  Bud, you taught me alot.

See Rule #14

[phatzo]

lol at the song Assi, It takes all kinds to make this game fun and pieper fits the bill as being somewhere in amongst all the kinds. Never like to see a player go, no matter who it is.

Everybody has the capacity to change. If a player stops doing whatever it is that has drawn the negative attention in the first place, then shouldn't the community also adapt and put this in the past?

See Rule #4

They should, but it won't be fast, and he wouldn't be able to "shout" on 200 or country without reminding people of who he was. You're reputation is a long time dying here where you're as good as what you did yesterday, so to speak.



Assi, I'd also say the "my chess piece is better than yours" is also getting bad. The "its not a dweeb move because I did it" bug has also been going around lately.

And then theres the ever favorite "Thats no fair, it doesn't let me win. No, it fair when I do it, because it lets me win" virus.

Why?  Its like saying, I can do what ever I want but once I pretend to stop I don;t want to hear about it

[nrshida]

Perhaps there are extenuating circumstances. Perhaps people go through rough patches, or drink too much when they play, or their wives left them, or they lose their jobs, or they had to learn about themselves along the way.

What did he do that was so bad?

I have not heard what the community did to him yet.  As far as the above, I totally agree with you.  But from what I remember his behavior (assuming it is the same pipper I had the pleasure to meet) went on for years.  If he drinks too much, that is not my problem and I should not have to put up with it especially on vox.  That been said, I don;t think I ever said anything other than  an LOL to him or a "here it comes" on 200 after shooting him down.

So, what did the community do that was so bad and how did the community find out who he was after he changed his name?  Either same behavior or he let every one know.  Those are my guesses.

[nrshida]

I don't know exactly, reading between the lines, mass reportings and loss of text privileges and consistent unpleasantness etc.

If he drinks too much, that is not my problem and I should not have to put up with it especially on vox.

You are right of course. Aces High can be a harsh environment though. You know I'm really starting to think that most people just come here to fight

I don't think the amount of those things has gone up at all.  Those behaviors have been present in force for the 4 and a half years I've been playing online flight sims, and the forums going way way back show nothing much has changed on those topics since the 90s.  Just MHO.

Well...  Yeah.  That's kinda the point of the game.   The unfortunate part is when it spills over into the communication channels where people figure it's a great time to argue in public about whatever RL BS they feel like.  .squelch is a beautiful thing.  You get to ignore the BS you want to ignore.  The only annoying thing about it is that sometimes enough people start yammering that it can take a while to get them all.  Still, a bit of typing, and the annoying people vanish.

I just don't understand the people who get so worked up about the loud and the stupid being loud and stupid on the channels when there's such an easy solution available.  .squelch, .report if you feel it's warranted, go back to shooting red guys and having fun.

  Obviously need to turn down the ironic humour today.
