Right. I'll send flowers next time.

Cya up.

My first sortie in the CT
« Reply #16 on: February 05, 2002, 08:17:42 PM »
I talk to whoever talks to me. I help whoever asks for help to a point.I tend to miss loads of stuff on the radio while im fighting and i dont always pay attention on climb out as im watching tv in same room.I often other fliers.I fly CT a lot

My personal experience is CT is much quieter than MA but mainly due to far fewer people typing.

The one thing you cant 'expect' from an online game is a warm welcome or lots of chat but it often happens.Surely you cant think this behaviour is some sort of snobbery or elitism?

ignorence, lack of attention maybe but no snobbery.

Mr. Hanky,

Your point about first impressions is well taken. I’m sorry it wasn’t a better experience. Not to speak for Hangtime  --we’ll OK I am -- but if he ignored you, I assure you he wasn’t being exclusive or arrogant. I’ve always found him willing to talk, help or offer thanks. Hell, the real problem is getting him to shut up.

Sounds like your going to stick around – I bet you find your first impression isn’t typical.

I suppose that translates to "I really thought I sent you flowers"...

Well Hanky for me not having flown in AH in a couple of weeks I typically do one thing. I ignore everything on channel 1 for the most part. Plus I almost always turn kill messages off because I don't need to know who got killed or who did the killing. Not to mention a habit I picked up in the MA of squelching channel 1 almost every time I log in.

Also is this your game ID? If so then people are probably thinking that you are someone else because I remember another hanky from WB and a while back in AH.

Anyway good luck in the game and the arena and look me up in the CT over the next few days. I will be logging in to get time with our newbie :D  squadron guy Taggart.
