How fricken awesome when someone comments a fun fight with another one and in one page it turns into a retarded troll fest. Youre awesome.

[Midway]

Soooo.... I hear the maintenance window has closed and we can fly again.

Midway operates under the "Anger equals suckage" pinciple which states (correctly I might add) that if you can upset your opponent mentally in anyway you might "Get under his skin", if that happens you get "into his head" and once that occurs you will "own" him. Anger equals lowered performance the same way rising thermostats do. It is therefor advantageous to divorce oneself from ego, pride, emotions, expectations, etc.

Personal comments directed at him on 200 (and no he has never used any or cursed) confirms in him that this tactic is effective. My feeling is that if it didn't gain Midway (ManoWar also)some advantage to troll so they would quickly lose interest in at least the tactic, if not the server, forum, and community all together. Though I do believe Midway enjoys a good troll often, I do not think him to be nothing but one.

He appears to me to be motivated by the 'spirit of competition' like most of us. This is an argument about styles and expression between a powder keg (Debrody) and a carelessly lit match (Midway). Please keep all hands in the cab at all times and for your own safety and others we ask that you not feed the trolls.

Midway has come out of his skin in the last few months.  I have found him to be a bit louder than in the past.  Now, I have been playing very irregularly these days, so what may have been a gradual step up, for me has been a full on surprise. 

What I find most interesting is how Midway is slowly morphing (sloooooowwwwlllyyy) into a pilot who seeks the good fight, regardless of the conditions, and does not devolve into the HO, kill the other guy at all costs, kind of stick that dominates this game.  100% of the time, this time last year, I would get HOd by Midway, and he would be proud of the fact I was in the tower.  Shameless to say at the least, but if that is how some self actualize, eh who cares right?   Now though, he really is becoming a student of the game.  If only more guys would choose to walk that path.

On antagonizing guys, I don't like it.  I like DB, but I gave him an earful on country for getting on hymi.  No one should go out of their way to be critical of others not flying the way they think the game should be flown.  You may find pages of me on the BBs arguing the opposite of the point, but in a new ear squeezing ooosa moment, I have just accepted it as what it is.  Until the community at large starts policing itself on what most of us perceive to be rude or unfriendly, you will just have to accept it. 

This of course starts from the top down.  When the only rule is don't be a dick, well that is pretty broad.  All AH netiquette is unofficial.  Nothing is being done (as I know at least) to discourage some of the ungentlemanly practices.  Spawn point are still mapped and fixed allowing dudes to sit in Panthers and land 50 kills, which in general kills a GV fight and then brings in the dreaded "bomb XXXXs".  Field ack is still as weak as it was since the update (remember field ack 5 years ago!! ).  CVs can still park close enough to the coast that their ada augments the numbers of the attacking force.  CVs can still be pulled out of the game and hidden from others use (no reprisal for that).  The list goes on....

William Golding was on point when he wrote the Lord of the Flies.  When you take away rules and structure and you allow anonymity, the worst, not the best in people, flourishes.  It is not until authority returns that so does normalcy.

Authority with boundaries.  Authority with no boundaries (laws, rules, accountability) = tyranny.  That's the only issue in online gaming...to many inmates and not enough prison guards.  The rules are the rules but so much goes on in such small bursts of time that most are not caught unless its reported. 

No in game situation bothers me particularly except running from a fight.  The only reason to run is to reserve ego or score and neither matter unless HiTech begins to allow us to cash our scores in for fabulous prizes and Caribbean cruises.

You know the only thing that gets under my skin is being hod. Everything else is just what the game self promotes. Xxxxx landed 53 kills in a panther. 200 wtgs abound. Xxxx landed 17 victories in a tempest. More wtgs fill the buffer.

In the end I think it is all about you. If you are a skinny jean wearing Xbox type, well win at all cost.  Personally I drink scotch and chill-lax during ah, nothing is worth getting all bent out of shape it is after all just a cirtual airplane with a virtual pilot and a virtual score.

I agree and disagree with your interpretation of said book.

I disagree because it represents what happens when people who are brought up devoid of the ability to think for themselves, who rely on said structure and order to maintain control of their actions to cope with the realities and pressures of life when said order and structure is removed.

I agree because it is true that order does bring out the best in people; just not anyone else's order.

I might add, that I don't remember anything about "anonymity" in that book. It has been a long time, so correct me how im missing that bit, if so.
