Most of what I see here is all about being paranoid or about avoiding a fight.  As several have eluded, it is pretty easy to spot anyone on the clipboard map, if you know what to look for.

The game is designed to encourage combat, not hide from it.

Damn... this statement is worthy of starting a 'Skuzzy Fan Club'.

I might even have to give you some slack about 'Uncle Cys Angel' for a few months.  :aok

Addendum to my earlier elaborate explanation about the Rook raid on A107:

Last night they repeated the attack. Same tactic (high bombers closing the field, NOE ponies and then goons), same routes. Goons were killed in the same areas as the day before, one of them sitting in the same "remote and unlikely" spot on the NE coast as another goon the day before.

So much for the need of shade accounts to figure out what's going on. ;)

Yes, but you're some kind of superman, Lusche.  Those other guys just HAVE to be cheating. ;)

This thread just goes to show how hard it is to police the internet.  Side switch duration may be a bit long right now @ 12 hours.  But if it were shortened to 1 or 2 hours we'd see a lot more Ar 234's lighting up carriers (not going to mention any names here)

No you wouldn't, jeebus...some of you are nothing but a bunch of paranoid and hysterical women.

I saw it constantly back when it was 2 hours.  I caught the same fella many times on film viewer (and a few times in a 4hog) flying out to the middle of the ocean in a 234, hitting my countries boats.  Then he'd rotate to the next country and I assume do the same thing.

It never seemed that he told others where the boats were, I'm not accusing anyone of that.

So you have a relatively small number of people doing it often, seems that easy to solve by sending the films you have/had to HTC and asking them to look into it.  If it's not acceptable to the powers that be they'll deal with it.

Once one stops playing for score or win teh warz and all this fuss will become meaningless.

I used to care, but now if some dude wants be to #1 for the 3 yrs and have 13 accounts....be my guest. It's not important to me. I hope they find the fame they're looking for  :rolleyes:

The scoring system corrupts the corruptable.  :old:
