The greatest Spit I Ace ever!

You seem over occupied by score. Score means nothing in Ah because you can game the game. What does mean something in any game, job, agreement, family, or anything else is ethics. Someone vulching a shade is about as low as you can go. Next in line IMHO is the folks who try to defend them. I do not agree with the so called milkruns either. As far as factories go there is little reason to defend them and some will take advantage of that. Milkrunning, while it is looked down upon by most of us, is not a dishonest act.

Shuff, I don't agree with everything you say all the time but I consider you one of the "good players/guys", you would be one of those guys I would actually like to sit down and have a beer with someday. I do believe this post was made not to call out their "unfair play" but instead their "unfair" SCORE.  I mean really...what are these guys doing to directly effect the flamers other than score? 2 guys in a LARGE arena. Please tell me you don't really think it's about helping these kids with their "integrity".

I think first off to help them.... calling them out on the carpet. How they handle themselves from there will tell if they can be improved upon or not.

I didn't have "integrity" as you put it back when I was a KID and playing Atari against my brothers. I do now, because I don't do this stupid stuff these kids are doing. I believe integrity is something you learn and earn not something that can be forced upon you by some stranger over the internet. These kids will learn. For now, let them do what kids do.

Nothing is being FORCED upon them...... they are being put in the spot light for what they are doing. Knowing that can happen in the future is likely to keep them a little more in line. You have to start somewhere. I see no issue with pointing them out.

I see where your coming from I guess. But, I also know how kids are.

My last post.....

My whole reason for posting on this subject wasn't the fact that they were "pointing them" out. It was that in my opinion-these "grown men" were crying about it because it was effecting them and it wasn't "fair" to THEM.  I truely believe they didn't post it to bring these kids "integrity" in question. If it was, what do kids usually do when you tell them "you can't do that"? ........

Exactly

I caught my son stealing from a grocery once. I made him give it back and apologize to the manager. He was embarrassed and I doubt if he steals today. So I guess if I just "let him be a kid" then he would grow up to think stealing is okay.

BTW, how do you know they're kids????

Most of what I see in these "post the posure" threads tends to be funny IMHO. It doesn't bother me as score goes. I play for the enjoyment of flying an aircraft , albeit a cartoon one, a select living few flew years ago. I am a WWII buff and a plane nut..... not the salted kind   . For those that work hard for score I can see where it would ruffle feathers. For me... I'm just concerned that it may lead to others doing the same lame thing. If that should happen this game could go in the dumpster quick. I see these posts as a way to curb those types from infecting the legions of new folks we have come in month to month.

The Cowboys From Hell squad were called out in a post like this at the end of last camp for the same behavior.  I spoke to one of them on-line last week and guess what.  He was a grown man, not a kid.

The Cowboys From Hell had their scores adjusted by Skuzzy, taking out all of their shade kills.

The month prior, Amsoil21 was called out in a thread like this and his scores were adjusted, taking out all of his shade kills.

It seems to me that HTC also want's to maintain the integrity of their game. 

I don't know about you but I don't really like to play games against cheaters and I'm sure that I'm not alone in this.  If you enjoy it, more power to you.  Have fun when it's only you and them left.

So, your sure he would have kept stealing if you didn't make him give it back? These guys aren't stealing anything from anybody. Just score. I would hope my kid would know the difference between reality where it really effects someone and games where no matter what your rank is, in the end it pretty much means nothing. Those that believe gaming is real are the ones you read about in the news.  I see my kid play games on X-box and she drives her car into the wall for fun sometimes. Do, you think she will do it when she grows up if I don't stop her now?

Think not

I don't know they are kids but you don't know they aren't. I just assumed most grown ups wouldn't act this way anymore. MOST
