Title: This community is toxic...you ALL need to understand this
Post by: FESS67 on March 05, 2016, 11:25:36 PM
Guys,

I just had the most unpleasant exchange in the MA.  I cannot believe this community is so insular / short sighted. 

l like to fly the P51.  I will turn with you.

Tonight I was abused for doing that.......I am nothing but a picktard....<sigh>  I turned with the 38 for maybe 3 turns.....got him and was then hammered by his support.

I was a picktard........MY GOD GUYS.

LOL  you know, as I write this and try to compose it properly I realise...I give up.  I really do.

YOU....the PLAYERS... are killing this game.  My Lord I am so angry right now but there is no real way to make you guys understand it.  I flew the F6F the other day, I got respect....lol.  same person...actually the same moves, just tighter....

BBS rules prevent me from naming players........YOU know who you are.  I suggest you alter your attitude to players.  It is really not helpful.  Build the game not destroy it.

I realized that internet "communities" were toxic back in the 1990s. About the exact same time that I realized internet communities aren't reality.

The world is full of people who have yet to realize that internet communities aren't real. TYFM Zuckerberg.

I was thinking about posting a similar topic when I loged off but laziness and alcohol got the better of me. I agree, unfortunately it seems the jerks tend to be more vocal, but I still believe that decent folk tend to compose the majority of the community.

FESS67 let me ask you this, if it was AI programmed to talk smack would it bother you and make you as angry? I'd venture to say that it would not. Why? Because you wouldn't take it personally. Which brings us to my next point.

You're taking things that happen in a video game personally. Let that sink in.

I'm not saying this to belittle you, I'm saying this because I hope that it can offer you a new perspective where from you can enjoy MMOL games more.

This community has been this way for quite a while. It takes thick skin and remembering it is just a game. I saw the banter tonight and you did stoke the fire a bit. People are quick to jump into those kind of 200 arguments. So it's squelch them or get thicker skin.

How to avoid cross-country childish junk measuring:

Step 1: /.squelch 200

(there are no further steps)

[Regrettably, you can't squelch range.) ;)

Some great advice in this thread.  AH banter / smacktalk is quite pedestrian in the grand scheme of things.  People are always going to moan about how you just put them in the tower.   Grow some thicker skin or de tune 200 if you cant help but react to idiotic comments.   Im guilty of engaging with them sometimes usually if I have had a bad day.  Just be secure in the knowledge that if you went to the da mano mano they would get beat stupid!

What? No!
Talking smack on 200 is an important aspect of the game. The more preposterous the accusations the more amusing they are. If one is not proficient in the ways of the banter, a good way to start is to acknowledge every idiotic accusation thrown at you and even enhace it. Hilarity ensues.

Please don't detune ch200 or conduct your banter in private - share it with us! Some of us fly planes that can't even break 2500 fpm in a climb and it is a long climb to our lofty perch at 7000 feet. We need entertainment on the way!

I can relate to this sentiment. I've been on both ends of the toxicity - something I'm not necessarily proud of - and though as usual I'm learning slowly, I do believe I'm learning. What I'm learning... STFU. If you don't want to engage in childish banter, just don't. If someone calls you out on 200 or in PMs, don't respond. And if you can't help but respond, think about just tuning out 200 for good. And, of course, by all means, don't start a discussion on 200 you don't want to commit to. One comment made to the wrong person may spawn a day's worth of constant jabs back at you.

The squelch is your friend. Use it liberally.

With some players it's fun to give each other good-natured grief. Others not-so-much. Learning who is who takes time I guess.

Of course I practice the advice I just gave rarely, but like I said I'm learning :lol: It's a work in progress

I think people used to just switch sides and shoot down the folks that get on their nerves.

It's always been that way, someone will always be complaining/telling you how to fly.

They are called TARGETS.   :cheers:

It happens here, it happened in Air Warrior. It happens on the basketball court, it happens on the volleyball court when I play even today.

The best way to deal is to just keep winning and respond with a thumbs up or a smile or a positive comment. Then go back and win again. 

