Title: winning graciously
Post by: caldera on September 06, 2015, 03:09:21 PM
Some people haven't figured it out.

Here I am, all alone (in a P-40C, mind you) in enemy territory and got attacked by Ben Affleck's love child in a 152.  After a half dozen weak "Hail Mary" passes, a P-51 comes in to tag team but ends up augering.  Eventually, the 152 finally lands one from the tard chucker and proceeds in an unprovoked attack on my person:

Love the abrupt end to the conversation.  <crickets>  :)

How about losing graciously? All you had to do is enjoy the fact that you got a fight and ignore his first PM...but then I guess there wouldn't have been any reason to post the drama here on the BBS...

If he hadn't been so rude to send that PM, I wouldn't have felt the need.  Justice has been served.  Besides, this board needs the drama.

The community has decreased in size but sadly this kind of attitude is on the rise. For some, showing any class is a wasted effort. As one player told me, "I don't care about class, I'm here to make myself happy." This came from the same group that told me in an event, "We are here to get kills, don't get in our way."

As I said recently, any one can learn the game and improve but you can't teach someone good character.

Well said.

Too many brainless dolts playing these days who care nothing about making the game better for everyone.

I remember just after I started playing getting bawled out by someone in the DA for hoing. He then took the time to explain arena etiquette and give me a few pointers. That was Nrshida. We have become firm friends since then and regularly attended 'breakfast club' in the DA with some fantastic fair fights and banter. Sadly nowadays nobody seems to want to accept advice.

If class was required there'd be a stat page for it!  :old:



Joking aside, WTG Snuggie!! Show them uber planes that the real beasts are the 30+ eny ones!  :devil

I would give anything to be back in the air with these tards!! Hopefully my new house will have reliable internet.  I remember this player. Pretty sure I got some PMs from him as well!!

And it gets old! Well said. None of this makes for good game play.

It's a shame that there are a few who should have never got off the shortbus.  The Joker's Chokers have always been full of this type of player and it's not unexpected behavior.  Ignore them and fly on Snuggie!  :aok

P40s are a tasty treat for an I16............but they usually show up in groups because a squad decided to up them for the novelty.

Most co's in general.   HamrDown apparently has an affinity to want more out of life, but settles for morally bankrupt.

I had a guy once I caught on climbout, him in a TA152 at 15,000ft doing about 150IAS, me in a Tempest at 18,000ft doing 420IAS on full burn.  His defensive manoeuvre was a near vertical dive down to around 10,000ft and pull up into a 45 degree climb.....at which point the Tempest caught him and his plane suddenly found itself full of 20mm holes.

Over ch200 came:  "How did you do that?"

Me:  "er.....do what?"

Him: "Shoot me down, how?"

Me (very confused at the question):  "Er, well you were on climbout and I had a 3,000ft alt advantage and was doing 420."

Him: "Even so, you shouldn't have been able to do that.  I was in a TA152."

Me:  "Yeah, I was in a Tempest."

Him: "Yes, I can READ you know.  I want to know what you've edited to allow you to do those kind of manoeuvre."


???? WTF?

Didnt reply but.....if you know I was in a tempest and now it's been explained I had a MASSIVE E advantage before we started.....how is it you don't realise why you got shot down and somehow think I'm cheating?

Divvy.  Just ignore the idiots who believe the Top Gun slam-on-the-brakes-and-he'll-fly-right-by manoeuvre actually works.

That is the only sure-fire way to be a leet #1 ace.  It was supposed to be a closely guarded secret, though.   :noid

Yes, you do.  :salute

You're not the only one.  Just about every 110C sortie of late has ended in absolute disaster.    :bhead

I'd rather have some Rudel pedals than rudder pedals. Otherwise, somewhere a village is missing an idiot. They come and go. The game goes on.

Considering how much I die I'm surprised I never got any taunting. For winning maybe once in a blue moon. I have come across at least 2 players who I genuinely think are mentally ill and think someone is controlling their computer. I figure there are a few genuine bullies in the game who exhalt in the facelessness of it, or maybe its just where their bad side is allowed to come out, but I figure cryptic short messages aren't going to change that. And then, at one point there were the children, I remember getting pm three times about not returning a salute while I was in the middle of a furball, all I could think was of an eight year olds voice getting more and more strident "I want a pony I want a pony, wahhhhh, daddy doesn't love me" yeesh. All in all it makes the good pms and the good fights seem all the sweeter.
