Why is it that so many good, friendly, fun-fight kind of guys join a certain type of group and instantly turn into arrogant and abrasive egotists?
It's almost like these people were only friendly because they thought they wouldn't stand a chance being their true self on their own.
Then they become assimilated into a group of players who regard themself so highly that they no longer need to be polite, friendly or respectful.
They then show their true colours.
Now I'm not talking about anyone specific, before anyone get's their panties in a twist. This is not an attempt to incite riot. So please dun't ban me.
I am just curious as to what causes people who start with their own individual personalities to become an army of clones, spouting the same smack, using the same tactics, aiming for the same goals, keeping the same friends and enemies as each other. Essentialy losing all sense of identity and just becoming another gimp in an army of gimps.
No personality. No individualism. No difference at all from one clone to the next. No fun to be around for anyone else but other clones.
Am I the only one who notices this human trend in all walks of life?

:aok welcome to earth Batty! i assure you, i'm as crass in RL as i am in game :lol

I have to disagree with that, there are several adults in the game that I wouldn't be surprised if they fight over barbie dolls in the real world!
Batfink, you're right, but whether it's the person showing their true colors or just being influenced by the people around them? Who knows. As far as I'm concerned, I'm me no matter who I fly with. If I call you names or something on 200 it's because I want a fight, it seems to me more people are HOing and Running now without showing a desire to learn.

I was humming it as I typed :D
Irish, that's exactly my point. you kept your indicidualism no matter what. Others sadly don't.
Krups too, always the same person no matter who you fly with. That's why I respect you and people like that.
-
See Batty, all this time I thought everyone in the squad winced when I was on channel because I didn't stop being a jackarnold when you recruited me into 71 Sqn RAF....
<---- still the same jackarnold!

mickyd and kazaa, are both good people and individuals.
You may have had strong words with them now and others in the past Bat with several differences of opinion. Maybe that says something about your character too. You are as stubborn as old boots and take that as a compliment.
I think we should have a chat on vent and get Micky in on it, just so we can have a dr shida moment, clear the air and say what we really feel. I also promise nothing will be recorded or used against you in any courts of law. ;)

Congratulations.
You have spent how many years of your life performing this visual observation study to discover the outward emotional manifistations of "Right Brain Dominant" versus "Left Brain Dominant" personality types.
Right brain dominant types are more comfortable being part of a group of very similar people and defineing themselves as that collective identity. Left brain dominant types do not need to be part of a group to express their identity.
The 180 degree personality change is not a change. That is the real personality. The change was that overly nice person you met because he was looking for a group to become part of and wanted to present himself as sociable and plyable as possible for the quickest hookup with a collective. After that only his collective's feelings about his conduct was of any consiquence to him.
There are many degrees of spectrum between these two extremes. There is a tendancy towards all of the personality traits of right brain dominace in tweens, teens and up to the mid 30's with life's experiences evening out or even shifting the personality more left dominant. This is part of finding your place in life. Dominant left brainers show up in the tweens to teens, have learning problems often identified as dyslexia and are extreme kinesthetic learners. Dominant right brainers are socialy and verbaly accomplished. Tend to do well in school and social activities because they spend more time networking with other right brainers like themselves.
It's always been around you in plain sight.

Check your local voting office in 2012 for similarities. Results may be apalling...
There's actually a word for it... sheeple. People who have willingly given up on thinking on their own, satisfied with the socially accepted views in order to not be troubled by what's really going on. People who want to be entertained, it's a way of life to... not really live your own life.
Entertainment = agreeable distraction of the mind.

I think its something to be proud of Bat if you can be the same person regarless of the company. If you expect that of more than a small minority of the population you are setting the bar very high and looking at dissapointment.
One of the reasons people form a gang is so they can bring out their inner bad boy without getting their head kicked in either metaphorically or otherwise.

