Why PM's are Lame
« on: May 31, 2011, 09:52:49 AM »
  I don't want to break any rules so the Lame ones will remain anonymous. I also will say that PM's can be ok if you want to discuss a legitimate issue. However most respectable people will just air their displeasure on 200.
  Not so for two Lame teamates. They decided to address me in tandem after I had a kill on one of them. Note that earlier in an engagement pilot 1 attempted a head on shot at the first merge that I avoided. I usually lose in the head on so I usually will try to avoid. So later by myself and up against both pilots with #2 covering his mentor #1 (a totally legitimate combat procedure) I was getting the worst of it, smoking, aileron out, ect. I attempted to land at the closest V-base on this certain Island and #1 wants to claim his prize. Run? No way. Stupidly I turned to face certain death here he comes and I unload what ammo was left. I watched as his F4 plummeted to earth in a fireball no doubt ruining a great scoring run.  :neener:
  Now I had gotten killed by #1 many times and never would cry about it as I try to get better at this GAME with my limited time I get to play. They PM me in tandem and I try to show their lameness to the community by calling them out on 200 (without naming them) but #1 and his #2 remained silent on 200 (though they talked to others previously). The extent of their PM's were just to call me names as they that have no brains will instead of having a conversation.
   People will leave a Community if too many in it are disrespectable. Lucky for us I think they are few and thank those that realize AH is a computer GAME but there are people on the other end.  :salute

Actually, rule #17 states that lame PMs are to be posted here with names and screen shots.  Go ahead  :D

  I looked over the rules and can't find that #17.  :headscratch:

 I do think someone will claim "Rule #4" was broken but this was intended to remind that AH is only a Game in the big scheme of things. Something I too had forgoten at one point myself.  :noid

I limit my post-death whining to squaddies on Vent  

The day that I get so angry that I need to cry about my death in a computer game on #200, or via PM to the guy that killed me, is the day I pack up my joystick...

I'll be seeing you face to face possibly next month.

Most all PMs that I receive are from folks just wanting to talk about planes or a recent fight. Extremely rare for one to be derogatory at all.

Does it matter? Maybe the fights were better on the other side...

Heck, some of the best fights are against people you know and respect.

Scuzzy did not have time to update the list so we call it the secret rule.  I am sure he can verify it is true when he gets here.
