don't ya?

 i had a couple that kept harrassing me on 200, then on the regular "All" channel....and would even come to the knight side to grief me. i warned them one time. after that, anything they said or typed that even got near the ballpark of slightly almost annoying me, i reported and recorded.

 i don't know if they got muted or not, but they did stop the poop though.

 whining here is one thing......in game though........

 just a thought.

Most people say that until you meat a person in real life you don't know who they are, but no, until you mean a person online you don't know who they are. That is because online people show who they really are, they do things they would never do in real life.



Oh and one more thing, if it's your enemy getting pissed that only means that your doing your job

[Ciaphas]

 

Everyone has a temper and most know how to properly control it however there are many that have no idea about self control. The fact that there is very rarely a face to face in this game (excluding people who play in the same area and at LAN parties) there is no real consequence for those that show severe cases of verbal aggression and abuse. You can always report the people and they will possibly get muted or more strict punishments dependent on the severity of the situation but that is where it ends. This has always been a community that policed itself and for the most part it does a fairly good job of it; there are people that will always return to verbal abuse when things do not go as they wanted it to go no matter what punishments are imposed, no matter how many times they are called out for their actions short of perma banning accounts.

I ignore most people on VOX, though always staying mindful enough to listen through the banter to get the mission done while helping as many people as I can in as many situations as is possible.

its funny..i haven't played for a couple weeks. Ive been taking a break. During that time, I've been playing Team Fortress 2 instead. The kids that play that game are a lot more respectful than many adults in this game. Also, I rarely see whine fests or pissing matches. Even on vox, the language is pretty tame. It is a much more relaxed atmosphere. You never feel like you have to defend every little action you do in game. Its rather sad how worked up people get in AH. I know they are totally different games, but they are both still GAMES.

[Ciaphas]

I know what you are talking about, I am quite supprised that not only AH2 puts up with it but also that they don't have a wolf pack of enemy AND friendly units chasing them out of the area or better yet the arenas. I fly a bomber and I was quite supprised to find that the fighter jockeys are as un-chivalrous as they are. I mean I try not to cuss anyone out or insult them if they shoot me down, infact I often salute them; they are good pilots and deserve respect.

[Bark0]

and now it's time for


***USE ANOTHER WORD***

                                                                    Campaign!
 

When someone says Unkind things to you or someone else, or just uses a swear word, Say "Use another word!" to remind them that Kids play this game, you older players set an example for those kids, Make it a good one!

Im not going to name names, or post film, but the latest one was with a guy whom... I upped at a heavily fought for base, a WW out of the VH, as I came out of the VH I saw cons IB so I started shooting. What happened, by accident, is I guess I drove thru another WW by mistake and the guy kill-shot himself.

What followed was an obscenity laced, minutes long, bag of whiney filth that had others calling for him to shaddup without my help. Then he follows me around in another WW trying to get me to kill shoot myself. Had he just told me what happened I would have apologized. But the real bottom line is Who cares? Who cares if your little cartoon vehicle gets blown up? Certainly who cares enough to go on a fool rant like that? I dont think there was one cuss word missed by this fool.

Myself personaly Im a 50yo guy with all the responsability in the world and couldnt care less if my little airplane gets shot down. It doesnt matter! In my life its not even at the level of trivial.

Frankly AH has tolerated these characters for far to long. Maybe the community too.

dude!!!!

you shouldn't be mad!!!!! you p/o'd hiom bad enough to follow ya around? THAT is worth a whooole bunch of laughs. here he is, trying to get you to killshoot yerself, and the more you DON'T, the more pissed he's getting. i'd have just laughed at him. if i were in a bad mood, that certainly would've fixed it.

[slyguy]

May I?  This is an easy one.

This 30+ year-old group you speak of takes this very seriously because it's the only place in their life where they feel like they escape from their crappy lives.  Either work, the social life, or the marriage, or household is bringing them down to a point of self-medication.  Enter Aces High II.  They've had a crappy day all day then they get home, log on to Aces High where they immediately get shot down by some dude named "Beans" and they lose it!

The End

Personaly I think its only a small group of 30+ somethings and they are a little soft in the head. Or, just plain jerks.

Anyone who thinks any of this is that serious to act like that is a softball. I get no end to aggravation on my job. I have to deal with the dregs of the earth and still every citizen I meet is "sir" or "ma'm". How is that possible? How is it possible that all these other players treat each other respectfully?

Dont enable people by making exuses for them.

Im not "mad". More like "embarrased" to be sharing a game with such a screwball. I later saw his squad, "all of 4 players", trying to recruit. I bet thats a fun bunch.

[Ack-Ack]

I chewed out Biggamer yesterday in the MW arena for being so totally inconsiderate of rolling fighter down the runway and being in the exact spot of where my 75mm round landed that I fired from a B-25H from 2000 yards away.  I mean, how totally and completely lame you have to be to move your plane to the exact spot where my shell landed?  For jeebus sake, it's not like he could have missed seeing the 75mm round coming at him, he could have had time to move his plane out of the way but noooooooo.

In all seriousness, it was a very sweet direct hit from 2000 yards that we both got a good laugh out of.
