Title: Ever gotten help you didnt expect?
Post by: Atoon on February 20, 2007, 08:08:37 PM
Once upon a time (starting it like this means it could be ficticious), I had assisted in foiling a base capture and in the process had won the CH200 affections of a moderately skilled player. A brief battle of wits insued & I felt I had won there also.

My new found admirer was of the persistant persuasion though, he continued to rant and rave about my just being lucky in killing him and a couple of his fellow attackers. I wanted to know myself If I was indeed just "lucky" so, I promptly asked where his next sortie was going to be, as his attack had lost momentum & it was unlikely he would return there. He refused to disclose his location or next attack point, which didnt really surprise me.

I had given up on actually finding him when I got a PM, I noticed the bright text as it appeared on screen but was surprised when I focused on the text. It wasn't from the player I had been talking with on 200,  It was from a coutryman of his, that didnt like his attitude or personality.  This 3rd party gave me the necessary info to find my admirer & I killed the guy in all 3 of his next sorties, and also several of his wingmen.  It was one of the best flights I ever had.

I dont recall any of the names involved, maybe it was just a great dream:aok

I've spied on plenty of sweetheartbags. If you need to find someone, just send me a PM. Sometimes, headhunting is fun. ;)

I shot down oDOLTASo :D  & one of his homies in a 2v1 the other night. After that the pm's & vox lit up with all kinds of insults & jibes. Called me a newb & said why don't I fly a real plane blah blah blah......

Reminds me of the time Nomde came back from his long absence.   Upon log in, we were winging and Pistol kept flapping his gums on 200 after HO'ing continuously.   His countrymates were getting hung out to dry because he'd run.   Well, it wasn't long before a countrymate of his was PM'ing me, Nomde and I were right there everytime he moved.  :rofl

Ever gotten help you didnt expect?

I have had people offer yes, a squadie who was playing different country said, hey, u guys want to know this or that?

Also this player flying in my mission, who had a squady on different country said, if you want to know this or that.

Then once a countryman said on local vox 'We've just intercepted a bish radio transmission and they are going to attack such n such" (which is a cutsie way of saying we are cheating and making it sound historicly accurate)

It is a personal decision on how you want to handle that information, it's nothing new to the game.  It really doesn't make you anything special to cheat either IMO.  

Personally I won't do it, participate with it, or tolerate it in my squad.   They can go fly for another squad that goes for that, there are plenty of them....I take it Nazgul is recruiting guys like that?

I think in the long run you will find the game more enjoyable if you just play is straight.

Hunting is an artform, one that takes skill and dedication.





basically, what youre saying is you would get satisfaction from shooting a Lion that has been released in the area just hours before for you, the rich white man, to shoot and feel like a hunter.

 you're telling me that you get satisfaction from fishing in a lake that has been stocked with prime carp, all gormless and eager to eat your bait?



personally i would be hunting that lion with a partner and tracking him, out smarting him, not having him chained to a post and told exactly where he is.


i would be fishing in the open sea or a natural lake, where the prey is wary of the bait and it would be  'a hunt' as opposed to a boring turkey shoot.


you want to shoot smeone down bad enough? then you bloody well should earn it.


what satisfaction could you get from killing an enemy that is already at a loss due to the work of his team mates?


do you really feel you earned that kill?



nothing personal.

1) If you go around being an arse, someon will feel the need to wipe you, one way or another.

2) Cheating? Perhaps if my intent was to progress my sides warring effort, but I was simply interested in proving I wasnt just "lucky" to 1 particular individual.  So no I dont see it as cheating.

3) I'll help locate someone talking watermelon on 200 & hiding from the fight....  "If you gonna talk the talk- you gonna walk the walk"

4) I also frown on hiding CVs;)

Batfink your references to lion hunting would be more accurate if you were hunting a lion that was armed & claimed to know how to shoot his weapon, but was hiding from a shooting match with you.

Being fairly new to the game and short fused with people who are rude, I think this person got what he/she deserved.

Cheaters, spys and jerks should be ratted out by there fellow team mates IMHO.  

I find it funny that via the internet/this game/this forum someone would say something to someone they wouldn't say to their face.  When this is the case I too would accept assistance in this form to abuse someone who deserves it.

