As for No. 5, the members of the Troll Squadron have hashed out the issue of the chivalry involved in shooting down gliders and/or flamers in games created for the Troll Squadron. It was agreed, unless otherwise indicated in the game creation box, that gliders are out-of-bounds, especially if one declares that they are gliding.


I think this agreement makes the games less interesting.

1) If you're out of fuel, it's your fault: you deserve to be shot down

2) It is sometimes very interesting to feign a broken engine or no fuel, and the try a shot at distance zero. Alright, the chances of accomplishing this are thin, but I've witnessed a couple of games where it worked.


On that note, what is the general opinion if someone declares that they are gliding and asks for mercy?


How? I have no radio on my plane, have you?

I can definitely see your point regarding "less interesting." However, the pilots in the "gent's games" tend to fly a little bit more aggressively than normal, going for more headon's, taking more risks, etc., due to the perceived "out." The more aggressive flying in the gent's games tends to make up for gliders being out of bounds.

As for feigning broken engine, etc., I admit to having tried that ploy on occasion, with limited success. I also, just like a healthy percentage of pilots here, have scored kills while gliding.

As for radios, we all communicate via telepathy, having known each other for 20+ years! Or it could be the chat box...
