logically impossible. this is a real world problem so any attempt to model it will use observation/evidence. therefore there is no formal proof for it.

these are theories, lets hear yours.



Your asking the wrong guy.  Ask the person who made the matter of fact statements in the first place.  I'm still waiting for that matter of fact statement backed up proof, personally.  On the other hand, thank you for stating that is is indeed a problem.




<<<I'd rather not see 200 filled with a bunch of folks saying "hey how u doing man?", "good how bout u" "did u watch
the hockey game last night?" ect. There's enough spam on 200 already.>>>


THAT would be a far more refreshing thing to see on 200 than the high school and college kid incessant testosterone rants that exist on 200 now, now wouldn't it?

I really like to use 200 to chat with guys that I like who are on other countries.  It's great for discussing fights and planes and beer and all sorts of stuff.  What else should it be used for if not that?

IIRC the person you are refering to is named HiJack or LoTeck or something.  I think he has something to do with this game company.   :noid

How about a sworn affidavit?

I solemnly swear, that while I do change sides in order to find better fights (ie. more red guys than green),
I never give away info that may effect the side I have just left. CV positions will never be disclosed by this
individual as he prefers CVs to be active. I have never used cross country comms to give info on the country I'm flying for.
Signed newz this 4th day Jan 2011.

I too will sign the above affidavit.

another fav of mine is sitting in a SB waiting for the task group to enter the arc of the 8" gun, listening to the raging paranoia on range vox:

"why isnt the SB firing at the CV!"
"must be a spy!"
"they should put icons on SBs so we can tell who the spies are!"
"whos a spy?"
"the guy in the SB"
"really? HT should do something about this!"

etc. etc.

And what's so sad, is I've heard those exact same lines used!  From all three countries

A & B) Not exactly the rest of the people in the game's problem

B)  Use 200

A If there are 200 on one side and the other 2 sides have 10 each... it is everyone's problem.

B Those wanting to spy can use 200 to pass info with a few code words

This was from the MW arena sometime back.  I had switched sides because the Rookies were the low man on the totem pole and was flying with SKAlpo when this little gem on the radio happened.  What makes it even funnier is that during this conversation I just cleared a bandit off one of these guys' six and the other guy was off to my port side about 2,000 yards away.  At first I thought they were joking but it became quite clear they were rather serious.



This other one was also took place in the MW some time ago.  Shuffler and I had switched to the low numbers side (think Bish) and were about attempt to recapture a port and CV we had just lost.  This guy got it into his head that I had a shade account and was using it to spy on the Bish CV locations.  Again, at first I thought he was joking but as the conversation continued he was quite serious about me being a spy.

If it doesn't concern your side, technically it's spying.  But then this is just a game, so who cares?  People get way to bent out of shape over the stupidest things...

Sorry ImADot, even though that did happen, my asking if it was spying was just me attempting to be facetious.

And my reply was basically "who cares; it's a game".  I personally don't care one way or the other about "teh spiez", as I don't care one way or the other what side owns what block of pixels on the map.  As long as I can find someone somewhere who wants to fight, I'm happy.

But then this is just a game, so who cares?

Very easy to fall in that pothole of thinking when playing a game in a world of anonymity (as in no face-to-face).

I bet you would care in this situation ;)...



Try spying here and see what happens. The opposing player might have a very real reaction to the one peeking at the board. The conscious act of spying is the same, whether anonymous or not.
