This was not a private ordeal. The two KOTHers (names I will leave disclosed) blatenly made it obvious that they did not like each other, and continued to pick arguments every time they fought. They both fought each other a lot during the event, and when a squadmate attempted to help the other squadmate out, it turned into a bash fest. It got to the point where both players had to be muted for a short while, and yet, they still continued to fight right after they were un-muted.

- 1st off! dredging stuff back up from something that happened between a handful of players a month ago looks worse for this event more so........than the complete entire situation and amount of time the situation being talked about here now currently, even took that day!
- it was kept to a minimal that day, and most all of it was done in a private/semi private manner by most if not all partys involved
- Bosco / Skifurd, you original reply that you posted ( see your reply quoted below ):
There is too many big egos to play anymore. Every time I play in there, someone starts an argument that lasts for the entire KOTH. It's getting ridiculous and IMO, talking in any general form (other than that of "No Joy's") should be banned for a couple of months. If someone attempts to talk, mute for the entirety of KOTH for that day/night
The players that actually enjoy KOTH will stay around and the others will leave, which will filter out most of the big time egos that KOTH is now.

is pushing it to the extreme, especially for this year and most of this years KOTH tournaments....... I know I have missed a bunch of them this year, but I have not seen hardly anything of what you are claiming in your quote...... now your own quote certianly does fit to a "T" of how it was a little while back ( past several years ) when you frequented the KOTH events before you left and went in the military, heck you was starting to actually turn into one of the big headed type egomaniacs in which you claim are there now in the event today...... but yet I am grateful for your commitment and service in the US Military, Bosco and it has helped you mature probably faster than any other course of action could have done for you, Sir! and if I understand your Sig on these boards right, you probably havea dream job that only the restof us can dream or imagine we could have such a duty......
We all just need to remember that all of those who compete in the KOTH events do so because we like the fights, we like the competition, we love to blow up cartoon planes and get in heated palm sweating dogfights from time to time, and we appreciate the efforts of the KOTH CMs who show up to host the events for us.......
no offense or ill will meant toward either of the 2 or 3 or 4 originally involved in the outcome of the August Friday Koth not having a winner, but from my own personal point of view of what I have read here...... someone took a ping on take off of the runway when fuzeman said roll planes or flights enabled...... the longtime standing unwritten rule has always been, if you get pinged on take off to "auger" or "Exit" and to reup with a fresh plane...... so noone is predamaged before fight on is called......... and this was done, as has always happened in the past
this took place, the plane /pilot did infact replane and took off....... I never heard anything mentioned about it, and I had no film because heck......... the KOTH CM does not call "Roll films" until right as he normally says "Start your films, call your no joys".............. I have never heard being told to roll film before we launch to the runway from the tower and film taking off etc...... guess luck would have it that the film was never turned off I guess, heh.....
I personally could see it if Bruv119 did not replane and then proceeded to be shotdown by Fester that that round should of been nullified/withdrawn, but from my view, since he replaned and took off in a fresh ride, I think their should have been no nullifying of the 2nd round..... Fester fought that round , sometimes 2 to 1 and he won it outright, and he had no special advantage at all...... I actually watched one of the ecounters on Fester that round from zoomed in view as I was heading to the furball going on during the round......
so as Fester has already posted in this thread, fun fights and others have posted as well........ fun fights
Zoney, I edited your quote below, but it is spoken truly, Sir!
I got no horse in this race but once again we can all see how a few can ruin something for many.
All of our actions, every action, either makes the game a bit better or a bit worse. There is no neutral position. As time passes, the weight of the actions therefore gains momentum, for the better, or for the worse, and it escalates.
Yeah, I love this game, and I hate to see it or those who play, abused.
so each of us should look at our ownselves in the mirror, are we helping or are each and everyone of us making things worse? it is up to each of us to figure out how we want this game, this community and our fellow players to act!!!! either for the better or not.....
lets let this particular past situation ly and sleep...... and fuzeman, betty, SheGotYa or Skuzzy.............. could one of ya'll please lock this thread when you get time........
