Title: I need some advice.
Post by: StokesAk on May 31, 2009, 06:32:27 PM
Today i got really mad a group of people and ended up running my mouth and eventually having to leave the arena.

How do you guys deal with someone that is provoking you?

Or you can do what VonMessa and I did last night when someone accused me of "gangbanging" by being the only Con on their 6.   They also bailed before my cannon fired, only MG's hit him.   

Give it back.   But most don't know how to "rattle the cage" without opening the door.   Most push it too far.

detune 200...  If it's on country, then squelch.  Understand that many of the people who intentionally are trying to provoke you consider it a win if you react.  Then there are those folks, who are trying to make you mad because they think it will give them an advantage in a fight.

If I catch myself taking it so seriously that somebody is getting under my skin, I log off and find something else to do.  It isn't worth getting worked up over, it really is just a game.

I would say control your anger and move on to another fight. Sadly we cant change the way some dweebs play the game, but we just have to keep in mind that it is just a game and there are alot of other places to fly. :salute

Already mentioned...  .mute and move on to the next fight.

Unless...you have all night to spend on some pinhead trading insults...or would you rather spend quality time dogfighting?

Personally I spend more time fighting and no time chatting with pinheads....

But, the choice really is yours.

When this happens to me I usually move to another base. I will give a little nudge on 200 but never to much as it is pointless as the mindset in these situations is I'm so uber cool I am the shizim.

Next time just move on and the next time you collect their scalp during a real odds fight flick them a little smiley.

:huh WHUT?!?!

To answer the question, what do you do if someone is getting you angry?: Threaten them with physical violence at the next con like real men do.

 I figure they weren't hugged or loved enough by their Mom, so I give 'em a wee little  *smooch*   I type that in to 200 and then leave it alone, I feel I've done my part at that moment....Heck everyone needs a little kiss every no wand then. :aok

I hate it when I agree with Steve :)

Absolutely nothing in this game to get worked up about.  When you start getting frustrated and angry, it's time to log off and put the world back in perspective.

No one really dies, and the planes are in never ending supply.  If you are upping into a mob, expect to get horded.  It just makes me laugh most of the time seeing how many I can get before I die again.

How do you guys deal with someone that is provoking you?

It makes me feel better to lie on by back and scream while I pump my arms and slam my feet on the floor over and over.

How do you deal with someone who is provoking you?  I give up, how do you do it in real life?

I keep a supply of cups in the house. Then, when I am angry, I write the person's name on to the cup and break them into little pieces with a hammer. A big hammer. I switched to plastic cups though, as they are much cheaper to buy in bulk.

been guilty of PMing my Fd...up personal thoughts on how you may play the game but
 i have a new trick in the bag now, you beat me up and i pop you a salute cause no matter how you killed me...
you killed me !

got sucked into the whole 200 conga line kinder party a few years ago and that just took
away from the fun of the game.
 I wanna fight with morons ill go back to jail....lots of them there...

the game is so much better without all the blame and kiddie banter.

im just sayin.........

While it's hard (sometimes darn near impossible) I find that ignoring them works the best.  So many times I have already typed an inflammatory text message only to realize I'm just stooping to their level and then deleting it.  I also have come to realize that sometimes people are mistakenly reacting to something they "think" you have done to them.  I have even given a <S> to the offending pilot and made light of the situation with a humorous message and have actually gained some respect and more courteous treatment from the offenders.  Not the easy path, I know, but definitely the "high road".  Remember, most of us game players are a competitive bunch and some just can't control that as well as others, hopefully they will gain that ability eventually from the example of more "mature" players.

Up from a more distant base in a good BnZ plane, grab lots of altitude, and then tell them to come get you.  :devil

Alternatively, if you can, it might be a good time to spend perk points on a 262.

Better yet, drive to their airfield in a GV and camp their runway...

If you were offended by someone, say what you got to say to them and move on to another fight.  If it becomes a pissing match, squelch em and move on.  If you were in the wrong, be the bigger man and admit it, give a <S> and move on.  
Your going to find many intardnet tough kids talk trash in the safety of their moms house, dont let it frustrate you.  
Most importantly, have fun.  Their are way too many good fights out there, you just got to know where to find them.  

You could always remind them to never walk around with their callsign on their Barbi backpack or their halter top in public... it would be unhealthy...  :lol  :devil

First of all I am too darn nice to get mad over anything in this game, and I recommend that you try to do the same.  Second, I only blame myself for not being able to control my addiction(fighting the entire air force of a single country by myself).  Get alt and go back to torment from on high, or move to another fight Stokes.  Not worth making yourself look like a dork by texting worthless crap back and forth.

Have a great day,

Way

Do what I do when ganged, taunt them! They'lle gang and hO you a little more, taunt them a little more. The ganging and HOing becomes more intense, taunt more :aok untill all the enemy in your area are keen on killing you at all costs just to see your next text, make a few auger, smack a few around, lose lotsa planes, get new ones and repeat as above :aok Have some good genuine laughs in the knowledge that you are improving their scores and that "they are taking the game far more personally than you"  :aok   :rofl :rofl

Understand your style stokes! you like to up against the odds also!! embrace it and do a little taunting! But keep it within the game and not personal, all will be fun and good :aok

Besides stokes, I was there also. It was the booger bunch,  it's how they roll  :rofl :rofl :rofl

Like others I detune 200 or just ignore them.  I like the occasional banter among cartoon friends, but just accept as it was said before, the kindergarten club will aways exsit.  Its kind of like when I used to arrest some cherry that was crying for his mamma till he was safely seated in the back of my patrol car.  Then the mouth started of how he was gonna own me if I would only remove the cuffs.   Same mind set going on here.

Just move to a different fight or arena.  I play this game to relax and have fun.  If its to bad I walk away for an hour or two then come back.  I mean lets face it, you need the excersize anyway. :lol  Lord knows I do :P

I have never been gang banged.  Everyone in this game loves me.  I have never been cussed out, threatened or had to listen to a single whine, because every single one of my kills were deserved by my superior airmanship.  I have never had someone steal a kill from me nor vice versa.  And not once has anyone ever privated me in frustration.  Why is it that I am the only person replying to this post that doesnt encounter ill tempered players in Aces High.

I geuss Im just a helluva guy.

It's really very simple. Never forget it is just a game. In the end, you can take what ever happens here and 4 trillion dollars and pay off the US debt...and that about it. :)

I don't say anything about ganging, the trend I see is that Wingmen are starting to become a bigger part of the game. And I really like the Idea of using a wingman, and when done right its makes for some very entertaining films/fights to watch a couple of guys work together.

The best course of action is to threaten to dismember them and eat their limbs raw infront of them.
Now if you're in the position in which you have to carry out the threat, it's ok to shallow fry calves with some basil and citruspepper. I wouldn't eat them raw as you don't want to get sick over something as petty as an Aces high arguement.
