"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

I did, and was thouroughly shocked when Command grinded my ass about it.  Nowadays, I just immediatly start attacking my "wingmates" when the thing jumps in...

I did.  I thought it was one of those tests where you have to take part in certain activities in order to maintain your covert status - a not unusual situation for an undercover agent.  I too was taken aback at the debriefing.

The first time I did, same reason as goober.

The second time I tried running away from them, you know, put some distance between us... Didn't help...

First time I didn't destroy it, but when I played the campaign over I did to see what would happen.

Nope because the GTVA is based on the Beta Aquilae convention and that says no civilians may be hurt in military ops.

Ahh, seriously though I didn`t not all because of the BA convention and me being an upstanding pilot. I didn`t because as soon as Snipes was reassigned I got suspicous and thought "Even if I take it out they`ll blow me to kingdom come.... Nope I`m not gonna toast civilians, sat back and nodded when they went red...

Kicked their ass though, suckers.

"Sorry you wont recive you`re med..." heh heh die asshole.

I didn’t know what to do when the thing jumped in. I ended up staring at it too long and my wingmen turned on me.

I did the first time, and felt pretty bad... then I wasn't very happy that my "wingmen" shot at me anyway... so I restarted and did it right, killed my wing before they could even "test" me. Never got chastised by Command... may have to go check that out sometime. ;)

Rather scary how many people followed orders without questioning them.

I didn't blow up the transport of course. When my wingmen started threatening me I simply looped round and sat behind one of them waiting for them to change sides. (although I did later try it to see what would happen).

It was similar in the first mission of the loop. I didn't shoot down any of the vasudans cause I missed Snipe's message that they were renagades so I avoided shooting them and concentrated on the asteroids.

Then again I'm the sort of person who says sorry to the innocent bystanders I run over when playing GTA III :D

I kinda have a morbid sense of humor.... so when they gave me the order to kill civilians i thought "kill civilians?  Pfffft.... hell no".  Then a few seconds later i said aloud "DIE!!!!!" and blew the transport to hell :D .  I laughed when command scolded me.

i didn't kill the civilians, i just said: "o crap, they found out" i circeled the transport and destoyed my "wingmates"

but it is indeed scary to see how many people say "yes sir" and kill 500 people.

Never fired a shot at the civvies.  When I got the order, I pulled back and sent about a dozen tempests up Alpha 2's... exhaust.

Excellent firefight, and it shut that irritating little git up real good.
