Why is it that a lot of people flying in this game use 200 to talk down and belittle others. :huh Quite often now I notice on 200 someone "A" is calling someone "B" names because they figure "B" is hugging the ack because they are on the deck and the superior E fighter "A" wants to shoot him down.
Also saying "run xxx run" does this really make them turn around and fight? :huh (just tonight I watched 2 51's chasing a temp on the deck for 15 miles only to have the tables finally turn and the temp came back chasing a 51)
We have to remember that there are quite young kids on this game with us also. :D :salute

smack talk has always been part of this game. It's usually pretty entertaining. sometimes it crosses the line of good taste(I'm guilty of this) but it's mostly harmless, don't you think?
-
Does this bother you or hurt your feelings?
-
I've never had a problem with Channel 200... Of course, I've never turned it on, either, but certainly I've never had any problems with it at all!

Not so Steve. Think back to when you 1st began flying AH. Compare the proportion of bad manners both frequency and severity to now.
FWIW, the change also can be seen on the BBS. Somewhere around 4 years ago+ the post clearasil set won the day.

If I can tick someone off by shooting down their cartoon plane from hundreds of miles away in my uber spitfire MKXVI, proof of which I then have on 200 (goes something like this: "OMG SAANTANA U NOOB SPIXTEEN", or "OMG SAANTANA HOER") its 15$ well spent :aok

lol i don't even have to do that to tick anyone off. I just have to text betty 5 times lol!!

I keep a mental list of the most smack talking sticks in the game and enjoy killing them the most. You are always certain to get a reaction from them :aok
You guys should keep one too. I can see superbKi11er already has one name on his list :lol
And oh BTW, im probably on other peoples list as well :)

If they don't like it or don't want to see it they are not made to tune to 200.
It's an optional channel and don't forget a lot of that stuff on 200 is put there by these young kids.

people cna cry all they want, as long as I'm not the one that went down in flame =)

Most the times it's funny stuff. Normally it is a distraction and keeps your eyes watching a text buffer and not looking around for the enemy.

If you lose sleep over being called a noob or dweeb in a cartoon game you should be escorted to the nearest mental health facility and checked out very closely. because the realities of real life would KILL you!
-
I find 200 quite entertaining. This is a very confrontational game and channel 200 is just a reflection of that fact. Getting some ire up on 200 can actually make the game even more fun as it involves the emotional element of adversarialism. Personal and country rivalries tend to add an emotionally charged dimension to the conflict that is often followed by a commitment of effort on people's part that goes above and beyond their minimal "gaming duty". This has the effect of making the gaming experience more intense for everyone, even those not directly involved in the discourse on 200. Obviously, there is a point when the channel 200 banter can become insulting, repetitive and inappropriate, but that is what individual discretion and the mods are for.
-
Glad that none of the banter was directed at me. Usually watch it for the gentle pokes at some ones being but seeing someone else being verbally (text) attacked worried me when my 9 year was reading out loud over my shoulder :aok
-
200 is my "play ground"

200 is my "play ground"
You the guy in the bushes with the trenchcoat? :huh
-
"Smack talk" is IMO just another example of the slow death of civilization in the U.S.A. Most don't regulate their mouths enough when the chance of getting a broken nose goes down to zero.
Then again, 200 is easy enough to detune when it gets too nauseating.

Smack talk is one thing.........
Some of these people are resorting to personal insults.
Example : calling someone a MEANY or a BULLY is considerably different then calling them a tard.....
Pretty sure the legal system agrees on such things as well....
That IMHO is where the line needs to be drawn.
If you are UNABLE to see the difference then maybe you shouldn't say anything?
GRADUALLY lawyers and the legal system are COMING to your PC, in the name of PC?, and probably eventually AHII and other online gaming communities.
This is just the latest report on law and the NET.
http://apnews.myway.com/article/20080719/D920QGJG0.html
I've posted others of a similar nature in the past.
So for those that think they can say whatever they want.....
you MIGHT want to start rethinking that.....
It COULD become expensive.......
And a couple of little thoughts for all...
Manners have a purpose....
They can keep you OUT of trouble.....
and they help society to work MORE smoothly...
BUT
If you can not or will not control yourself DON'T worry!
The world has MANY people that want, VERY BADLY, to control you!
They just need the excuse that YOU'RE gonna give em!

You scare me
I do :O
Why? :huh
Because I've seen this type of stuff repeatedly?
Because I'm old enough to remember things differently?
Because I've watched our FREEDOMS gradually get taken a little here a little there and seen it happen pretty much the same way with each issue?
Hey I've watched this kinda stuff over and over .......
Someone OVERDOES it or just plain ABUSES it or LEAPS OVER the TOP with what they THINK their freedom is, and we ALL get SLAPPED for it.....
AND we are of course told it is for our own good............
It's for the children?
BUT some claim that, in here, it IS the children doing it?
You should USE a right if for no other reason then to keep it BUT if you ABUSE a right....
knowing the difference between USE and ABUSE can be a fine line?

