Title: Punishment for death +)

Player B shot you down.  You are now muted for 5 minutes



Yeah some would say, hey that denies me the chance to givem an <$>...  Well, from what I have seen in the MA, about .000001% of all kills receive a salute.  While every 5 mins you see someone complaining of how they were killed.  Might help the atmosphere in the MA.

Your squad wouldn't hear from you, nor the enemy or anyone on your team,  yet it doesn't really impact your game.

Would prevent someone reporting the guy who snuck up on him, and is now otw for his teammate.

Maybe 5 mins is abit long but of course that can be adjusted.

Also... mute all players in chutes, until they return to the tower.


Would it make players less aggressive?  Maybe a little, but likely it wouldn't have a huge impact.  And from all the complaints about how so and so got shot down, I don't think aggression is in too short supply..

The only problem with that is, lets say you and your 5 squad members are in heavy jugs going to take down the FH at a field, and a enemy plane sneaks up at kills you, how are you going to warn your squad members that there is an enemy sneaking up to butcher the rest of you squad members? IMO, if the mute idea was to work, only mute channel one.

Well Ham that arguement doesn't wash. Cuz your supposed to be dead.

DEAD, done, room temperature, the NO TOMORROW, hunks of meat falling from the sky, fertilizer for the countryside, the obit in the hometown rag...

Pick another one.

If the big,bad enemy plane turned you into chunky salsa with his cannon. You cant tell your buddys anyway. And they can fly home and raid your locker and stuff.

Guess you don't realize it but you just supported muting the dead guy over all channels. +)

I hate it.  Hell, I'd never have access to the text buffer at all.

One of the best ideas for a long time! Also all channels should be made invisible for the same duration. That kind of punishment might encourage people to fly less dweeby. Maybe saluting could be excluded from muting?

I would congratulate people on a good fight, but I haven't had a good one in a long time. Usually its a case of alt monkeys doing a tag-team on me or getting ganged by a jabo wave.