Picktard..... Hell yes, when I can.  Gang a guy as a squad, hell yes, it's not the DA.

I still monitor 200 after all these years because it makes me laugh to see the silliness that goes on between people.   To see the old guys go back and forth like they have for years, thick skinned and making fun of each other.   Or to salute Laser for again whooping my butt in whatever...

Lastly, it's a game. So what.

De tune 200 and lower the expectations seems like the only answer, its when I expect more that getting less hurts the most, last night a simple request, two 190's alone between bases (expectations high for a good like bird fight) along comes a SPIT 5 of all things, I ask him to stay out, went downhill from there.  I logged

You may THING your turning with your pony, but to the "turny types" you aren't even close  :D

You fly the pony like your suppose to, keep it fast, use high yoyo to maintain speed but "turn" back on your enemy and so on. This pisses people off because you do it well. Much like Rocky, Mark4 and a number of others you fly the plane to it's strengths and you stick to it. This makes you very hard to beat and so pisses people off.

On top of that you have a reputation. You flew and were "buddies" with one of the most hated players that ever played the game in Skyrr. That pisses people off. You yourself are vocal on 200, not as bad as Skyrr but you do come close at times.

Is this fair that people give you two strikes right off the bat? No, not really, but it is human nature these days. Its how the internet works with the whole no accountability thing. Heck this whole next generation is being brought up that way  :rolleyes:

Bottom line, is you don't want crap thrown at you, don't throw any crap. If your going to smack talk you can certainly expect to get some back. The arena is only as toxic as you can make it. Add more BS to 200 and it builds. I work hard at keeping my mouth shut.... and fail miserably some days, but I try. If you feel like your on the edge of popping off, detune 200 for a bit, or just squelch to guy that is pushing you towards that edge. I have a few that get squelched as soon as I see them in the text buffer. They don't even have to be talking to me, I just don't care what they have to say any more, they have proven themselves idiots and so are squelched just so I can enjoy the game.

You have to have a bit of thick skin if you want to be competive in this game. I've been here for over 10 years and it has never changed. Whether it be on the MA or boards, the community is small and you come across the same people over and over again, unlike other online games.

For the most part, if you want to be liked, you have to admit you are an easy kill and that you don't take it seriously, and you just laugh your way to your death everytime. If you actually attempt to be good at this game, you can expect some flak by other players on the reg. In the past 10 years, I've sure became much better at smack talk and arguments. I'm not afraid to voice my opinions on 200 but I never include anyone's names in my comments. Most of the people who talk crap to me learn real quickly not to. Most of the time, I tell players who PM about cheating or whatever, that I've played for a long time and know how many of planes fly their absolute strength. Normally they change their tone and start asking questions on how to actually get better.
Most people are afraid to learn to get better.
Most people who talk crap really aren't that good and thus only have their ego to inflate themselves.
If you cannot learn to be tougher, or to manipulate an argument into something funny, or a learning experience, than you just need to work on your competive smack talk and people won't banter you as much.


You know what the #1 thing that limits people from getting better? They are too affraid to die over and over again in close quarter fights, really learning the strenghts of their planes agaisnt others, and instead BnZ with 2 kills after an an hour long sortie.

and there is not one single individual that has posted in this thread, not talked smack ...one time or another....not got in an argument in the game on any public channel one time or another...

Screw all this thick skin crap and everyone over thinking this BS...it's the internet

1. Most of you "veterans" talk smack and when you get it back...you cry "chest thumping"...

2. There are ways to fly this game that some say are "to a planes strength" when it's actually just being overly timid and you can normally tell these guys by their K/D-K/T...13K/D but 4 Kills per hour....yea your a little girl who doesn't actually know how to fly

3. If you don't like talking a little smack talk....don't talk it......IF your afraid to actually back it up in a 1v1, your a hypocrit and shouldn't talk it at all. That's why I respect types like J0ker and Sawzaw....they will dish it out and back it up....all the tools who smack talk then won't DA (One of them is preaching in this thread) or give a real fight are the real problem on 200....you can either want to play competitive or STFU.


