Title: Players advertising other games
Post by: Tracerfi on March 26, 2014, 12:31:43 PM
It seems that some players are advertising other games which really makes me annoyed and have started a debate on 200  :bhead

Just .report them and squelch them.

If it really is obnoxious, report them and let us know about it.

   Most on 200 are Master Debaters.  :old:

  If they are playing this game and not the others then there is no debate.

   If you love them let them leave if they don't come back then they were never AH FPHs.

I think Aces High is the best option out there, but I'm curious - what's your problem? If a game, any game, is worth paying for, it should hold up under its own merits. Someone mentioning another game shouldn't be any reason to complain (like you have here) and, if there is such a debate (as you mentioned), you should be able to maintain and defend your position of it being superior quite easily.

If you cannot do the above, then you have no reason to complain otherwise. Coming here and trying to get the individual(s) silenced only supports the appearance that even the players themselves think that their game is inferior (and rightfully so).

this was poklatou <-- spelling  apparently it's manawar who was previously banned.

He was trolling trying to get a rise out of people.

Talk of other games while in our game and on the game channel can be disruptive to game play.  Anything with the potential to disrupt game play is not welcome in the radio chatter.

We talk about WT and other flight sims all the time? :old:

I have told pipzs about ROF all the time, his response is "not interested" and "I am upping a 109" :rofl

I tried EVE online which I thought was poo :old:

That is fine on the bulletin board.  In the game, it could get you lost privs.  If you want to talk about non-Aces High related topics, while in the game, take it to a private radio channel.  It is the respectful thing to do and will not serve as a catalyst to disrupt game play.

Following that logic, AH should remove 200.

Post by: -ammo- on March 27, 2014, 12:50:01 PM
No reason to remove that channel -  I get tons of entertainment out of it.  However, I do get aggravated by players running down the game and/or pushing a different game on 200. Like Uncletip EVERY TIME he logs in to the MA.

So far, i counted only 3-4 professional trolls keeping whole 200 out of cool discuss when they r on... They work so often as "tandem" i once asked myself if that wasnt a redneck+his redneck brother talkin in 200 the same way they talk in front of their tv when this "f Obama" is tryin to get guns law safer in their south state.... :devil

Hard to believe these 3-4 negative i.q guys just ruin whole 200...

Following that logic, AH should remove 200.
Although Skuzzy called ch. 200, the game channel, it is not HTC'S default cross country game channel... Channel 200 is an across arena open channel that is available if anyone desires to voluntarily self decides to tune to it. Noone is made or forced to tune, listen nor participate with/on ch. 200

Therefore, no logical reason for it to be removed.

Hope this helps

I would be interested in how you arrived at that conclusion.
Title: Re: Players advertising other games
Post by: Naughty on March 27, 2014, 04:21:16 PM

   This game can only survive with PAYING customers, and only grow with new PAYING customers. HTC puts forth A LOT of time, effort and money in advertising efforts to bring new players in. regardless of how much better this game is than the others out there, advertising or trying to get players to try the other games can only result in negative consequences for this game. and therefore should be frowned upon by all who support this game. I will most certainly .report ANYBODY openly trying to recruit players. 

        I owned 2 dating sites, and one of my constant battles was fighting off spammers trying to steal the customers I worked so hard to get and retain. I think not only is it HTC's right to ban or atleast censor this behavior, it's their duty to us, so the game we all enjoy will not only survive but continue to grow !

Very simple, your statement on March 26th:

Talk of other games while in our game and on the game channel can be disruptive to game play.  Anything with the potential to disrupt game play is not welcome in the radio chatter.
Your use of the words "Anything" and "Potential"
pronoun  

1.

any thing whatever; something, no matter what: Do you have anything for a toothache?  

noun  

2.

a thing of any kind.

adverb  

3.

in any degree; to any extent; in any way; at all: Does it taste anything like chocolate?  
Idioms

4.

anything but, in no degree or respect; not in the least: The plans were anything but definite.

Morph,

I suspect there is not a rule# for "choosing to be obtuse", to enable "walking the bleeding edge of the fire". While hiding behind it to use Literalism as ignorance for a legal defense after poking Skuzzy thinking you got one on him. Skuzzy just shaved the defendant bald to remove any and all hairs the defendant was going to split for the next three pages. Skuzzy must be in a generous mood. I've seen him do worse in the past for actions like this.

The ban stick must be in the shop getting a tune up.

Not sure I understand what the context of the question is Luciifer.

On our bulletin board, talking about another game is allowed.  While in the game we ask players to keep the focus on the game at hand.

That said, we do not allow any type of advertising for other games, anywhere.  We are also not keen on people coming to our house (game, forums...) and making disparaging remarks about our game in the hopes of luring others to another game.

It comes down to showing a modicum of respect.

  Bustr,

  I simply thought it was funny!   Skuzzy often edits posts,he edited his own post just above and it struck me as I found it ironic and funny,especially after rule 4 was modified.

   You simply couldnt pay me enough to deal with some of the "personalities" on this BBS.

I always thought 200 was setup as a honey pot trap so the mods didn't have to work very hard. I don't know if the bish and rook range text is like knight land range text. But, knight land range text is pretty boring. Everyone who wants to cut loose does it on ch200.

There is no "range" text. If you are referring to the purple text which commonly is being called "range" -it actually is "room".
The reason I'm always picking on this is that many players do believe it truly is a range text and works just like range vox - which it doesn't at all.
