We did this for a while untill the axis squads made continuous rude remarks. The fun was over and that was the last of it. I know there are still a few squads that fly "missions" but are not anounced.
Anyway, we might just plan something for thursday night. This might be a good time to try it again. Hopfully attitudes will cgange or it will be our last.
We need to head off the bullsh*t animosity before it starts again. It does nothing but give a black eye to the CT and prevents growth. Not mention having guys who would normally get along wanting to step outside over what supposed to be fun. I should know, Ive gone round and round with guys defending why I fly the way I fly, what I think others should be doing, or why my squad is better than this one or that one. Its seems in the past anytime we had squads, Allied or Axis, running missions it was some of the best fights (in my opinion, and others) But then one off colored comment from either side on channel one from either side and its goes to hell in a habd basket. It turns the CT into chat room for text buffer warriors and does nothing but drive people out. (sometimes whole squads) I know you cant tell people how to act, and some get off on running thier mouths. All I will ask of CT regulars, is do your part and take it down a notch. We have a nice little sand box here but its been better( and worse) I think having organized ops (what ever they may be) on tues and thurs squad nights is a vital part of the CT. For those who want to, we should make the most of it. Hawk, you and your squad are as important to making this work as much as any others. I ask that you hang in there and you guys do what you can.
BTW, as far as running your mouth on the BBS and Ch 1. I know Ive been at the forefront of this many times( a helluvalot actually) I wont apologize for all of it, but most of the time it did nothing for the CT. Its part of my nature, but Im going to make an effort to keep it in check.
There are a dozen different definitions of what the CT is "supposed" to be, and people will defend their definition very heatedly. The bottom line (and this may sound oversimplified but it's not) is that "it is what it is". It is all of those things at different times, and it always changes..
The only thing the CT is supposed to be is fun. Like he said, it is what it is. Make the most of it.
Let me ask eveyone this if someone were to post that a mini mission was about to take place who would be interested in participating? I'm asking this because the idea of running missions in the CT has been kicked around by us in the 312th for awhile but the problem is we don't know if anyone would even want to participate.
I think your best bet will be to utilize the BBS to try to get a feel for how many want to participate and to let opposing squads know whats up. A mission is in the works for tuesday and most likely thursday. Hawk, get with me on the HA forum or email if you want in. Actually, Im asking you to get in on it. Let me know
