Poor FrauB, 1 kill and 153 deaths :(

Have you ever created a seperate account for the express purpose of shooting it down?

It would not surprise me one bit, that such a thought has crossed every single individual player, who has ever played this game and who has ever made a post on these boards........ regardless if they ever followed through with it or not!

but it is this community's duty to nip this crap in the bud, when any of us see other individuals doing such things, and it is this community's duty to report such actions to HTC......

That is why the "AH Community" exists........ to help each of us have good game playing etiquette

Then the two of you are part of what's wrong with the world today.

Just saying.

How so?  They choose not to get their panties in a wad over a game? Im sure on Pewters list of priorities, this doesnt rank that high......heck it isnt even a blip on my map.

Pewter bro,

I too like the Devils advocate position every once in a while,  but score/perk fixing in this silly game of ours is lameness of the highest order.   Moral relativism need not apply here.   Shade Vulching should elicit a laughing,  finger pointing response.   After all,  what other policing power does the community have against this sort of bad behavior?

You do agree it's bad don't you?

Sure it is lame, but does it really effect anyone at all? Seriously, how did archieD effect you Triton? or Caldera? or anyone? So he spends $15 (or $30) to shoot himself or a friend down, so what. Chances are when he goes to an actual fight he is quickly disposed of. I find the fact that people are taking time to look up other peoples scores and stats way more lame than shade vulching. So ArchieD may show a high score at the end of the tour, does that really mean anything to anyone? You guys don't really sit back at the end of the month and high five your mirror if you made it in the top 10 do you? Maybe I am missing something.

Not one time ever...this thought has never crossed my mind.  There are very few things in this world I could think less about...cheating. 

Cheating allows one certainty...."you'll never, ever, ever really know how good you are".  Good, ok or just plain bad, at least in knowing, you can relax and have fun...and that is for this game, golf, baseball, football, whatever.

But cheating is for complete candyazzes that can't handle the truth about their suckage or their greatness...either way, they'll never be a leader cuz leaders smack you around with the "rule book" after they smack you around in the game.

maybe somebody should check ALL the stats. it seems DMBUSEY killed rockafir 24 times in a row(1 sortie) while flying an a6m the other day.    i wonder if anybody noticed. check stats

[TequilaChaser]

I posted that while I could barely keep from falling asleep

Notice: I posted that "it would not surprise me" .... if such a thout or that such a thought has probably crossed most everyones minds before... I was not saying everyone has done such a stupified thing like this.... Just saying most have pondered about the subject in some type of thought...

Now, since only the minority of us read the boards, I will admit I should have kept it to those who login to the game only.... Perhaps ya'll read into my post too much... Much more than what was actually there 

Cheers

So where do you draw that line of class and honor? For me class and honor is something I try to use in everything I do everyday. I don't pick and choose which things deserve it or not, but thats the way I am. I try to treat everyone with class and honor until they prove they no longer deserve it, yes even in a game. When dealing with other people I don't have certain standards for those I meet face to face, or on line.

In this game you are "dealing" with other people even though they may be a world away, they are still "people" behind those computer screens. Whats wrong with expecting a bit of class and honor from them?

[Zoney]

Silver.  I think it is simple.  Whether you want to or not everything everyone does here affects the game play.  You can choose to make it better or worse by your actions.  Vulching a shade contributes negatively at best.  This community polices itself.  I'm glad when someone breaking the rules is caught and called out publically.  Sometimes the community gets it wrong and apologies ensue.

I happen to like playing this game very much.  I want to spend my time playing and recommending this place to others who may also enjoy it.  I want to be proud of the game too.

If poor sportsmanship is not called out then others may see it as acceptable and play that way also, encouraging the next group to also play poorly.  This type of action can then take a life of its on with the momentum swinging to the negative side of gameplay.

If you do not care how someone plays, then why do you care if we do ?

I don't think I have to be emotionally effected by something to both form an opinion and express it.  The community has a responsibility to discourage obviously bad behavior.  I think shade vulching is obviously bad. 

What kind of person shade vulches anyway?  In my experience (and unfortunately I had a front row seat), only extremely shallow and stupid people shade vulch.  I don't like shallow and stupid people... even virtually.  You're trying to equate us (by looking up scores and fussing about shades) as holding on too tight to a silly game.  I contend it's the shade vulcher who's the vanity driven fool by making an effort to cheat a toon airplane game.

I think I get the premise of what some of you are saying.  I don't think people should be bossing others around about how they play the game either... but this?  There really isn't any argument that shade vulching is or should be a part of the game.

Have you ever created a seperate account for the express purpose of shooting it down?

No but not for any moral reason. I wouldn't spend 15 dollars for extra perks in this game. I also would not waste my time vulching a non moving plane.

Then the two of you are part of what's wrong with the world today.

Just saying.

Okay.
