FTK does work and it reduces the time penalty for TKing; im not sure if it cancels out the TK in terms of 1/3 becoming 0/3 or not.

Reading your explanation I do feel you're not quite getting how things are supposed to work.  Everyone TK's, and everyone gets kicked from time to time; I always laugh when a fellow admin gets kicks, but I laugh harder when I do!  However, we are not suppose to TK.  Think of a sport, say basketball, you get 5 fouls and then you're off.  If you get five fouls in one game and the referee sends you off it doesn't matter that you were in "the thick of it" or not, you're out of here buddy!  When I played basketball at high school, and I was on three fouls, then I checked my play, I played with less overt aggression and more careful aggression.  You don't have to stop playing aggressively but, for crying out loud, be careful!  Use your minimap, pay attention to who is around you, not just in the immediate vicinity, but also who might be within lethal range when your grenade, etc, explodes, and be considerate.

I'm not a very good player, and I love my grenades; they get me half of my kills!  But I seldom get kicked for TK's.  When you get kicked for TK'ing then you have to say to yourself "OK, in the next round I'm not going to get ANY TK's".  Challenge yourself to be a better, more careful, player.   

And by the way, team wounding is still an offense even if you are !twound'ing a TK'er: "If I find a TK'er, I just sit there and shoot near his feet".

They can but not for very long; 1.75 seconds I believe.

It is possible; it's just not easy.

Congratulations to the West Indies!

It's pretty good the way it is.  Use your minimap and be careful about where you throw grenades, drop bombs, lob artillery, and race your jeep and you'll be fine.  Let us know if anyone's deliberately jumping in front of your vehicles; that happens from time to time.  But all in all it makes players play more carefully and it's not too hard to finish a round without being kicked.

Remember that you get three kicks a day, but after that you're banned permanently (or until you come back and ask nicely to have it lifted [bring cupcakes for faster removal]).

Kept half an eye on Bounty Hunter Lani since s/he was complaining about TK'ers but didn't give #numbers or names; figured s/he was either a troll or a few sandwiches short of a picnic. 
Bounty's score was -1/0/7, or something like that; there were no other humans with negative scores.

Bounty Hunter Lani on the forum:

"Everyone who knows me in the evenings knows that I do not do that, and I have lots of friendly fun on that server. They all know I am not a problem..."

"There are lots of people in the evenings that could vouche for me, an (BB)DinkW unfairly banned me from the server I have lots of fun with friends on..."

Slushy Cow is a bot.

Hitting people with a plane or running them down with a jeep is still attacking.  You don't need to be using armaments; guns, bombs, lasers, knives, etc, for it to be considered "attacking".

You said it was accidental, and you said you were mistakenly in the wrong base; that's understandable, however your response wasn't apologetic, it was demanding.  If you made a mistake then it would be better to apologise and promise not to repeat the offence; you'll not speed up your unbanning but making demands.

Were you doing anything disruptive?

I'll read all this at some time, but I fear when I'll have time it will have grown by another volume.

You sound like Idi Amin: "His Excellency, President for Life, Field Marshal Al Hadji Doctor Idi Amin Dada, VC, DSO, MC, Lord of All the Beasts of the Earth and Fishes of the Seas and Conqueror of the British Empire in Africa in General and Uganda in Particular". 

No one took him seriously either.   I believe he died eating oranges in Saudi Arabia.

Lol.  I'll have a look tomorrow.  I think info on planes from the 70s or earlier should but public by now.

Do you want to learn about V-Speeds in general?  They seem to be more of a civil requirement for the aviation industry and a reasonably recent one at that.  I'm sure WW2 era military aircraft had their own versions but they may have been more along the lines of: "Don't take off slower that 80knts", kinda thing. 

Anyway, here's some links for general information:

Here's a site for Cessna 172 SP - V Speeds.  You can study the material and even test yourself - who knows, you might be flying in the real world someday!

But if you're more interested in WW2 aircraft then here's a paper I found:

Same info in chart form:

But I think this is the goldmine for WW2 era aircraft, though it's not laid out for the layman:

Is it true they're not really made from dairy products?
Or was that just an urban myth perpetuated by The Simpsons?

For sure!  And none of this changing angles nonsense, are you flying a Spitfire or a radio controlled plane at the park?  Use front view only and if you start taking damage swerve violently in every direction until you lose them or crash into a tree.  That's the honourable way to fly.  That's how the pioneers flew.
