Tag Puma you’re in 
.
Listen Shane… I know you feel like you get ganged up on a lot, whether it be in the game or on the boards or wherever.. but your “location”, Sig lines, and overall attitude towards everyone really doesn’t help your case, and I’m trying to say this in a nice way.
Well, ok then.
I was introduced to the AvA early on and fell in love with the no icon concept that was
in effect then. Such a great real world simulation. So wish we could go back to that but, I digress. Even then, HOing was strongly discouraged, which made it even more appealing. As we all know, HOing is a common tactic used by many in the MA. From observation, it seems that is the only lethal move that many players have because they are BFM deficient. BFM is the core of a fighter pilots tool kit, back then and still today.
So, on to the Shane HO issue. Every MNM there are inadvertent HO events. The vast majority of players “own it”, apologize, and move on. When that single HO happens and it’s accidental in the heat of the knife fight, that understandable and most of us move on. But, when the same player HOs once, then twice, and maybe more in the same sortie. That’s unacceptable, desperate behavior by someone without BFM skills, or just going for the easy cheap shot because of being to lazy to work it behind the 3/9 line. There have been a small number of players that resort to that kind of play.
Shane’s frequent use of the HO is well known. When called out, he argues, starts the name calling, whining, and complaining. The regulars in the AvA are well aware of it.
So, yeah Shane I HOed you, intentionally, as explained above. Save time and don’t bother posting film to prove it. And, in the future, expect the same if you want to play the HO game.
In closing, if you intend to respond with some of your snappy name calling, don’t bother.
The AvA is a fantastic place to get away from the irritants of the real world and have fun. So, let’s all do the fun part.
Check six, gentlemen!
