your squadie missed the time by seconds or minutes, depending on how long it took for him to relog and asked to be let in.  it's already been posted before and has been established that the rules were followed.

Instead of accusing, you could have been asking that in the future perhaps  the time to rejoin due to disco's should be changed and propose a change.  you could have generated more goodwill than just outright accusing people and demand that they be reprimanded..

Maybe so, I did not have all the information, still don't. And I'm not a person to hold the hands of people who are easily offended.

That's an excuse for not having tact or deliberately trying to come across as abrasive.  It was a situation that occurred (past tense) in a video game.  You had the luxury of time to craft a message (public or private) that didn't come off as a hissy fit.

Judging others do not define them, it defines you. I can not answer for how you choose to interpret what I write, for after all it can and will be interpreted differently than what I intend according to who is reading. Unless I had the time to write a book to eliminate mis-interpretation, I did not have that luxury.

Any person with negative / hostile intentions can and will read your post mis-interpreting it. Which is why being nice is that much more important on a bbs, to get along, or people will jump you much like you do. Maybe I am getting old but I did not have the patience to be nice nor do I care for people who are clueless.

Why do you need to write a book to ask about the reconnection rules?  Ooo... I know! You had already made up your mind that this was some sort of Killuminati conspiracy to keep your squad down.  You wanted to rant and rave, so you did.  The only thing your OP was missing was a youtube video of you marching circles of protest in your kitchen. 

The only negative opinion I have of you is this thread.  Before now, I had never even heard of you.  You don't have to fake being nice to anyone here.  All you have to do is not type like you're about to light yourself on fire.  Please don't blame this on you being 'old', either.  Plenty of old people know how to type concise questions without going off the deep end.  Plenty of old people have the patience to type a paragraph describing an internet disconnection without demanding answers immediately.

The only one acting clueless about this is you. 

P.S. - In the 5 minutes it took me to write this (thank God for patience), there were several things I almost typed out but omitted.  If I can do it, you can too.

considering how easily you got upset over something that didn't happen to you.

I think a t+30 disco role should implemented. If a person dies before then, they are done. However, if they disco they should be allowed to take off.

Well thanks for proving my point.

Most people listen not with the intent to understand, only to reply. For their own ends and purposes. Most are also too ignorant to know the difference.

What I think would be best is if the disco reconnect in flight feature would work when fields are closed.  As I understand it works now, once fields are closed, disco reconnects don't work.  If they did, it wouldn't matter when it happened, you'd still have a chance to get back into your plane unless something bad happened to it.  I think that's about as reasonable as it can get.  No time limits, doesn't reward people for plug pulling, no downside I can see.

Before = after? Just attempting to clarify.  :salute :cheers:

"Dies" as in shot down or crashed before T+30 re-up cutoff, your one life is over. If you disco before T+30, fields are open for instant re-up. Pretty much the way it is now but fields aren't locked until T+30.

Thank goodness airplanes never had mechanical failures when heading into combat resulting in a reduction of force put into the mission.

This is the view I've always had on this issue and it makes perfect sense. However in the context of this environment we have here of real people playing this simulation in a virtual environment I don't think it's right either to prevent people from participating in the main activity that is fun for them and that keep them in the game paying their monthly fee.

-

Having said that, I was fairly upset when posting this and of course that reflects in the post. While I am of the opinion that any mature person would try to erase the upset tone of the post to try to get to what I'm actually saying, the message of the post. It is also obvious that it will be very natural for some to jump on the controversy it creates and do their best to inflate it. That was not what I wanted, although obviously it is bound to happen because of my post so I apologize for that to the CM team. I think those of you able to recognize what my intention was with this already know it, while those who still don't probably never will. So I'll leave it there, no further explanation needed.
