I find this utterly astounding. I've been hosting H2H games a lot here lately. Usually there's a few beefs that go around, but nothing more. Except this morning. In the wee hours I was hosting a game, as normal, just waiting for bait to show up. Finally a few people join up, and we get into a proper free-for-all with 2 rules. Don't vulch, don't ackstar, and I won't have a problem.
Well, someone decided to vulch. No big deal, he appologized right away after learning I didn't exactly like that. The player who was blasted didn't think much of it either, and took it as I did; an honest mistake. Fast-formard 15 minutes, or there abouts. He does it again, this time against me.
I didn't get mad, didn't yell, didn't throw a fit; I told him not to do that again. Again, he appologized. Five minutes later he takes out three guys on the runway with engines turning over. Now I'm mad. I dive in on the guy, blow off his right wing with my M.G. 151/20 and climb out.
His response? "*%# #(*^*^%@ @(&%^$$#!!!!!". I won't repeat it word for word. Anyway, I decided to give the little fragger a taste of his own medicine. I vulched him every time he took off. He'd get about 4-500 feet up and BOOM! Back in the tower with his lazy butt.
He left, thank God. I've had a few, and I do mean FEW, arguments blow up in games I've hosted. All I have to say is "Now, now ladies, calm down" and it stops there. Just
once have I had to threaten to Alt+F4 and kill the game.
Unlike most H2H games, I put my name on mine. That instantly identifies who's the host, and the boss. Rarely is there a problem, and when one does crop up I deal with it there and then. In the morning hours, between 1am and noon, there's a lot of great pilots joining games. So that's when I host.
During my 2 week trial I was in the MA only during non-peak hours. I purposely avoided the peak hours to stay away from the idiots. To repeat a story I've told before:

Then another wave of Bishops shows up. A B-26 is near the tail-end of the mob. I call "B-26 NE ovr 6!!". No one engages or pays any attention. I thought they would see the sucker on his second pass. Nope. 4 passes he made before retreating.
5 minutes later a B-17 shows up. Now there's at least 25 friendly fighters over A6 between 10 and 20k. I call when I spot the BUFF "B-17 N ovr 6!!!". No one responds. Then I spotted someone in a postion to intercept.
"Dude, turn around; b-17 on ur 6".
His reply?
"cc delta......stop commanding people".
Instead of teling him to blow it out his whazoo, I log out.
25 friendly fighters and not
one single pilot engages. I gave up on the MA after that. H2H games is where I'll stay until something happens that drives me away from Aces High.
Am I tired of this crap? Damn right I am. Am I gonna do something about it? Yep. I'm gonna shoot down, vulch, and hammer every little idiot I find. You vulch someone, I'll vulch you until you either get the point, leave, or I run outa ammo.

Delta 6's Flight SchoolI'll tell you anything once. If I have to tell you a second time I understand. Maybe I wasn't clear enough or you just didn't get it. If I gotta explain it three times I'll shoot you and move on to the next idiot in line!!
