A True Story That Is Relevant To Our MA Today: Honor

[VuduVee]

i usually always let rtb planes go. ill keep doin that, but, its bit me a few times. bc, people who would be sorry in real life when noones looking, will be even more sorry in game. these same people in game are the ones who want everything easy and dont care how they get it. they may be at15k and see an rtb smoker on the deck and dump all that alt for an assist. theyll spend their time chasing rtb bombers 2 sectors for the kill, even tho the fight is back at the base that was just bombed. theyll be the 5th one in ho shooting a single red on the deck. meanwhile, the goon gets their town. but they were so desperate for any kill, that it didnt matter. most of the gangbangers are folks who are supposed to be good, but really they get their kills in mid horde where its safe, you can lump most of the 200 fatmouths into that category. its hard to find honor ingame. to me if youre sorry ingame, its just practice for using that same mindset in real life. i dont see how its possible to flip an honor switch between real life and a game. you are what you are. i do have to say tho, i have seen some really cool things in game, just cant think of any.

I saw a silly quote the other day that rang quite true with me.  "Do no harm.  Unless you mean to do harm.  Then do a LOT of harm."  Violence should not be used in half measures.  Just MHO.

Wiley.

That does not seem silly at all to me.  That makes total sense.  I shall adopt that for future use.

By the way, Wiley once told me I was letting that last one go just to be mean because that means they have to fly all the way home to start a new mission.  Loved it.  I have had a few guys respond and tell me they did not want to be "let go" and that I should come back and finish it.  I accommodated them.

Thanks for the OP to turning me onto this.  This is what I received in the mail today.



What an inspiring event.

Exactly.  I find it kind of humorous that some people actually expect to be left alone after you've damaged their plane.  The other day in the MW arena, I shot off another P-38J's elevator and damaged one engine.  When the P-38J driver broke to RTB his damaged plane, it gave me the perfect angle to finish him off.  He then spent about 10 minutes calling me an stunninghunk and how I had no honor because I wouldn't let him RTB his damaged plane.
