Ok this is my *****/whine. Just came from the main arena to vent so here it is. Dantoo, who in the 8 months i have been playing this was the first time i had seen him, seems to have a problem.
He might be a good guy, but from what just happened, first impression though is everything. I had found/tracked enemy cv, reported it, so a bunch of us launch to kill it. He kills it then doesn't say anything, when i sent a message saying "it would be nice if you told us you had killed that cv so we would not waste resources on something already dead", he tells me he is squelching me as he does not talk to 2 weekers! 8 months online paying and playing and i was furious! This is how we want to represent this game! Stuck up bunch of snobs who only talk to there squadies or people who have been here, what 6 months-2years, were do we draw the line? I play for the country i am in and try to help were and how i can, doesn't matter who it is, or how long he's been playing, if he is in my country i try to give check 6's ect.. Ok that's it, aaah i feel better.:confused:
-
blah blah blah blah

Say "I get mad at a video game" three times to realize how stupid this sounds.
-
Here's a cookie.. feel better?
-
In a year or so, if your still with us as I hope you will be... You will look back and giggle at this.
Hey, we all have our days bud. Dont let what someone says get to you like that. Remember its a game for one. And second, you are playing with real people, people who are human and arent perfect.

Ack-Ack

Every game has its idiots and unsociable people. Save yourself an ulcer, and blow them off like a fruit fly. No matter what you do in this world, their will always be someone who's very existance seems to dispute Darwin's theory. Don't give them any power over you. Write them off and move on.
Sort of like the fool who had nothing to contribute but "blah blah blah.."
My mind says "fool" and then I flick the switch on him. Viola, no ulcer. If someone else's behavior has to change in order for you to feel better, you've given them way too much power.
The dirty little secret is half the people in this world are below average.
-
Dantoo calling someone a two weeker... dunno if that is worth getting riled up about, but who the hell is this Dantoo?
-
Dantoo is a good guy, he trained me for the CM staff, and he flies with the 9 Giap.. Has been playin for quite some time.. I only have praises for him.
-
ohh furious....your killin me:rofl

i flip the switch on people who get pissed off due to events that occured in an online video game.

Come on, union rules clearly state the only people who are allowed to do that must have been here since beta.
No dropping out, no name changing, no vacations, and no excuses.
The rest of you are ALL newcomers.
Get over it & have fun eh?

Do you, as an AH member want people putting forth the image that if you are new, I.E. 2 weeks, 6 months what ever, you can not ask a fellow country member for help or information.? Do you just pay to play to lose all the time? Do you want the perks for winning a reset? My biggest problem with this was the blatent discrimination of the NEW guy then the outright transmission of that on the country channel. When i commented on the above mentioned action of sinking the C.V. he did not even think but immediatly replied that he was squelching myself and another player, as he did not talk to 2 weekers. I feel that you, as the senior members should police your own and i should not have to bother AH staff unless we can not resolve the issues amongst ourselves. He may be an alright guy in your opinion, but that kind of behavior really detracts from the game and should be discouraged.
-
Hey, 2-weeker, quit whining.
-
squelch him back
-
If being called 2 weeker frustrate you to the point you have to post in the BBS ... then you are probably a 2 weeker :p
Now seriously , who cares ?

Are you planning on calling hitech to complain about this?
OMG!!:rofl Your kidding right? Think you should grow a thicker skin AND stop expecting others to always "volunteer" a sitrep SA SA SA you sound like a 2 weeker no wonder he squeched ya

Okay, okay...I think wrongwayric gets the picture now. :)
-
I know how you feel, wrongway. Reading this thread kind of makes me pine for the WB glory days c1998-2000 (briefly interrupted by WB2.6 in 1999). There's precious little teamwork in AH, but there is some. You have to learn how to find it. Speak to people on VOX. Some can't reply if they have no mike. But if they can't even be bothered to type a text, screw 'em.
-
Wrongway ric,
it is no different than your countrymen asking you if a goon is inbound to a certian base, and you keep saying yes, your position, etc....and bout time you get close enough to drop, you see another countrymen dropping troops with out ever saying a word. You simply flew a mission for nothing or did you? what if he had missed his target sinking the CV? you would have been there for backup! Trust me it will happen over and over again as long as you play AH. ;)

Try to throw INTELLIGENT smack back.
If you succeed, you won't be called a 2 weeker again.
I bet you will find it far more entertaining.
Taking all this seriously and requesting civilized behaviour here and in the game is like pissing in a headwind, as this thread clearly shows.
note the 4th word on the second line in this post.
I've grown to cherish the moments when good smack is tossed about on ch. 1.
You see, I'm exposing myself as rather dweeby by making a serious reply to your post... profound, eh?
-
Jodgi is flying in for a one time only conference at the Dallas Convention Center this weekend. The lecture will be " The Power Of Channel One Smack Talk".
Tickets will be sold at area Ticket Master locations and also at the door..
Don`t miss out on this once in a lifetime opportunity.
:D
-
Caveman, that was the point. :)
Wrongwayric, there was a point to my post, sorry you missed it.
My post was pure tongue in cheek.
Sarcasm, poking fun at ALL of you newby's.
Meant to bring levity.
Not meant to put YOU down. Meant more to put down those you accuse of putting you down.
Hence the words " union rules clearly state" There is no union in AH.
Respect is alive & well in AH. But it must be earned. No one is picking on the 2 weekers. But the fact is a LOT of people come & go in AH.
So the good ol boy network is in place.
Relax, take a deep breath. Given time, & consideration eventually you'll be one also.
Yelling about it makes it worse not better.
-
anyone who kills cv's deserves to waste as much time as possible. probly even worse than fuel porkers.

