Text Perks

How about it costing 1 perk for each word typed on 200  :t  payable out of whatever category of flight you are in at the time.  Tower talk would cost 1 perk from every category  :lol

it definitely would kill ah as it is just as much fun to listen and talk to other people as it is to fly.  without 200 or country chanel this game would be boring as hell.  you already have the option to squelch individual people or to switch off 200 and country chanel.  just switch chanels and it would be the same thing.

I dont know about anyone else, but typically I have my squelch list full several nights a week.  I squelch the play by players, and the guys who whine when they get up in the morning.   :uhoh

Perhaps than you should request for a larger squelch list?


I squelched less than 10 people in the past 5 years. And I don't mean constantly, I mean a total of 10 squelches.

This is why I never tune 200. It's the grief channel.
