Rooti'n Zooti'n Good Times...

At least annoying threads on the bbs can't impact game play.

And how has it directly impacted your game play? How many times has archied or this guy shot you down in a 262 or any other perked plane?
Again I think its lame but seriously its not that big a deal

I'm losing sleep,  thereby getting shot down more often. 

The impact on game play should be obvious.   Player shade vulches,  gains mucho perks,  uses mucho perks to fly more perk planes more often.   If you agree the planes are perked for a reason,  then you have to believe they give the player options he or she otherwise wouldn't have if a non perk ride were chosen.   Viola.  Gameplay impacted.

Everytime I've shot at 49ROOT he has shot back 

Yeah...  This one doesn't scream shade to me either.   The numbers could be a result of a massive pummeling of a drunken pilot.

so you are saying that it hasnt directly impacted your gameplay what so ever. You are just a busy body being concerned with others.

Are you familiar with DokGonzo's 'Tao of Hate?' Here be opportunity. Are you a pilot or a pile-ette? If you aren't up to the task, how mu h of a bounty will you put up?

For the record, I'd prefer to spam the wishlist forum, but this behavior is not to be tolerated and poses a greater net loss to the game experience than any positive gains from my ideas.

Even if shade accounts were controlled completely, there is always the potential for "unprincipled collaboration" if you will.
IMHO a good fix, as I've mentioned earlier, would be to simply not award perks or ranking data for kills of players when they constitute more than 5% of your overall kill total for that tour.

Decent players: go look at your own stats in a given tour and tell me how many of you would object to such a system.

You can't legislate morality in RL, but you can coad it to a degree in a virtual one.
 
No, I've never been killed by Archie or Zooty in a 262, but someone else might, and it's the principle of the thing. I'm rather annoyed nothing has been done, that made the difference between taking the time to post a new thread and simply moving on.  For me this issue is beginning to represent a wider triumph of capitalism at its worst over decency and principle.

I hate to tell you this, but in this particular case it is possible that these are legit kills.

c'mon you don't think perhaps you are over reacting just a little?

Commie.

so you are saying that it hasnt directly impacted your gameplay what so ever. You are just a busy body being concerned with others.

So you're saying you agree with my assessment of how shade vulching impacts game play but have chosen to call me a busy body because your argument has no merit.

For the record,  I didn't discover any of the recent vulchers.   I will try harder for you in the future though.

you keep saying that this affecting peoples game play and ruining the game. I asked you very simply how it has directly impacted your game play to which you have been unable to give a single answer.
seems as if you keep posting just to post. Have fun with that and best of luck to you

An argument that has no merit would be more akin to poor comprehension combined with playing obtuse.

I must be lucky that I haven't been kilt by a shade vulchers perk ride that I know of. .   But couldn't the hundred or more guys who've been shot down by ArchieD and his discount jet count themselves as having been impacted?   Naw...  I bet they're just busy bodies too.    

The only real argument is whether the attitude you and others have of "mind your own business it's just shade vulching" will encourage more of it.   Who can say?   Common sense tells me that turning a blind eye to toolshed behavior does nothing to stop it,  though.  

That enough substance to justify me posting?

[BluBerry]

Yep, it's a non-issue and we should all mind our own business.  Then tell me, why aren't you minding yours?

Uh huh.
