HOW we could handle Shade Accounts

[5PointOh]

All you guys talking about is perk farming... padding scores/rank..... What about achievements? getting achievements either using shade accounts, or getting your squaddie to help you get the achivements... i haven't seen anyone up at SDKfz 251 for quite a while now... last kill for the GV achievement... kinda like a thorn in the side dun you think...if time was esstential in getting that achievement, how long do i need to wait to get that achievement? i live in ASIA... by the time i get back from work to get on aces, usually there isn't anyone on...blah blah blah.

Sad story, here's mine I travel for work, sometimes I get to play sometimes I don't.  It all depends on the hotels net connection.  I too don't get to play on weekend due to spending time on weekends with my girl friend. But here's they thing, achievements aren't always meant to be accomplished in one hour of play.  And yes, some players will use the SDK to make thier final achievements.

It seems some people have ethics and some do not
I prefer to be in a society with ethics, RL & ingame.
AH always used to have a gentlemans code of conduct
It's a pity to see it slip away

How long have you played AH?

[muzik]

    it is serious business coombzy how very dare you.   

You say that as if you are mocking him. 

[muzik]

Oh no .... the perceived 'gentleman's code of conduct' that was once 'a part of this community.'  

Ethics can't be practically coded.

WHO are you? And why haven't I noticed this voice of sanity before the last couple weeks?

[coombz]

he is always making fun of me I am thinking of filing a complaint with HTC for cyber-bullying and starting a public outcry to get him thrown out of his squad as per this thread http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/index.php/topic,348894.0.html

Didn't you guys already demote him?

[coombz]

slight typo caused some confusion there, we actually emoted him

I am ... the very model of a modern major general .....

I'm the proverbial long-term sporadic AH player who, every time he comes back,
sees the same arguments, claims, counter-claims made by players (old and new).

But ... more importantly ... I see the changes made to the game and I suppose
it makes more of a positive impression on me than it would have were I not so
sporadic.

I've been privileged to be part of a great squad and they welcome me back every
time. I recognize players in various squads and smile when I do. Sometimes a few
of them recognize me back. Sometimes the names have been changed to protect
the guilty, innocent, forgetful, whateveh.

AH is kinda like family. Just like AirWarrior was. 

[muzik]

Yes!   

Just add in a low ENY uber ride of your own creation and control for you to shoot down using said hangar queen turd.

Now... walk with me here... tell me how the above scenario is fits into the intended use of the perk point system.  You can do it!    

If I'm following your accusation here correctly, I don't think he suggested that the perk system was built to accommodate perk farming shades, he suggested that Hitech is smart enough to have suspected it would happen when he came up with it. Hence, if he/they were concerned enough about it happening, they would probably have taken a different approach.

It's lame, but it's their time. Personally, I couldn't stand the boredom.

THATS what I been trying to tell everybody.   

[alpini13]

how about one account per household.......im pretty sure you can tell if there is more than one computer at that location by the  internet connection location number.............they would have to have multiple locations to have multple accounts..............this would not solve the problem, but i would suspect it would limit it.....and if they were caught, they should be banned from that location....no matter if they try for a new account or name change.  i have seen many players be accused on here...loose their account,and then come back under a new name. that would only be possible if that had a new location as well. again...it would not solve the problem, but may reduce it........................... ...and as for other ideas from the first page....what about those fellows that  cheat and use other means of communication...like teamspeak or other outside the game coms.........who knows what they are saying or planning on there......maybe if reported to the GUBMINT, and if they were a US citizens, the GUBMINT can use a drone and take care of the problem.....like they recently did to 4 u.s. citizens.........that they are willing to admit to.lol

How long have you played AH?

6 or 7 years
long before the new stats and score system got put in place
the shade killers used to have to be caught in the act
then they where shamed and ridiculed and decent squads booted them...
now it seems people don't care so much if they are caught at it......
shame I say

I can't say with absolute certainty that this was going on in the earliest days of AH, but I don't believe there was ever a time when some questionable behavior or other didn't occur. I remember rumors of cheating and score manipulation all the way back to AW. There was no innocent generation in this game. The fictitious honor code made up by a few on these boards is a joke. The Hoing, hoarding, kill stealing, and everything else being complained about today has always been around.

It may have been a little less prevalent, most likely due to population growth, and it should be discouraged.

But seriously, if someone can't get a 262 any other way and Htc makes an extra 15 bucks here and there. It's no skin off your nose unless your SA fails you and he sneaks up on you in his 262.

The ONLY problem I see with it, is that if someone is doing this in another arena, they are not just wasting their own time with this silly gimmick, they are depriving the rest of the population of victims. It may be "their 15 bucks" but I pay my 15 for a target rich environment as I expect most others also want for their money.

So, if you had a son (or daughter) who wanted an account ... or, your significant other wanted their own ... your father, if you live with him or both parents?

Used to?

Most enjoyable reply to read out of this whole mess of a thread!

I also liked Guppy's reply too....

if I see ya ingame, Arlo, I'll say "hi", regardless if I'm on my main account, or playing under one of my others <grin>

Cheers
