This is sad to report, and I've heard from a few other people that this sort of thing happens all to often.
I've flown will all the sides in the year I've been flying Aces High. I've flown with some great Bishop, Rook and Knight players. Its always nice to get some "Hey Welcome back!" messages whenever you opt to fly with some old friends again.
Over the past few months, I've flown Knights and joined a Squad that is soley Knights (332nd). Great bunch of guys. No complaints there.
A few weeks ago, my old boss emailed me, suprised to see my posts on the BBS and suggested we fly together sometime. Sure! Sounds great...he is flying Bish and some of the guys he told me about sound really fun to fly with. So I forewarned my Squaddies that, for a night, I was going to fly with my friend (Hening). Everyone was tongue-in-check about it, saying they'd love to give me the chute time and look forward to my return.
Sounds great, right?
Well, you old farts know better.
I'd like to introduce you into the 2 most vile players I have ever had to fly with, much less squelch. Sac1 and Kak3 have made this such a personal attack that its truly pathetic. Good God, you think I'd sold their parents into slavery or something. At any rate, the banter over the chat buffer has been pretty nasty and its resulted in less play time for me lately. These two morons accuse me of changing sides solely for perk points (I wasnt even one when the resets happened) and in their eyes, Im just a traitor to them. Guys, you two need to get a life and realize that the people playing online are fellow paying customers. Just because we do not march to your orders does not mean we are expected to and deserve your little tizzie fits online.
I can truly understand why some people squelch channel 2 now. Luckily, I do think there are more good people out there than jerks, but sadly the amazinhunks are the loudest of the population it seems.

Personal is what you get with an online Sim. Otherwise you might as well stick to offline.
Thats the good and bad of it, luckily HT has given us tools to squelch these people, just use them and leave it at that.
I've seen sac1 & kak3 around, and let me tell you some of us out there are a lot worse!
-
I have squelched both of these individuals. Its too bad to have to do that, but that's the nature of the online entertainment and no real moderation going on.
Just as I was signing out, 2 guys were arguing about who crossed whose line for fire for a kill. <sigh> Its all pretty silly...I guess when I go to the Con, Ill bring my Nerf toys and be preapred to defend myself (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

And not only mean-spirited and rude; it seems like your pals Kak and Sac are pretty immature too. Kak is an Afrikaans word that translates as "Scheisst" (Or is it "Scheiss?" Close enough, I imagine). As for Sac... well, need I say more? (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif)

The fact that people are taking this so personal is a fact of virtual life in these games. A lot of real-life emotions and viscera come to the fore - even more so in a prolonged mission-based scenario. People get along amazingly well at Con's, though - its just in the game itself that their Dark Sides come out. The worst I've ever seen happen is that some people just avoid each other.
Look at it this way: it's their own insecurity that's making them act that way. If they weren't so worried about their own ability to "win," why would they care where you flew? (... wow ... how totally, like, Zen, dude ...)

Agreed Lepaul, poeple like that need to get a life & remember that there's something out there not related to knits, bish or crooks...
(Hey, I had a wonderfull time during the 2 weeks I spent with the Bishes, having been Knit for about 14 months before that I never had a chance to fly with some fine poeple out there, friendship in here for me, has no "country line".)
fortunately, those who are usualy yelling I do not care about. And the others are usualy just taking the p*ss (like that Kid Mathman) (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)

I'm not at all surprised people get along amazingly well at the con, the possibility of immediate and painful retributuion for one's verbal assault of another gives pause to those who consistently display this demeanor online.

That was YOU ! hehe ! I salute you Nexx you're a class act ...better watch my six twice as much with you under a red icon !!
I know some people frown upon rotating squads,but it's great to fly with different guys and lock horns with former wingmen !
<S> Nexx ,Yancyan,GTR and the rest of u Bishes ...see you in a couple of tours ...until then your icons are red to me so I will hunt your sorry tulips hehehe !!

Not defending Sac1 or anything, that's between you and he, however, I met Sac1 at the con, he's a 50 something retired engineer (he had the 'pod' you see in the pics of the con) and a helluva nice guy. He's humorous and I wonder how much of what was said was meant to be humorous?
Either way, I don't think he surfs the boards alot.
-
the less action the more animosity. When someone fly's around for a long time doing nothing they are more easily pissed at every unfairness, real or imagined, that kills em. It causes people to "play safe" which in turn causes less action and more animosity. Soon... everyone is going with the safety of large numbers and the gangbanging causes even more animostity. The busier people are and the more fun they are having the less animosity and the less gangbanging.

