-Flying for Ozzy
-Not having a nan onboard your scout and a miner getting killed because of it
-Flying through a fully camped aleph with a capital ship/bomber when you know good and damn well you arn't going to last 2 seconds yet you do it anyways
-Holding 5 massdrivers in your interceptors cargo slots so it takes 5 minutes to reach full speed
-Nicely flying up to the enemy garrison and dropping mini 3 for them to use with there brand new Adv Exp

-For ordering a miner to go into enemy home.
-For straying from the path to pick up missiles when you are Rixian Unity.

-For the commander's lust to hear that woman's voice that says, "Pilot missing in action, presumed as dead".

-Attempting to resign
-Working at less than 100% effeciency (And even then theres a chance)

Having been given an order to go to a certain sector, and a PM to "defend the con to there" - being three sectors away when the con died.
Launching at an op by yourself when it's camped by a gs.
Being an idiot in a bbr.

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 don't think I've ever been booted for doing something stupid . . . .

Do you guys feel sorry for my lag? I don't lag all the time, you know.

Being booted when making the simple mistake of dropping prox instead of tp2 and then getting booted for it before you get the chance to drop that tp2 you were going to drop. /glare.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":glare:" border="0" alt="glare.gif" />
