Rate Your Enemy

[LCADolby]

all he needed was an old fashioned pen and little black book!,Saddly the black book didn't have any other reason to exist so it was put to use!

The last time I looked at a little black book it was full of laydees phone numbers with a star rating...

I see the issues.  How about just a Thumbs up, Meh, or Thumbs down button, no perks or score effected.  Somewhere a players Thumbs up count is listed.

Maybe silly.  Just trying to think of a way to reward the guys that make the game enjoyable and are a positive part of it.  Has nothing to do with skill, the game is supported and gets a lot of its personality from the thousands of average and below players.  The good sticks are important, but good ACM and being a fun guy to fly with/against aren't necessarily connected.  The learning curve is steep already.  A quality new guy who runs into a few poor experiences with people being *&^%s might not stick around.

Sort of like an archery or bowling league.  The scores may matter to the individual players, but an awful bowler who makes things fun, recruits new players, stays after to sweep up, etc , is a way bigger asset than a negative guy with great skills.  If you have $500 to pay out from the league, you give the hot bowlers/shooters $50 worth of trophies and spend the other $450 keeping the other 90% happy and interested with some door prizes and a BBQ night.  They pay the bills.

It's not a bad idea,except the perks part!  Rating a fight and adding a comment can be useful. Real Pilots kept a log!

  Years ago a player with a different name than Morf used to do this all the time,he logged the hours in the planes,logged sorties and made comments and all he needed was an old fashioned pen and little black book!,Saddly the black book didn't have any other reason to exist so it was put to use!

 I know most run film today and save them,I have never filmed in AH just kept a list of things.

The dreaded dot commands. erg.

I spent five minutes in the DA today when the game eliminated my cursor (the arrow one) and I forgot that it's .ef (for end flight) and not .es (for end sortie). Maybe I need a set of old man macros wired to toggles with large legible lettering. But ... on the topic of useless but amusing dot command potential:

.vjw (adjusts vox to make player sound like John Wayne)

.vojw (adjusts vox to make other player sound like John Wayne)

.vck/.vock (adjusts vox to make self or other sound like Colonel Klink - .vss/voss ... Sergeant Shultz .... I just typed 'voss' ... eh)

.du/player name (display underwear) The person you perceive as whining will have a pair of skivvies hanging off their rudder (your end only)

could of just hit "H" and got your cursor back

H, huh? You're a good egg. 

[Rino]

      Kind of wondering why I'd want my target's input on my flight.  If you had a good fight and lost it's
easy enough to .S them or give em a thumbs up on 200. 

     Letting the loser decide how many perks to award sounds lihe a fantastically bad idea with plenty
of room for generating hard feelings.  Some here act like their wee-wee shrinks if they get shot gown
as it is

I want to see Titan's diary 

[uptown]

I just ask that someone fax me a beer if I impress them enough with my fancy dandy pileot skillz. If I get good enough the deposit on the cans should pay for my AcesHigh subscription.

I do not like the rating idea because people`s emotions play a big role here and people tend to be more negative in virtual communication. Someone with a grude may give a bad rating every time. After spending some time in a game one gets to know who fights well. I think players with low rating would just change their game tag after a while. If I see a con then I do not know who it is and what kind of fight to expect. Salute or private message is a good way to say you had a good fight. Statistics and rank is also available to everyone.