Yes, hunting them down is nice, maybe even better, but just proving ones point is good enough.This is the very reason I don't tune to 200.

I play the game straight, avoid HO's and give check 6's when I am not too busy running like a chicken.

That's the way I spend my $15, you spend it the way you want to.

oDall--o has got to be the biggest arsewhipe in the game.  I wish he would find another plane to run in, so as not to give a bad name to the rest of us fighting Dora pilots.

One time he augered into my panzer and sends me a PM, "Learn how to fly noob."

One more time,  He Augered into my Panzer and....  Well I'm sure everyone has seen his antics in action.  Worst part is he is horrible in the air. You think someone who enjoys smack talking so much would at least try to improve his game play.

Ok I feel better now.  Don't usually post like this, could be the speeding ticket I got this AM.  Carry on.

Yeah, except the lion is another hunter, and he, by his own admission, is better, smarter, more skilled, and far more dangerous, even though he continues to either sit in the tower or keep running away. Actually, the lion analogy doesn't work at all.
Title: Ever gotten help you didnt expect?
Post by: DREDger on February 21, 2007, 09:12:24 AM
I wasnt just "lucky" to 1 particular individual. So no I dont see it as cheating.

Having a hard time following this logic here.  Seems to me you've already made up your mind how you feel about it, and put this post up to see what others think (while maintaining some deniability by keeping it 'ficticious', so obviously you are not quite sure if it is ethically ok)

So you proved you weren't 'lucky' to an individual?  What exactly did you prove then....that you had someone tell you where they were so you could be there with an advantage over them?  Did this individual know you were coming, and at what alt and type of plane?

Batfink adds a good deal of poetic licesnse but I think the point is made, regarding lions and fishing and whatnot...don't get tied up in the 'if the lion could shoot back AND said stuff on private text, then it's ok type thing"

No-one can stop you from doing this, people who are determmined to do this will always have a way, ie cell phones, private texts, squads on different countries.

If you feel you must, then do it, but don't bring it to the message  boards looking for justification with some half-prettythanged maybe it happend maybe it didn't....mkay


oDall--o has got to be the biggest arsewhipe in the game.

You know, this guy has private texted me as well kindof along the same lines, certainly wasn't cordial.  Not sure what his problem is.  Even as much as guy like that probably deserves being 'griefed' (and there is no shortage of arses in this game), I'm still not going to play it like that (as indicated in this post).

LOL Dredger-

I told a funny lil story, I'm not looking for any justification. If I was, these BBS would be the LAST place I'd look.

Perhaps you think that calling me a cheat will help to remove some of the pressure you placed on yerself with the numerous TT threads, If it does, I'm glad to be of help, unexpected help even.

Unexpected help can come in many ways, Ive been fighting over a knit base & had a knit on my 6 with another con closing. Surprised to realize the other con closing was a bish & took out the knit & didnt attack me. Its a huge game, lots of variables.

you're trying to tell me a lion cannot kill a hunter if the hunter screws up??


hmmm, rather be shot, or ripped to shreds by a big puddy tat....?



you hunting for sharks, using a harpoon and a scuba set......does the shark need a harpoon also to be a threat to you?>



dont matter anyhow, as i said, nothing personal, just my own opinion of what makes me feel good and what would make it less sweet a victory.

i got a lot of respect for you Anton, from way back when.

you still flying the yak so well as i remember?





pretty pointless of me to take this line infact, im not sure what prompted me, dont mean to ruin the fun, by all means carry on

Jeez...get over yourself.  Dweeb Hunts are nothing new to the world of flight sims and all Anton did was partake in said Dweeb Hunt.  It's a fact of life, where ever there are dweebs there shall be us to hunt you down.  

Having someone on the other side tell you the location of the Dweeb, no big deal.  It just helps narrow down the hunt.

No disrespect but bad argument BatfinkV.  Just because he knew where the "dweeb" was, doesn't mean the "dweeb" didn't have the resources to fight back, just the same as if he had run into any other opponent.

Your argument would be more analagous to one guy being alone between three enemy airfields with 3-4 guys upping from each to go after him.  That would be being "penned in" and not much of a fair fight.

