You think a kill message change is going to blunt egos enough to make this crowd timid and non-aggressive?.....yeah, right.
We are all virtual pilots, we all think we are pretty toejam hot ( c'mon...you do, admit it) and we are all as eager to prove it to the guy with the red icon as we ever were.
Before, I squelched 6 on entry to the arena, so no kills but mine mattered to me anyway, now, I dont bother squelching 6, 'cause there is no need, now I see who landed a multi kill sortie and in what...still means jack toejame to me in 99% of cases ( xxxxxxx landed a 6 kill sortie in a Ju88, or Val, or 234 or something would make me sit up and take notice , the same in a Nik, Spit, 190, G10 etc etc, wouldnt)
If having your name up in lights means that much to you, land the sortie, shouldnt be a problem if you are half as good as you would like everyone to think you are.
If that takes too much time, and you are really in it for the 'trigger time' anyway, it wont mean a thing either way if the world sees your name or not.