Rip:
Concerning Sac1...I dont care if he's humorous or how old he is, he needs to act his age. The spurious comments he was spewwing was just above and beyond what one should have to tolerate. I'm a pretty mellow guy and my good sense of humor was pretty taxed dealing with him.
Nuff said, make me a mission, Ill drive the goon (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

Lepaul, if you notice JV44 is down to 3 members now. As far as sac1 is concerned we had our run ins with him the other night. And grew very angry at this individual. We are trying to take a base he is sitting at end of runway in a M3 vulching. bradys M3 one of the troops gets killed, and he is screaming for one of the other 2 M3's to get to the map room, instead they sit there waiting for spawns fighters to get "guess what, yup you got it perk points". Salute m8, least ya know we won't call ya anything, well nothing to bad (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/tongue.gif)

He who argues with a fool is twice a fool, LePaul.
You do not have to justify what you are doing to anyone. It's your time and money.
If accused, do not deny anything. In fact, agree to what they are saying and ask "what are you going to do about it"? Then tell them to get lost and squelch them.
If someone has to log-off in disgust, why should it be you?
Of course I am talking about jerks. The decent guys usually can make you see, if not agree with, their point and respect your choices.

Ain't that simple, Lazs. I can't tell you how many times I have had people accost me out of the clear blue for no particular reason. I can be having the time of my life 'til that moment, so frustration has nothing to do with it- at least not on my end.
-
Ripsnort is right. Sac1 is one hell of a nice guy. HT put in the squelch function for a reason. If you have a problem with someone use it. To come on the bbs and voice opinions about problems with players in general is one thing, to make it a personal attack by naming them directly is quite another.
-
as others have noted, i feel that is much easier to act all solid when online. I dont think that many of the people who get all pissy (including myself) would be the kind of person to sweep the chess board off the table and shout "queen killing dweeb!" in real life.
the anonomous nature of the MA lends itself well to tirades and petty arguments.
I myself have had it out with sac1 before. I cant remember why. Im sure he cant either. A week later we were chatting it up on the open channel like old friends. Point is just ignore a person, he might be your wing mate someday (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
-
kieran.. there are of course exceptions. some people will allways make excuses or get angry but... as a general rule animosity goes up when the action goes down in the main arena. The "safer" people play the more animosity. The safer people play the more gangbanging. the more there is at stake when you die the more animosity.

It was so nice to accuse me of saying you jump sides for perk points. I never knew you played on another side. I don't mind what you say about me as I have spent enough time in the military defending your right to do so, but please at least let it be the truth. You're a good bomber pilot and I enjoyed missions we had in the past. If you want to squelch me that is your right. If I recall this all started because you had 3 cons on your six and you got pissed because I didn't come to help you. Not sure how I was suppose to because I have only been able to get my ost to fly once, and that was doing 70 mph down hill at fld 44.
When I play this game I give it my best like anything I do. It might not be as good as others but it will be my best.
Now I do hope when you go to the con you set up at the end of the table so I can set my sim up next to you.

Yea, you do need to say more. I have to wonder if you believe everything out of Clinton's mouth. What I mean is that most every claim made in these chats is one persons side yet we jump on it like it is Gospel, the truth. Remember there is two sides to every story, my side, and the wrong side. I'm kidding. When we get pisssed in this game we are each sure it happened just the way we see it.

Wow vulching in an M3, now you have to be kidding. Now I have fired an m3 after dropping my troops of and for one reason or another not all 10 made it in. I have also sat at the EOR shooting planes in an ost because it was my only defense I had. It was my job at the time to keep the fighters down to allow the troops to ge in.It has never been for perk points. First off, I have never used a perk plane. There is only one thing I try to do when I play AH, get flds for knights. No one likes to get to a fld to find hangers down and acks up it's frustrating, yet we each have reached the point where we get a bit angry. By the way, how many kills did I have with the m3?