Seems to me that this is the true left vs right paradigm. It's all in your head, really. :lol

BTW its probably worth bearing in mind that we in this game have allot more in common with eachother than differences. We are all fellow enthisiasts. Some like to chest thump and put others down but anyone who gets involved with that I would say more full you if you don't like it and cry about it afterwards.
Yes the game has some monumental ego's and big heads like anywhere else.

to begin with, it is human nature to want to be accepted. oftentimes one must act like those around him in order to be accepted.
if you knew me in real life, you'd see i don't have many friends.....nor have i ever. why? because i never tried to fit in. why should i? either you like me as i am, or eff off.
most people don't have this attitude, and cuoldn't carry it through if they tried to suddenly have it. in my case, the "me" you may see in game, is the same "me" you'd see in rl. no filter installed between the thought production unit, and the thought dispersal unit. broken onoff switch.
the other thing......they feel safe to act like jackwagons, thanks to the intardnet.

Excellent post. The sort of thing that makes this board worth while and interesting. Would human kind achieve much without the belongers ?
Are you getting the answer you expected Batfink?

The only thing Bustr forgot was the [/thread] close tag.

I wasnt expecting answers. I have no idea why the Fewbs are taking it as directed at them. I geuss the shoe fits.
I just made a general statement of my observations, with the odd rhetorical question. ;)

Apart from the 20 minute discussion on Knight country channel a few hours prior. Don't play the fool Bat ;)
The True colours title smacks of Irony, but I offered a solution instead of asking for extra time, I guess you like to play on until Penalties.
-
I always thought that because I'm left handed I'm in my right mind. Does that cover it? :)
-
Bat you can always count on me for telling ya the truth....as I understand it anyways.
I don't give a crap who likes it or don't, Ive never cared about "fitting in" or needing people to "like me" lol exact opposite.
there is an old saying "you laugh at me because I am different...I laugh at you because you are all the same." describes me very well.
I feel like a dinosaur in this world, very few people understand how I think, hundreds of years ago my thoughts, ideals, were far more common.
when Honor was more important then life itself, Truth was binding and not something that could be twisted to suit a persons or societies actions.
-
One person is there self and others mimic that one person to fit in or be "cool."
Happens every day.

yea no idea :lol.

I don't know why you thought that was a discussion. It was just another typical example of the Few ganging up together on one person. A person who is more than capable of handling a gangbang on his own, I might add. I don't see that there is anything that needs to be 'sorted out on ventrillo' as kazaa keeps pestering me via PM to do. You pick a fight with me even 10 on 1 I will not run away. You think I am upset that some of the few don't like me? Think again. I love the fact. It shows me I am different from the typical. Something I am proud of.

INK we think alot alike most likely the same age and grew up learning lifes lessons the hard way, but lessons learned are lessons taught to the younger generation and sons and daughters, i like to play this game just how i am IRL i still beleive in Honor in Dogfighting and carry yourself online as you would offline, the only thing to "win" in this game is Friendships and Mutual Respect, i guess its that little thing my Parents did such a good job instilling in me growing up it's called Respect

See your back just shot up like someone had just tazered you.
No-one was picking a fight with you. You interjected the chat with some comment towards Mickyd. Yes he reported your PM, that resulted in a temporary ban (no-one likes a grass) but he isn't the one taking spitefulness to another level.
The few do not hate you or anybody else, maybe that is another insight into your thought process. If you do not want to come and talk it through like grown adults then that is fine with us also. I just don't see an alternative to get past your views of the people you are talking about.
I just find it crazy that you claim to be 'different' yet argue with others that share alot in common with you.
-
aaahhh.......now there is some irony coming out here.......what appeared to be a post wondering about something, is actually a post questioning a chat ban, thinly disguised as a legitimate post.
the true colors came out....... :bhead :devil

well, as i've mentioned in other threads.....i do my damdest to not judge people on these bbs or in the game anymore. did it once.....never again, 'cause in the long run, all i did was make myself look foolish(although i do fairly often anyway), and like an ass.

Wrong on all levels of each sentance there, Bruv. Especially that part about me having things in common.
The Few members have been on my case since the dueling bracket thread. That's fine by me, I must be important to warrant the attention.
I think very few of your squad improve the gameplay for anyone and as such you are a non-event in my game time.
-

I think the part when you insinuated that Spek must have used F3 to shoot as the reason why he couldn't post his films might have had something to do with that.
Of course the noble and honourable forgets these things easily. Accusing someone of cheating when you have absolutely no reason to distrust said person. Crazy again!
Seems to be a common theme.

