Title: End Channel 1
Post by: loser on November 14, 2002, 05:27:44 PM

Lately, (and i won't blame it on the new infux of players) channel 1 has become either a cryfest or a soapbox for antogonist rivals to squeak at each other.

Of course we can squelch channel one.......but why should we have to?  

Did enemy countries catch each other on radio and squeak about getting shot down?

Other than the odd time late at night with fun conversations about dumb krap, channel one is downward slope of "that was a studmuffingot handsomehunked lame kill"

then the arguments starts

then the high skool teams start ganging in


In real life pilots wouldnt talk to the other pilots that shot them down..........and if they did they might just sit down and play some poker.

HTC get rid of channel one

Well how 'bout a feature wherein when one is squelched the squelchee receives a painful, yet non-lethal shock through his/her joystick? Kinda like that James Bond game (World Domination or some such)...HTC should get to work for immediate implementation.  :cool:

All it needs is for your .squelch list to persist from one session to the next.

A .friend list that gives you a message when they are on would be nice as well.  

These are both common in the online rpg's...

Another solution would be to wait until the people on chanel one at least hit puberty, and better yet, wait until they get laid.

Of course fir former will take ten years or so, and the latter (we can hope) won't ever happen outside the inflate-a-barnyard store.  By then there'll be a whole new crop of 1337 h4x0rz ready to take up the mantle.

I, of course, must be getting old, because I don't have the patience to deal with children anymore.  The older I get the happier I am I never had any.

YMMV.

LOL...I'm with ya there. I, however, do have kids I can 'rent' from the inlaws, thankfully they come with an easy return policy :)

Im failing to understand why Channel 1 is such a problem for some people - sure you get the odd chap that spouts his opinions off about the N1k and its dweeby pilot - but by enlarge - it provides hours of entertainment.  And really - it isnt that hard to squelch it.

I see it as a Bish conspiracy to conter the only Rook weapon against their usual horde attacks.  :D

Grow some skin.