I wasn't complaining about the 3 guys on my six, i think I made my point pretty clear. You went on and on about how I was trading sides for perkies and went on and on to call me a traitor, blah blah blah....essentially, it ust went too far for good taste. I dunno if you were having a bad day or what but it just got way out of hand.
Now I do hope when you go to the con you set up at the end of the table so I can set my sim up next to you. [/b]
Sure, but only if I can have my GIANT NERF MALLOT just in case you act up again (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

Ah, my fine feathered friend from north of the new hampshire boarder......
Seriously I had no idea you flew for someone else, but I think I know why you mentioned perk points. If I recall I de-acked the fld and came back in a GV. You had just arrived and took down the hangers and we were ready to own the base. As troops were being delivered fighters were taking out things that did not need to be taken out because it hampered us staying on the offense, such as ammo, brks,fuel, etc. At that point I was a little pissed because both you and I enjoy hitting fast and to keep the offense going. I did mention something about IDIOTS straffing the fld and hitting things that did not need to be hit and said they must need the perk points. You hit a target that had to be hit and I had no beef with that which i tried to explain to you. If I also remember, didn't you try to launch there only to find out there was no ordenance and you got even more pissed. I wish I could say these were newbies that didn't know the difference but they were not, but we each play the game differently and use different tactics. I will admit I do get a little pissed when we trash a fld making it useless to continue with our offense.
As for the NERF Mallot, that's fine as long as I can bring my 16oz ballpen hammer.
Lets close this before others think we are having a lovers spat............

LOL
Your memory is improving. Let me elaborate...you barked at me for dropping bombs on those things, which I had not. I was in a Lancaster, had 14 bombs and downed the FH & VH while you guys were getting the goon squad in. That left me with 8 bombs left and I orbited overhead as standby if you needed more stuff dropped. Someone else starting strafing/bombing the hell outta the ammo, fuel and other perkied items. You started in on me for doing it, when I did not. I tried to tell you that, but up Tangent Avenue you went (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)
Anyways, I think you see my point.

Sirs..(used loosely)
I got on line tonight and was told womeone was badmouthing me behind my back in bb.. It took me3 topics to find the one .This didnt suprise me one bit when I found out who was talking behind my back. This individual showed his class when he joined bishops the other night only to join in on the gang to reset the Knights. I have never been one to gng one country till they have less than 3 bases to use, that is just my own philosophy. I have a higher stanadard of sport and gamemanship I guess, but I just happen to believe it should be fun for everyone, and when a country gets down to 3 bases that are all porked and vulched, It doenst seem fun anymore. This backstaber coulda easily joined his friends and flown agianst an even numbered/ matched foe, rather than circle a vulched field and hope to beat his friends for a kill. I have no problem with vulchinga field for capture porpuse, but when a country is ganged down to 3 or less bases, than there is no more sport in the game. that is why i feel getting perkl point for a reset is a bad idea, it doesnt promote sportmanship.
Talking behind my back is one thing, but bringing my parents into the discussion is a greeat example of a coward. I'm sorrty your feelings were hurt when i called you a ganger, non-sport... the truth hurts...

I saw another with the handle DaK, so I was guilty of copying , if anything I guess, and how can I squelch channel 2?

Uh...what?
You got all that from a link to virus info? KaK IS a virus. A friend had it and it got to half a dozen machines before we stopped it. Not malicious but very annoying. And a SAC utility is used to remove files infected by the One-half virus. A very damaging and difficult one. That's what the link is for.
Racist? Pretty heavy word to throw around for someone you've never met. I'm quite sure we've never met, in the MA or otherwise. Don't think we've ever had words, good or bad except for a Hi or cya when logging on or off the game. Now I'm racist? You've got to be kidding.

Yup, see I play late hours thinking the punky little kids (like Kak3) have gone to bed.
Kak, you've made a petty little bellybutton out of yourself and since you are doing such a good job showing the rest of us what a jerk you are, I wont compete with you. You're a pathetic little man.

