wat ever happended to pilots with honor

[Dead Man Flying]

Lighten up, folks.  Fly how you want, but don't expect others to fly how you fly.  That's just an exercise in frustration that leads to forum posts like this one.

DejaVu, all over again.  It's almost as if someone lifted pages from AW from the 90s and posted them here.  Like Dead Man said: "lighten up".

btw, I love this lil emote:  kewl!

Next time I see this Corky character... I'm gunna change sides and ho'em.

It is a silly game INK   That being said, how you approach anything is a reflection on you as a person.  So I'd hope that folks would get what you are saying. 

I get what he's saying and the Race to the Bottom is all about moral hazard and adverse selection - honorable people will be so infuriated that they too will join the race. Consider any kind of irregular or asymmetric warfare or game, for that matter. Adverse selection eventually takes over or one side loses.

Hmm... not something I've heard of before, but I can follow the logic.

So essentially, competitive online games turn people into Aholes by their very nature?  A 'dweeb engine' if you will?

It seems inline with my observations.

Don't remember anything of the sort. You better have a film/screenshot to back this one up.

For the record, you've blown yours by being a mouth in the Ch200.

And flat out lies like the above one certainly won't raise it any.

Yes Wmaker I'm sure you don't remember but I do.

I dont have to lie....the truth has no agenda.

As I recall it was YOU that opened up on 200ch...not me after I killed your Brew. All I did was salute you as a sign of respect.

And yes if need be I will start start recording so your fellins wont get hurt.

I would not have said anyting at all about this if you had not made such fit on 200ch after I downed you.

Wait! So your telling us this as been going almost as long as these flight sims games have been around   ! That's BS south! It all started last week  . (mmmmmm. I smell sarcasm here   )

To quote that guy from fallout(dont recall his name right now) : War. War never change.

This is as close as I ever wanna be to war. But I think it's a fair representation. If you let your guard down 1 second, your dead. You put your nose (figuratively speaking) where you shouldn't, your dead. that's it. That's all.

There is 2 rules I live by in this game

1-stay out of the other guy gunsight (IE : If I get shot down it's MY fault. The other guy just accomplished what he set out to do)
2-get my gunsight on the bad guy

#1 I'm getting the hang of it slowly. #2 I have a hard time doing... I'm still a bit green.

That's how I fly. Do whatever you want. The day I learn to stay out of your sights, it wont matter whatever shot you try to take. I wont be there  

See ya in the skys gents.

As I said before, I already proved you are lying as the HTC kill stats don't lie. There isn't a a kill of me flying a Brewster done by you found from the kill stats. Now you talk about Ch200 before it was a PM, now which is it?

I repeat, this kill you claim to have done can't be found from the kill stats. That basically proves that nothing you are claiming here happened and no wonder I don't remember such incident. Hard to remember something that hasn't happened.

In life in general, if you are gonna start accusing someone of something you better be darn sure you can back it up. Otherwise, you'll look like an insulting liar...well, which you are.

You are nothing but a liar.

There is another Widowmaker that plays, maybe you're complaining about the wrong one.

So, me defending myself against false accusations makes you "roll your eyes"?

I'm well aware you don't like me and yes due to your retarted conduct I woudln't pee on you if you were on fire...I'd rather grab popcorn and watch the show. The aftermath would leave a higher quality genepool for sure.

...but all of the above is really beside the point. As, no matter how low of an opinion I have about someone I still consider it to be a virtue to remain objective in this type of situations. I think it shows high moral ground when one puts aside ones personal agenda/feelings and looks the issue objectively. I wouldn't blindly defend a friend of mine if he acts like a moron and gets what's coming to him nor would I blindly cheer when someone who I don't like so much would get falsely accused. Justice, rectitude, fairness and equity I believe are the words I'm looking for here. As you don't seem to be showing any of that you truly are in the oxygen waster category.

I don't think it's the game bringing it out in people, I think it's the society we live in that nurtures it. More and more people spend their lives interacting with other through a computer instead of face to face. Whiles this gives us a broader reach and sampling of people, it also gives everyone anonymity. People do, say, and act however they want and nobody can correct them. Aholes abound! There are no consequences on the internet. More and more kids have a problem interacting with others face to face these days. They don't understand why their little "online personas" get them in trouble when dealing with real people.

Ha! You really think your opinion means anything to me? You are an arrogant appendage who really needs to learn some humility. You should also realize going around calling others idiots only makes you look like a tard.

I actually like this point, Fugi. Other analogs are thick on the ground. For example, consider the explosion in the popularity of porn once it changed to an anonymous distribution channel, or, for an older phenomenon, consider how even the "nicest" people can be total bungholes when you put them inside a motor vehicle. I livr in a nice residential neighbothood with a 25 mph speed limit. Generally, people obey it - yet, unerringly, there appears to be a cadre of women who tend to go about 50 through here at around 5 or 6pm. Anecdotal? Absolutely - but who hasn't seen an otherwise decent person morph into King Turd once they can do so with impunity?

Otherwise, I'd correct you - for this is a particular case of your general point. Yes to both, - the broader phenomenon and the game are bunghole makers - but responsibility for this STILL must be awarded the a-hole in question. Otherwise, we only issue accelerators in the race to the bottom.
