once again picked
« on: October 04, 2010, 03:05:22 PM »
Ive been coming into the AvA and having a blast.  I was in earlier today with klampit and we clearly indicated we were having a 1v1 fight.  Seahagg  (seadog36) decided he was going to interupt and pick me.  Players like this are why i ride the fence on quiting the game all together.  If you wanna pick go to the MA.  that type of play is the reason the guys in the AvA have left the MA.  If its a large group or no one has stated its a 1v1  then game on, beyond that respect the wishes of the players.

DON'T let one jerk in there take ya out of the game dude. it's too much fun in there.......and in real fights guys like that'll get owned so quickly, so much, that their egos won't let em come in much.............

Actually I fly in the AVA for the Axis vs Allied plane matchups more than to escape to some supposed utopia where everything is perfect. Last Thursday I was vultched more in one night than I have been all year in the MAs. There's no point in naming names because the guys callsign pretty much says he's proud of what he does. The no icons is lot of fun but it makes life easier for griefers. I could have complained on 200 but that would have just fed this guy's ego even more. Decent behavior and being friendly for the good of the arena is one thing. However the guys that specifically go out of their way to throw feces on the spirit of the arena and to be a pain in the donut should not be tolerated.

the guy you're referencing, is believed to be a shade, although i don't know who. nothing is perfect.

 the point is, that people in there do silly things, like letting you get some alt so ya can hava a fun fight(i chose not to, and merged them anyway).

 there are fun furballs in there. there's fun bomber vs fighter engagements.

 it's just not the same old crap as in the main arenas.

 where you think the lack of icons makes it easier for the griefers, i think it makes it harder. the same as you have trouble spotting them, they have trouble spotting you.

 as for tolerating those types.........i think there's some surprises comin round the mountain for em.

 i hope you're gonna be back for more fun in there........ :aok

 You don't need to get defensive and give me the party line on no icons. I happen to be a fan of the no icons and hope the AVA stays that way. However with no icons no radar on the deck and with the field ack knocked down it does make it easier for a guy who is rolling down the runway to get vultched by a guy lurking around the base looking to do just that. If it wasn't an advantage this clown wouldn't be doing it because that is all he has in his bag of tricks.

i hope you're gonna be back for more fun in there........ :aok

Been flying the AVA/CT since 2001. I just seem new because I don't participate in all this new era nut hugging you guys are doing now days. ;)

Yep came complete with two cans and a string. :aok

Actually since I moved to Sulphur Springs in 2004 I've had great broadband service with Sudden Link. Before that I lived in a small town 30 miles South of here and had dialup with a company that doubled as a bait shop. Is Schertz in or near the Hill Country?

Well at least publicly. I'm sure you hugged plenty a nut in your day.
