First of all, it does cover only stopping the President from flying Rustlers- check the "All aircraft except for Shamals, Hydras and Rustlers" option. You can change your vote.
Either I am blind, or this option was not present yesterday. Both are equally possible though.
I would be ready to bet that if you put this poll in the game and got a 100% response rate from people that understood it, the President would be able to fly everything. It's the people on the forums who claim falsely that it will ruin the gamemode, while they meanwhile ignore the President much of the time because he's only one kill for their K/D ratio and either armor camp or hunt new players.
If it was a pass against me, then you've got apparently no idea about how I am playing. Anyways, it looks more like demagoguery. Most of the players wouldn't just care anyways. You are maybe right about our regulars, but newbies don't always follow the gamemode as well because they are confused and they've got no idea about what to do. Go on, ask newbies ingame, collect their replies and show their opinion to us without those empty statements. In turn, I would be ready to bet that 90% would ignore you, 5% would say something like "I don't care" and only 5% remaining would probably reply anything constructive. Most of more or less regular players have an account here, on Forums - they are free to express their opinion. But why do we always see the same persons in the Suggestions board?
The whole point is that you vote how you personally want to vote, you don't vote to reflect how you think everyone else feels.
I am always trying to say and to do what I consider to be right. It doesn't always work IRL unfortunately, but we are free from most of the frames here, in the Internet. So, you can be sure that I am sincere in what I am saying here. I just think that, if you suggested something and it got refused, it is not a right thing to do to expose it again under different wrapper. When we talk about presidents using airplanes, we talk mostly about rustlers. Less often - about shamals or hydras. Our community - active part of our community - doesn't want it, whether you like it or not. I don't like when my suggestions got refused as well, I also consider them to be sane and needed. But I am not alone on the server. Even if I was... As I said, it didn't change my gaming experience. So I wouldn't probably change anything - just for the sake of nonincreasing entropy.
That's how morons like Trump get elected.
It made me laugh IRL, thank you. Not the phrase itself - I don't know, maybe it is true - but the context you've used it within.
I have always said that "air camping" is a bullshit misnomer. "Camping" implies that it's defensible, which it isn't- anyone in a Rustler or slower can be shot down given enough time to get to them and two planes or a plane and a gunner against them. You know this, and I think many other people do as well, though it's convenient for them not to admit it, because then they'd often be admitting they don't have the skill to do it because they're unfortunately used to an entire dimension of the game being cut out (I think this would be a non-issue if flying had always been allowed).
For obvious reasons I won't be playing linguistic games with you, but we both understand what they mean when they call it "camping" - president uses this "closed" third dimension as a "place" to camp, a place unreachable for most newbies and half of regulars due to their poor aircraft skills. Again, whether you like it or not, it is a fact. I maybe agree that players' lack of skill is not a valid reason to prohibit anything - but, again, our community has already expressed its opinion about it.
People used to fly the Cropdusters in WV and LV all the time in the old server, when it was badly coded. They probably would have flown Stuntplanes and Dodos if they could have. Just because you wrongly think no one would use them, they apparently shouldn't be allowed?
Again, let's leave demagoguery behind. You don't know if Stuntplanes, Dodos, Cropdusters etc would be flown if they were allowed so it is incorrect to claim that statement to be right or wrong.
Anyways... Since you've added the respective option and since it comes along with my position better than the others, I will change my vote to the third option. Let's see how this plays out.
