A Lesson on Dar and Radar

[Delirium]

Trust me, the Devil's Brigade command staff does not want our guys monkeying around on channel 200 and if a squad member is being a love muffin on 200, we definitely want to know about it so we can put a stop to it.

So, 200 is out of the question but private messages are ok?

I'm glad someone else got the jist of my posts.   Thank you Del.

You can't be a hypocrite in the open, silly. I tell you, some people....

Masherbrum,

I get the jist of your posts.  You recognized the opportunity to not only criticize, but insult an entire squad (myself included) due to your apparent malice toward your "nemesis".  Any reasonable person that reads this chain will clearly see that your comments were not only unprovoked by those who you choose to openly denigrate here in the forums, but are at best thinly, or totally unrelated to the previous comments of any poster in the chain.

Furthermore, you intentionally misquoted a member of the forums to begin your malicious tirade. 

The question I ask you:  Wouldn't it be better to discuss your perceived differences with other members of our community via pm rather than in an open forum (or on ch200) so that you can better understand without slandering other community members?  Or was insulting your apparent nemesis more important to you than any collateral damage that you may cause to the rest of the community?

"Nemesis"?   You give yourself and DALLAS too much credit.    I slandered no one in my posts.   You seem to not understand that DALLAS's PM's to the Community are a DIRECT REFLECTION on the Sqaudron.   I have also never PM'd someone in a negative manner, since my account was opened in April of 2002.  

"unprovoked"?  Sorry, I was merely not beating around the bush.    As I have OFTEN seen your squad on 200, so I don't understand what this latest "Devil's Rejects aren't on 200".    If you cannot be honest with yourselves, don't try to be honest with others.

hey Karaya? since when was Dallas the whole Devil's Brigade?...

and also the only way it is a direct reflection on the squadron is if you make it that way

<S>


P.S.

Fixed.

When you make excuses for what they do, you're just as bad as they are.    ONE SQUADDIE PM'ing someone like DALLAS and Co., is a black eye for the Squad entire.   

pretty sure you slandered my squaddie with that one and slandered the entire Devil's Brigade at once.

One correction to your lesson:   
 
DARBAR  =  250 FT AGL    (not 500ft).   This is the current setting.

Thanks for the correction, I do recall the change to 250 ft AGL after the last reversion on the oversized radar range correction. I know it got confusing for a lot of people after those changes.

I have yet to see a red dot and no dar bar.

I have seen a dar bar and no red dot.

I have seen an enemy plane and no dar bar.

Apparently I'm not doing it right.

Next time I will take a screenshot of it and put it in here, I wish I had done that at the time but I had no way of knowing the squad would blow up like they did. I only hope this educates them somewhat, the game is more enjoyable when we understand the basic rules.

More excuses.

[GNucks]

More excuses.

An excuse is a reason or explanation put forward to defend or justify a fault or offense. Bar didn't try to justify anything, nobody has tried to justify PM harassment.

Here's an excuse: If you want to speak ill of another player it is best to do it in private channels without an audience, so you can let your rival know what you think of him without humiliating him in front of all of his peers. If someone wanted to flame me I would greatly prefer they PM'd me rather than ridicule me on 200 so everyone else can chime in. I get sick of guys bickering on 200 all the time and blowing up my text buffer, at least Dallas stays out of that mess.

[The Jekyll]

I don't suppose you guys would consider taking this to PM instead of hijacking this thread?

It happens,  just not all the time.   I have seen it both while in tower and a base flashes and the dots come on and go off (when they realize they're about 65 and get back down).   And I have seen it while in an NOE mission and someone gets above 65 feet  (you do pay attention to these things).

I bumped into a NOE Claim Jumpers raid to 199 yesterday, they were good enough not call cheat or spy via PM they knew I got lucky.

200 is for teenagers.  It's too big of a distraction too.
