Title: Whe did it become unpopular to
Post by: sax on September 10, 2003, 02:33:20 PM: Salute another player or Squad on the BBS.

Not so long ago before all the wannabees joined AH , freedom of speech in any form was welcome and interesting reading.

Nowadays seems like the no talented attention seekers have to put down any form respect or just general good manners to feel popular.

I think it all started with MAW bashing and just snowballed from there.

Well heres my Salute to the MAW , AK's , BK,s , Assasins all great Squads.

If ya don't like it please reply or start your own thread saying ya don't, I'm sure some one will find it witty.

Post by: Furball on September 10, 2003, 02:40:00 PM: i'm all for saluting your opponents, its just when it happens every day between the same people it gets annoying and loses its value.

Post by: Rude on September 10, 2003, 02:41:58 PM: I'm with ya....the guys in those squads know that I respect them, even if I disagree with what they term as fun.

You know how I see it Sax....some folks are jealous of the fun we all have...can't really blame em:)

"best" is a relative term.

Post by: lazs2 on September 11, 2003, 08:05:36 AM: I think what happened is that bettle got jealous.... for one thing... no one ever compliments him (except himself) and for another.... he is shaken because he doesn't have a squad anymore.... they literally bored themselves to death.

Post by: BlkKnit on September 11, 2003, 08:27:10 AM: I think a is called for when I get killed in a good fight, or my enemy does something that looked impossible to me and waxes my rear. I dont think a for vulchin is called for (unless it was a really good one :p ), or for killin someone 4 vs. 1.

the other day I got vulched repeatedly (my fault, I know) but it was fun tryin to time the launch to get airborn and i made it up a few times (but didn't last long) anyway, I did have a convo on ch 1 about it with my vulcher. Is this what counts as annoying Ch. 1 banter? I know that Ch 1 talk can cover the text at times, and often its not worth the reading, but sometimes there is good stuff too. Now, I dont get many ~~'s cause I rarely do anything to deserve one, but its nice to get one after a good fight.~~

Post by: Zippatuh on September 11, 2003, 08:58:09 AM: Don’t leave out the old 323 and the squads that make up the MAG 33 group. The best thing about switching back to Knights is the possibility of a mass heavy bomber mission with them or the MAW.

I get a kick out of B17’s flying in formation and escorting in 51’s.

Mind that I also like it when the enemy knows we’re coming. Having all those bombers and escorts isn’t any fun without someone trying to stop you.

What was it Rip, 15 or 17K ceiling for bombers?

Ice, somehow when general AH crowd is agressive about you or your squad it means that you do something correctly :) Just another form of compliment :)

Post by: gofaster on September 11, 2003, 10:38:20 AM: Does this mean I can no longer get a little more satisfaction in shooting down an AK than I would any other guy in a N1K/SpitIX/Typhoon/LA-7?

Post by: Swager on September 12, 2003, 09:00:53 PM: Sax, AH is nothing like it used to be.

I shot a 190 down a few nights ago and send him a SALUTE because it was a nice melee, I got back a ! I think that means "finger".

Post by: nopoop on September 13, 2003, 12:17:24 AM: I found that no matter how great the fight, if you win and send a salute' 75% of the time, unless he's a bud, you'll get something along those lines Swager.

I don't send them when I win. I do if I lose. 100% of the time when I lose, I'll get a salute' back.

Had a great one tonight...but I won. It's unfortunate. Saying nothin is better than giving a salute' and having it crapped on.

It's the fight. If the fight is good, jeez a salute' for those wonderful minutes is a natural byproduct of the fight you just had.

Winning or losing a great fight is a great fight regardless.

Keeps me comin back.

Title: Honor??
Post by: H0SS on September 13, 2003, 08:52:47 AM: lol,,,only been playing a little over a month.....but in that short time I've learned (via Wilbuz) to squelch channel 1 If you honor a enemies request to stay out of a fight.....does not mean you will be treated the same. I think the people who have been flying the longest set the tone for what goes on and the squads have little to do with that. I don't even know what half the squads abreviations stand for,,,,,lol ,,,,,,,figured out its best to kill the sharks (if you can) rather than be honorable to them. They seem to just laugh at you anyways, My 2 cents....whatever

I decided that a more cordial attitude was called for in the MA. So I reprogrammed one of my joystick buttons. Instead of typing "Death to all LA7", it now types an ~~followed by a space, and then I type in the name of the person and hit enter.~~
