wat ever happended to pilots with honor

[Arlo]

In some cases it is honourable to lie.  Can you think of one?   Think of the little old lady running from a thug, quickly hiding in a building and said thug asks you "where did she go?".  You going to tell him the right building or you going to lie?

While I agree with you, in spirit, this has to be one of the worst 'practical examples' I've ever read. It comes off rather 'Monty Pythonish' from the image of a thug chasing down an old lady that manages to elude him and hide to the thug taking the time to ask me where the old lady is hiding. I'd like to think you can do better. I expect a decent edit when I return to the thread.

Said thug tripped and fell hurting his knee several yards back as the "young" lady ran around the corner where you where standing.  She could have gone in the doors of either buildings on each side of the alley.  She chose the 2nd building on the left side of said alley.   You gonna be honourable and tell the thug said lie now?  

Btw, he has a gun, you don't.

     I got the crap kicked out of me for telling one of a group that they should go home after they insulted my bartender one night.   He looked at me, and although I didnt know what he said it was one of those "looking for approval statements"  So I said go home.
     They followed me outside and proceeded to kick the crap out of me

     In AH I play the game however I like, when I like and using the tactics I like.

     When it comes to "honor" I generally disregard that ingame as much as possible.  Every tactic I use may cause someone to complain if I beat them, or cause them to brag if I do not.

     Ingame, I understand decent sportsmanship.  I've had a few requests to break off an attack from my opponent so he could land (essentially saying I won)  I have requested this for myself as well.

     "decency"  would be how I describe it, not honor.  I understand my opponents are gamer's similar to me.

TBH midway, the most honourable thing would be to say "get lost" or something quite dismissive of that person, showing your real intent and feeling of the situation instead of hiding behind some words so that you dont get hurt. Thats what being honourable would be, not to hide behind anything, but to bear the full brunt of the situation and repecussions of your actions.

But honour is just a word used to assert one set of order over another, like tons of other words in the dictionary, why does trying to be something matter more to you then just being? Its the people who try to be something who ruin the casual and the fun and turn it into some sort of evolutionary playground for ideology. Evolution is not a creative process, its a focal process and goes against the very essence of fun; which is essentially creative and thats what this game is all about, no?

Have you ever ganged another player when they were fighting another? 

ack-ack

I pass up jumping in on 1vs1 every time I fly....the only time, I will jump in is if asked, and even then sometimes I wont jump in, if there are a lot of red....or if a vulcher tries to vulch me while rolling....I definitely will attack him. 

many times I have let nme cons go home that have put up a fight and gives a good show of it.....

hell I even flew next to AFK plane's until they got back. (I don't always do that)

anybody who has flown against me regularly knows this...

..... Evolution is not a creative process....
 

I think our creator might have something to say about that

[Torquila]

Look at it this way, being creative/fun is a bunch of musicians jamming together to their own individual grooves with no intent or purpose then just to do it. Evolution is someone saying "Hey, this will make us alot of money because it emotionally manipulates people into feeling something", its just a matter of focus really.

only ever existed in the real world wars........

here in la la land, it is about respect for the game, respect for your fellow player and being a good sport........... noone dies here for real ( playing the game that is )......

you can take the high road and be a respectable fellow gameplayer........... or take the low road and be the biggest arse of a griefer......

the old guard(and some up and coming new ones) will tell you / show you where you exactly fit in, in to the skem of all things game related!

it is on each individual's own shoulders to show and be them true selves.......

hehe..... Torquila...........  nice callsign, dude!

cheers all

Does the BS you sling ever splatter back on you?  You've picked your share of bandits, you might try and justify it however you like but the fact is you've done it just like everyone else has.

bouncing  a big hoard of nme or even a furball, is not interrupting a 1vs1

have I ever ganged you? multi cons against just you?

 ...I remember not engaging you while other friendlies were attacking you, yet you attacking me with plenty of friends......I also remember you running away like a little girl as soon as you lost advantage...

I am sure through out the years I may have picked here or there, but it is far far from a "normal" sortie for me.

just like Vulching...I can count the times I have vulched on one hand.

and yes I absolutely stay out of 1vs1's on a regular basis.  

edit.....

trying to find that film of the couple fights we had, that one day, when it was just you and me... twice you died...the first fight you lasted a turn maybe 2, the second you lasted a little longer...... and the one time you killed me you had at least 2 friends with you.... I came back and wanted to kill  you again for that 3on1, yet you had two of my countrymen engaging you so I did not engage you......

of course you probably don't remember that, or remember it in your own delusional way.


but honestly why do I bother

like I said before, anytime

you love throwing out the ol DA.....DA.... anytime you wanna go a round or two, you just squeek up..... I need the target practice.

Haha, Thanks Teq (from one awsome callsign to another)

It's not just about you being unhurt, it's about helping to protect the young lady by misdirecting said thug.

Your hearing but not listening Midway, might I blame your age for that? Its quite a common problem for young people.
