I decided to make public about this because, in hopes that people will understand reason for why I did this, despite I will probably become less liked in the game, or perhaps respected for doing this. Either way, I am willing to deal with it. I’m sure everyone who isn’t on the knights is wondering what is going on but I will get to that in second. I wanted to apologize to all the knights who I distracted, both who and who did not end up squelching me.
Yesterday in the Blue Arena. The Bishops and Knights were having very one sided GV battle at A1-A63. We (Knights) had about 8-12 guys camping at the spawn so it wasn’t really much of battle. After awhile, the Bish got wise and didn’t up. I suggested at that time we should try to take A63, in turn to help us take A5. I went there and made few pork runs before I logged out for hour or so, and then returned. I won’t name the two subjects (Sub1 and Sub2) but this is when it got ugly. I was fighting at A5 trying to take the base for several sorties when A63 fell. Sub1 was obviously pissed about it and he was verbally attacking several players via country chat for about 30 minutes after the base fell. I wasn’t really paying attention to him (I should have squelched him but didn’t due to too busy fighting) until he kept saying ‘retards’ several times over. I then decided to report him to HTC. The reason why I did this, is because little over two weeks ago (the 26th), my 15 year old cousin, who was mentally handicapped, passed away. Needless to say I was offended by what he said…I don’t know why I said this but I did anyway, I admitted on country chat that I did in fact report him because of a good reason. I probably shouldn’t have done that or said anything because when I did, here comes Sub2 who must have logged in shortly before because he straight out called me an snitch; I don’t mind people being blunt, however, getting facts straight before interfering is always helpful. I end up squelching him but I feel the damage as been done. I don’t know how many knights no longer care for me, however, my apologizes have been posted.

First thing you have to remember is this is a game and none of it matters!!!
Ok, you reported someone for name calling and being disruptive, I think that is why the "report" feature is there. If the rest of your "country" has a problem with it tough ! switch countries you don't need to fly with that bunch of losers any way. There is always a better class of loser on a different team.
Don't take things so personally, its done, you reported him, its over. It no longer up to you to worry about it, its up to HTC.

Rogent I have always found you to be a fair and decent person and I did see some of the exchange , you are not a snitch at all but an adult as well as good gamer , I would not have cared for this exchange of words either and probably done the same . Rest easy brother its all good and at least you admit what you have done , which is setting a fine exhample for all of us . Foul language is where we all slip from time to time , I am guilty alot myself , but its done , and good luck to you .:aok
As always a Nutte

I don't know you, but I like ya for the stance you took and telling him what you did.
There are way too many people who throw around the moniker "retard" without regard for what it really stands for and how it might effect other people.
There are plenty of other derogatory terms that could be used by the mindless fools on 200 other than "retard".

rogent u arnt the only one who reported him. He was out of line and clearly pissed because he was one of those camping the spawn into a1.

If it was upsetting to you and you are offended, in my mind you are within your rights to speak up to HTC. You dont pay $15 to be hear things like that. But be mindfull that you have different personalities and age brackets that you play with in here. You are going to get more of this in the future.
I dont believe that is a good idea to post this here for all to see. Airing things like this will only fuel the fire which will come after this. You should report it and walk.
As my squad member was there and witnessed it. He is very a good source. If he said you were right then there something to it. Thanks for keeping the faith and see you in the Arenas.

.report BiPoLaR2!
-
you did totally the right thing rogent, ignore the crying dweeb. bit pathetic to whine at your countrymates for losing a base, especially when you do it for so long swearing constantly.
AH would be far better if this idiot and his buddy weren't around, tand there were more guys like you, good on ya mate!
-
Caught the end of the argument RoGent. I think you did the right thing

Someone's camping party got crashed. :cry
The behavior and tantrums thrown by some individuals on 200 is ridiculous in my mind and was well within your rights to report.
Spazz

Rogent, your a good guy and alright by me mate.....:aok

Screw them both bro! Someone has to tell these take-everything-a-little too-serious folks that enough is enough. If you don't have something entertaining or worthwhile to share, put a cork in that useless piehole.

