I was playing Battlefield 1943 yesterday, an online first person shooter game. It's fantastic fun and recently a new mode was unlocked: Air Superiority. It's a planes only version of the game for the players who like the airplane part of the game.
Each time you respawn, you start on one of two aircraft carriers on your side of the map. There's no way to get anywhere in the map without a plane. I spawned after a spectacular crash where I'd ploughed straight into another aircraft (which handily counts as a kill for both of us). There were no planes available, and two other players waiting for the planes to respawn, of which there are only ever two to use. Being nice (and British) I waited until the two guys who'd been there earlier than me got their planes and got back into the battle. Another player spawned behind me after they'd taken off, and immediately starts giving me abuse and shooting me (which, because we're on the same side does no damage). He then nicked the first plane that spawned and took off.
What a git!
To show that the universe has a sense of fairness, he immediately died in the most spectacular way. He hadn't even got his wheels off the deck before an enemy plane, fluffing a bombing run on our carrier in the most horrendous way, smashed straight into him head on.
I laughed so hard, I fell off my seat.