Fess,
Other day I met etoh at 20K My TA152 vs Spit 16....I did not turn with him and the fight lasted about 8 minutes, he was doing extremely long extends and not being aggressive at all to go for kill while I was BnZing him. After I killed him I gave him a "Nice Flying" on 200...his response "Good Fight, died because I was getting bored" in which I responded " :) "

This little jab was funny to me and kind of goes with what Bruv said...If we would have switched planes, I would have killed him in HALF the time....so he was really a non factor.

Also him diving after all my BnZ attempts(which should have hit but there is something wrong with my aim right now....been playing too many other games) is what actually made that fight boring....(Was kind of like fighting those guys who just split S every pass....split s to avoid a higher con is the WORSE advice I've seen a trainer give before)

People are going to have something to say to explain away suckage.....the only time it's fine is when it's you correcting your own flying "Dangit my aim is terrible" "Stalled it at the top"....all other times it's just pathetic and an easy opening for people like me to get them going on 200.

Don't worry about it bro....keep up the fight, less and less that actually like fighting in here

Far from a hypocrite.  Never pm'd a single player that was never a compliment and I sure as hell never berated someone on vox or text.   I played to have fun.   The farthest I would go would have been if someone hatched an idiotic "master plan" that even other players would disagree with.  I would say; "uhh no, let's try A & B first".   If you never winged me or flew with me, then you do not know me.   Hell, I had a squad co instruct his minions to turn on me, even after I applauded their squadron in the squadrons page in the forum.   The post is still there and days after the previous had happened, without provocation.  I was told by a squaddie of theirs of what went down and he was pissed off when he realized, I never did anything to them.

Ball busting?   All day long.   

In here?   I never went out of way to argue, nor do I recall an "argument".   I never played this game with a chip on my shoulder.   Players like FlyingFin, drdeathx and others would outright drop f bomb after f bomb on vox.   Films would be submitted and they would always do the same thing for years.   But some how everyone would make excuses for them, which enabled their behavior.

That is probably because he was banned from the BBS and I am unsure if that translates to him quitting or exiting the game as well.   It went on for about four years with him.   He would straight up berate the greenest of players and most of the time.  I would already be filming and then try to jot the time down, to send it in after I would log off for the night.   I would also make it a point to pm the player he was berating.  Then try to let him know that Fin does it often and used to be one of the nicest folks in the game and seemed to just snap a while back.   I would ask them what happened and try to encourage them to brush it off and try alternative methods next time.   Also to squelch him from that point forward.   It is unknown how many players as a result of that type of crap.   But Fin and Nursex were simply dicks.  But many loved them for it, which speaks volumes of the community.

Karaya,
I will say your definitely one of the more easy going respectful people in Aces High but I know for sure I've seen you go off on 200.....forget which hacker it was but you were going off on 200, which is what most hackers want is a reaction which you gave. Point is EVERYONE has bad days and accidents may happen....TC is right, at some point we all go a bit over board.

Only time I ever went on 200 about a hacker was when I asked if a moderator was on and finally someone stepped up (never did divulge who he was as he requested it) as others were swearing on 200 outright.  That would have been Maq in a PT Boat and around 2006/maybe 7.   I am unsure if you were even playing at that point.   Frankly, I have only encountered three hacks in 12 years.   FireHwk, pellik (although no one knew it at the time) and Maq (forget his H2H handle).   But no, I never gave those types the attention they craved, nor the constant stream of shades folks would come up with.   

There is a thick line between a bad day and bad years.   I don't make excuses for them as easy as some will.

Guys,

I just had the most unpleasant exchange in the MA.

You are fess in the MA correct?

Let me correct your post: "You are toxic" (as in you fess).

I've rarely seen someone blither on so much non-stop on 200. Plenty of people are having fun without seeking constant attention.

Just noticed you're an aussie... that also explains A LOT.

type to Bulldog, some text designed to belittle him after you'd insinuated yourself
into a 2v1 fight he was in with 2x190s where you managed to shoot him down.
  Good for you. You got a kill. Don't rub some guy's nose in it after you were "the third
man in" and expect a standing ovation from me.
  I'll stay "toxic"; you stay condscending.

I have been around and seen both of them flying AH, and I don't think I have found anyone that could possibly be drawn to"their side" because of those shenanigans. Much of that nonsense in those high doses drive people away, leaving them having to fly alone. I can honestly say that they were my favoured victories, and I am sure I am not alone.

You are fess in the MA correct?
.

Just noticed you're an aussie... that also explains A LOT.

Just a bit personal Tiger? No matter.

Ive met Fess. He's a nice guy. But his AH "persona" maybe presents  that he is wound up too tight. It's the same all over. Most crew get a little "badder" behind a keyboard a joystick and a made up eight character name. Anonymity emboldens. There's not that many true  knobs pretending to be fighter plane heroes.

But to be noticed one has to cultivate badness. And now there  are too many "bad fish" in an ever shrinking pond. Puffing your chest in a computer game is as uncool as it gets. Add a developer spending time censoring normal conversation and all the ingredients for resentment are present. Sad.

Play nic6.

Screw all this thick skin crap and everyone over thinking this BS...it's the internet

1. Most of you "veterans" talk smack and when you get it back...you cry "chest thumping"...

2. There are ways to fly this game that some say are "to a planes strength" when it's actually just being overly timid and you can normally tell these guys by their K/D-K/T...13K/D but 4 Kills per hour....yea your a little girl who doesn't actually know how to fly

3. If you don't like talking a little smack talk....don't talk it......IF your afraid to actually back it up in a 1v1, your a hypocrit and shouldn't talk it at all. That's why I respect types like J0ker and Sawzaw....they will dish it out and back it up....all the tools who smack talk then won't DA (One of them is preaching in this thread) or give a real fight are the real problem on 200....you can either want to play competitive or STFU.


Fess,
Other day I met etoh at 20K My TA152 vs Spit 16....I did not turn with him and the fight lasted about 8 minutes, he was doing extremely long extends and not being aggressive at all to go for kill while I was BnZing him. After I killed him I gave him a "Nice Flying" on 200...his response "Good Fight, died because I was getting bored" in which I responded " :) "

This little jab was funny to me and kind of goes with what Bruv said...If we would have switched planes, I would have killed him in HALF the time....so he was really a non factor.

Also him diving after all my BnZ attempts(which should have hit but there is something wrong with my aim right now....been playing too many other games) is what actually made that fight boring....(Was kind of like fighting those guys who just split S every pass....split s to avoid a higher con is the WORSE advice I've seen a trainer give before)

People are going to have something to say to explain away suckage.....the only time it's fine is when it's you correcting your own flying "Dangit my aim is terrible" "Stalled it at the top"....all other times it's just pathetic and an easy opening for people like me to get them going on 200.

Don't worry about it bro....keep up the fight, less and less that actually like fighting in here
I agree with much of what you said, except the bolded part.  The DA, and a duel requires a specific set of skills.  It's very possible to have a high degree of success in the MA, but stink in the DA.  This is just my opinion, others are free to think differently. 

To the OP, the best way to handle a griefer is to ignore them, or thank them for their thoughts then ignore them, and their mouth.  Squelch if necessary.  Taught to me when I was young, there's only one person that can give you permission to piss you off, and that's yourself. 

Trolls feed on the reaction.  Don't give them one, and they go away disappointed.  When it comes to internet hero's, the only winning move is to play...

I never tune 200 and rarely get toxic PMs, so this may be a bit off topic but....

It seems to me that rants about imagined cheats and hacks on Country channel can't be making a very good impression on newbies.
I'd suggest that those who think someone is cheating gather whatever evidence they can and submit it to HTC privately, and try to make the
game as inviting as possible to new players -- who will do more to improve your score than the "cheater" who killed you.

YMMV

Get enough people together, there's going to be some you don't get along with.  As has been mentioned: thicker skin, .squelch, .report if they're being abusive and that bothers you, don't talk crap if you can't handle it being dished back.

With as small as this game is, it does tend to make it more personal because you tend to see the same names more often.

Heh- small anecdote.  The latest COD had a free weekend a couple weeks ago.  I'd never played any of those games, thought I'd give it a go.  In a lot of places, COD type games are held up as a sterling example of community toxicity.

In the entire weekend, out of the maybe couple hundred people I played with, I saw one person I'd label as "toxic".  The rest just shut up and killed each other.

That Sunday night, I logged into here and in the space of ten minutes saw about a half dozen people slinging mud of some kind on 200.  That really shocked me.

I was shocked too.  I think another factor was, and forgive my terminology not being right, can't remember what they were called, but there appeared to be open pickup games, and more serious games.  I stayed in the pickup area, where it looked to me like most of the free weekenders were as well.  They might not have even figured out chat in there.

I can easily imagine the more "serious" side would've been where the nastiness would come out more.

It just really made me chuckle that supposedly one of the worst places on the net, I never saw anything bad, while here I did almost immediately.

Simply squelch the player you don't want to hear or read their text and move on.  Rise above it.  Be helpful to players (particularly new players) and help build a better community.  If everyone squelched the abusive smack talkers, they would find themselves talking to the wind.  The tools HTC has given the players are simple and easy to implement.   Heck, I squelch squad members sometimes!

Guys,

I just had the most unpleasant exchange in the MA.  I cannot believe this community is so insular / short sighted. 

l like to fly the P51.  I will turn with you.

Tonight I was abused for doing that.......I am nothing but a picktard....<sigh>  I turned with the 38 for maybe 3 turns.....got him and was then hammered by his support.

I was a picktard........MY GOD GUYS.

LOL  you know, as I write this and try to compose it properly I realise...I give up.  I really do.

YOU....the PLAYERS... are killing this game.  My Lord I am so angry right now but there is no real way to make you guys understand it.  I flew the F6F the other day, I got respect....lol.  same person...actually the same moves, just tighter....

BBS rules prevent me from naming players........YOU know who you are.  I suggest you alter your attitude to players.  It is really not helpful.  Build the game not destroy it.

Many are overly competitive. Fight pilot stuff attracs those kinds of people. Seek those in the community that are an assett to your game experience. Squelch the rest. Your fun factor and play satisfaction will increase exponentially.  :salute

enjoy...

This is a game...you should treat it as such...a game...

If you run your mouth...and get called out on it...its best not to run to the boards and cry about toxic environments...

CH.200 is awesome...there are some here that need to detune it so they don't get their feelings hurt...

Matter of fact ...I would like to be a fly on the wall around some of the people that play this game...I imagine some of them with their feet up in their computer chair with there arms around their knees rocking quickly back and forth saying "its only a game...its only a game"   :cry :cry  :ahand

I consider 200 the salute channel and the comedy channel. unless im saying hi to someone on the other side, it laugh at most of whats on there. I never take it or anything in the game too seriously, and ive never been pm'ed about anything short of "lets attack base ##".

then again, I don't say to much, or type too much. I think no matter where you are, or what you do, if its computer based, someone will have something to say about it.

just ignore them or laugh at them. life is too short for anything else!

  THIS^^^^


  Nothing worse than shadow boxing,you never beat the other guy and you just tire yourself out!


  I tune 200 when in the MA,admittedly it's not often these days,but the only thing I do with it is to say hello to old friends on the other sides.

  I wont respond to pm's or to 200 rants,it's easy for me to ignore these things.

  The toxic nature actually made it not fun for me at a certain time and I all but quit flying the mains,the last few times I have it's seemed that there is less smack talk than before,just a few very vocal players in the crowd.


 Something to think about,the ranters are usually in the tower when they go off,I dont hear dead people very well! :devil

To be noticed by whom? We're here to play, not go on some sort of ego trip - that is what facebook is for.