I have a very good reason, the fact that his squad have used outside comms in KOTH for one. I also spoke for the community. I was just the first one with the balls to say it.
Noble and honourable? What are you bleating on about?
I treat those I respect with respect and those I do not respect without respect.
I'm not honourable by nature, I'm a reckless brawler.
I never claimed to be a saint. I'm a nasty pos if you're on the wrong side of me.
I can't be bothered to keep replying to you on this matter.
Say what you will.
You are still very off topic for this thread. :eek:
-
i say 20 paces and throw your high heels at each other. :devil
-
you've been pretty bothered so far.
stating you don't care one second then replying the next. We are still very much on topic.
"Why is it that so many good, friendly, fun-fight kind of guys join a certain type of group and instantly turn into arrogant and abrasive egotists?"
This is the opening sentence from your OP. How about you look in the mirror every now and again or don't throw stones from a glass house?. I'm done trying to reason with you. You've shown your true colours and you won't be getting the opportunity to find out whether you are right or wrong in your assumptions but i'm sure it won't bother you for one second.
:salute
-
I thought this was about the Cyndi Lauper song.... :D
Phil Collins did it better. :D

i'm kinda surprised that no one has mentioned that there's no "u" in color. :devil

And you haven't?
Just saying.
-
Bruv's single line of argument seems to be;
'You do so care!!'
:rofl
-
Sometimes I think the people just act that way, because they see the group they are with acting that way, and feel its their duty.
-
If it wasn't originally about The Few, it is now since they claimed it I guess.
-
Having read the thread again, and seen the more recent posts, I think the answer is fairly simple.
Squads come and go. It's been that way as long as I've been around and I'm sure it was happening before 96 when I started in AW. Some of those squads get caught up in their own press clippings and start thinking that what they do within the game matters more then anyone else. We've all been there. I've certainly been a part of a squad that got too big for it's britches. When that happens, folks in those squads tend to get a bit more cocky and abrasive. It can feel to folks at times that they somewhat expect the rest of the players to bow, or at least get out of the way while acknowledging their greatness.
From my observation over time, those squads tend to implode, disappear, or get over themselves :)
In the end I think most folks who stick around tend to be good people
-
I have noticed the same trend Corky, I agree with your estimations entirely on this.
-
Bruv's single line of argument seems to be;
'You do so care!!'
:rofl
you wouldn't have come to the bbs and hopped on your soapbox if you didn't :D
-
Just going to say this.
I have been in several squads
Hells Assasins with Archer
Rolling Thunder with Minke
Claim Jumpers with Raccdogg (not that anyone DOESN'T know that thanks to that EPIC Downfall voice over :rofl)
And now I am in 71 SQN RAF
Now I can tell from experience, this large gang mentality. Nothing to it, its alot of fun, but the mass reporting and generalised WE ARE BETTER view is just not it.
When I join the 71 Vox, I hear, cooking tips, fishing, and then endless streams of humor, followed by some discussion and other such things.
In depth discussions on every topic, with so many jokes in between you can't breathe half the time, let alone shoot anything down, or stay flying (Batfink will back me up).
They are the most fun, most entertaining and most INSANE group I have had the pleasure of flying with, so much so, that I was fool enough to sign on.
Its not the gang mentality and its not the individual. Its the company you spend your time with that defines your personality on this game. I think its in one of the RT crew's sigs, Dadsguns "If you spend your days with imbiciles, you seal your fate"

It's almost like these people were only friendly because they thought they wouldn't stand a chance being their true self on their own.
Then they become assimilated into a group of players who regard themself so highly that they no longer need to be polite, friendly or respectful.
They then show their true colours.
Now I'm not talking about anyone specific, before anyone get's their panties in a twist. This is not an attempt to incite riot. So please dun't ban me.
I am just curious as to what causes people who start with their own individual personalities to become an army of[/font] clones, spouting the same smack, using the same tactics, aiming for the same goals, keeping the same friends and enemies as each other. Essentialy losing all sense of identity and just becoming another gimp in an army of gimps.
No personality. No individualism. No difference at all from one clone to the next. No fun to be around for anyone else but other clones.
Am I the only one who notices this human trend in all walks of life?

