EchoFox muted permanently for vulgar, racist, and other abusive texting. The most publishable was "go to **** u little punk with downs syndrome." Okaayyy, you can come on the forum to explain yourself, but I don't think it will do much good. You're lucky you're not banned for that drivel.

BLAKHAWK, philip06, 1001, and [111th]Sky Raptor were witnesses. He had been shooting at reds, but I think he got tired of eating lead and took it out on his team.

Just catching up after a couple of days away.
I was not there. There is someone flying as FLYMAGICK. Possibly other variables as well.
I'm with KESTRAL on this. You might think it's flattering until someone uses your name and then does crappy stuff.
It's tough enough on the mods to handle the name changes on some of the banned folks.
Now using other's name variants will only add to the confusion.
To whoever is doing it...cease and desist. Fly your own name or don't fly. When you screw-up people will think it is us.

I thought it was you saying that Books was teamkilling... I saw him do it once myself also, but it might have been an accident... As a general rule, when FLYMAGIC tells me that someone is teamkilling, I believe him.
Oh well...

Yup that was both of us. I was the one you were wearing out. You make my hands tired holding this pad over my head for 10 min. At a time. You make me work hard at getting a kill. Always interesting going in circles with you jack. I like to see you blue and not red. You always test my skills.
Yes Jacklpe, Books is a teamkiller. Saw it in about three games now. Not a very good one, but he will get a team mate off the runway.

Books banned for 2 days.

As for infamous, the mods are paid the big bucks, mostly to pass the buck back to you guys and ask you to clarify to the point of zero doubt. No one wants to ban the wrong player! (Well...) Currently, the only infamous-like name above rank 1 is "infamous1", but since no one was able to i.d. that particular name, we'll have to wait until he inflicts more blue damage and someone snaps a pic.

What can be done about this Misfit imposter? He's clearly enjoying sticking it in our faces that he's an unauthorised squad member. What do they call that, ummmm, trolling?

I asked him to not fly our squad name. He has been asked not to, and Ghost has been asking other squads to shoot on site.

I dont look forward to it, but I'll be forced to TK the heck outta this guy til he quits it. At my own risk of ban. And so will my squadmates.

Evidence of trolling and name calling here, please mods, is there a set precidence for what can be done about this guy?

Thanks:)


Maydy banned till he/she shows up and explains

Maydy/mikeslu your ban will be removed today. Destroying your own hangers and killing your team mates is one rule enforced by 5 minute ban and reports here by other players. Please do not do that. To all players if your blue your cool, Red your dead. I believe the two/three kill before the ban is for accidents not for retaliation. The Blacklist thread is made to resolve these issues as fair as possible. If you want to shoot everybody just play Dogfight missions.

Kevy, were you able to address the squad issue with Maydy by PM? He came on our thread to troll some more and thats fine so long as he's not still out there with our Misfit squad tag.

We may both get fried then... I see it as you do... It's a combat game. Why play if not to win?

I don't know. Anyway.... Same rant, slightly different words.

Later

We all draw the line somewhere. None of this is bannable, and it's a vast gray area for what is "dogfightly professional." Myself, when I see a plane spawning below me, I'll tend to turn away to give them a chance to take off. I generally won't shoot anyone who is in the air but still over the runway; for lower ranks, I definitely won't shoot, but for higher ranks, I might. Once past the runway, I declare fair game for anyone, because anyone can shoot me down in the dogfight at that point.

This shouldn't happen much, since I wouldn't be hovering around a base unless a teammate is coming in with a bomb, or unless I was trying to head back to reload but someone started shooting at me from behind.

In another scenario, early this morning, I was OWNED by someone who kept dropping his bomb in BTB. It took be a while to figure this out (still sleepy). I finally started dropping my bomb, and it evened the battle more - although he was still very very good. In the end, it was a successful strategy on his part, because the other dominant player on his team (Wig) carried a bomb and did much of the game-advancing destruction. My only regret with this tactic is that it does transfer to other players, and suddenly you see everyone emulating it, even when there's no one left to bomb.

But in my current state, using a lousy laggy old phone since my Samsung S3 can't run the game, I'll certainly drop if a red is doing it. It's too annoying to get killed so much by lag hits.

I had the same yesterday, couldn't figure out how who ever it was was getting on me so quick despite what i did..
It irritated me simply because he was just out for kills (BTB Game).
Once I started to drop, it got easier but then I couldn't bomb and now the game won't let me tank either.

On the flip side, I also played a game with Thunderbolt . Just me and him vs 4.
He dropped every run and cut a hole for me to fly through and bomb, when I turned to reload, he covered me back home.
Was a tough game but that's how we won it.

Swings and Roundabouts (as we say over here)

Hate to report anyone but kaka12 needs to learn not to team kill or use bad language.In CTC he shot me down while I was sitting on carrier I warned him along with several others not to shoot red.He continue this behavor the hold game.The game was a FF and yes I went after him and you can see his remark.

Urgh !!! Back Again

I was present and can verify 00 teamkilling and swearing up a storm. Is autoban by swearing possible? His last gesture was ******* followed by immediate quit or boot (or lost conn, but that never happens.)

FFA/Dogfight tank spawnkiller. Got me once, actually caused a crash from shell blast and Snoopy!! Twice. Got vulgar when I called him out on it.

Jenrose, group captain.



Here he is admitting he likes SKing in a tank and his language being filtered.

#841 uprick Brigadier General III


Used vulgar language, using words that the filter did not catch. Inappropriate innuendo directed towards other players in-game. I'd have picture evidence if the Kindle Fire could take screenshots.

I'm sure uprick has displayed behavior like this before. Can anyone verify this?

Was just in a ctc game with doggieman123 who was spawnkilling in tank over and over...I told him he will get banned to which he laughed and continued. He should know better by now. Here are the shots:

Now that I look again I thought only Doggieman123 shot me but kkhoty did too man never seen that before. I left so maybe they both continued...sad that our high ranking players do such things...the game doesn't have enough going on that you need to contribute to the corruption of the game!

Mondo198 wrote: Hi Luna,I have put up with that nonsense as well and when I questioned that player about his inappropriate choice of game name, he told me his name was 'rick' he was putting 'up' in front of his name,

Not so! Our friend wants to be clever and be a smart Alec and have his own way by pushing the bounds of decency as far as he can,
When I asked him in the game "if thats the case why isn't there a space between the 'up' and the 'rick' ?Answer? Silence!

Moderators,we all know that children play this game,are we going to let smarties just make fools of the players that do the right thing ?

Uprick IS smart and clever with his name. I say, nice joke. Any kid who gets this pun gets it because they regularly use such language. You are supposed to be 13 to play this game. 13 year olds dont need protection from his name, or any word it may or may not imply. They know every word in the book, and probably a few that adults dont know. Words become dangerous when used to invoke hate or sorrow in or fellows.

If Uprick's name damages anyone, the repair bill is on me, ok?

If rick "chats" his name after someone shoots him down, it's ok?
Many kids are aware of the word and told not to use it.
Most adults don't tatoo that stuff on their forehead.
If you were out in the "real" world and someone said that to you or your family would it be PUNny?
Is the name harrymansac okay, too? He was flying last night.
Just asking....
