I jeep getting harrased in the game. If I find success against the bishops I'm outright called a cheater every day I play. I'm tired of it.

Appreciate the advice and suggestions on how to handle this on my end.

I will definitely do my part for my own sanity and use squelch from now on. Always felt that was a cop out but in certain situations it's there if we need it. Also going to detune 200 for awhile. It's just unfortunate to have to go to these lengths and miss out on comments made by others and the great conversations had. Is what it is time for me to grow up on the subject.

Meta,
   
    Don't let others with their own issues get under your skin.  Enjoy the game and use the squelch feature.  Those squelched are only saying something that is not constructive anyways.  Their words fall on deaf ears and they get the silent treatment.  Pretty soon, they wonder if anyone is listening because I'm sure others have squelched them as well.  Take the accusations as compliments and laugh about those brooding over losing a fight.  I got some extra thick-skin flight suits available if you want one.  They aren't washed though.    :O   

Peace brother,   One-eye   :salute

All well and good joking around implying drug use, amusing lightweight mental breakdowns and mocking someone who is a bit vocal and different from you until you realise that the number one killer of men under 35 years of age is not war, road-traffic accidents, murder or cancer but suicide. Eighty percent of suicides are men and the rate amongst men aged 35-64. is - in some places - in sharp increase. Someone living alone with dogs, with the EQ of a tube of toothpaste & unable to form a meaningful relationship with a real woman which does not require inflating, childless and only able to interact with people through (what they find) amusing gifs or profoundly ignorant one-line comments on a game forum is eventually going to start looking at their 9mm in a different way. Although initially purchased with self-defence in mind, the associations and idle handling of the weapon begin to be connected with the futility of life, the missed opportunities for growth and the desolate isolation of a declining existence alone, unloved and without purpose. At a given moment they realised that hanging onto life being all that they are is merely stubbornness and force of habit. Their body, now partially consumed by their once beloved pet dogs, lying for weeks undiscovered and only then when bills begin to become unpaid. Our only hope is that when he does inevitably press that muzzle against his temple, the bullet goes clear through his head and misses his tiny brain entirely, only hitting un-vital bone and fatty tissue. Otherwise - I don't know about you guys - I would really miss Coogan's contributions to this forum.

If it's the same people doing it, Dale will get enough flags and look into it.  Especially if the actions words of others are interfering with someone's ability to enjoy the game.

When you where giving a speech about that you where the GOAT on 200 I just had to laugh really hard. The but question was not meant to be disrespectful.

Watching your films I was impressed and i showed them to my friend. Great fun.

But what i will say, if you put yourself out there like this and have strong opinions about things that have been discussed for ages. People will give you some flak and in some discussions you where not respectfull to the ones replying. On the contrary, some where also disrespectful towards you.

Anyways most people here have no hard feelings towards you and are pretty helpful.

Looking forward to shoot at your bombers sir  :cheers:

Ps: ignore the haters

PPS: I side switch every day. Don't get the hate.

Regarding the suggestions to simply detune 200 or refrain from posting: often these things become entangled with the gameplay or motivation for playing in the first place. Not always a simple choice to do so immediately.

Blaming others will not help you. Words are just words, they do nothing.  It is what you do with the words that is the issue. When you let it bother you and they know it..... they are going to pile it on. Don't let it bother you, just ignore it.... they will grow bored and go away. In the end they are just plucking your string because they like the sound.

I was just about to sit down and play a bit and Then I sat down. read this… and slowly backed away  :bolt:

I heard the rook portion of your soliloquy and that was pretty similar to this. I’m still not sure what you’re unhappy about.  :furious

I would listen to those encouraging you to take a break from AH and seek some outside support.  :aok

I don’t think most people realize how bad they are at fighting buffs. I’m comically bad at it and I’ve been playing 15 years. So the players with experience shooting down planes chasing their bombers are going to shoot me a bit faster than the others. Most people probably think that means you’re cheating. :joystick:

I don’t tune to 200 audio or chat. I stick with the rook country chat. I also never squelch anyone except for a rare few because they could be telling me something I might need to hear and I can handle internet tough guy syndrome. (Vraciu is pending lol) Besides, I’m 50 and probably one of the younger people on at any given time! Ha!  :old:

Just take some time off and get some help.  :rock

Back in 2022 after a loooooong break from 2010. Old name Ratpack, same for the BBS.

Squad I did the most tours with were the Excaliburs then The 172nd Rabid Dogs. Still trying to talk Illigaf, Coola, Oldman22, and Joecrow into coming back instead of being boring old farts!

This is sadly true. I arguably have more motivation than average to be misanthropic. But deliberately revelling in the pain of other creatures is disturbingly weak & sick to my mind. Someone in difficulty often only needs one person to take a moment and try to help.

I'm trying to keep the game interesting when it's struggling

Hi mERv

If you see me on in the game and something is spoiling your fun, give me a shout. I've been flying a lot lately but I'm usually wearing shades so the next time I see you I'll touch base so you know who I am.

Not sure what aspects of the game you are into, but if you enjoy quality air to air fights I'd be happy to provide you with some quality time in the DA or TA. Nothing like a good workout to put the fun back into your flying.

If you use vox we can just talk as well if you just want to get stuff off your chest.

There is nothing you can experience in this game that I haven't seen many times before so I may even be able to offer you a helpful perspective on it. I'm also happy to provide you with some backup in the MA if you just need a little support to achieve some goal or other.

Regards