If, in this case, the fight is one on one the "dweeb" is at no loss or disadvantage other than the fact he thought he could spout off on 200 and get away with it without having to prove his mettle.

I'd say he got what he deserved if he embarrassed his own countryman enough to prompt his location be given to the enemy.

Are we to assume that the BLIND BATS capture TT bases for no reason other than to piss the other two countries off?   Why is everything with you "your way or the highway".  Look into every post you've posted regarding TT.   You have no plausible response, and you have posted "whiner" when "someone dares to butt heads with you".    Use the Search on this BBS (I haven't but again, I file things away) and see for yourself, because your memory is obviously short.

FWIW, Nazgul has been around long enough that folks who have played this game even longer than myself, simply LAUGH at your "implication".

Bottom line, I've NEVER said anything bad about "your squad".    Why is everything "personal to you"?   Do you really take everything so fricking personal?    You are truly dilusional.   Conversation finished.   I hope the rest of the commounity laughs at your feeble "cheapshots".

Whenever I see oDALLASo and any of his squadron mates on, I will go to the area they're in if they are fighting Knights and hunt them down.  Never seen a squadron full of timid pilots and they are fun to chase down and kill.  The PMs are the dessert.

Help sometimes is nice.

oDALLASo and about 12 others were attacking a port last week sometime and just me and a squaddie and one other knight were there. They had a CV right by it. So , We have some alt and begin trying to pick em off as the come in dodging the puffy ack as best we can.

I dive on an F6F and he is toast....Immediatley the VOX goes nuts with oDALLASo talking smack about how I am in a sissy plane....stating something to the effect of you suk and oh yeah we will be taking this port..and thanks for playing. Then he was gone.

Heak they had like 12-15 guys there agaisnt 3....LOL

I've gotten PM'ed by him with his typical crap after shppting him down.

He is a bit different to say the least.

Honestly, i hope you people keep telling each other who to kill.
Its only a matter of time before these "informants" are actualy people trying to lure YOU into a none winable battle far far away from your friends.

not every bit of information is ment to help you, disinformation or a setup can be just as devistating.
"Think of what the germans thought vs. what the allies had planed"
and guess what, that was all done by people working for someone else.
so the next time someones gives you friendly intell from a enemy source,you had better watch your back.

Cause sooner or later karma's gonna GET'CHA!

And to you who feal for whatever reason calling out your teammates for the slaughter is some how right, it is not.
Justify whatever you want whenever you want,it still does not make it right.

Somethin' to chew on for a lil' while.

do i understand this correctly, eventually someone will give these guys faulty intel, and then they will get shot down by a horde or something?  and then they learn their lesson?  is this still a game?

Karma won't get me.   Sorry, but the people I "inform", know I won't lie to them.    You're paranoid, most of us aren't.    I hate liars in RL, and it spills over to AH.  

Only thing to chew on is myself and other's wouldn't be doing this if TT could be left alone.   It has NO BEARING on "winning t3h war".

Funny you mention a certain someone ...

Not to beat a dead horse (again)...

but that kind of behaviour is yet another fine example in the ever-growing list of why I think allowing players to PM (or as tonight in the case of the certain someone mentioned ) VOX insults to an opposing player when they are shot down simply because they've been shot down is one of the very most craptastic if not the very very most craptastic thing about AH.

And not one of the brightest things I've seen developers allow (although certainly far and away not the dumbest, either).

not every bit of information is ment to help you, disinformation or a setup can be just as devistating.
"Think of what the germans thought vs. what the allies had planed"
and guess what, that was all done by people working for someone else.
so the next time someones gives you friendly intell from a enemy source,you had better watch your back.

Cause sooner or later karma's gonna GET'CHA!

And to you who feal for whatever reason calling out your teammates for the slaughter is some how right, it is not.
Justify whatever you want whenever you want,it still does not make it right.

Somethin' to chew on for a lil' while.


