Never cared much for people needing to exaggerate to cover their butthurt.  MDStampf made claims and comments tonight that were simply that - gross exaggerations. 

Here's the film forum link that 100% refutes those assertions.  https://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/index.php/topic,412631.0.html 

Getting wearisome being held to a higher standard for some reason and dealing with these gross exaggerations that no one ever seems to be able to prove despite it somehow being a common thing for *me* to HO people.

One more time, a great arena with a lot of actions in a camaraderie environment. I would like to receive input regarding what is considered a HO ? , it's a pure head to head or head to side shooting? I have been trying not to generate conflict in MNM by not shooting head to side and using head to six o'clock enemy planes beside the angle ( sometimes due to a happy trigger, I fail to do so ). But I agree, we are all doing our best to avoid this.

Good fun, great fights and flying.

My rule of thumb is if you both can/could reasonably put guns on each other at the same time, it's a HO.

Fun times as always, thanks for hosting Jaeger.

To me a ho is 12 on head to head,,, but when your in turn fights to me anything from the 6 to the 9-3 is fair game even if ya hit the engine side while in the turn or coming out of a loop as long as ur not 12-12 …. Anyway I had fun tonight and will be back for more torture!!!

Sometimes best way to deal with a problem...is to ignore it, let the Lord handle it...it will go away on it's own.

The definition of a HO is where the issue is in MNM..

In MA it is what Wiley stated..

In MNM some take it to mean anything forward of the 3 to 9 line..

I usually only have an issue with a new guy who didn't know better while trying to take my shots behind the 3 to 9 line..doesn't always happen though..

Thanks for hosting Jaeger1!

TBH, longer term attendees are finally starting to hold off on those sketchy reversing shots. I can literally see them laying off the trigger as they identify planform perspectives.  Yay!  About time!

And just like you say, the issue is generally newer players - and just like you (?) I call them out with simple phrasing - yet my comments seem to be held to a different standard because it's text, not vox.   

This is what offends MNM weebz, apparently - the fact it's text, not vox?  Below is the entirety of my comments for a good 40mins of MNM, (and this was a MNM I had typed most over the past several months.) 

Seriously, what below could be considered what is being claimed about my ch223 comments being divisive or hurtful?  What words do you use when experiencing those newbie HOs, considering you said you take issue with it.





This is why I  at weaksauce attempts to make me into some kind of bad guy, lofl.   

Also this: At the end of MNM (5/25/26), MDstampf straight up HOed me and played it off as "ha ha, last shot of the night."   That was why he got the "sorry-ish" comment on the non-ho crossing shot this week.  Yeah, this "non-HO" - lofl. 



Integrity is something one has at all times, not only when people are watching.  Looking right at you MDStampf.

Oh, here's a link and screenshot to that HO shot from MDStampf, you know, to show I'm not just making stuff up like so many seem to do.

If that's the case, that's a viewpoint that is worth nothing more than a moment's contempt.

On a completely unrelated note, it slipped my mind last night.  Tip for all players- the proper usage of the squelch command

.squelch playername

It can clean up channel spam when someone's babbling ad nauseum about something that you don't want to see.

Are you referring to the MA because there's no MNM ch223 text spamming or babbling.  On a definitely related note,I think most here are aware of the .squelch command, but some may find the .vsquelch command useful in MNM in limiting falsehoods being repeated and believed.

[DmonSlyr]

I'll make a video of the proper way to avoid the HO, or if necessary go nose on to initiate the HO truce. I have mostly mastered this art. The rule of thumb when HOing is not allowed is, if both players dont initiate a HO truce by both getting around and pointing nose on each other relatively at the same time, than its usually not a HO because the others excuse is they are trying to create an early angle that could benefit them in the fight. Therefore you should take the shot to avoid their angle set up. If you both secure the truce knowing youll go head on, then the angle will be adjusted during/after the pass leaving it up to the next maneuver to determine the positional advantage of the fight.

I agree with this definition. It's like jousting. If you're both in a position to be shooting at each other...

In the game I currently play the HO is expected, and some are dang good at it. I've found the most effective way to avoid it is to start firing at them just outside of max range and it will cause most to break off the attack. The ones that continue seem to be better shots on average. If I have the airspeed to avoid their shots I will try to, but if I don't I will continue shooting at them with the goal of lining up for a collision if they do manage to get me. The good think about the collision model is most of the time both die! lolz

Thanks for helping prove my point about what a "HO" is or is not. 

Protip: MNM has explicit rules, not my rules, mind you, but rules I follow because rules.

Oh, there are so very many reasons to squelch people.  Sometimes they're talking about a subject you don't give a tinker's dam about.  Sometimes they're being loud.  Sometimes you just get sick of hearing someone browbeat people over their pet peeve constantly.  Politics is another good one.  Sometimes they're just complaining incessantly about one or many things.  That's a far from exhaustive list, but you maybe get the idea.

It just makes the game so much better when you can get rid of the noise, and it is so easy to do.
