My question would be, why, if you knew a guy was going to up and bail each time he saw you, would you continually go there and take those kills?  I think that is what Mak333 is also saying.  Are you so bored that you are willing to spend your time doing that?  Do you care so much about your score that you are willing to do that.  Yes, I think it is silly at best for some one to bail all the time like that, but it is just as silly for anyone to seek him out to get those kills.

I would simply fly somewhere else, to another area to make sure I did not participate in it.  You must be pretty close to get proxie kills so it would be a poor excuse to say it wasn't your fault that you kept getting the proxie kills.

Unless you can convince yourself that you can balance on a razors edge, everything you choose to do either makes this wonderful game better or it makes it worse.  In my opinion this activity makes it worse.  Both the bailer and the proxie kill seeker should take a hard look at themselves, realize they are making choices that affect the game and then act appropriately.

It is sad, and dissappointing that we, the players, make poor choices like these and then justify them with poor excuses.

This is such a wonderful game we are priviledged to have, let us all endeavor to play it, not 'work" it.

Sooner is usually not the only show in the area. There are usually fighters and they just keep dieing too..... then sooner bails.

  Really, old boy, do get off your high horse and step down into the dung encrusted
dirt of the working class. I find your proselytizing a bit tedious at best.

  I myself came across "sooner" the first day after this thread had begun.
He continually upped a set of B25s while 5 of us flew around the field
and took turns popping him. He'd stay up until one of 'em had been lit,
then bail the remaining two immediately.

  While admittedly not very challenging, it nonetheless provided us with
some modicum of amusement.

  The field ack was up and slowly attrited our little band of vulchers, which
was the whole point of his excercise.

  I suppose in your vision of purity and perfection, we should all have just
flown away from his field, preceeding him back to ours, and allowed him
to drop his ordnance and -then- hosed him; a process which would have
entailed wasting ten to twenty minutes of flight time, and resulting in only one
rewarding "boom" for our efforts.

  In -my- world, if a guy's stupid enough to keep liftin' like that, I'll stay
there until my ammo's expended or I've lost my plane.

That is hersay can you prove that the fatger is the stick at the time?

Just fly in the MW arena, the kid never ups fighters just bombers.  When a fighter bails on you, it's the father.  Like I said, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

Zoney 265 kills, tour 151

25 in a 262
175 in a 47N
51 in a Tempest
Total: 251

  That's not "workin'" the game.  :D