It was funny last night when a certain person was trying to intimidate me on 200. Not once or twice, for as long as he was logged on almost. This I think was the 2nd or so time that I actually tuned 200 to see what was going on there. Sure enough this guy was shooting his mouth in a way that I don't really see as smack talking but more closely related to whining.
The really amusing part was when the above not-mentioned person just totally shut up, after being shot down by me (and probably others in between) a few times. Plus I was starting to talk to other people on 200 channel, jokingly and in a good mood without paying any attention to him.
It was all good fun, actually one of the best nights in AH I've had in a long time.
If 200 bothers you, detune. Unfortunately however, there is no way to shut off a person who go at you on a personal level or for you specifically. I've tried to put an end to it, but to no effect really because people call me a whiner for that. So in that sense I agree with BnZ on the deterioration of society because of stupid people.
-
No wrag because the meds the nursing home has you on are effecting you ways of thinking
-
I don't mind the guys mouthing off on 200 that will actually go to the DA with someone. I don't care what happens in the DA, either (if they win or lose, doesn't matter). But to mouth off on 200 about wanting a fight, or getting ho'd or picked all the time, etc., and then refusing to go to the DA is about as pathetic as you can get, IMO.
A: "You no skill tards need to gang me to get a kill!?!?"
B: "If you want a fair 1v1, I'll go with you to the DA"
A: "DA is for losers!"
:rolleyes:
Honestly, if you are player A, just shut up.

If someone privates you in an offensive manner take a picture and send to HTC.
Some here will say tattletale or whiner...
Consider this....
You can't meet the person, you have NO way to deal with the person that won't deteriorate into something ugly on 200 and possibly get some people muted or even banned soooooo...
And many people that SEEM to get off on being ********* online USUALLY would NEVER talk to you, in person, in the same manner...........

I'd like to take this time you tell the AH2 community that you can call me any thing you like. I don't care. I can take it. I'm not a cry baby and won't report you, I'll hunt you and shot your plane down if it takes me all night. I personally like a good fight. This is why I joined the Marines as a kid, and not the AirForce. And played football, not baseball or tennis.
When I first went to bootcamp there was a kid that started crying when the drill instructors got in his face. We never seen him again. They sent him home on a bus because he was a "nonhacker".
Being called a "tard"? OH THE HORROR! If typed words on a computer screen is that upsetting to some of you....well I just don't understand that.
-

So now you feel better? :aok

You do and so do other.............
BUT it only takes one or two and a GOOD? lawyer.....
And lawyers love to make lots of money over stuff like this? OR NOT?

Agreed. Boot camp never bothered me on a mental level. Physically it was a challenge but jeez come on you need to be focused to achieve something at all. Sure it was a pain when you had to do stuff over again only because the instructor was in that mood, but you just have to accept the conditions and get on with it. Which is exactly what is required in a live situation, adapt to survive. What the military look for is mental stability in the toughest conditions, I got a 9 out of 9 possible on that test thankyou.

Now your being paranoid.
I am yet to laugh my socks off by seeing a lawsuit filed over cartoon plane name calling.
-
Now your being paranoid.

I wouldn't call it paranoia. People these days will sue for everything. It doesn't matter if the Supreme Court has already ruled on the same sort of case, they'll still say, "That hurt my feelings, give me money!"
So I wouldn't be that suprised to see a lawsuit filed over cartoon plane name calling.
I WOULD be suprised (shocked, saddened, dismayed, horrified), to see the lawsuit actually win... I mean, both sides get representation, one is going on pure emotion, the other is arguing law... SHOULD be an easy win for smack talker, but these days, who knows...
-
So, if I get killed I can sue? I mean dying is causing me some emotional distress.
Hehe, in the world as it is, this may actually happen.
-
And many people that SEEM to get off on being ********* online USUALLY would NEVER talk to you, in person, in the same manner...........
I suspect that is true, but as for me I give back what I get whether it be online or in person. I'm a honest person that speaks his mind and respect others that do the same. But I also understand that for some, they my need an outlet to vent because they can't do it in real life for whatever reason.
-
IMHO Vudak gets it.....

and so does 2bighorn
"So, if I get killed I can sue? I mean dying is causing me some emotional distress.
Hehe, in the world as it is, this may actually happen."
Look at all those law suites against the firearms industry!
The suites were pretty much IMHO unwinable BUT................
Then there are the recent law suites against MySpace, AND some of the people using it, AND etc.........
Not saying it will happen tomorrow BUT in our increasingly P.C. world I'm pretty sure it's coming!
Look at the schools......
Not allowing some sports BECAUSE someones feeling might get hurt if they don't do well?
And what is being used to FUEL this kinda thing?
OUR OWN WORDS!

