Green guy etiquette

Del gets "it". 

Sounds like Muppet material to me.

[Baumer]

Do you not have the right to track him down and try to return the favor?

Personally I find going back and out-flying that individual for a good kill, is much more gratifying than going back and giving him a HO shot.

Point taken. Best to keep a level head.

Do you wear a cape with your tights?

It definitely feels better to outfly them and kill them 'right' if the option presents itself.  Myself, I've been finding lately that quite a few people I run into are flying in a crowd, or just ahead of a crowd, and coming straight in for the HO.  In that case, I generally oblige them, reasoning that that's all they're worth, then I can get back to engaging the other bandits in the area.

Waystin-  That's... quite the outfit.

so basically, you're a HO'tard yourself.  at least you admit it, which is the first step to recovery.

[Wiley]

Not precisely, Ack.  If I'm merging and I see a little bit of deflection, I don't HO them.  If they're alone, I don't HO them.

However, if they're the lead plane in a crowd and all I can see from 3000 out to 2000 out is a + because they have absolutely no intention of doing anything other than face shooting me, then yes, I oblige them.

Apparently that makes me a HO'tard.  I guess I'll just have to live with that.  I will attempt to sleep through the tears.

If I can't kill the guy in due time, I don't deserve it, that's how I see it. 

Its easy to say that when the last time you missed a shot was in 1982.

I will not interfere with a 1vs1, if the guy asks for help, I will unless he is on my tard list then I just let him die, my tard list is WAY longer then the respected list, if I am in a 1vs1 you know damn well id rather die then get help, I dont think I have ever asked for help. in a "furball" there are no rules except kill as you can, if I am fighting multi cons well then I wont care if someone jumps in, I also wont care if they dont join, I DISAGREE with Del there are plenty of 1vs1's in the mains, and If im in a 1vs1 and see a green guy comming in I ask him to stay out before he gets a chance to interfer, if he ignores me, I break off from the con I was fighting to let him contend with the new threat, I dont care how any one flyes, just how I fly, I do wish more ingame, brought Honor to the game but it is what it is.

[oTRALFZo]

Ive always been fortunate that if I'm engaged 1vs1 and asked ppl to stay out..they always do. People have even returned the courtesy to make sure others don't interupt either.

Sometimes it sucks because you get a good dance going with that rare guy who doesn't ho and just wants to fight and next turn, you find 2 or 3 other friendlies pouncing on it (Mir, that was fun last night 38 vs 205 fight we had going on btw.)

Occasionally you get that LA or pony that every merge, starts spraying at 2k for your head and to that I say...Hes all yours if you can get him.

[Wiley]

I DISAGREE with Del there are plenty of 1vs1's in the mains

I personally feel the more accurate way to put that would be, 'There are varying levels of distance from the nearest help in the mains'

[waystin2]

1 vs. 1's are to be treasured in the MA's.  They simply do not occur that often.  When they do, enjoy the hell out of them!

[dedalos]

There has been some discussion of ‘hordes’ and ‘picking’ lately.  I am guilty of both in my sordid past, but last night, I tried to ask on local vox before I dove in.

One time, I was third in a green conga line behind a red guy, and announced I was holding fire.  My immediate thinking was that if the other two broke off, I would take the shot.  (No claims on right thinking.) 

Another time there were a few shooting a set of B-24s from the six o’clock, and, without any radio calls, I slashed through and bagged one. 

A third time, there was a siren P-38J, pulling green guys out to sea and killing them.  Finally, I participated in a three man gang to bring him down.

Another time, I asked a friendly who I knew could here me, but was unsure if he had a mic.  I dove in when it looked like he was getting shot.   

So, if one goes beyond the “anything goes” philosophy, what is a practical set of standards with regards to taking a shot, or jumping into a fight?

At what point in a furball does etiquette go out the window?

At what point against a killer ace is ganging acceptable?

Funny    Every one acts like they have no clue and playing dumb.  But everyone does know, right?  Because if you really don;t know, then I have no clue how you go about your every day life.

[Yeager]

Anyone worth the salt on their balls can defeat any HO.  If not then they deserve it right to the face.

   My first reaction, as well.