Then where the heck has my union dues been going to?!?!
-
Seabat, your bad methinks.
That was the AH widows fund you've been paying. Or it could have been the AH Addicts fund. I'd have to check the paperwork. FYI just so you don't worry, that money is being spent in a good cause so keep it coming.

Sounds to me like another fine example of the common mentality in the game.
*Falls in line with people flyin in hordes of 50 at undefended bases
*Falls in line with usin a countrymen as bait & not tellin them they are draggin & you clearing.
*Falls in line with shooting planes already going down, hoping to steal the kill
You can type about it all you want, but IMO we now have so many players that the "chivalry" of the game has deminished to an almost non-existant point.
So just asimilate, grab yer heavy spit N1k or la7, grab 30 wingmen & 20K altitude. Go SMASH & GRAB that undefended base! WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeeee eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee this is fun!
We need a way for Vets to give their perk points away as they leave the game for good. Personally, my biggest current challenge is losin all my perks before months end.

Well I hate to say it but I can see that point of view lol. I have to come up with all sorts of new things to keep myself interested in AH. Last month it was ackstarrin in buffs. Least I had a chance against the horde hehe. Think Ill practice landing Ki-61 in the cruiser...crap..already been done..:(

Have you had this stutter a long time, Westy?

It's nice we have a place to work on our wizecracks.

Now there is a vultch comment, killing an enemy cv that is off your base is worse than porking a field! LOL maybe it's just me but that has to be the most idiotic comment yet. CV's spawn faster than you can usually take back a base so in the interest of the country you kill the cv so you can keep your base. Now to most vet's in the game they love the cv off the base as it usually represents easy kills, untill they get swarmed, then they yell for help and all us poor sobs run to help while they bail from the base and leave it to us to give the perks to the other side.
Well the vets all resonded at least they have the nads to do it and i appreciate it. May we all eventually be nothing but porkers and vutchers/swarmers maybe the game will benefit from it. Doubt that is what you want but that's were it is heading.:(

Sell your account on ebay!
-
Soooo......you want everyone to be courteous of others and state what they are doing / have done, so you dont wind up wasting time? LOL good luck with that ;)
-
Sell my account on E-Bay LOL what ya think i'd get for it?
-
You all take the piss out of him, but he DOES have a valid point, and its why this game is starting to get dull....in the "old days" people would call out for goons, and others would say im on the ay. Now days, no one calls for goons... then wonders why there isnt any. so i up a goon, fly 20miles only for some OTHER goon that didnt report himself to take the base. Is that team work? no, as he said it was a waste of resources.
Now wheres my cookie? ;)
-
Thank you overlag!!! your the first one that actually got the point. Smart man! May all your kills be 1v1. Ok that's a dream but we can wish it. LOL

I got your point fully....BUT...AFter flying here about 6 months..then taking a break..and returning again..I find it to be maybe a lil more full of Cocky arrogant self serving no helping only here for them selves types than was here the first time I was in here. But ya know what? I have NO problem with that. It's there way to be GOD's of AH...pretend that you are beneath them. Make Newbs feel generally like morons. Offer no assistance and heaven forbid they EVER EVER call your 6 as it may spoil their kill.:lol :rofl
With that said...I have learned that it is JUST A GAME. 's to all even when ho'ed...When I'm called names I just whisper to myself "He has issues" or "He was an abused child or is currently an abused child"
I don't ask very often at all about Goons..Carriers...Eggs needed...Nothing. I just fly my lil Spit V to where there are 1 or 2 Dots..and DIE with grace.
Learn to do that more...and youll have ALOT less headaches and Ulcers.:aok :aok :aok
-
That was quite a boring whine, no humor at all in it, and just one big blob of text made it even worse, and of course it was directed at a nice guy which again gives it less points. Overall score would be -2 IMO.
-
Teamwork? teamwork is not as important as washing. have we all washed today? if you havnt do it now. not anouncing a CV kill is one thing, but stinking to high heaven when your in a confined space, such as a cockpit, is by far a worse crime
And ric, your going the wrong way :aok

Wooohooo 1st on second page!

thank you . i better start posting then :)

I dont think you fully understand. You want teamwork, some do not, at least in the way you do. Some want to fly and find a fight, kill or be killed and do it all over again. Base captures can be fun, as long its not a horde. 4 or 5 guys taking a base, defended by near equal numbers is tons of fun, at least until the vulchfest starts, defending is too. But, I for one, and many others don't play this game for the strategic points. I dont care so much about base captures unless there is gonna be a fight involved, and many seem to feel the same.
Now dont get me wrong, if there are a couple of knits out there who need a bit of help, I'm willing to lend a hand, but if theres 20 - 30 of 'em and they need my help, they may as well give up cause I wont do them any good ;)
I'll speak on country if I have killed a vh somewhere, so the GV's know there are no more coming to that spawn, or if I sink a ship (very rare for me lol). I'll give a report if i see something and someone needs to know. But, I almost never tell when I am in a goon, except in the above mentioned low number capture attempt. What if I dont make it? The other guy who was gonna grab troops didn't and now there will be no capture. I generally run a goon as back up anyway, and try indirect routes which take longer and provide no fighter support, so saying I have the goon for XX base is pointless.
I will say that its pretty rare for a CV to be sunk and it not be announced to the country, but sometimes people forget, or get busy fighting off the enemy. Dantoo is a good guy, he probably had other things on his mind. One player jumping another over something like this will almost never result in good feelings. I know if it was me, I'd not take kindly to it.
