Ive ranted before about wingmen in general, but Ive joined some games lately, that well? just dont make sense.............

Flew with the same guy in about 5 games, big and small. In three he has just left.........no reason he had taken damage, but nothing to bad.


why? i just dont get it? going from a chance to get the win to no chance ?

I wish I could say his was the only name I remember but theres about 4 I never fly with because of this.

..............venting..................


I may be shopping for a new pair of shoes, but I hope these don't fit. I have left games, but usually for what I consider valid reasons (no guns, facing five opponents, etc.). However, if I am one of the guys you won't fly with, please send me a private e-mail and let me know. I know I am not much of a wingman, but I certainly do not want to irritate other players. Particularly the good ones.

Bottom line is this- if my behavior offends, and not just with respect to leaving games early, let me know.



I think this is an essential factor in the relationship between players (and humans!).

Just walking away without saying anything is also a bit cowardly. The thing is, with a little communication a good proportion of such silent disagreements can be put to rest.

I almost always write a short message to someone who seems to me to leave early. And some have good reasons - ie going on holiday and not wanting to slow the game down, or having no IDEA that leaving early is frowned upon by most players (and when told, they often change their habits).

Of course this isn't always the case, but I'm certainly willing to take the time to write a short, courteous message for even a 40% positive result.

So communication, at least once, is fundamental to the ethos of sportsmanship, IMO.