It's a FUGGIN' GAME people, now keep both hands where I can see them and step away from the keyboard.
Seriously folks, All of us (yes me too, sorry paintmaw, didn't know I was gonna scar ya for life) need to bear in mind that this ain't real, it's a mere game, a leisure pursuit, And one that, IMHO, does not require the trashtalk imparted by sports to be fun, I for one will never consider another player to be better in real life at anything simply because of their performance in pixel manipulation version aces high, It don't translate to reality. We're good guys, we're bad guys, we're all dweebs, we all suck,(your mileage may vary) but we all do this to have fun, I personally hate Chogs and will needle the guy who shoots me down with one, same for niki's, but in truth, I'm just picking at 'em, I screwed up and they got a kill, fact. I've blown some of the best guys running outta the sky, and had the rankest newbie nail me, refresh your memory, most likely so have you.
Concessions to gameplay are not worth the effort to complain about, rather if you have a better mousetrap, show it. As for the touchstone of this little spat, I don't change countries, Loyalty? honor? roadkill, I'm lazy. I don't care about that crap, I fly, die,protect the green ones, shoot the red ones, and log out if I'm getting pissed off, 'cuz I don't pay anyone to get pissed off (Got married for that, it's free, and yes that's a joke)
Relax, shoot the red guys, and keep the shiny side up (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)

Not that it matters, and Skurj I know we all lose our memory sometimes (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif) And thanks for helping out at base defense last night. sac what I am referring to, is when brady was yelling I believe 5 times to get troops to the map room. He was the first one there but lost a couple to strafing, yet there were 2 M3's sitting where? Yes on the runway by where? You got it right at the spawn points. I don't know how many kills you got if you got any, the point was to get the troops there. I don't care if you vulch all day, but when we set the tone for the attack, and ask for help we expect others to help out as well. I did notice your text buffer, you didn't say anything after you stated well I didn't see the text buffer asking for M3. We all know base capturing sometimes if not always can be a stroke of luck, when you have few numbers for doing it. Which is why we are so animate when it comes to this. You will always see us defending bases as well. KaK3 was in JV44 but asked to leave, he left under no scrutiny and no hard feelings from either side. We all lose our cools in this game, and with this quake arena I assume it will only get worse, at least the center island is made for the furballers or perk seakers. No hard feelings towards ya sac1, we all have bad days, and we are all grown up enough to know that watermelon happens. Just remember this, its a game and I know we say things we don't mean. No ones perfect, cept me of course (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/tongue.gif)

Hey Kaka...get a grip. If you want to cry about LePaul flying Bish one night it was because I asked him to for so long that he finally gave in. No one sat around figuring a grand scheme of when to switch sides or anything else. Sad to see that your mind works that way. LePaul I would ignore these bozos and join the grown-up Bish guys.

Errrm Sturm, this m3 vulching thing.. has it happened to yourself and Brady several times?
I happened to be present at one such occurence a few days ago, and Sac1 wasn't in the area... was myself, another(name withheld to protect innocent), yourself in flight vulching, and Brady's who was actually in a goon, and lost 1 or 2 troops.
The enema were spawning like mad as bradys was taxiing to the maproom. I assumed he had it in hand and was doing my best to make sure no baddies got up to stop that. They just kept spawning, you should have seen me sittin here tense all concentrated on keeping the enemy down that I completely ignored the text for awhile. I noticed Bradys holler at the other a couple of times and thats when I realized what was going on and started to move closer to the maproom and let the troops out.
We captured the field wtg

To all this may concern:
1. It is a game!!!
2. Get A life!!!
3. Being that it is a game it takes alot of nerve to accuse people directly on a message board (right or wrong).
4. The developers of this game placed a great option it is called squelch if your feelings are being hurt simply squelch the individual.
Everytime I get frustrated about this game I am learning to pause and think before lashing out on channel 1. I guess HTC is doing such a fine job with immersing us into this game we can get very emotional.

Oh I almost forgot.
Sticks and stones will break my bones but names will never hurt me.
That always worked to keep me from crying when I was a child. Thank you Mom for those words of advice...

Well tempers always get the best of people sometimes. After a couple days has gone by and the air is better, for me it is swept away. Skurj I understand exactly where you are coming from, and I should thank you instead of trash you. We can never figure out what others are thinking and sometimes they do not have time to jot down what they are doing.
I guess I was thinking to myself about when I came in a M3 and charging down the runway gun blazing and getting 2 kills and dropping troops off at maproom 100D infront of the other M3. I hate this island map for it is nothing in comparison to the land battles we had before. Sea battles are awesome but land warfare plain sucks. Sitrep is normal, least for me it is. <S>