Maybe we should have a Oprea show...
"I got smack talked on 200 and it hurt my feelings"

I think our society has tarded to the point that we can say things on the internet that we only yell at other drivers (not really meaning for that old grandma to accually hear you) :O We have become very used to death, violence and name calling, just watch the late news. Things people used to just think now are sent over the internet to another person not knowing who that other person is or what they are capable of (postal). :noid
I expect this kind of trash talk out of young person but coming from someone that should be grown up :confused:
I guess that some people just have to make it seem like their Cartoon is bigger others Cartoons. :rofl
-
And lawyers love to make lots of money over stuff like this? OR NOT?
...er...NOT...
FWIW, I expect smack talk from teenagers. By the time people get older I figure they're past the nanny-nanny-boogie stage. Gets discouraging to see how many never make it over the hump.

This game has ALOT of cops,exmilitary and present military in it. I consider these to be A type professions. Am I wrong?
-
I don't mind a little banter so long as it stays lighthearted, intelligent, and funny. When it denigrates to expletives and openly mocking someone I get a little disgusted. If it gets too bad I'll just detune or logoff and drive on. I'm here for fun and being a or being around rectal orifices is something I do for a living not entertainment.

Conspiracy theory???? :huh :huh :huh
IMHO that's a pretty far stretch! :O :O
I stating what I see and SOME others SEEM to agree on this BBS that they can also see it....
You are saying you can't see it?
That you have NEVER noticed the P.C. crowd getting their panties ina bunch and jumping all over something? Or our MEDIA getting sensational about something? Or our schools avoiding sports that might hurt someones emotional/selfimage thing?
And then of course you haven't noticed the attorneys that are just LOOKING to make money just looking for something to sue people over? (Pretty sure they were all over the MySpace suicide thing.. doubt the girls parents had to look far or very hard for one...)
It doesn't OCCUR to you that someone may have an offspring flying on here, they decide to come watch for just a little, and get offended, and no AHII for their offspring, LOSING a customer and money for HTC, OR they get really offended and sue someone over some of the stuff on 200 (which BTW does from time to time get over the top)? Which could also result in HTC losing money, increased business insurance premiums, or even far worse the possibility of all of us losing OUR preferred flight sim cause the money went to attorneys, in cases NO ONE actually won, that pretty much don't care about combat flight sims?
Not saying ANY of this WILL happen!
Saying I've watched this kinda stuff before in other areas of society.
AND
Every things going along fine, no one is having any REAL problem, BUT someone noticed what could very easily become a MAJOR problem in the NOT very distant future.....
then suddenly it IS a major problem and BANG everything gets changed!
And of course you've always got the NA SAYERS that said never happen... now saying their FAMOUS (and IMHO STOOOPID) "Who would have thought that was possible....."
I can NAME TWO areas of society where the type of thing I'm talking about has and IS happening right now!
Where the NAY SAYERS USED to say "That could NEVER happen....."
Wanna ask me what those areas are? OR NOT???
You can't see it????
Fine NP :)

I really doubt that anyone, be it a proported Internet abusee or a lawyer, are going to be willing to put up the money to try to win a lawsuit over ch. 200 bantor. After all, someone is going to have to pay for the attempt, and that means they'd have to believe they had a good chance of winning.
I wouldn't place that bet.

The court fees and such really wouldn't be that much to get one started... You just need a claimant that's willing to "Make a stand," and has a few hundred dollars to blow, and a lawyer looking to make a name for himself, that'll work on a contingency fee, and there ya go.
I mean, if they were actually trying to win it, they'd have to start paying for doctor visits and such (I kind of doubt insurance will cover it) and report fees and all that would add up, but trust me, people sue over incredibly stupid reasons as is.
Very unlikely, true. But these days, who knows. Probably just a matter of time until someone tries it.
Of course, in all honesty, I think the first case that'll happen will be Skuzzy going after HiTech on Monday for some W. Comp after he blows an artery looking at what we've all been up to this weekend :D

Every one just has to remember that there are at any one time between 50 - 600 players in an arena and they all see or hear your banter. Everything is recordable for posterity and if you can't say it in front of your kids or your grandma don't say it. :aok

I've never had a problem with Channel 200... Of course, I've never turned it on, either, but certainly I've never had any problems with it at all!

