People just take stuff too seriously I think. Except IB, of course.

Killing any pod is good if it increases ones own chance of getting the favour returned.

Also I just like to annoy certain people, A LOT.

It was more annoying when the stats software counted pod kills as real kills.

I pod kill newbs. I figure they'll have more fun and likely to stick with the game if they don't spend half of every game in a pod. Besides, sometimes I feel really mean podding someone who never had a chance.

Oh yeah, also it means our team's kb will grow faster.

Usually though, "skill" is used to covertly mean "match the game exactly to my level of competence." Anyone who is at all worse than me should fail utterly (and humorously!) and anyone better is clearly too caught up in the game and their opinions shouldn't count.

I agree with the first part.

Didn't think of the second part, good thinking.

doesnt killing pods NOT increase your kill bonus?
im pretty sure thats what i was told by about half the community when i joined
the other half i just didnt get the chance to meet /smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

and killing 0 kb pods is bad because then they get to respawn, and their kill bonus was nothing to begin with, so they dont have a disadvantage with that
put in simpler terms, they respawn imediately with no disadvantage
Never give up.

Every time you kill a pod, God kills a kitten.

The pilot does get stupider per each pk.
I loose my motivation to help out more and more each day to drama like this. Which is why I am mostly /meh on this point. I will continue to play as I always have, with the morals I have been rasied with and if this community finds they don't like myself and others like me who just enjoy playing the game with their friends on TS or squadies, then they can ban us and my Warhammer account, Girlfriend, and IRL activities will get a lot more attention and will thank them.
