Title: Rules ?
Post by: Rob52240 on August 16, 2011, 12:59:49 PM
Is it against the rules to join a posted mission, launch with it and get the briefing, then bail out & change countries to the one being attacked by said mission and attack the mission?

I know it's bad manners but I have no idea whether or not it's against the rules.  I'm not out to report anyone, I'm just curious.

The mission was successful and the mission executed the person who switched, that's justice enough for me.

I don't know what people do in WOW, but this is what can happen when mom makes them go without.

Rules on AH, LOL.   More like playing far.  Yes, there are some people who do this.

Amazing. Never ever seen this.
Btw, if it would be against the rules, he couldnt manage to switch once he participated.

I thought the 12 hour switch change was supposed to prevent this from happening.

/sarcasm

Hopefully, the delay will decrease from 12 hours to something more reasonable.

why? why would it bother you when someone switches to find a fight...seems pretty screwed up that you think you can dictate how others play.

The only rule is to not be a dick, which is completely subjective to the person involved.  So yeah, it was okay for him to do that as long as he didn't consider himself to be a dick while he was doing it.

What are you going to do if they have 2 accounts? Ban them from using some outside communication source like e-mail, text messages, Skype, or Teamspeak?

If they want to 'spie', nothing you do will prevent it. Quit punishing the rest of us with the paranoia.

The rules are simple:  Don't be a dick.

Doing what the OP said is a dick move, therefore; breaking this rule...

Then here's a list of BAN:

Bomber dicks who drop all the hangers just to kill a furball
bomb**** dicks who bomb GV fights
Picking dicks who jump into other people's 1v1s
Gangtard dicks
Vulchtard dicks
Hordetard dicks
Runtard dicks who run to friends
Ackhugger dicks who run to ack


The list goes on and on. People being dicks.  :rofl

Someone wants to fight against your mission? Good, having opposition is the only thing that makes your secret super-horde mission non-dweebish.

LOL, those people aren't dicks, they're just whiners. The dick in that situation is the skill-less n00b who HO'd them from their Spitfire.  :lol :lol

If you were trying what Kazaa seems to think you were trying, you missed the whole point of my post, BTW. Nice FAIL. The whole point of this game is to kill the other guy. Being a "dick" to the enemy is kinda the point. If it's against the rules to do what the OP described, where do you draw the line?

Post by: coombz on August 17, 2011, 08:54:40 AM
I wasn't really 'trying' to do anything...just saw you listing dickish behaviour and added the one that you missed, which always seems the most dickish of the whole bunch to me :)

 :rofl :rofl

Not at all! I limit my 200 "whining" to taunting runners and laughing at BnZers who miss on repeated passes and then flying away instead of staying to fight. I gave up "crying" on 200 a long time ago because thinking that squads full of players who revel in dweebish behavior are somehow gonna change that behavior after someone criticizes that behavior is, well, insane!  :)

I have fun on 200 now, and crying isn't part of that.  :aok
