I have a new motto...
"when in doubt, do what drex would do"
I try my utmost ot be a good sportsman but often I am caught up in my own character flaws of having little patience for my own miscalculations and the resultant whining on ch 1 I somtimes stoop to is a result of this.
my first solution to this was never get killed, but that made getting killed even worse, and my eagerness to vent on ch 1 even more tempting in the few deaths i died.
my second solution was try dying every sortie and although this worked for a while i found myself reverting to my more competitive tendancies and problems found in solution 1.
my third and current solution is simply to realize how much fun it is shooting others down. and since i shoot so many down so much it would seem like more fun for me if i gave them the same good humor they so often give me. granted its not easy for me somtimes. but i try to keep in mind the fact that when I am shot down, the person shooting me down gets to do the fun stuff this time, but my time to do the really fun part of winning the fight will come again many times next sortie and end half the time with giving someone else a good time. this takes much of the sting of defeat away for me.
but like i said...
"when in doubt, do what drex would do"