I think I would just up another cartoon airplane & just keep on playing as if nothing happened cuz............nothing did.:)

dont matter anyhow, as i said, nothing personal, just my own opinion of what makes me feel good and what would make it less sweet a victory.

i got a lot of respect for you Anton, from way back when.

you still flying the yak so well as i remember?





pretty pointless of me to take this line infact, im not sure what prompted me, dont mean to ruin the fun, by all means carry on

I recommend some of the people in this thread get a life, and a couple of chill pills to go with it.... and maybe also a couple of drinks.

How do you turn the 200 ch off and keep it off, i have had it off(i think by accident) after taking "all" off of all ch's, but sometimes it comes up anyway, I hate 200 ch i really don't care what people complain about after getting killed.
 It's not bad enough they get killed but then they have to let the everyone in the game know about it, and be a bad sport about it.

no offence.. but usually i just read the first line and skip it, it makes the whole post seem a lot longer than it actually is.  (not saying it is just you who i do it to, i tend to be like that with any long post!)

Not having a go, says more about me than it does you.

No, the topic was about being given info on mouthy tards and shutting them down.
Mouthing off on 200 or here,  it makes little difference.
Ohh and for the record YOU started the pissn contest here.

If a guys teammates are ratting him out there's probably a reason.

From the 'ficticious' story, I'm sure we can all figure out what it is.

He choses his plane, you chose yours.  Sounds fair to me.  Even moreso if he's running with a crew.

I took the 'ficticious' label as the intent to not name names.  That sounds honorable to me.

i just got an overactive return key little finger on my right hand, it can never just hit it once, the longer i have to think about the next sentace the more likely that damn finger is to get bored and hit it a few times.

Doesnt matter. What does matter is what you do with that info. Personally I'd ignore it. But to each his own.

Sorry, don't do the bar scene.   The day I get "worked up over this GAME" is the day I delete my account without a "poor me" thread.    I plan on being around a while.

OMG did you see all the baby seals on the beach tonite??  landed a 7kill yak mission HOWL!


I didnt want to have the original post be to long winded so I kept it brief, but I wanted to point out that the fights I had with the guy and his friends were not easy fights. I wasnt able to RTB because they wouldnt let me, there was 2-3 of them & I just couldnt get a clean brake. I was finally able to get far enough away for a clean ditch as I ran outta fuel. Good Times:aok

landed a 7kill yak mission

Congrats, that isn't easy to do with only 120 cannon rounds from 1 gun.  I'm a yak fan myself, 7 is about my record.

As far as your fight is concerned, I guess it seems fair enough if that is what you are trying to convey.  Still seems a tad underhanded to me though...did you have an alt advantage when you came across them?  Having known where and when they were leaving from...or did you head towards them at medium alt?:noid  (once upon a time of course)

Bat, in such cases, speaking only for myself, the enjoyment is not some sort of satisfaction of having bettered the other guy in a fight. I reserve that for players I respect.

It is the pure joy of knowing how upset the guy is...I can often picture them frothing at the mouth and spewing obscenities while pounding on their desks...THAT is the source of satisfaction when the person in question is one of these obnoxious jerks who talk tons of smack but can't back it up.

3) I'll help locate someone talking watermelon on 200 & hiding from the fight....  "If you gonna talk the talk- you gonna walk the walk"

4) I also frown on hiding CVs;)


Cheating?  Heck no, I call it justified retribution!  Take some of the wind out of the trash talkers.

I definately had advantage the first time I found him, and he was in a loaded Jabo. After that It was an La7 pretty much co-alt, the 3rd was a spitfire I think. I think it was such a great flight because I schoooled the mouthy lil punk, and won some tough fights doing it.

Dredger, from your posts it seems you think this happens regularly, as if it was somthing I do frequently. This simply is not the case. Just an Isolated, perhaps fabricated, situation that made for a nice lil story.

As a bonus, I think the story may enlighten some people as to possible reprocussions for repeatedly causing grief to players or to the game. "If you go around being an arse, eventually someone will need to wipe you off" This is true in RL also.

Don't take offense Bat, I'm agreeing with you in part here. If there's some guy out there that has been pwning you and you want to hunt him for revenge via...ummm..."intelligence" from another country then I think that's pretty lame.

But in many cases where the hunted party is just one of the a-holes running around running their mouths...then this is simply them reaping what they've sown.