Don't tune it and you won't see it. I dont like seeing kids talk trash and cry, thats why I work on aircraft and not in a daycare.

HOW TRUE!

CH200 is not a great place to vent your frustrations after choosing poorly and getting beat for it. There are the people that cant accept that they can be beat at all and have to fling monkey poop or accuse people of cheating. Late evenings here in the US I choose to turn it off but it can be fun at times.

I had a very minor disagreement with a fellow over 200 tonight. We decided to go a few ammo loads in the TA and had an absolute blast.
He ended up winning most of them, so far as I can tell (you don't take damage in the TA), but what does that matter? All I know is we were both having a great time, and I got a great future dueling partner and new friend out of the deal.
You might be suprised just how many of my friends in this game came about because of similar situations :)
As such I have no problem with the guys venting over 200 when they're being honest. If they're venting about how they didn't get the good fight they wanted, and then you offer them one in the TA/DA, and they don't take you up on it, they aren't being very honest.
I like running into the sort of person I ran into tonight. The other sort, I'm not so crazy about.

Wrag Do you get Eye strain from watching for Black Helicopters? Obviously you Have way more time to spend on this kinda thing than I, But if I miss my guess ,every computer hooked to this silly game we all play has a off button, If some lawyer could PROVE injury from banter on 200 then I guess our world is lost and we should all sign up for sensitivity training classes offered by HTC. :confused:

LOLOL! Alpha males? How about computer dorks? Most alpha males won't spend hours upon hours playing cartoon games online, they are too busy working out at the gym with your wife or girlfriend.
VERY funny!!

Does this bother you or hurt your feelings?
it bothers ME! :lol

Smack talk is one thing.........
Some of these people are resorting to personal insults.
Example : calling someone a MEANY or a BULLY is considerably different then calling them a tard.....
Pretty sure the legal system agrees on such things as well....
That IMHO is where the line needs to be drawn.
If you are UNABLE to see the difference then maybe you shouldn't say anything?
GRADUALLY lawyers and the legal system are COMING to your PC, in the name of PC?, and probably eventually AHII and other online gaming communities.
This is just the latest report on law and the NET.

I've posted others of a similar nature in the past.
So for those that think they can say whatever they want.....
you MIGHT want to start rethinking that.....
It COULD become expensive.......
And a couple of little thoughts for all...
Manners have a purpose....
They can keep you OUT of trouble.....
and they help society to work MORE smoothly...
BUT
If you can not or will not control yourself DON'T worry!
The world has MANY people that want, VERY BADLY, to control you!
They just need the excuse that YOU'RE gonna give em!
This post reads like those stupid email chain letters people think they are clever in forwarding to me. Where's my block list for the BBS?

I wouldnt let some 30yo-stat-lover-but-otherwise-real-life-loser living in his parents basement or some juvenile punk kid get to you. Yeah, it gets real annoying but ignore it as much as possible. I do. Some people get the crap beat out of them in RL or have yet to have RL shoved in their face so they have to whip out their 3in e-noodle and stroke it to 4in by being rude and inconsiderate.
Although... I wouldnt mind a vote count to kick/perm-squelch someone. Other online games have it for certain features.

CH200 is not a great place to vent your frustrations after choosing poorly and getting beat for it. There are the people that cant accept that they can be beat at all and have to fling monkey poop or accuse people of cheating. Late evenings here in the US I choose to turn it off but it can be fun at times.
i turn it off during US prime hours and most the time off all weekend, the endless weak smack and "runstang run" over and over kills brain cells.

So? it was in response to whiteman receiving the runstang taunt.

Now lets be clear I don't fly the runstang! :D I just plain suck in it and I was talking about it just being used over and over, "run*insert plane here* run". Tired of seeing it so I don't tune to 200, 200 looks like a bunch parrots talking to each other. repeat of the same dribble over and over.
-
Why is it that a lot of people flying in this game use 200 to talk down and belittle others. :huh Quite often now I notice on 200 someone "A" is calling someone "B" names because they figure "B" is hugging the ack because they are on the deck and the superior E fighter "A" wants to shoot him down.
Also saying "run xxx run" does this really make them turn around and fight? :huh (just tonight I watched 2 51's chasing a temp on the deck for 15 miles only to have the tables finally turn and the temp came back chasing a 51)
We have to remember that there are quite young kids on this game with us also. :D :salute
You're lucky there is no more Channel 1, and now a tunable channel for "All."
Remember those days fellas?

If you lose sleep over being called a noob or dweeb in a cartoon game you should be escorted to the nearest mental health facility and checked out very closely. because the realities of real life would KILL you!
very well sad :aok
Exception: anyone who PM'S you profanity...In this case these are the people that need some mental help :rolleyes:
