You know it usually doesn't bother me but for some reason it hit a nerve tonight. I try to be respectful to everyone in the game bish, knit, rook it doesn't matter. But you know it just tics me off when you have a whole squad that will not Salute you weather you shoot them down or they shoot you down. Do they think there better than everyone else, do they think that someone like me isn't worthy of being in the same arena as thou holy one's, what is the deal. I put my life in danger everyday for my fellow man with out asking for reward or recognition and I never will, it's my nature to be friendly and respectful to other people. And to send a jester of respect and friendliness as a salute to some one that enjoys playing this game as I do and to get back nothing from more than one in the same squad just tramples on everything that I believe. I don't expect it from everyone and I do it just out of respect, but is it so hard to type .S (name).

What squad are you referring to?
I've heard a lot of complaints about Corky, I hear he got muted just the other night for being inflammatory towards TxMom.

I don't think I will name the squad, because I thought they were respected and I guess I was wrong, and I killed enough of them and they killed me enough tonight that they know who they are.

<S> Cajun there are some ppl who are just d*cks try not to let it bother you to much man. Lata bro.

We got along for years before the ".s" command was introduced. Whether you give a <S> or not doesn't mean diddley towards how you feel about the person.
In MY personal humble opinion, sending <S> all the time is like chatting on AOL with all the arbitrary built-in acronyms, a private in-joke for kids "in the know" -- but it's not funny.
So I don't send salutes. Has nothing to do with the quality of the fight or how I feel about the person. Most times I'll gripe on squad vox if I don't like a guy or maybe on 200 if I do. Sometimes (very rarely) I'll give out a <S> if I think the other guy warrants it and I'm in a good mood.
Doesn't mean others DON'T deserve it. Means I don't often use what I feel to be a lame game feature.

I don't think its lame, if its used to send a message out of respect across to another player. I think its a quick and easy notion of hey good fight..... :salute "no pun intended"

As long as you are ok with yourself, what does it matter? You said something in your post about not asking for reward or recognition. If you can get by in the real world without it, I wouldn't let the cartoon world bother you :)
-
I hear what all you guys are saying, and its not going to change who I am and how I play the game, but sometimes a friendly jester is just a friendly jester and I wanted them to know it. :salute
-
<S> Cajun there are some ppl who are just d*cks try not to let it bother you to much man. Lata bro.
Take Cajuns advice and don't let it worry you to much.
I forget to give them all the time mostly because I'm still busy or the text buffer is moving so fast I'm missing a lot of messages. I had 200 turned off for almost two years now it's on 1/2 the time I play. I'm sure it will be going off again this summer as usual.
You can't hold it against them if they can't see it or to busy to say WTG NF
-
I TRY to make a point to type "g/k" (good kill) or "n/s" (nice shot) before my plane hits the ground and i'm in the tower.
Sometimes when I SEE the name who shot me I don't wanna salute 'em which is why I try to type it before I hit the ground and see who got me. This way hated nme, unknown dweeb, or virtual comrade all will get a "good kill" by me equally.
Just something I do.

You used to <S> me all the time back in the days :D
-
I don't typically initiate them win loose or draw. Will reply to a salute most times.
-
I think salutes are tossed around way too freely. So much so, that they become pretty meaningless. So, I only salute someone when it was an outstanding fight. Or if they salute me first, I will usually slute them back (unless they just did something really dweeby, then I ignore them).
-
I've heard a lot of complaints about Corky, I hear he got muted just the other night for being inflammatory towards TxMom.
I think you're joshing around. *grin* Corky's not ever rude to anyone.
-
<S> usually given to recognize a good fight. Keep in mind, what you may find as a good fight, the other may not. It doesn't necessarily imply a lack of respect. I see <S> being used much more frequently, and maybe taking on a bit of a different meaning. For example, If I shoot a guy down 4 times and he gets me 4 times trying to HO and pick me, I'm not going to send a <S> just because we were shooting at each other. Doesn't mean I don't respect the person...just fight wise it wasn't really <S>'able imho.

Same here, I'll give one if my opponent gave me a good fight, but I too think they are given out way to easily. Some guy picks me while I'm fighting 2 more then gives me a salute... what do you say to that :rolleyes:
-
What squad are you referring to?
I've heard a lot of complaints about Corky, I hear he got muted just the other night for being inflammatory towards TxMom.
:huh
I think you're joshing around. *grin* Corky's not ever rude to anyone.
And here I thought the world was finally coming un-glued. :D
Like the other's have said, don't worry about it. I've sent salutes in the past to what I thought was a good fight only to be verbally bashed on 200. (I don't tune in but squaddies might tell me that I ticked somebody off). Now I send them out only to the really good fights. Those are very rare these days.
<S>

-
Good fights should be saluted, cheap shots shouldn't. On the other hand I have ran into one "Respected" player multiple times and had very good fights with them only to be accused of a cheap shot when they die, good old fashion salute would have been very apropriate. :salute
-
I can understand what the OP is saying, and what every one else is saying also, sometimes it is nice to receive a <S> when the fight was worthy. I try to give out a <S> when ever a good fight was had, I think Lute said he sends one before he hits the ground, I will do the same thing,
but if I am being hourded The <S> or G/F I send is usually sarcastic and meant to piss them off.
although if I am fighting someone who does a great job of killing me I will always send a <S> even if he did it in a way that was "dweeby" except for a vulch, they get no <S>.
ink
-
I almost always GK or good shot like lute, often before I hit the ground. We all miss <S>'s we'd like to return (either we're still up and fighting or to busy :furious :furious if we're not). However I'll ignore a <S> once in awhile because I don't think a reply is warranted...
-
I hear what all you guys are saying, and its not going to change who I am and how I play the game, but sometimes a friendly jester is just a friendly jester and I wanted them to know it. :salute
I think the word you're looking for is "gesture", not "jester".
I like the idea of sending them (the <S>) before you hit the ground and see who it is - that way it is based only on the quality of the fight without allowing your personal feelings towards certain other players or squads to influence the salute. Good idea WMLute!
-
I don't think its lame, if its used to send a message out of respect across to another player. I think its a quick and easy notion of hey good fight..... :salute "no pun intended"
What is the unintended pun here?

Also, is a "jester" something like a joker?

You gave them hell and died to a picker, thats how i look at that and send those two a salute.
-
but is it so hard to type .S (name).
Well, if you killed me no, it is very easy. If I killed you, I may be busy with an other plane so yeah, very hard in that case. Not to mention it is a game and a simple Hi or :p should be enough. A is a little funny really. We are not real pilits in a real war ;)
-
i love you cajunn :aok

I don't monitor 200 so .s (name) is easiest for me
-
I think you're joshing around. *grin* Corky's not ever rude to anyone.
You've never heard him on vox during SAPP nights. If one of us was just a half a meter out of formation, we'd be a victim of his verbal lashings. One night when Mensa messed up on his torpedo run on a town, Corky's tirade was so vicious that poor Mensa started to cry when Corky started to make fun of his peg leg and lazy eye.
Behind closed doors, Corky is a mean.
ack-ack
-
I only hold a grudge against people who have a grudge against me, or my squad. There are a few people that, no matter if they kill us, or we kill them, that I will never give a <S> back, nor will they give a <S> back to us.
<S>
-

Sometimes people will <S> over 200. I generally try to use the .s function since I usually don't know if the other guy tunes 200, however I've gotten <S>'s from people I don't know over 200 so some obviously just assume that you do (which isn't a terrible assumption, lots of people do tune 200).
-
Grow thicker skin. :)
Salutes are not a requirement, neither are check 6 calls. Appreciate them when you get them, don't sweat the small stuff when you don't.
Dweebs are a dime a dozen, be thankful you're not one of them.

How can Corky complain about formation flying...he barely has enough intact parts to call his ride a plane. :t

I just saw your other post http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/index.php/topic,264419.0.html
If you were in a Spit16 maybe that's why they didn't return a salute. Honestly I rarely return salutes to Spitfire pilots, LA pilots, Typhoon pilots, N1k2 pilots, Chawg pilots, or anybody flying one of the big cannon birds. It's not that I mean them any disrespect, however I don't really respect them for achieving a one ping kill. Some johnny comes along and kills me with his P-40E or C202, I'll salute them. But thats just me.
<S>

Respect, spit dweeb worries..sounds like someone needs to step back
and take a deep breath. It's a game, have fun..period :aok

You probably get saluted back on 200 alot and don't know it. I personally only salute a good fight.
As for corkyjr he railed on me for 2 weeks all because on one SAPP mission I did not put enough duct tape on my torpedos to hold them on well enough. He made me get out while in flight to fix it. Spilled half a blender of margaritas all over the downstairs of my 38.

That's depressing.

Unlike some people here, I do give salutes, and check sixes. It is at my/your own discretion to do so, but it does show a little class. I see that there are some who think they are 'beyond' giving a salute, so to them I say <SMSB>. To all the rest I say <S>.

I do the <S> on 200. Im sure some have .saluted me who werent tuned and thought I was a jerk because they didnt see it.

I always give a check 6. I prefer not to get one in return. I spend more time watching my 6 than looking out of the front of the cockpit and 80% of check 6's are from someone who is so far away he cannot even see who's behind who. That IMHO leads to a distraction that can possibly negate a gained advantage and extend time in the fight. I personally prefer to take my chances checking my own 6 than having the above mentioned distractions.
I normally return a <S> to someone who happens to see me up and is saying Hi. I do not give <S>'s for every fight I'm in. If I did that I'd never have time to fly. If I shoot you down or you shoot me down please don't expect a <S> from me as I've already moved on to the next fight and since every single fight is a great one for me anyone who fights me wins/loses should know I had fun!
It has nothing to do with "class" or "beyond" giving a <S>. To quote Paul Harvey, "And that's the rest of the story" . Did you know he's dead?

I got about 4 kills in a Yak once. None of them put up a fight, as such I saluted none of them.
-
Cajunn, what ever you do in real life to put our life in danger for the greater good, my respect for you sir. <S>
That being said, there is a difference of being disrespected and not being afforded respect. If someone in the game does not respect me, that is fine as long as they don't disrespect me. Respect comes with time.

I once was in a 5 minute dogfight with someone on the game (Not naming names) and won in a perfect shot on his six. I saluted him, and he Pmed me saying #*!$ You.

-
Ren, I'm not saying give a <S> to every fight. I'm talking about the fights that you know were damn good and at the end of that fight, the one that survived probably had to bring his/her plane home on crutches.
As far as the check 6's, let me carrify that little. When I see someone that I am very certain, IMHO, has no clue there is a con on his tail, I will call it out.
PS, Paul Harvey is one of my icons and I miss his stories. So check 6.

I was told not to speak of my abuse if I ever wanted to see a 38 again :(.
I recall a time when Lazer just looked at Corky funny, we haven't seen him in months.

Roger dat! I'm just saying if you get into a fight with me...and I win, lose or draw...you can bet I had a great fight anyway. With my limited time in the MA I'll already be off fighting someone else. They are all great fights. Some just last longer than others :)

The fights where at the end, im on the edge of my chair sweating is when I usually give a <S>. Or if someone <S>'s me first I usually return it, or if someone totally destroys me or does a nice move.

I salute back sure but I don't salute people initially very often if at all. Thing is the guys I usually have good fights with, i already have quite a track record with- and we both knew it was a good fight. Usually there'll just be an exchange of comments on the fight rather than a salute. Whether it be hateful or loving!! :rofl
