Duplicate Squads

[humble]

I've flown under a bunch of different CPID's....

Again, respect is earned not asked for....and you guys havent earned a thing...end of conversation:)

And every one of those squads earned the respect (and @#$#@$) of the community as a whole...and each others. It did (and does) mean something to be deemed worthy by any of the above mentioned squads...all of which are "invitation only"....walk the walk....dont mumble the talk.

Call them what you want but I've always had a blast playing with and against the checkertails. Real professional and friendly bunch of guys. I for one was sorry to see them leave the CT as a whole. I knew when I saw a cloud of death overhead that stream and company were on their way to either save my butt or tear it to shreds

But on to the question at hand. I agree with slash that I doubt the other guys chose the squad name with malice intended but maybe it should be discussed, hence, this thread being created in the first place.

I think this is something that can be handled between the two squads as this community generally has to hash things out itself which is a good thing in most respects.

They are a great bunch of guys, good natured, friendly and they work as a team with each other as well as with other squads/countrymen. I have never seen or heard any of them attack or speak ill of anyone's character.
 I think Stream was just looking for an over all opinion of what the community thought about this before approaching the duplicate squad. No harm in that and no bounderies were crossed.
If a squad has to "earn rights to the squad name/identity" then perhaps half the squads in AH should be disbanded. As far as that goes, perhaps even some CPID's need changed. This, however, is not my way of thinking.

Last time I checked The 479th Raiders fit the bill.


You don't here much from us. To Busy tring to walk the walk


We are New to the AH Community but a Squad of Guys who fly an online Sim to last 10 years Kinda speaks for itself.

Don't think we Asked for anyones Respect no do I want it. I just Play a Game and have some fun doing it.

From the perspective of this 10+ year vet you as a squad have done nothing to establish any meaningful positive reputation that enables you to lay any "claim" to the 325th checkertail squad.


After 10 years I would have thought you'd have a clue. Your assesment of the 325th is as off as it gets. You either have them confused with another CT squad or you're full of ****. The are/have been squads in the CT that are more intrested in attacking undefended bases but they are in the minority.


 Theres a reason the CT is down to 10-15 folks or less

 Has more to do with the change over to AH2 and lack of maps. But keep rolling your eyes.




I upped in the CT prior to posting my "this is why the CT blows chunks" thread it was the same such bunch of checkersnails flying 12 strong in your little clique pounding the digital dirt....while the "other" CT squad was on the other side of the map doing the same thing...


Sounds more like you went in there looking for an excuse to bash the CT on the BBS on whatever you could come up with. Im guessing you were shot down by the 325th and cant get over it.

Hehe....

90% of the folks who fly the CT seemed to agree with me...they also seem to think your a foul mouthed noob....seems your the primary reason that ch 1 was squelched in the CT....


I used to love the CT, and I hope it comes back strong...

As for "CT squads"....well there is no such thing. Just a bunch of noobs circle jerking on oppisite sides of the map....

[Slash27]

You have confirmed it. You are without a clue. Bordering on a moron actually.

Well I've flown the CT almost daily for 3 years and I can count on one hand the number of times I've even seen you there. Your coments about Slash and the Checkertails shows just how clueless you are about the goings on in the CT.

[storch]

Isn't humble the "veteran" that logged onto the CT one time a while back, got his arse repeatedly waxed, started trash talking everyone became angry with the quick retorts then posted the now locked 3 page thread "why the CT blows chunks"?

You assesment of the 325th is way off base, no one dislikes slash well ok maybe you do but certainly no one else that plays in the CT does.  (90% indeed)

I'll go out on a limb here and invite you back to our CT.  nothing quite as fun as whacking "old school" "veterans" like yourself.  great sport really.

Are you just making things up as you go along? I mean this is a great story and all, fiction can be fun. I prefer the reference section, much more enlightening.

Humble, I think you are confusing Slash and Storch. Slash is most deffinately not a noob, and Storch has the sharp tounge.

As far as the 325th goes, they are all pretty classy guys even though I dont share their goal of ultra-realisim, but I do respect them for it. Are you sure you dont have them mixed up with another squad?

Bingo Grits....

I did...and for that I apologize to Slash.

As for the 325th. Nope I dont have them confused with anyone. Back when they showed up in the CT they were asked repeatedly to break up and switch sides to "even" things out. They always prefered to simply gangbang the digital dirt (now that might have changed over time).

The CT used to be like a great pick up basketball game....sides and players always changed but the games were always great. The 325th is the straw that changed that in the CT (IMO)...to me just a bunch that couldnt cut it in the MA so they went to the CT.
