When pacerr or Axer land it should say vulches instead of victories.

Yup, it's the quality of the fight not the quantity of kills.  Although slaying lemmings in droves can be quite fun.

I notice most of the WTFG'S! for minimal kills come from squaddies--Oddball pointed out to me how stupid that looks on country channel

If it's a squaddy I'll usually give a WTG or I'll bust their chops.  If it's a BoP I know or specifically Falcnwing, I'll ask how many he ho'd, stole, vulched, etc.

We (our squad members) always wtg multiple kills on squad channel even if it was nothing special.

I'd say 4-5 kills deserves a wtg but if you're a noob then 2 is pretty good (hell, it's pretty good for me some nights).
I edit a lot of my posts.  Get used to it.

I think the main topic of the post was what else to say besides WTG.

How about "Congrats on your symbolic victory over tyranny and oppression and the evil forces that threaten to take away our honorable way of life"

or.......                COYSVOTAOATEFTTTTAOHWOF  for short

:D

If you're getting WTGs on minimals kills, what this tells you is that you're presumed completely incompetent by the majority of those around you. The more they celebrate, the dumber they must think you are.

Were I you, I'd ask them to say things more along the lines of "Only 2?"

I'll vary my response with the level of accomplishment Right around the 5 kills mark is when i start saying "WTG"...


5 kills doesn't mean they did anything more than a guy that landed 2. He could have (probably did) vulched all 5 of them. Where as the guy that landed 2 may have been in a fight with 5 guys, got 2 of them and made the rest run home. So to base when you give a WTG is on how many someone landed makes no sense unless you know how they got them. To each his own in how you wish to give out kudos to someone.

Yup, I took a break for a year or so and come back to this sensitive-new-age-guy "WTG" rubbish on two kills. I couldn't believe what a bunch of pansies everyone had turned into.

WTG's used to be reserved for 10+ kills, and landing kills in a spit/niki/la7 voided any WTG.
