Whoohoo! Nothin I like more than people getting fired up. I was however hoping for more actual reasons WHY people get so pissed off when you kill chutes. I can only assume that it’s the point thing, and that’s ridiculous. Sure, I’d like to lead the board, but I sure the hell aint going to sacrifice fun for it or WHINE cause someone shot my chute.
In response to everyone that contributed, thanks. Pretty cool to see everyones take on it. To the few that responded with sarcastic and mindless whining via personal attacks, I am not real impressed, but I’ll respond as people should on a BBS especially if they are flamed.

Well then, can’t argue there.

Well, its my first post, but that is the single best comeback ever and I bow in humble defeat. That was intellect and flaming at it’s best, bravo. It must have taken years of thought, knowledge, and communications skills to ponder and actually take the effort to know your that clever and prove it by posting it on the message board for thousands to read. Still, I don’t think you wrote it because I heard that one a lot in 3rd grade. And guess what? Mom didn’t write that, because she lost her fight with cancer in December you mindless sorry bastard. You need an adult to slap you.

Can that be even more retarded? No comment.

Looks to me as we now have a new 1st class target “/
Cool. #1! Public Enemy #1 for simply killing a chute or eleven. So I guess the certain whine all day players are far better? Sheesh, anyway who did I replace?!

This pilot can be identified from the following nasty social habits :
Sniffs his fingers after pickin the clingers from his butt
Picks his nose with the same fingers.. and eats it
It's a detestable nasty habit. Thankfully its pretty rare. To avoid tempting those infantile players unable to resist the urge to pick their butts and shoot chutes; I always open the chute very low to minimize dangle time.
PYRO: suggestion: have system disable the 'chute open' command for any pilot who has a chute kill. Let the twit free fall to pancake status on his next bail.” /
Man Hang, I expect a lot better than this from you. I usually read all your posts which are generally insightful and intelligent. This is rubbish and childish. If you have no respect for everyones right to post their opinions, have some respect for yourself. I’m sick of your “BOOBIES” comments and am immediately tired of 12 year old references to my ass. That’s ok though, I assume it was a just a kid fit. The big one here is if you leave a wingman to die because for whatever reason he kills a chute, your missing the point of multiplayer. The single greatest moment in multiplayer gaming is making a kill on a opponent that was about to do the same to your wingman/squadmate/fellow countryman. When you see green text that says “Wow, thanks man” you know your not up with AI and it’s quite rewarding. I get a few of those each gaming session and it's pretty cool. Everytime I kill your chute will be pure gaming bliss.
Fatty Quote “/Still, I never have understood the outrage over it, suppose I never will. If you don't want your chute shot, don't get shot down. If it does get shot down, take a deep breath, relax, they have more back at the base “/
Hats off to you sir for being intelligent and posting that although you don’t kill chutes, you’re an adult and view it as such. I may reconsider after reading your take on it. NAW! :0)
BTW, you have the best damn squad name in the game!
Thanks for the reasonable posts regarding the matter, it is a pretty interesting subject. Now if only they could program in blood and the chute falling from the sky instead of that dreadful “Ooops, had 5 sticks of TNT in my pocket” explosion.
Tally Ho!
