My opponent flew off the board (his side), with feul remaining, solely to avoid getting shota at a second consequetive time. THis is a league game in which, almost certainly I would have score points in. This is an example of very poor etiquette. He retired with honor, off his side of the map. How do you figure that is poor etiquette, never less "very poor"? It looks like he retired because the match was over, not "solely to avoid getting shot at". Seriously - was he supposed to turn away from his lines with only 3 fuel left? That's not honorable - that's stupid.
The following is from the "How to play" link under Blue Max on this site:
Retiring with Honor
In some cases, retiring is not a dishonorable decision, expecially after a tough fight. If your plane is in one of the following condition, and you exit the map from the correct side, you'll be considered honorable:
� Almost without fuel, with less than 3 fuel left in your tank,
� Without engine, i.e. engine completely destroied
� Having all your guns destroyed.
He did not meet these criteria yet the site awarded him a honorable retirement. I have played a lot of games here and the instance of someone retiring without honor is very rare. Also TX, 6 feul (how much feul he had before his last move), sitting on your map edge, in a Dr.1 is a lot of feul - it is a very maneuverable plane.
