On Chute-Shooting...
« on: April 08, 2001, 05:34:00 PM »
Why is everyone going on about how chute-shooting is dweebish and immoral? Come on, tell me...it's killin me. Are you mad because you didn't get to ride down from 6,000 feet in your pretty white silk sheet? Are you pissed cause you wanted to shoot him but couldn't? Are you whining because you want an excuse besides him shooting you down?

Come on guys. it ain't yer relatives or your cat getting shot in real life. If someone shoots your chute, don't come here and whine about it, get another plane and start fightin again...

It is a simple question of everyone's morals, and no argument can change this. I, IMHO, find it very childish because I think the people do this to show their pretendous and to exagerate once again a victory (though some do this against other's victim, that I really can't understand), and that's why I can't stand it, but others won't think that way. But it is pointless to discuss it again and again.

Personally, I couldn't care less if you shoot my chute.  Fire away, I dont care.

Luckily, I have more of a life that to consider this important.

I never shoot chutes, except when they can see what I am doing at their fields, spot incoming goons and all that. I just don't consider it worth the bother. When my chutes get shot, I sometimes voice an opinion, but that's mostly when I'm miffed at being killed :-)

Honestly I haven't had my chute shot but once or maybe twice since beta. Heck, I don't bail that often and when I do I ALWAYS pop the chute seconds before the deck. You will rarely be shot if you master the fine art of bailing   Lord knows I have a lot of practice! When I here ANYONE complain about getting shot in there chute the first thing that comes to mind is "It was there fault for being in that spot in the first place!" If you die in your chute generaly you probably not only made one mistake but now you made two! Live with it ...don't whine... get up in you AC and "Do unto others as they have done unto you!"

Finally someone's hit the nail on the head.  We are fighting in a virtual world.  No-one is orphaned when a virtual chute is shot.  WHO CARES if the other guy wastes ammo shooting your chute?

If you are that worried about it then do what I do: Ride your plane to the ground.

You will:
A) be back in the tower ready to fly again faster; and
B) not get shot in your chute

Boy adding a score aspect to this game sure has made it a much more friendly place hasn't it. Looks like the quake set is really getting started now!!

Mav

I still say scores and perk points are a solution in search of a problem.
DEFINITION OF A VETERAN
A Veteran - whether active duty, retired, national guard or reserve - is someone who, at one point in their life, wrote a check made payable to "The United States of America", for an amount of "up to and including my life."

Its about alot more than morals, scores and UBB's. To me it shows alot about the person. Their morals, their intent, how they look at other humans. Some of you say "its just a game, get over it". Some don't say alot, they just laugh, goad you then post a screen shot of you at your finest. In the flight sim I came from, it wasn't cool, it wasn't funny. It was a slap in the face. To me it still is. I trully wonder why there even modeled at all. All they're used for is to stir up crap and give hugahunks another tool to make people mad, goad them into saying something that they may(or may not) regret later. If someone in real life spiked me sliding into second base, I'd wip his ass. If someone in real life cuts in line ahead of me, I tell them to move to the rear. If they refuse, I'd prolly whip his ass. If im waiting infront of a parking place and some jerk slips in ahead of me, refuse to pull out, guess what. To me, people like that think there better than I am. They think they can get away with stuff like that with no concequences. "Hey, it aint Illegal!" No, its not illegal, its immoral. Like Mike Tyson bitting Holeyfeilds ear off. So, for all you chute shooters out there, in advance, I'd like to say "FOYSSOBAMF".

And don't call me Francis!

I'm sorry, but a game is a game. Your actions wether behind a monitor or not affect other people. What I believe I was trying to convey was that some people think they can get away with insulting obnoxious behaviour JUST because they're behind a monitor. In reality, games or parking lots that just wouldn't cut it. Why does it here?
And as for Creamo, I knew you'd take the bait.
 "Thank God your full off toejam or you would probably get shot or thrown in jail.

Where do you find these fools Hblair?"

Your A moronic neanderthal turd who loves nothing more than to stir the pot. I won't be suprised if your not the next one to hit the road. BTW, why bring hblair into this? He's not the CO of a squad calling them selves "The FAT DRUNK BASTARDS" is he? You low lifes really believe in truth in advertising don't you.

I told ya NEVER call me Francis!
