Whats with the spying? Found one on RW today, just "listening in". He was a member of a squad from another county, i wont say his name but the people on tonight know who i'm talking about. anyway made some shady story bout how he changed counties in the TA and it carried over to the MA. That doesnt happen! How long was he on RW? who knows. I was hosting and kicked him off 3 times but he kept coming back! just the fact that he was on our county on our RW without ever typing or saying anything and not even flying! When we asked him about it he said he was just "waiting at my keyboard till the time runs out". Please.
I guess some people will argue that in the war they had spies or some lame stuff like that but comeon people, dont do petty stuff like this. keep it real, dont make everyone have to start pm'ing eachother and typing on squad channels to plan stuff. this is not the point.

Quit talking on open air...use a channel below 200 and other countries can't tune in.
SOB
BTW...I wish I'da stumbled across it, we coulda had another party! (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif) http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/Forum1/HTML/007438.html (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/Forum1/HTML/007438.html)

IIRC, 100 series channels can only be used by your country.

Just an observer here, but if said squad was using proper RW channels then accused spy could not spy on them....could he?

Dont use RW channels above 200. Channels under 200 are country specific only.
Hog, also just noticed you are from Rockville, grew up there and went to school at T.S. Wootton HS ... sis graduated from Rockville HS (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
Tis a small world (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

We were on channel 160. He switched to our country and maybe allready had 160 set from bish land. He lurked on that channel and repeatedly rejoined it when ejected. He was not flying he was just hanging out.

I thought about this for a bit.
I was on that RW chan as well and you're right - the pilot in question would not leave the chan as we were trying to discuss strategy and tactics. It was aggrevating and I can understand the frustration.
However, if I were in X's place, I would have had a good time listening in on what it's like. I'd love to hear one of Ripsnort's missions going off, because it would be interesting and different. However, I would have let the guys know and hopefully my word that I wouldn't update my country on the enemy strategy would suffice.
Just some thoughts..

hey dingy,
we were using our own RW channel, witch was under 200. he had changed his country and was listing to use without letting us know. he was also of course watching everything we typed on country and room channels.
And blitz, were talking about the bish's blitz on us, not you (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif).
tis ture, bish had a huge blitz on us all accross the board. i'm not going to put bish down by saying this wasnt possible without spies, but i'm sure it helped for some bases.
Dingy i go to rockville high, Wootton sucks!
hehe

It sounds like whoever that was was just being an ass. Dunno what you could do to stop that except to have someone with authority monitoring this and warn him with a ban from the arena for a day or two.

Also Hog, I can tell by your lack of capitalization, punctuation and poor spelling skills that you are a Rockville High grad rather than a Wootton High grad (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif).
Us Wootton'ites were always more edumacated (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif) LOL! j/K

I wouldn't call that spying, but it is a good lesson to learn. Making me laugh to remember back when our squad was trying to capture a base using chan 209. Had half the other country tuned I think & telling us goon was on the way. Never been back to 209 since.

Ding,
Still not sure if the said person was being an bellybutton but it should be looked into since it lowered the respect for his squad in general. (one bad apple...)
Am I under the wrong impression that it's 12 regular 'world' hours until you can change countries or is it 12 'flying' hours in the arena?
/edit - biggun, said pilot had changed countries and was listening on private RW 1## chan. Not the same was 2## chans..

well changing countries & listening on 100+ channel is definately spying if they report it back to the other side. Shame on them, off with there heads!!!

Isn't this just one of those realism features everyone keeps insisting on? Radio intercepts were an everyday occurence in every war since Marconi.
Not to be insensitive...

12 real world hours....meaning if you switch at 10PM you wont be able to come back until 10AM.the next morning.

If anyone was wondering what use a second monitor could fill for AH, this is it...I put both WinAMP and Roger Wilco up on it. I always know who's on RW & what song is playing (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

What on earth could you be discussing that has such great importance? "Hey, that huge red awacs radar bar coming to A1 is the enemy!"
I guess Im used to squad rw which is people talking, laughing, and more or less roadkillting. Although you call 6's or something, I can't remember any great information. (sourses I guess)
Had you not gotten all super serious and booted the guy, you could have really messed with him. I would have typed on red squad channel we had a guest in rw, and made up some toejam to mess with him. You could have really spoofed him.
That or talked to him and had fun.

Ya know, now that you mention it that has happened to me too. A month or so ago when I switched to Bish to join Hangtime's squad, I was on a RW channel in Rooks and it carried over. I noticed it at the time but it never sunk in what was going on. Sorry for my earlier comment.....I guess this would be something that HTC may be able to solve program-wise. Like maybe kicking you out of RW if you switch countries and forcing you to re-log onto RW ....that way you would only be able to hit your own countries channels that are under 200.

Creamo,
You're definitely right - 90% of the time, we're all just joking around. An example of the other 10% however..
You have a mission going on coordinated by the RW chan and your goon driver says 'ok, I'm in 7.8.3'. Suddenly, a radar bar spikes at 8.8 and a mass of red fighters suddenly heads straight for where the goon transmitted from.
Anyway, it *is* just a game, but there is competition going on nevertheless and something like this doesn't help it.
/edit - sling: there is a good explanation for this. You're directly connected via IP to that RW chan and I dont know if it can boot you automatically when you change countries. In this case, said pilot had changed countries and hopped on our RW as well, so he had access to radio chan 2 as well.

Your right creamo. But most of the people involved where not in the same squad so the red channel was not available. I had forgotten how nice that squad channel is..

Had a distastefull friend or fiend whichever! who went ot the others sid and earned a little trust then started throwing up brilliant missions well designed. But he then told the enemy about everything. An while all the others were on his misions his loyal side blitzed there bases and put about 4 pony and chogs or anything else with hitting powere 47s above each raid's parade rout. Easy perks. Holds half the country down. And he gave play by play info from each mision he like had a retype program.
