Why wouldn't you observe common courtesy in an online game? Each and every plane/gv you see is manned by a *real* person. Each of our fellow human beings deserves respect (until they prove otherwise). There is really no valid reason why we all can't play nice. What Zosma's post really boils down to is playing nice. The majority of us are adults, so we know how to play nice. Some just choose not to.

In the end you should be thankful for those players like us who switch to try and help keep things even because our willingness to do so, helps a more selfish, I want it my way player, get to fly his latewar uber ride.

But no, I don't find shooting chutes to be all that fun in either case. I've probably done it in the past on the "check 6" doctrine though.. I don't recall. I think you could look that up on the score page though.

Well Sikboy, looks like you only have fun if you are behaving honorably.  !  I am the same way. :)

The collision modeling so we can RAM 'chutes. If you're not supposed to shoot 'em, why do they call 'em 'chutes?

"Pardon me, old boy, but would you mind too terribly much if I shoot some bullets your way with the intent of rendering your plane no longer airworthy?"

"Not at all, chap. As a matter of fact I may shoot some back at you ... if you don't mind, in return."

"By all means, sir."

(By which time Arlo has already stitched them both and is coming back for their chutes)

;)

Pip pip!

Um, no.  But it's good to see that you've chalked that one up in the win column despite your embarrassing show.

Here we go again.  Do I need to explain yet again why shooting chutes is not a violation of "common courtesy" in a game designed to allow for and, in fact, promotes such activities?

That's not entirely true. You see, I'm a Cherry Picker. If I had to guess, I'd say that 75% of my kills come from flying near furballs, and picking off the stragglers from the edges. These poor bastards are flying along, trying desperately to kill the target in front of them. They usually don't even see me until it's too late.

Not much honor in that.  But the heart races when you realise they don't see you. And the satisfaction when they pop... mmmmm.

On a bad night sometimes it helps if you fly really fast back and forth through a furball. Proxies don't get ya points but everyone is as impressed with them in a buffer kill message as they are vulch or camping streaks. :lol
