The first step in this process begins with you,,,,,,

http://psychcentral.com/disorders/sx37t.htm

If you have these symptoms please seek medical attention..........   http://psychcentral.com/disorders/sx37.htm

"People with paranoid personality disorder are generally characterized by having a long-standing pattern of pervasive distrust and suspiciousness of others. A person with paranoid personality disorder will nearly always believe that other people's motives are suspect or even malevolent. Individuals with this disorder assume that other people will exploit, harm, or deceive them, even if no evidence exists to support this expectation. While it is fairly normal for everyone to have some degree of paranoia about certain situations in their lives (such as worry about an impending set of layoffs at work), people with paranoid personality disorder take this to an extreme -- it pervades virtually every professional and personal relationship they have.

This is one of the rare occasions I actually lol'ed for real reading something on these boards. Not for the content but rather whos posting it. Hearing your demented rants over the years on range or typing on 200 about subjects as diverse as children respecting their elders to side switching! lol Dads, I'm presuming you've used this website? I haven't heard you rant in ages... :devil



It is not an unreasonable request

There is probably some sort of game induced anger related symptom I have but it certainly isn't anything about being paranoid or shy.

In the past 3 years or so, I've probably though "spy" 3 or 4 times.  Based on what I was in or where I was...  But at the same time, I have "bumped" into random goons or NOE bombers just as many times.  It's just one of those things.  It probably exists but I don't think much.

How often does this happen?  It can't be that often.


You're serious aren't you?  Whoa...  :uhoh  All in all, I don't think alerting the player they have a wingman is a bad idea at all.  That way, now you know the callsign, you also know the enemy player, hit R, take a screeny of the wingman, send it all into HTC.  They can then see where the 2 callsigns are coming from and take appropriate action.  I will only speak for myself when I say, I do believe that if a person is using 2 accounts to hone in on one player specifically, should be looked at as cheating.

At the same time the easy, although annoying, fix for this is to simply switch fighting that country.  The other person will change countries to go fight you again.  Now you can switch back and have and hour & half of no "person" around.   :aok

I can absolutely understand the suggestions of paranoia. Only those that have experienced this first hand can tell you just how creepy some players can be, and the lengths they will go to. Relogging, switching to the third country, taking small breaks, flying different aircraft from your favourite one, having a friend fly your favourite one near you in your paint scheme while you fly his in his paint scheme, and even doing all of this for hours on end will not work to deter a dedicated griefer. He can find you immediately at any time in any furball, any group of winging aircraft, or in any place you go to alone on the map regardless of what aircraft you are flying.
See Rule #4
Now I only pay because of my friends.

I doubt you are paranoid, angry? yeah but thats just you Dads  :P your suspicions on switch switching to gain advantage were based on a suspicious pattern by certain players actions you spotted, you were right to get cheesed off about it. By the same reasoning its wrong to assume the OP or posters in this thread are somehow in need of mental therapy or make light of it when you have experienced people preforming questionable antics onlne yourself and it made you angry.

A very small minority in game will always seek to break/bend the rules by any means possible to their advantage, closing off as many potential 'open' avenues to do that is therefore important.

Its not paranoia at all its reconsigning when what should be a random one off event becomes a pattern as predictable as the sun rising.

You could not be more wrong if you tried . If anything nrshida thinks the best of people . A year or so ago I tried to tell him a guy he was helping was not living up to his agreement . The agreement was shida and slimmer would help him improve ,but he could not pick , ho ,etc . Well it took shida in god mode watching this guy do it to convince him . I was worried it would make shida more cynical and less likely to help . Thankfully not the case . I watched him the other day go around and around with a guy that has a language barrier in the middle of the DA lake . Trying to give him an earned shot ,all the while having me call off countrymen who were going to help shida . This while trying to translate from babble . Nothing describes shida better then "class act" . I often refer to him as the conscience of the DA . Paranoid ? Hardly !
