Complain right after. Then seconds later accepter. I look to what I did wrong. I rarely complain on 200 keep it to myself.

Good post Bat :cheers:
Agree :aok
Was funny, yesterday saw a Rook low being chased by two ponies at about 6k. I came in from 8k in a spit. One turned back to me,tried to go vertical, and blew up. Second one continued to chase other Rook. I also sent him down. First guy said nothing. Second guy says, "Nice pick". lol I said. "Pick? yea right,lol ". Good example of your topic.

squad vox is for the rants, I normally dont say anything on 200 unless its just a comeback to the chest pumping of another easy kill on me. Squad vox is another story. The ones that complain about the picks/run/ blah blah blah, are really just compliments to pwning them. What I hate are the chest pumping PMs by someone that cant handle victory. If you/I get killed its your/my fault, no matter what is thought or said in the heat of the moment.  Suck it up and grab another plane. They are free.

Hmm we have a logic problem here.

Its part of the game and ok to fly anyway you want "fly your way" lets not act like we want anyone to "fly our way" or fly with a general standard.

Yet there is one way that is better than the rest to respond to it. Hey text the way I think is best.

I say the emperor is naked.

I say whether we can agree on it or not there is a "right" way to do both. Humans do have built in standards to what is right fair just and the like.

Your not going to <S> a tard for pickpocketing your wallet. Are you. After all he is living life the way he wants too.

You are asserting this idea when you claim there is a better way to respond to someones behavior in the game.

The rule set should apply to the guy that is "flying the way he wants to."

I dont get it. We can improve the game play by better responses on the text buffer, "but" it is acceptable to fly anyway you want.

It is possible to fly any half witted way a player wants to. Yes. Well almost that is why the have kill shooter on and the like. Because there is a standard the raises the level of play for most. Is it acceptable. NO> and I will choose to let the other person know it.

All this amounts to is <S> someone for possible bad behavior.

IF there is a right way or a standard to use the text buffer. Then the same applies to how we engage the other players in the arenas by how we fly.

The problem is there is no way to enforce it nor should there be by the players. Because there is no formal agreement on right play.

Yet the TEXT buffer is the only way to let someone know hey that is possible but its not acceptable.

I will text someone when "I" think it should be done. A to encourage what I think is a better way. It cant stop anyone from playing their  way it might encourage them the "raise the level of play for all" though.

2) Excuser.

I usually fly a Yak which is a higher ENY number than most of the aircraft in AH.  So when I get shot down its only because they were using an uber plane compared to me.

But I keep my excuses to myself, not in the habit of sending messages and I've never spent one second on channel 200.

That said, I'm definitely a #2.

I simply find it amazing how much more lame behavior surfaces through anonymity. I've got nothing to worry about if the best my opponent can do is insult me.

Sonic's post is a perfect example of "typical" AH arena mentality. Regardless of how fundamentally retarded he's going to appear, he spends x amount of time typing out a response that illustrates his cranial inadequacy for all who read it.

No one said you should not express your displeasure at a personally defined act of "lame behavior", however, the message Bagrat is passing on is that Aces High is just a game and no amount of time wasted typing ridiculous diatribes that flash across the text buffer does anything more than illustrate a persons under developed cranium for all to see. It is a game and not one person playing it can remember a time when personally defined "lame behavior" did not occur within the environment of the game. Nor can they remember a time when someone did not visually express their displeasure in the form of text buffer rants within the game. What is oft forgotten in the full cycle of a single day, is that not one single event in Aces High is going to make a difference to anyone in or out of the game whose IQ is higher than their shoe size.

It's great seeing posts already where guys are saying that they show respect only when they think it has been a fair fight.  WTG you guys, choose to be civil only when you choose to for whatever reason you can think of, bring everyone down to your level and I'm sure it will be so much more fun for everyone.

If someone has alt advantage, E advantage, plane advantage and #s advantage - killing you gets them a salute?  A salute should be earned for a good fight, not because they won the lottery of a "mine, mine mine" feeding frenzy or bore and zoomed you to death with a couple of 51s.  I don't send a salute for such things.  There are few "fair" fights in the MAs but some people will give you a chance for one.  Those pilots will get a salute every time. 

Had an awesome fight against RufLeak last night.  His P-39D swooped in on my P-39D ( I know what are the odds?  :O) and we had a great back and forth fight.  I was beaten but didn't hesitate to give a salute for such a fun fight.  Wish I had film of it.  :(

I don't tune 200 but if  by chance I've shot you down and you're "P'd" off just keep in mind it likely only happened  by mistake and no doubt had everything to do with my complete lack of skill! :banana: :banana: :banana:
