With our numbers falling, the responsibility of the gameplay “in” the main arena rests with each and everyone of us.
What I’ve been witnessing the last 6 months is veteran players of Aces High taking more enjoyment out of upsetting other players on Ch200, more that actually playing the sim.
I know a lot of players in game, think ole crappy is some sort of salamander, but ironically, I am anything but….but I am different than most that choose to fly AH….as I enjoy playing the sim, in a tactical manner. Thinking out missions, devising ways to trick the enemy…etc.
Even these forums. I have not posted here in a long long time….because anytime you ask a simple question in the FOURMS…..these dysfunctional player lurk here on the fourms, they simply never offer any positive input to the question. Actually…they take it to a nasty level, that it mades one not want to participate here either.
Last night I switched to Bish. I do this regularly, by my choice, to give me closer access to the Knit front lines. When I see where ex-RookCv25 was hidden, I repositioned it to a better location. The move was less that 1/2 a sector….on a hidden CV 8 sectors deep. The moment that I repositioned CV25, Osmium flipped out and preceded to attack my character and intent. He rallied the Bish and convinced them I was being malicious. Ironically….Osmium comes over to Rook almost daily, and is free to move CVs.
The behaviour of some of the BISH players last night was disgusting. Here we are….players that have games together for year, and still….a few toxic players keep ruining the sim and intentionally trying to discredit other veteran players of the sim. This IS the stuff that makes people not even want to log in.
We are core community now. We don’t have 1200 droolies flying around. I’ve been playing and contributing to this sim 23 years….but unless Dale deals with these toxic, personally attacking players….i will be joining the other 1100 that left.
This place is ALL what WE make it it. Please don’t let the dysfunctionals ruin it for everyone.

Take your own advice. Don't let them ruin it for you. Do your thing and enjoy what you do. Simple, easy, enjoyable. Quit reading the screen and just listen to that engine hum.

Agreed!
Stay off 200. Do people say stuff about me on there lol? I can only imagine the #%*?!#* I get haha. There are 8 billion people on this marble, some of them just suck and that’s that.
Play for you and the people in the game you enjoy. I don’t agree with all of 99’s ideas but I enjoy the way he plays the game mostly.

I was openly called a spy on range vox by a high ranking gv'er because I decided to up a GV and try to defend a V base and they never seen my name before.
-
I agree that there are some "loose cannons" in the game. For me I just ignore them. That doesnt solve the issue of them running roughshod over others. I wish HTC could have MODs on atleast for the US prime time everyday. With MODs stepping in more often it certainly would curb some of this. I know in the old days I could get "excitable" when HOed too many times now Im much better at letting it go and just play the game.If it gets to the point that Im not having fun, I just log off.
I agree with Shuff, ignore them and play the way you want to play, but Id still like to see HTC had some MODs step in more often.
-
We should NOT have to leave ch200, because a FEW cannot separate decency and fair gameplay. Everyone here agreed to do that….signing up. Why anyone would think that it’s ok to bypass the “basic” rules of civil gameplay.
I am not de-tuning 200. Spoke with Dale today, and on several other occasions on this topic….and there is NO doubt in my mind that Dale does not support this kind of behaviour on coms. That is why he has Mods, but unfortunately they’re not always online.
I plan on doing something about this. I have 23 years invested in this sim, and there is NO WAY I am permitting a few….to ruin it for a lot.

For you spending over $4,000.00 of your own money over 23 years, I would sure hope you wouldn't have to deal with this. But you do.

.squelch is your friend

Dude.. you were spewing spy crap on 200 within the last 48 hours..
Really?????

I was there and an effort was made to drag me into this last night. I still don't understand what the fuss was about. By the way, what is your game name? I ask because one of the players involved is arguably one of the most toxic players on Bish country channel.

There’s about 8 people who harm to the game in ways that counter any effort made to regrow numbers.
2-3 on bbs
4-5 on 200
If the hammer isn’t slammed down we will continue to have wasted efforts. Sweeping it under the rug and just ignoring it has had almost zero effects.
It only helps an individual, the damage is still done.
I tried to turn it around, I got several middle fingers.
I personally generally have a good time on 200, if not, off it goes. However, my time on bbs has been very negative, and I’m no softy.
If we want better numbers we need to stop just ignoring it.
Its a shame, because 98% are decent fun players.

Odd that you forgot to mention you sexually assaulting people in their private messages. Or are you ok with that part?

I end up using squelch a lot sometimes. And NEVER tune 200.

You reap what you sow!
The vilest arguments for me in this game have been with Capera! Most recently I saw P47 pass over a ship 20k plus heading sw towards our strats. I upped a P47 and tried intercepting. Got there after he dropped his ords and got the kill. Capera starts by saying how dumb I was, and I Could not read the map, how smart he was by hitting the strat and I was a child for letting him get to his target. I was quite happy for getting the kill and was tickled by his saying he was smart "FREDO was smart also."
He has gone after the size of my member, out of the blue made derogatory remarks and generally done everything he could do to wreck the game for me. The day prior to this incident he went on a rant about Nits sinking a hidden CV, calling QUIET a cheat and a low life! This is the same CV that he so innocently changed sides to move.
He is the most toxic player in the game!!

The solution to this problem has been right under our noses the whole time.
As we know, Moderators are not always present. That is why Dale incorporated a reporting system in the sim. You can find their name on the roster, right click....and report chat or report voice. This was devised by Hitech so that when mods were not available, a player has the means to report the event. Go to Roster, find the player's name that is being inappropriate, right click and either "Report chat" or "Report Voice".
Now I know you are all saying.....whats the point of that, it will not accomplish anything, but that is where you are wrong. Up until I spoke with Dale yesterday, I never knew that these reports are CUMULATIVE. Once you have collected/earned enough reports against you....the sim with remove your chat/vox privileges. Then the only way you can get your chat privileges back, is you have to Hitech Creations and you and him will walk through the data file. This is where you can explain to Dale why there are so many reports against you. Not a comfortable conversation.
Now for those players that think they can use this reporting system as a mean of revenge..... I would think twice. A few months ago.. I had a group of Bish mass report me. I had to call Dale....and we both walked thru the log file together. If he can see why you were muted, and it was legit, you will remain muted. In my case that time, I was instantly unmuted. But...he was clear about what is acceptable and what is now. These were his words, "If these guys did what I think they did, they will ALL be banned." Not muted....banned. So before anyone tries that move....I would not recommend it.
End state is this.....This is OUR community, our flight sim, our home. If you think you are going to come on ch200 and harass others, be inappropriate and then not be held "Accountable"....you are going to soon see that you are sadly mistaken. Legit reports against you are cumulative.
We only have a few...that strive to cause this negativity in the sim. Be sure to report them, when you witness this kind of BS....and let them explain themselves to the owner of the sim.
-

I have no need to use squelch, as I do not argue with guys on my side. When I get pissed because of something, I whine to them and most probably create some hilarity. 200 I tune less than once a month and rarely write anything. When it turns toxic, I detune.
The solution to this problem has been right under our noses the whole time.
Yes, and it is simple: Everyone starts behaving like grown ups.

Replied to this thinking it was being directed at me. Reasoning posted below.
-
You said something along those lines the other night to me. Calling me a pervert on 200. I had no idea what you were talking about then and now still don’t.
I never would do anything remotely close to that, so you must be misinformed.
If you are going to throw that accusation around, beat back it up with proof. I am reporting this
That comment was directed at Animl, not you.
-
That comment was directed at Animl, not you.
My bad....you're correct, it was not directed towards me in here.
Why I thought it was directed at me....Dad said exactly that to me, in game, the other night. I replied back at that time... I didnt know what he was talkin about.
See....this is a mentallity we are dealing with in the sim.
So...anyone have any idea why our numbers are falling?
-
I am going back to the sim, to enjoy my pass time. I am NOT being sucked into any negative battles...in here...or in game.
You're ALL big boys n girls. Follow the rules you accepted when you joined the sim.
Don't follow the rules, and people will simply use the reporting system to highlight YOUR efforts.
The accountability bus is coming for those who enjoy upsetting others in game.
:salute

lol what? You said you’re switching to Bish, I said “bye” nothing else, nothing more and you got all bent out of shape. All for a friendly good bye. Still surprised you posted this whole thread given your regular involvement in the nonsense. You’re no victim.
And also there is no way these reports are cumulative or several people who are considered veterans of this community would have been long gone. Vraciu is a good start. He says the most vile things to people with no provocation. You calling Dale to walk through reports seems a bit disingenuous too. How would anyone feel safe in reporting.
I’ve never said anything vile or inappropriate or toxic to anyone in the game or in here. I don’t report or squelch people or banter on 200. I ply the game the way I like, interact with a few fellas that I like to fly with and I ignore the rest.
There is a core group of people who play this game and also play this game of toxicity. All of them are hypocrites.

I swore you accused me on vox the other night about sending perverted messages....which I knew wasn't so.
Please accept my apologies for my mistake, thinking it was being directed at me.

whats 200? in the SEA2 we use vox 223 and everyone is nice.....most of the time. hehehe. as for 200 in the MA, its good for a laugh, shut it off or dont take it seriously. its a joke.

Not gonna lie Osmium is as passively agressive and toxic as they come if he doesn't trust/respect you. A bona fide chickenchit who feels empowered by God himself. Will never let him live it down when he tried to convince me I sinned against God for keeping the Bishop HQ down on 4th of July this year. Such a tool... :bolt:

Yeah but bringing down an HQ is akin to being the kid to raise his hand to ask the teacher if there's any homework over the weekend about _right_ when you are going to be dismissed early on a Friday.

not bringing down HQ...
Taking 11 bases all the way to thier starts, leveling the city to under 20%, and keeping it down for 5 hrs from 3pm-8pm CST :x
That's not asking for homework that's asking for extra credit and the teacher says be at my place around 8pm get it right...

99cappera is the only player I have muted. And always when I play off hours.
And boy is it peaceful. :x
-
And also there is no way these reports are cumulative or several people who are considered veterans of this community would have been long gone.
I was on the phone with Hitech the other day.....reports against you ARE cumulative.
If anyone get caught abusing this automated system of moderation, Hitech will ban that member. Another thing he told me.
So....that's the goods. Fly with honor, follow the established rules of the sim....and there is no issue. If anyone would like to break the rules of the sim, then they have themselves to blame, when they no longer can type in the sim.

Cap, you have a history (granted, not recent) of moving bish CVs to imminent destruction to help your usual rook teammates. IF what you are saying (making CV safer) was truly your intent, consider the context of moving a CV from a hidden distant place to one that was less hidden and less distant.
You didn't help your case by thereupon commanding other bish CVs and sending them into holding patterns until someone else who ranked you took them away. The ~2 hours we played "command the CV" before I went to bed was somehow both enjoyable and tedious lol.
When I'm rook, I am very respectful to the usually-rook and ask permission to move CVs. You just grabbed bish CVs and moved them to non-optimal positions and were stymied because a couple of players ranked you.
Is this really where you want the game to go? You are so holier-than-thou about honorable gameplay. And yet you did this?

I moved CV25 1/2 a sector....into a safer position. That set you off on a tangent, to which you had rallied the Bish to call me a cheat and accuse me of being malicious.
CV25 was 8 sectors deep...and you felt threatened because I reposition 1/2 a sector? Holding on a little too tight there skipper. Where I was sending it was a better hiding spot, if you were experienced enough to recognize it
Then.... I tried to move CV35 to the sea North of Knit strats, but you would not let me have control of ANY CVs.
Ironic....that you enjoy the privilege to come Rook, and move our CVs .....but when I come Bish and do the exact same, you slander me in the sim.
Huh :headscratch:

Oh I get much worse.
You keep mistaking me for someone who cares about you (3 professional victims) think. You bring it on yourselves, then whine when you taste your own meds,… as thin skinned as it comes. Don’t like the fire? Stop willingly sticking your hands in it. I wasn’t put on earth for your approval. You went well out of your ways to ruin my rep here,.. expect the same in return. Your two FORMER PLAYERS WHO HAVEN"T PLAYED FOR YEARS bbs trashing buddies should have been permabanned a long time ago. Lets talk about WHY they are still here. SO lets not get into what's right and wrong... you 3 made it a mess to be here. totally not worth my time....in any form.
As a matter of FACT, you were told by someone else (who is also sick of watching you 3 attacking me non-stop) to back off when YOU tried to ruin another one of my threads,... if anyone needs a mirror its YOU 3. The mistake you 3 make is you think I'm alone in the disgust. The way I've been treated on the bbs is disgusting. No one in AW EVER treated me like crap for trying to help, not even once. Pick up the pieces yourselves. I'm here to fly, nothing more.

I love how hypocritical it is for the most cancerous person on 200 to be complaining about others, all while pretending that moving captured rook CVs is a completely normal thing to be doing from a hardcore rook player that aggressively attacks auto switchers with no loyalty ties only doing what is best for the team they are on.

I remember the 1st time I met you in the sim. I was using CV11 for some OPs. You were a Rook as well, but you did something to ruin my OPs. I asked you to stop.....and you said, "I dont care about 99th OPs".
Sounds to me like you are not that much of a Team Player.....and more of a individual. Guessing you are that while deployed too, as you are on AH, instead of out helping the boys on deployment. Seen your type before.
So...work on you. Maybe if you ACT like a team player long enough, you might actually develop into one.
-
Time to pull the parachute chord in here. What was needed to be said....has been said.
Between the mods and the reporting system....that should clean up the abuse on 200.

Correct, the needs of the Rooks at the time outweighed your desire to move a CV half a day to a strat to get it killed after you run a single fighter sortie from it. Just bomb and bail the strat like you normally do and try not to inefficiently use team resources to save you 15 minutes.
-
Oh I get much worse.
The defense rests your honor. You’re a child.
I don’t know who “you 3” is referring to I don’t have cronies in the bbs. I’m not aligned with anyone here.
And please you’re not the victim and nobody is trying to reprimand me for my behavior which is basically just repeating your words and actions.
People are not reporting me because there is nothing to report. You cannot say that.
People don’t post screenshots of me sending them endless homoerotic sexually themed pm’s. You can’t say that.
The entire BBS has never asked me to take a break. You cannot say that.
I’ve never threatened people here or chased them to other forums to do the same. You cannot say that.
I will continue to point your your hypocrisy wherever it emerges. You cannot say that.
You have had a clear break with reality somewhere along the way. I cannot say that.
Get help. :salute

I once asked cap to help us out at a base we were one or two people away from taking. Was a good fight we just needed a little push. I promptly received a lengthy lecture on how I should know better than to ask such things.

It wasn't a 'personal' mission. It was a mission to keep the NMEs back country strats down. This positioning of the CV will give us access...for days, if ignorant players like you, would let the experienced players work the in-game strategy. Just because you are unable to see value of the mission.....does not mean the mission is of no value. Just means you are ignorant to what is happening and too narrow minded to ask.

We all know.....all there will be in this thread now is...trolling.

In the am hours this morning was guarding strats. Aircraft inbound so upped a fighter, P51 got his ord's off and I got a kill. In the spirit of less toxic play Capera noted my post here on BB and my tears of sorrow. I think this is a positive step forward in ending the toxic Enviromint! :banana: :banana: :banana:
All I said was, have a nice day at the end of his rant

I wasn't rook at the time but that assessment seems spot-on.
Sure, there's value in having a CV positioned in a stealthy place so that strats can be hit, etc. Even though cap's modus operandi is pretty well known by now, it must be "spies" that out the position of said stealth CV and kill it. According to him anyway.
But that wasn't the point of my response to him initiating this thread. The point is--and I cannot emphasize this enough--that he is holier-than-thou about gameplay (off-map flying, for example, which I occasionally, unashamedly do) when the stuff he has done is unequivocally bad. Switching from rook to bish to command stolen rook CVs to get them killed...using multiple accounts to kill buffs to pad his fighter score to increase his rank and thus be better able to command those CVs...and then, having been caught red-handed at it, claiming to have been teaching nephews how to play AH3 (while shooting them down in ancient German bombers? Over and over??).
Anyway. The prosecution rests.

You should seek some professional help.

So cap, does this mean that you are going to end your personal attacks on me, or do you still dislike me enough to totally ignore you own advice and strive constantly to drive me out of the game?

Drive you out of the game?
ALL I EVER asked of your squadron was....to be fair. You and your crew (X7 usually) would rape us, when we only had 1-2 online. Sure that would feel good on your side of the fence, but us 1-2...scrambling...unable to adquately fight back....yea, not a lot of fun.
So... I ASKED you guys to either stop rallying up against us, until we can get some players online.....or send one or two of you over to our side, to balance the teams. Nope...none of you wanted anything to do with that. You enjoyed raping us too much.
If wanting fair gameplay is a crime....then I am guilty. My efforts on this thread AND in game.......ALWAYS point towards hoping for the better, but as we can see by the attitudes, that is an uphill battle.

I'll take that as a no. I'm not sure you see the irony in your OP from my perspective.

As long as you and your squadron is going to "choose" to fight at an unfair advantage......you can count on me calling out your crew for doing it.
You guys wont balance teams, nor will you fight the country with similar numbers.....you guys always gravitate to the country with no players, or 1-2 online.
Of course the 7 of you will do well....no doubt.
Piss poor sportmanship IMHO.

Wanting fair gameplay is fine. How you handle yourself in the game is the complete opposite of the purpose of this post. You are honestly on the top 5 list of people who shouldn't be qualified to make this post. Hypocrisy.

It's a war video game. What do you expect? :rofl
You will always have this with random strangers hiding behind handles. Its just nature.

Agreed.
Taunting has always been a part of competitive combat sim/games. No less than a neighborhood baseball game, always the cheat word. There are some who cross lines, sex, politics, physical threats. Passion means the game immersion is working.
That said, if one can’t take what they dish out thats when thin skin takes its toll in foolishness.
Its easy to call someone names while hiding behind an oak tree 200 yrds away, but when its handed back three run screaming for mommy. Typical baby seal.
Some of the smart ones took sim immersion, playing the whole game, over shallow waters of dweebery.
Former players have zero immersion, its usually full throttle dweebery, with no friends to keep. Vexations. They are former for a reason, nothing positive to contribute. Not serious at all.
These situations will always exist. Limit ones exposure.
Bigweek was not connected to AW forums, it was separate on nntp news group. It was never advertised, ya had to know how to find it. Now on FB as different name. A lot of steam got ket out there, (and a ton was of great ideas) without destroying the forums. O’club is AH BW, but its connected, it matters.
I’m not into conflict with someone’s kid who doesn’t play well with others. I also won’t allow pushing me to be a happy memory for them.
Its going to happen. Pick your poison wisely, or allow them to drag you into the baby seal sandbox. We all drop the ball once in a while.

Greetings: I have not posted here in years but what the heck. I used to play back in the days when there was a "canyon lands" map. I tried it again a couple of years ago but it was like one wall of players from one side against another wall just to blast away. No tactics or strategy or ACM. A couple of players even out turned me using twin engine bombers when I was in a Yak so I just quit. Sure seemed like people were messing around with the flight model.
I think good behavior went down for the count. It seemed like when the younger players came aboard they played for different reasons like kill count and prestige and being obnoxious. The older simmers like myself tried to work on air combat maneuvers and tactics etc. but the new guys just liked to swarm each other.
According to several recent studies around 40% of online players cheat these days. "Griefers" are also at work, accusing people of spying and having multiple accounts and you name it. Years ago I thought "cussing" was bad but now bad behavior is over the top.
I read some place that Japan has/had some laws that made online cheating illegal- might not be a bad idea.
Anyway I hope you guys can still get in some fun flights and fights.

Having read this post i took it upon myself this morning to join cap against the morning knight horde.
Had a really good time flying with cap. My skill using dual accounts(ON THE SAME SIDE :x for those who dont know) was tested to its absolute limit during a succesful base take and subsequent defense of the captured base for more than an hour afterwords. It was intense. The action was absolutely insane from 4-6am CST. It was good to catch up with you Capera and it was a lot of fun competing aganst the Tropical Thunder and friends :salute :cheers:

Interesting note: Bigweek was the name of the event(s), Game server, and nntp news group used to beta test Air Warrior 2 in 96/97.
AWII was basically an AOL beta of AW3 and it never went live on Kesmai's Gamestorm service like AW3 an AW Classic (AW4Windows) did .
Not sure how it happened but at some point after the beta ended the News group ended up being its own thing taken over by AW players. This was around the time gamestorm Started. I'm sure there is a story there and I would love to hear it. Unfortunately The Big week news group got shut down a few years ago. I think its mostly been replaced by the Facebook group "A Kill Has Been Recorded'.'
I still think BW was funner ... It was almost anything goes yet there really weren't many fights rants or flame wars on it like you would expect.

I think the Tropical Thunder morning horde is down to one now during the week, maybe 2 or 3 on the weekends. My guess is cap is still harassing that one player relentlessly as usual.

Yep, didn’t want to do my usual wot on it. Good memory. I think we tested the server for 10,000 players at one time. It crashed. I missed the flight because of work.
There was some super serious flame wars in it after the fact. But OTOH, we had people like Earl a test pilot of the era, who was so interesting to read his/their input, on AC history and our FM. BW went south when they brought politics into the picture. Why I’m so adamant about that here.
I put a heap load of work into that sim. Maybe a little obsessive.
I moved to “a kill has been recorded” for a while. Unfortunately same thing, politics ruined it for me, and left. I think you told me it calmed down.
My point being, I’d hate to see that happen here. I know the destruction it brings.
BW had a draw of some very deep insights and intellect. I spent way more time there than on the forum. If you wanted to know it, you could find it there. But again, dweebs and baby seals brought the flames.
IMO, AH has a lot of life left in it. Pretty much same game, much different situation. Savable.
Thanks for that history input. Good times. Ha!
I hope things are well with you.

With our numbers falling, the responsibility of the gameplay “in” the main arena rests with each and everyone of us.
What I’ve been witnessing the last 6 months is veteran players of Aces High taking more enjoyment out of upsetting other players on Ch200, more that actually playing the sim.
I know a lot of players in game, think ole crappy is some sort of salamander, but ironically, I am anything but….but I am different than most that choose to fly AH….as I enjoy playing the sim, in a tactical manner. Thinking out missions, devising ways to trick the enemy…etc.
Even these forums. I have not posted here in a long long time….because anytime you ask a simple question in the FOURMS…..these dysfunctional player lurk here on the fourms, they simply never offer any positive input to the question. Actually…they take it to a nasty level, that it mades one not want to participate here either.
Last night I switched to Bish. I do this regularly, by my choice, to give me closer access to the Knit front lines. When I see where ex-RookCv25 was hidden, I repositioned it to a better location. The move was less that 1/2 a sector….on a hidden CV 8 sectors deep. The moment that I repositioned CV25, Osmium flipped out and preceded to attack my character and intent. He rallied the Bish and convinced them I was being malicious. Ironically….Osmium comes over to Rook almost daily, and is free to move CVs.
The behaviour of some of the BISH players last night was disgusting. Here we are….players that have games together for year, and still….a few toxic players keep ruining the sim and intentionally trying to discredit other veteran players of the sim. This IS the stuff that makes people not even want to log in.
We are core community now. We don’t have 1200 droolies flying around. I’ve been playing and contributing to this sim 23 years….but unless Dale deals with these toxic, personally attacking players….i will be joining the other 1100 that left.
This place is ALL what WE make it it. Please don’t let the dysfunctionals ruin it for everyone.
In his defense, you were moving a hidden cv (21 I think) from a closed loop circle in the bottom left of the map, making it hard to bomb to a short distance away but straight lined (way easier to kill). Another cv (35) you sent straight to your old country waay up North. Both seem rather suspicious even if innocent, especially the hidden one. No reason to move it all. Just stating what I saw and yes i had a problem with the hidden cv being "set up" for a bomb run.

Fly with honour....invest in your sim. Never cheap out on either.
Score means nothing. Game play does.
Figure it out

This topic is an unfortunate deja vu from the sim I used to fly a lot before AH. It started with insults in in general channel (like me as a noobie was "too lousy to have <S> returned" after I shot down some old hand), then same in the forum and next step were miracle men. Those were Lancs and HE111s turning like A6Ms and overperforming fighters even after vator was shot off, 500 mph FM2s, 1-ping kills beyond range etc. I hope this is not going to be similar development story.

Not sure I follow, but first fact, failed. there is no more "MA". That ceased to exist when the "Early War" [EW], and "Mid War" [MW], and "Late War" [LW] were buried. "MA" is a reference to lesser arenas that were squashed.

This all reminds me of a point in time when we all just wanted to get a long and flowers were the answer to all things peaceful. A time I left behind.

Hey girl, whatcha doing down there
Dancing alone every night
While I live right above you?
I can hear your music playing
I can feel your body swaying
One floor below me
You don't even know me, I love you
Oh, my darling, knock three time
On the ceiling if you want me
Twice on the pipe
If the answer is no
Oh, my sweetness
Means you'll meet me in the hallway
Oh-oh, twice on the pipe
Means you ain't gonna show
If you look out your window tonight
Pull in the string with the note
That's attached to my heart
Read how many times I saw you
How in my silence, I adored you
And only in my dreams did
That wall between us come apart
Oh, my darling, knock three times
On the ceiling if you want me
Mm-mm, twice on the pipe
If the answer is no
Oh, my sweetness
Means you'll meet me in the hallway
Whoa, twice on the pipe
Means you ain't gonna show
Whoa, I can hear the music playing
I can feel your body swaying
One floor below me
You don't even know me, I love you
Oh, my darling, knock three times
On the ceiling if you want me
Whoa, twice on the pipe
If the answer is no
(I love you, I love you, I love you)
Oh, my sweetness
Means you'll meet me in the hallway
Mm-mm, twice on the pipe (twice on the pipe)
Means you ain't gonna show...
Hey darlin, the game is old, and she's dancing down there...
no one to catch her she's oh a sweetness
But the answer is no

Lay off the bottle bro.

Now I know you are all saying.....whats the point of that, it will not accomplish anything, but that is where you are wrong. Up until I spoke with Dale yesterday, I never knew that these reports are CUMULATIVE. Once you have collected/earned enough reports against you....the sim with remove your chat/vox privileges. Then the only way you can get your chat privileges back, is you have to Hitech Creations and you and him will walk through the data file. This is where you can explain to Dale why there are so many reports against you. Not a comfortable conversation.
I find this very hard to believe. I was muted on numerous occasions for reasons such as "discussing non-game related material on 200" or for "no reason at all"
I decided to take a break and a player in the game that was trying to convince me to stay said he contacted Dale and that Dale said he could find no record of my being muted...

I also thought that was bogus or sooooo many people would be gone.
