Small Request
« on: February 21, 2012, 02:58:18 PM »
Guys,

The other night there was an event between me and another.  It basically came down to me not flying in a manner one gentlemen thought I should.  Trash talk is one thing but this got down right cruel.  Nasty.  Ugly.  I am way guilty of being silly and teasing folks but feel all you guys are ultimately my brothers.  If I met any of you on the street I'd be ecstatic to talk with you.  Especially you long timers.  

We are in finite company of guys\gals that are really taken with WWII flight combat and have been lucky enough to have found a game of this quality.

Guys.  Trash talk OK.  Lets not be nasty or cruel to each other though.


Respectfully,

Slade   :salute

It is the internet, and as such John Gabriel's Greater Internet F-wad Theory is in full effect.  It is the way of things.  .squelch, .report if it's against the rules.  I don't think twice about squelching when things hit me wrong and it improves my experience with the game substantially.

If you think you are having a 1v1 in the Main Arena, your SA has failed you.

I generally only <S> or congratulate on 200, any trash talk towards me gets ignored.  Turn focus to next flight and relax.

I think you guys are right.  No where is good sportmanship guaranteed.  We can hope though!  :)

I really would like to have a list of folks we could squelch.  I know AH don't like the idea but how about say for just 3-6 tops.  Once they start spewing nasty stuff the damage is done.

Does someone have to be online to squelch them?

Zack1234 sent me some insulting PM's today after two successful attacks, I won't go into the manner of both kills but to say I'm doubly poo because Zack himself is Poo at flying is absurd.

I ask that he apologises at once for his un-gentlemanly conduct or I demand to speak with his superiors at the GFC!

Channel 200 is the text in the buffer that everyone can read, regardless of which country they are in.

When a guy starts dropping F-bombs on vox/range or if they talk too much, right click on their name in the roster and select voice squeelch and
you don't have to hear them anymore. No one is offended and game play goes on.

If someone kills me in my tank or pt boat, I usually give 'em a <S> while I'm driving back out to the action. In the WWI arena you can give 'em a <S>
after you kill them or they get  you, but in the main, it is probably better to give them a <S> if they kill you. A little sportsmanship
goes a long way.

There is trash talk, and then there is the crap that is spewed in the main arena at times. Many a time I remember shooting pool and having some fun at my opponents expense, but most of us playing pool are friends as it is.

In this game many players are thought of as friends even if we never meet them in real life. The difference is in real life at the pool hall you have to have a bit of class and "honor" and respect because if you don't you find your self in the gutter all beat to h@ll. In the game your dealing with people and how "they" want to be perceived. All of these little "persona's". I wish the bouncers in the game (MODS) had a bit more power to handle things when people go over board.

200 can be fun and very funny. It's too bad it has to be spoiled by some who think a bit to highly of themselves.
