Had the same thing happen a couple of days ago. I was in a p47 tracking two incoming dar bars. Saw the first one at about 28 k. Didn't even get in icon range he bailed when he saw my

Was regressing from Indian country in B-29, pursuing P-47 bailed after chasing a sector or so.

Programming 'time-outs' is not going to help this game no matter how much personal satisfaction those recommending it would get (for awhile). Get over selfish ranting and come up with something better. Just ...... sayin'.  :aok

Agreed. The only solution offered so far that doesn't punish legitimate occurrences is the one that prevents bailing as long as your plane is structurally sound. Do we really want that to apply to every single machine we operate? That would be the only fair way to do it.

I'm telling you guys,  public shaming is the only way.    :old:

All else is complex nanny state solutions for a simple behavioral issue.   Don't be a sissy pacifist.   Your game needs you!    :old:

Ultimately, I agree with this. Not sure it's enough of an issue to spend time on.

'Public shaming' is it's own behavioral issue. How's it worked out for you so far? I'm here for my game (not like some who are way too much into the shame game).  :D

If Arlo Guthrie had believed that, you sir, would not have a name.  Use his activism as a guide and stop being a sissy.  This board needs your picture finding/creating/posting power in order to properly and thoroughly shame Bomb N' Bailers (BnBers).

I know you are, which is why we need your help.  Your game is this BBS.  This is where you can make an impact.  You don't need to type anything witty (:)), all we ask is that you be vigilant.  When a BnB thread comes up (or a BnBer is mentioned in a thread) you spring (OK, just slowly animate) into action and blast all necessary threads with pictures designed to shame the BnBer.  That's it. 

All we ask you to do is just be... you.

The real Arlo Guthrie would thrash you like a dog for not taking a stand against injustice.

Your hippie activist card is hereby revoked.

I think it's quite fitting to call the behavior police 'Officer Obie' from now on.  :D



(You're right! This seems just the ticket, Officer Obie.)  :D