Why is it that so many good, friendly, fun-fight kind of guys join a certain type of group and instantly turn into arrogant and abrasive egotists?
It's almost like these people were only friendly because they thought they wouldn't stand a chance being their true self on their own.
Then they become assimilated into a group of players who regard themself so highly that they no longer need to be polite, friendly or respectful.
They then show their true colours.
Now I'm not talking about anyone specific, before anyone get's their panties in a twist. This is not an attempt to incite riot. So please dun't ban me.
I am just curious as to what causes people who start with their own individual personalities to become an army of clones, spouting the same smack, using the same tactics, aiming for the same goals, keeping the same friends and enemies as each other. Essentialy losing all sense of identity and just becoming another gimp in an army of gimps.
No personality. No individualism. No difference at all from one clone to the next. No fun to be around for anyone else but other clones.
Am I the only one who notices this human trend in all walks of life?
Some just need that spotlight on them Bat. It gives some semblence of worth in their world. They don’t care if that attention is positive or negative, as long as they get it.

If it wasn't originally about The Few, it is now since they claimed it I guess.
Unfortunately this whole thread exists because Mr BatfinkV/Mechanic had a little go at one of the Few pilots on the country channel ingame.
As with many things, us Brits tend to rally around our friends in support the instant one 'takes fire'. I guess BatfinkV took great execption to this.
Most likely, as he couldn't get any support ingame. Perhaps the saying "Never leave a man behind" is fitting.
Perhaps Batfink couldn't get the effect he desired ingame and has decided it is to be taken to the BBS in an attempt to get desired effect :rolleyes:
Probably in the thinking, "if I go to the BBS with a sly 'between the lines' thread I can come out on top, and perhaps my BBS buddies will rally around me."
The irony here is not lost on me, thinking it was a good idea is, however very much lost on me.
This whole sentiment that The Few are all clones and (unrelated,) on the verge of collapse, is all wrong. The Few have camaraderie and solidarity. :cheers:
Now I know for a fact that you, BatfinkV, are being offered an olive branch to join them on the Ventrillo channel and have a little natter about the issues that have caused and lead up to this, I emplore you to take it. Perhaps if you did, these types of cringe worthy troll attempts would certainly cease to exist.
Now even posting here may force Bruv's hand to strike me, but I again make an appeal to Batfink to have a chat with those guys on thier Ventrillo. Clear the air so none of us will be wasting our lives reading and tapping away at a bloody keyboard.
:salute

Are you inferring that Bruv has issued a gag order? I guess he realized some of your younger members were making complete arses of you all, but they are good pilots so it's worth it I guess right?

If you do not want to come and talk it through like grown adults then that is fine with us also.
If having such classy members of The Few like TienLung sending whining PMs is an example of what The Few call "come and talk it through like grown adults", I'd rather have a conversation with a squeaker.
ack-ack

Never took offence if anything i will take it as a compliment :) :rock :rock

The offensive thing is when folks use innuendo instead of making a definitive statement. Given the flaming this guy usually gives posters in the BBs who cannot A. Confirm their sources or B. Really do not understand the game interface and make silly statements, I hoped he would appreciate the validity in making a claim. Type "Drbone is Tienlung" and then substantiate it. Or.... drop it.

Most geniuses throughout the ages were left handed or ambidextrous. Think da vinci. He could write with either hand. The left handedness is thought to be the result of being able to access more of the brain's right/left handed regions than the general population.
An insteresting tendancy towards improved cognition has been observed by persons performing the following exercise for a month.
Every day for an hour using your dominant hand first, write the alphabet in the cleanest script you can in capitol letters and small letters. Even throw in 0-9. Then switch hands and do your best to copy the line of letters and numbers you just scribed for an hour. Most people at the end of 30 days will be able to copy with their nondominant hand the script in a clean manner while improving the quality of their cognition. Simple reason is left handidness is a right brain dominat trait and right handedness is a left brain dominant trait.
Brain dominance is not locked in. For whatever reason it was the easiest path for you to follow. Humans are lazy by nature. Why do you think there is so much internet porn......