IMO if someone is acting like a dolt and you report them, no need to apologize for it. Getting many people to gang up and .report is abuse of the function though.
I .report quite often and have sent film in that resulted in a player loosing vox privledges. They thought it was some consiracy against them and posted his theory of why he was silent. Gave me a good chuckle.
Squelch doesnt always work and passively gives the dolts the false idea they are doing acceptable stuff, which in most cases they arent.

you suck in my book
LMFAO just kidding bro you did the right thing

I'm going to semi-disagree with you on this.
Getting a group to "gang report" someone for no reason other than "hey, soandso shot me down!" is an abuse.
Reminding other players on open channel that there is a .report function while someone is being genuinely doltish is a public service.
Not quite sure if that is what you meant, but I offer it up anyway.

I agree. Thanks for the fication from Clara.

I .report people all the time. :D In fact I would say that if I spend more than 30 minutes online I do a .report for vox or chat more often than not. And if it is real bad I will call HTC in a heart beat. :cool:
I am a knight and I still like you Rogent. :)

As poorly qualified as I am to drive off and disperse the indecent vendorsof Dadaism who break down the industrial-technological system of
simulated flight we love, I hope you will bear with me while I begin this sincere and earnest attempt. And please don't get mad with me if, in doing so, I must call a spade a spade. To begin at the beginning, the Knights demand absolute and blind obedience from its factotums. If they didn't,
they might question its orders to replace the search for truth with a situationist relativism based on vile, mean-spirited Maoism. This unrelenting demand of obedience also implies that as damnable as it might sound, one positive outcome of the Law of Unintended Consequences is that if we embrace the cause of self-determination and recognize the leading role and clearer understanding of those people for whom the quintessential struggle is an encompassing liberation movement against the totality of statism then the Knights won't be able to pit people against each other. This is not what I think; this is what I know. I additionally know that Knights intends to create a new social class of pilot. Subversive sots, mentally deficient, testy rotters, and thrasonical, merciless hell-raisers will be given aristocratic status. The rest of us will be forced into serving as their admirers as they bomb our hangars.
The Rooks are an overall free country, and I allege we ought to keep it that way. Here's an idea: Instead of giving the Knights the ability to destroy our pilots ability to relax, reflect, fly, and land, why don't we counteract the subtle, but pervasive, social message that says that challenging all I stand for is essential for the safety and welfare of the community, forum or otherwise? If we do, we'll then be able to tell it how wrong it is. For the record, I believe I have found my calling. My calling is to free people from the spell of despotism that the Knights have cast over them. And just let them try and stop me. Did it ever occur to the Knights that maybe spies who have spent many years attempting to penetrate the dark recesses of its closed-minded underworld frequently conclude that it is so confident in its own intellectual and cultural paradigm that it is blind to AHII realities?
Dream on.

It's good to be ROOK :D

Rogent your a good p51 stick! Try not to get caught up with the battles for bases. Yes they can be fun but who cares really. What matters is perfecting your 51 skills so that you can land more kills than me in it ;)
You did right to tell him what you thought then squelch!

you have got to land more then me in it before you can say that biggles:D

Rogent, first off, if it bothers you, by all means report it. THAT IS WHAT THE REPORT FUNCTION IS FOR!
Second, if you do push that button, MUM's the word. Say NOTHING.
Anything you say after pushing the report button just makes you a target.
So why would you do that?
If enough people have a problem with someone in a short enough period of time, he will get spanked. The community works, period. But it works best if you don't say anything.
Abusing the report function can rebound on you if HTC decides a squadron or group of players unfairly ganged someone with the report. So use it but DON"T ABUSE IT!

S!
sorry bout ur cousin rogent
u did good
S!

While I did not witness the "incident", I've always found you to be a pretty good natured opponent. Don't worry about the small but vocal minority and enjoy the game - and if the Knits throw you out you're always welcome over here on the Bish side. ;)

there are folks who speak before they think on all sides of the game just report and squelch ,,,, that's what its for
try not to be so thin skinned my sister has downs and i have learned that some people are really just ignorant , and you cant "beat up" everyone who says something you don't like , on the other hand , you don't have to listen to it either

I think I agree with what you said. I got a headache about the second paragraph. Must be my inability to relate to more intelligent beings. Therefore I have resulted in the mediocre(sp) life of AH. Since you also play at the same level as most of the dweebs (including me) in here means that you have sunk to our level. Welcome to the Jungle my friend. You are a fine and gentle human and we will always be greatful...
A GENTLE GIANT in body and mind
