I dont like banning ppl
My dad runs a butcher shop. People have tried to cheat him before, or given him toejam and say a piece of meat was tough when it was just that they were a lousy cook. and he has told them not to come back if they act liek amazinhunks. To me, thats fine since them being gone doesn't hurt the rest of his customers.
I will miss both nath bdp and towd. They are both good pilots, and I enjoy fighting good pilots. I think the mute function that hitech hs in the game where he can prevent nath from talking is great, he should have done that.
Taking nath out of the game prevents me from having fun fighting him. I dont like killing newbies. Id rather get killed in an intense fight with an expert than kill 10 lesser pilots. Guess which i learn more about flying from.
Aces high, to me, is about flying. Its not about a feel good lovefest where we all hug each other and smile and sing. When a pilot acts like a handsomehunk on open channel, I just mark him as my next victim, and get double the pleasure out of killing him.
Was nath out of line? Sure he was. Towd, too, kinda harped on the cheating thing on what i think was an unfounded basis. But you know what? Towd would always call my 6, and never hesistated to risk his own virtual neck to save mine. That is more than I can say for some "nice" people in the game (not that there aren't MANY nice ppl who will save my neck too! thx rooks!)
I dont know if any of you ever flew with nath cooperatively, but he was the same way.. never said stupid toejam on roger wilco or anything. Called 6s, flew well. Saved my bellybutton when i got in trouble. Thats what *I* look for in a pilot, and when he talked like an idiot, I just squelched him.
It is of course hitechs game and his right to do what he wants, but I dont applaud it like many of you.
