Lock all film files until after the AH client creating them exits.

but the real question how many people would bother to do that?

more than those that switch sides for easy perk points

all you have to do is look at the numbers and see the fluctuation and see that more often than not the winning side had an influx of players that just logged while the other two sides I guess they decided to give up and log for the day.

the real question is why would someone be hiding to begin with, and the 2nd real question is who would care enough to find him?

Given the whopping two to five minutes needed, quite a few if it allowed one to not waste time looking for that ditched P-38 that is causing the base to flashing.

If there 10K within the tower you don't even need to up a plane to find them.

Just roll tape.

my question was more towards how often does it happen.  the only time i have done it was when a base was flashing for over 30 minutes.  i lfew around and found some guy who probably fell asleep and crash to make it flash.  now the second time i checked was to figure out how the in the heck the vtards captured a base when i was 5k and saw no goons.  in looking at the film, i had been looking around for a goon for well over 30 minutes when it turns out they had brought 2 lvts and drove them for over 40 minutes and captured the base.

ever since then when i see a base flash  I'll look around but sure as hell not gonna log off and look at the film.  some may, me I would rather spend my time hoing and vulching .

no it's the fact that tdeacon gets too defensive sometimes.  like challenge mentioned before you allegations of cheating arent allowed or even discussions on how to cheat.  then tdeacon became defensive saying he never used.  he seems to have misunderstood the term that you cannot bring up allegations or discussion on how to cheat in the game that in itself can get you banned or suspended.

it turns out the allegation he made was fixed many years ago.  but he still gets defensive instead of just acknowledging that he made a mistake which he did but he cant let it die. as he mentioned it here.

see he misunderstands that he cannot discuss or make allegations of cheating on the bulletin boards at all.  any problems just send the film or give htc a call.

Semp,

The point you are missing here is that I was not complaining about cheating in this thread.  I had no reason to believe that anyone was doing this, and I was not posting in response to a trivial online “death”.  All I was doing is posting a suggestion for game improvement in “Wishlist”.  When you and others assume that I was complaining/whining about cheating, and then reprove me for making cheating complaints in the forums (which you correctly point out is not allowed), I object.  

On the single occasion when I reported strange gameplay to HTC, I did so via a private email to HTC, which was dealt with offline.  This was several years ago.  So I know the drill.  

True that my response is defensive, but I don’t like be reprimanded in public for things I didn’t do.  If I say nothing, then the misstatements become accepted as fact and my Forum reputation (such as it is) is damaged.  

This should be comprehensible to you, if you step back and look at the OP.

(EDIT:  To illustrate my first sentence, go back over the thread and read just my posts.  Should be easy to do because of my pink-colored avatar.)

In order to make it harder for people with single accounts to use the film viewer as a reconnaissance mechanism, I would like to see the AH client maintain control of all film files created during that session, until the client exits.  After exiting, a player could still open them on the same or on another machine, but at least there would be a significant delay before they could use the information in the films (login, re-transit to the battle, etc.). 

This is a quick-and-dirty idea, so I may have overlooked something here, but in principle the idea would seem to have merit.

here in this sentence you implied that people used it.  you dont actually say it but you clearly implied it.   when it was brought up to your attention that allegations arent allowed then you got defensive.  not only that even after you found out that it couldnt be done.  you kept being defensive about why you posted your ideas.  you should've just let it die.

not only that but you kept insulting others with your "reading comprehension" insults when the obvious that you had been wrong was brought up to your attention.

but you like to get defensive and keep arguing a point that everybody else can see is not the correct one  except you.  and here we are on page two, where you still arguing and basically ruining your own "forum reputation"  without the help of anybody.

sometimes the bast answer is not to answer.

here in this sentence you implied that people used it.  you dont actually say it but you clearly implied it.  

I implied that someone *could* use it; not that they were.  This thread started out as equivalent to Fester's thread "Sound bug on GV Engines" posted in the Bug Reports Forum.  Both were/are intended to improve the game, and not to make accusations.  

As far as the rest of this back-and-forth goes, I started out with a friendly, reasonable thread, and Forum trolls like yourself insisted on turning it negative and personal.  I ignored it initially (see my first 3 posts) but eventually responded, as ignoring doesn't seem to work with you guys.  Next time you post to someone else's thread, I suggest you think before you do this, but doubt that you will.  

(NOTE to Skuzzy; it you want to delete or lock this thread, I certainly would have no objections).

see there you go again. instead of just letting it die you keep defending your post which was wrong to beging with.

I got a question for you how can you "improve the game" by proposing to include things that are already in the game.

and for your information this is not your thread.  and when you post a thread in here be ready for people to quickly point out if you are wrong or not.  and stop with the name calling it only makes you look silly.
