WW1 Fight Club Interest???
« on: July 01, 2014, 04:17:48 PM »
When I get back to PA next week, I am considering setting up some sort of fight club in the WW1 arena.

I literally have to learn how to do it and get permissions to CM an event.  Either in SEA or in WW1 arena.  I think WW1 arena would be best as it may recruit more participation there in the long term. 

I suppose I'd like to start an interest thread here first and see if there is enough interest to do something there.

We should pick out a day of the week and time of the day that best suits everyone and start there.  Could be nothing more than everyone interested just show up and see how it develops from there.  Possibly set up its own thread in the bbs under special events.

Any thoughts?  pros and cons are welcome.  I think maybe a 2 hour event once a week. 

Maybe someone is already doing this?  If so, advertise it and see where it takes us.  Lately I haven't really flown much in WW1.  I simply like the MAs more, however, you can learn a lot in the WW1 arena and really sharpen your skills there.

Flight Leader: "Bogeys at 2 o'clock!"
Wingman: "Roger, It's 1:30 now, what do I do 'til then?"

I thought Lathrobe and Crabby had something like that going on also.

Ah WWI...deliberately murdered by neglect you might say. Four planes introduced, wildly popular at first. It remains four planes for years, one of them too dominant, so when it becomes stale and interest drops off the official line is "Well, no one is interested in WWI combat anyway..."
"Crikey, sir. I'm looking forward to today. Up diddly up, down diddly down, whoops, poop, twiddly dee - decent scrap with the fiendish Red Baron - bit of a jolly old crash landing behind enemy lines - capture, torture, escape, and then back home in time for tea and medals."

It is rather the same as if the WWII arena had been introduced as a few bases with nothing but furballing and 4 planes, one of them the Tempest, and left that way for months and years. Then it would have failed and people would be saying "Well there's no interest in WWII air combat"  :devil

LOL

If Crabby or Latrobe have something going on, perhaps we need to find the day of week and time.  I'd be interested in showing up so long as it doesn't interfere with FSO.

If not, we should get it going again.  Just a white knuckle kill fest (me dying more than others).

What me and Crabby usually do is flood the WW1 arena when the war is won since the MA is pretty slow at the start of the next one. No real date set, just an unofficial thing we do.  :D
