LEAVING

[AAJagerX]

In fact, I'm gonna send Nate a squad invite.  I'll prove you wrong with actions rather than words.

You laughed at a kid that was frustrated with the way he's been treated.  You sir, have the problem.

If you want to take issue with that, find a way to make $15 and get in the game.

Once again slow one of the world. How does a   berate him?
Man lay off the sauce kid. you have 3 brain cells and 2 just died while you were trying to figure all this out. The last one is running on half power.

Yo BP, can it before you pop another oil well, eh?

Don't get me wrong Nate, you are fine stick and eager to learn... but really your biggest problem is that you don't know when it is appropriate to talk and when it isn't.

You flew with my squad for awhile, but we ended up asking you to go elsewhere because we all had to squelch you all of the time.  And for some reason, it was as if you would re log every ten minutes so we'd all have to squelch you yet again.  If we all have you on ignore, what's the point of having you in our squad?  Something tells me we weren't the only group of guys to go through that with you.

But still, don't let all of us run you away from the game.  You're a fine stick.. one of the best for your age group I've ever seen... and possibly even better than me!  But really you need to heed some advice.  If everyone is telling you to shut the <censored> up, then maybe you have to consider the possibility that you are in fact the problem.

As much as I hate to say it (because you are talented and want to learn so much) your name, 800nate, will NEVER be taken seriously in the Aces High community.  I honestly don't want to see you quit the game.  The best advice I can give is to change your in-game handle (you can do it through the in-game menus.. in the oclub I think) and then heed our advice... and keep your mouth shut.

Talking about the mission at hand is one thing.  Giving play-by-play reports is another.  Throw in the 'squeaker' aspect and it really does get to be grating, but it's to be expected.  Our biggest problem with you is that you have a habit of telling us what to do.  You're at that "I know everything" age and you have to take my word for it.. you don't.  And even if you ARE right, the LAST thing you want to do is criticize people that are three or four times your age that have been there, done that, and usually know better.  There are ways to get your point across without disrespecting the adults around you.

I know the last thing I like is to have a teenager tell me what I am doing is wrong (or even try to offer a better way)... whether this is true or not.  Until you are old enough to understand what the words "tact" and "respect" mean, the BEST thing you can do is to keep your opinions to yourself, keep your mouth shut, and just go with the flow and have fun with it.  After a while you will start to earn the respect of the community, and THEN you'll earn the right to start expressing your opinions.

De Ja Vue.... AGAIN. 

Um....

For the rest of my days, Um will be your word Brotha Grizz!

Yo BP, can it before you pop another oil well, eh?

i popped an oil leak this morning when i woke up with a hangover from drinking jack and coke all night. Yeah, that oil leak

[Smkn]

wow, I've stared at this empty post page for nearly 10 minutes trying to come up with the words to say, but I couldn't think of anything good to open with...

I'm conflicted with this post.

As soon as I read it. I thought, OH THANK GOD.  
No more typing squelch every day. No more incessent chatter on vox and local as Nate gives play-by-play accounts on how his ack-attack run went. No more having him switch from bish to rook to bish to rook. No more of him joining missions only to launch early and do his own thing. (like today when he got nearly 15 people yelling at him NOT to touch town and STAY NOE.) No more hearing him screech out about some contact (double ALWAYS double) 4 5 or 6 times until somone replied. So many people telling him to SHUT UP and type it out what he "needed" to say in text, (like today when he was argueing over the mission lead on vox, the leader couldn't get a word in edgewise).

The other side is we REALLY did lose a good stick.  
Nate was young, enjoyed flying, and was good at it. If this was a off-line solo game, he totally would of had it beat on pro mode 2 days after his parents bought it.

To the people who TRIED and TRIED to teach Nate the ways of the game (social wise). My hat goes off to you, you certainly had more will then I. If this was day 4, I would say stick with it Nate, try to type more, try to pick up how others communicate, BUT ITS NOT day 4. It's (minimum) Month 4. After THAT much flight time, with so many people giving the same advice.... well, you can lead a horse to water....

Good luck Nate in whatever game you play next...
but seriously, you just have the STFU sometimes.

Nate I'll fly with you again. Some people really need to grow up! I ain't talking to Nate either.

Yeah, it's terrible how some are accepted/chastised/accepted/chastised by people who have no business telling them what to do or how to spend their recreational time.

guys guys, why are we all fighting about this, it is quite clear that the reason he is "leaving"
































































is because his two weeks is up 

[jimson]

I don't know Nate and never heard him on VOX. Iv'e heard many other young guys though.

The older guys are always going to have a prejudice of those with young squeaky sounding voices.

I'm sure there are other factors involved here, but you just won't be taken seriously from the start when you sound 12 or 13 years old. It may be unfair but it's just the way it is.

Nate if I were you, I'd change my handle and use this http://www.screamingbee.com/product/MorphVOXJunior.aspx

Change the pitch and timber of your voice.

Be judged by your actions and the way you carry yourself and not by the way you sound.

I know it's silly, but if I were a squeaker, I'd try it.

[Imowface]

unfortunatly jim, its not his voice that is the problem, it is his play by plays, orders, and other things that are, I honestly dont care if someone squeeks,
I would have the same answer to a 30 y/o that acted like him

Fact is, he's not 30.  He hasn't been accepted by this community.  We're all at fault when it comes to that.  I've ignored him at times, but even when I was on range it didn't ruin my day...  This game is in constant evolution.  If we can't take the younger players under our wings then it will fade away when all of us "old" sticks go away.  

If most of us (certain people excluded) were in a situation that required us to deal with a younger person, we would NOT treat them the way they're treated here.  

It's disgraceful to see adults attack a kid in this way.

I understand but the "squeaker" aspect gets the young guys off to a rocky start every time.

I know this from 1st hand experience with young guys in squads Iv'e been in.

People are just less tolerant and more likely to say things to them they wouldn't to an adult.

Even the most mature kid who acts just like an 40 yr old is never gonna get the same respect from guys whose WWII fantasy starts sounding like a game of kickball in the school yard.

It sucks but it is.

HTC ought to do themselves a favor and include some software option in the VOX system to help keep some of these future subscribers from being driven away.

Again, a derogatory comment from someone who doesn't even play...