He tried to label an entire community as toxic. I find AH an awesome community in general and very mature.

He does remind me of the Aussie cricket team. They are renouned for being bad sports, in particular 'sledging'. Recently they were given a taste of this back in a series against NZ. Well oh my was there some crying, and stomping of feet. Seems they couldn't take even a fraction of what they typically dish out.

If you're going to trash talk on 200 be prepared for some to come right back at you.

If you come on the BBS then trashtalk the entire community the same applies.

I don't understand this 'AH persona' business, if you have multiple personas online or offline you are either a wannabe actor or a nutcase. If you are either of these you'd be better off trying your luck in Hollywood. We're just here to play the game.

My real question, "why the drama?"

As noted, it's a video game. It won't help you get girls. It won't put money in your pocket. It won't even put g-loads on your mass.

Toxic? I think not. Enjoy the nice interplay. Where else can you get this kind of thrill so cheaply? It's virtual life and death and a cheap source of intensity of feeling. Just don't mistake it for real life. That would be an error in thinking.

As for internet forums, yes, people behave as if they can't be touched... because they sort of can't be. It all just comes with the turf.

So I've heard (amazing, isn't it?). If this was for something like THAT, I could see people taking it a good deal more seriously.

I also recognize that nobody comes in here wanting to be a sucky cartoon pilot. That's just healthy.

Unless someone starts it on 200, it's like any other channel, well behaved. If you walk into a bar and spit in some random guy's drink, you will get a fight. So 200 is the sanctioned spit in people's drink channel to round up all the toxic weenies in one spot to MOD them. And lots of guys with nothing better to do like watching other guys hissy fit at each other with the off chance a MOD will elevate the drama. MODS know where the dorks are and the nice folks can ignore them while they hissy fit on their own toxic channel.

It's better than some 10 year old's mother seeing or hearing it on range.

I think the solution is to have channel 201 proclaimed as the new "safe space".  Trigger warnings will be mandatory before any typed comments made on this channel.  Micro Aggressions will not be tolerated on "Safe/201".  Every player on Safe/201 will have moderator powers.

We have nothing to lose but our chains.

I think the solution is to have channel 201 proclaimed as the new "safe space".  Trigger warnings will be mandatory before any typed comments made on this channel.  Micro Aggressions will not be tolerated on "Safe/201".  Every player on Safe/201 will have moderator powers.

We have nothing to lose but our chains.
Everyone needs a safe zone!
Safest place being 200 of someone's tail blasting them to smithereens :joystick:

There comes a time when you stop caring what people think....especially on the internet. I was online when that was happening Fess...sometimes you just gotta let it go and not give a crap what others say. I left the game last year because I was getting fed up with it. I hated the toxic atmosphere, mostly surrounding Skyrr...not really BECAUSE of my personal interactions with skyrr, but because of how everyone reacted to him and EVERY single time i would log in, he would be arguing with someone new every night. Did he deserve all the hate? I dont know, but he did bring it on himself because he had the biggest ego/mouth ive ever seen in a video game. He just HAD to be right. Its a shame because he was an excellent player. Seeing that every night just kind of turned me off to the game. I came back because other things in life made me realize that this game means absolutely nothing. I get the same negative attention as you do for flying planes that are not "approved" by the AH elite...i just dont care anymore.When people PM me now or question why I fly a certain plane, I just either ignore them or have fun with it.  I know what brings me the most joy and since thats the whole point of the game, thats what I am going to strive for. If that gets someone mad at me...eff em. If you cant let things slide off your back, you are going to spend a lot of time arguing on 200. I am very guilty of doing that in the past, but every day I make a concerted effort to bite my tongue. You may wanna try that and see how that works. I had a good time winging with you the other day. You seem like a good guy. If you dont get drawn into battles on 200, I think youll have a much better time in game.

I remember a long time ago when I caught Fester climbing over a mountain in a heavy P47 and I had a 5k advantage in a lite Typhoon. I dove down and at 400 yards I took what I thought was a kill shot. He barreled and as soon as he disappeared out of my gun sight I naturally went vertical with a >250 mph smash advantage. That sucker shot me in the butt like I was a one legged tranny. You never know who has the mad skills in AH and when you get owned like that the best you can do is send a (S) to whoever did it to you and hope you have learned from the experience. No smack talk from me since I got owned and Fester just returned my (S) without further comment. Those were the good old days!

the world is not toxic, people are. people think because they can hide behind a computer screen, they can
say anything they want. some people have anger issues with a game and probably anything else in their
lives so they pm someone that got the better of them and give them a ration of "bad word".  the person
on the receiving end has no idea who that person is, other then call sign "any name".

but...... if they were sitting in a room together playing the same game, id be willing to bet that the person
doing the PM's would never have the balls to do it face to face.

people need to understand that in our world of computer anonymity, these are the kinds of things we have to live with.
you have 2 choices, you can just ignore it, or you get let it bother you. 
the people that PM you, this is what they're like: 

so next time you get a nasty PM, just realize that the person doing it, is just like the ones in the video.
just my 2 cents <S>

  While I agree with you I have to say when a player VOX pm's you and screams in your ear you just cant squelch them fast enough.

   I have never understood why cross country vox pm's are allowed. Text pm's as easy to ignore I rarely read or even see the text buffer but the same cant be said about the vox side.

You may THING your turning with your pony, but to the "turny types" you aren't even close  :D

You fly the pony like your suppose to, keep it fast, use high yoyo to maintain speed but "turn" back on your enemy and so on. This pisses people off because you do it well. Much like Rocky, Mark4 and a number of others you fly the plane to it's strengths and you stick to it. This makes you very hard to beat and so pisses people off.

On top of that you have a reputation. You flew and were "buddies" with one of the most hated players that ever played the game in Skyrr. That pisses people off. You yourself are vocal on 200, not as bad as Skyrr but you do come close at times.

Is this fair that people give you two strikes right off the bat? No, not really, but it is human nature these days. Its how the internet works with the whole no accountability thing. Heck this whole next generation is being brought up that way  :rolleyes:

Bottom line, is you don't want crap thrown at you, don't throw any crap. If your going to smack talk you can certainly expect to get some back. The arena is only as toxic as you can make it. Add more BS to 200 and it builds. I work hard at keeping my mouth shut.... and fail miserably some days, but I try. If you feel like your on the edge of popping off, detune 200 for a bit, or just squelch to guy that is pushing you towards that edge. I have a few that get squelched as soon as I see them in the text buffer. They don't even have to be talking to me, I just don't care what they have to say any more, they have proven themselves idiots and so are squelched just so I can enjoy the game.   

Rocky has zero skill.   All he does is run.   When I kill him it just means he dies tired.    I remember shooting parts off him for three sectors.  One ping at a time.   It was hilarious.

Fess is 1000x the pilot Rocky is.   Comparing them is an insult.

Sorry, you are completely wrong. Rocky has his own style and he is very good at it. It is just the 'you have to play my way crowd' that make such rash and uninformed judgements about other players, some of which have been playing for getting close to 20 years. Don't be one of those ignorants.

one of the things I've learned about this game is that its easy to dislike someone you don't know. its when you get to know them, things change and it gets a little nicer and kinder and more respectful. case and point: shifty and I were mortal enemies, on the boards and in the game. after I was made a CM of the AVA, they brought in Shifty. I freaked, but then one day he called me up, and we sat and talked. we talked about the game, we talked about life, we talked about our likes and dislikes. after that I would consider him one of my friends! it was that easy.

I was brought up to be respectful of people and always give them the benefit of the doubt. I'm glad I was, otherwise I might have missed an opportunity.

The game isn't toxic, the only thing that is toxic is just a few vocal players that attempt to compensate for 'other failings'.

Eventually the vast majority of players grow up and give back to the community in some fashion. Some never learn and get banned because they take the game so seriously they can't act like decent human beings.

This individuals are probably labeled by Skuzzy as 'job security'.

Vraciu didn't get banned, did he? He's not active in the current tour and he's bragging on the boards about flying rich guys around in Africa and being too busy being important to fly the game right now but ..... was he?  :cool:

He was "persona non grata" on the forums for a while.  I guess he paid his penance. Happily, the ignore button still works...

Vraciu - You "wrecked" AkAk in the DA?  Did this happen the same day you told me on 200 that you make consistent head shots at 1000 yards with your iron sighted M1A, while flying 4 different Warbirds owned by your friends?  I want some of whatever you're taking.

Every online gaming community is like this, and usually a lot worse. Just don't let it get to you and laugh it off. The younger generations that are joining us are already well adapted to such "toxic" environments.  :aok

Regardless of how Rocky plays the game, I've never seen him beat his chest on the forums. Not in two years and not in 20 years.

Yep, Rocky has always been a pretty good sport, regardless if he wins or loses...and I've don't remember him ever being a "chest thumper"....Rocky pretty much has good game etiquette all around...

Lol.   Yeah.  That's why I have killed you in all three of our most recent encounters and also wrecked you in the DA.   :rofl

The only kill you have on me was in Tour 192 when you shot down my B-25H and you never "wrecked" me in the DA.  The only time we went to the DA was about a year or so ago and you got your arse handed back to you. 

It's foolish for you to try and lie about what an experten you are when it is very easy to check the game stats to prove you're just pathetic.

That's not really the point my friend. But I can see my minimal attempt at cultivating a more understanding, a less 'toxic' environment, is falling on deaf ears. Carry on being awesome everyone.  :cheers:

Yeah, cuz he does it on 200.   He went after Fess not too long ago.  It was not cool and the community let him have it. 

But whatever. 

It is a game.  Have fun with it.   :salute

It's foolish for you to try and lie about what an experten you are when it is very easy to check the game stats to prove you're just pathetic.


When it was 38 vs 38 you got me five times in a row.  I freely admit that.  (In our last 38 matchup I shot you all to heck because I was finally learning how to fly it.  Guess you forgot that.) But when it was 190 vs 38 and 190 vs 190 you got clobbered.  Heck, I whipped you when I was flying YOUR ride (which I never even bother with) and you were flying mine (Dora).  So please don't act like you're an experten with some license to lecture me.  At best you're MARGINALLY better in your P-38 against me in a P-51D.  You're a dangerous opponent in the 38. Nobody disputes this.   However, let's remember in our DA duels we had fun, shook hands and went back to the Main on good terms.  Deny these facts all you like, but you know better.

It was a good experience and I learned a lot.  I suspect next time I will do even better since I have picked up on a thing or two since.

Also, I am not an expert but I am improving.  It takes time to master this game, and more fail at mastery than succeed.  I will keep trying.  I am having a blast.

Declare: "ever who opposes me is tha emmaknee", acknowledge that Zack made the summary point on this one (as he put it, "what a load of kak") and make damn sure the Pilate washes his hands - and seals his fate.

This thread is just the MA of words - and I'll fight to defend that opinion.

You're living in a different reality or you've been hitting the bottle pretty hard lately.  We've only dueled once and it was 3 duels P-38J vs. P-51D, which you lost.  That was the only time we've dueled, we never dueled P-38 vs. P-38 (you would have had your arse handed back to you, like skyyr if we had) nor FW 190 vs. FW 190.  No need to make stories that try and make you look good, anyone that has run into you knows the opposite.

Nice to meet you, Minister Goebbels. 



Have to save face in front of your friends I see.


You got destroyed--and you know it--once you had to fly a non-38.   But whatever it takes to keep up the facade.     :rolleyes:

And btw, having fought Skyyr 1000 times in the DA, you're not even the smallest fraction as skilled as he is.  Or was.  Or whatever.

Your ineptitude in the Dora was laughable.  I wondered if you had even flown it before for me to kill you in my -38 so easily.
