CAPS! ANGRY CAPS! BIG `OL ANGRY CAPS!

I miss dis game, Miss Scarlett!

Changing of things not, sahib.

But referencing Toad's opinion .... neh .... don't seem spot on. HiTech's been a supporter of the CT ... not to "give enough rope." You should know that. The CT is the closest thing to "Tour of Duty" we gots right now. HT is actually into more realism. ;)

Did you talk to him about back when he made the decision? He supports it alright, but not for the reason you think.  :)

I have always seen the CT as a place to go for some fun plane match ups, nice maps, very often a place to find some good fights and a generally laid back enviorment.

A few bad apples who are trying too hard won't ruin that image for me.

If you'd paid attention to what I wrote at the beginning, you'd have seen that I was pointing out that for things to change I thought that the CT vets and leaders needed to be aware of how some folks are presenting themselves here in the Forum.

I never took a shot at JG54.  I suggested that while Storch's heart seems to be in the right place, as in wanting things to improve, he and the CT would be better served if the presentation was better ie; don't get in pissing contests with Skuzzy for example.

I also suggested that some, emphasis on some, of the folks associated with Storch's squad need to consider how their actions reflect on him, his squad and the CT in general.

I then got VWE telling me to shut up and fly, and now you saying you are gonna take your ball and go home ....

as for your challenge to submit ideas, I did so in this previous thread

Ok allmetal. Let me pull up my soapbox. The problem with the CT is the gaminess that goes along with the egos that are present.
Whats funny about the egos is that none of us are close to being top sim pilots. Yet the mouths run talking crap about runners and gangers yet we dont hesitate to run or gang. Now getting ganged is common place in the CT. But sinking CV's or parking CV's right off shore, base capturing, Vulching with GV's or vulching period then saying its not vulching cus wheels were up is crazy. DAR has made the CT a better place for guys like me who just want to fight. To attract more players we need to cut out the gaminess and egos. Let 1 v 1 be 1 v 1. Just keep the fights even. No need to talk trash over ch 1. and show some respect. Basically we need an arena full of oldmans.

On a side note my first encounter with shane wasnt pleasant. He trashed talked me and my fighting even tho I was new. I told him to shut up and fly. Not long after I asked him to show me his reversal. We went to the DA and he was a great instructor. How many trash talkers in the CT will do that?

Funny how it all works.  There were a few of us in there tonite.  Slash stopped in to check to see if things were working ok.  He didn't have time to fly, but was making sure the CT was working fine.

Kinda nice, I thought, that he did so.

A couple of us went into the MA to try and get some folks to come fly and we had a bit of luck. Fights were good for the most part.

Sadly, I think it irked Storch a bit as he blasted the 38 drivers, and implied it was an uber plane, then made some other comments about people coming in, almost like we'd invaded his personal domain.

That's the stuff I was talking about when I started this thread. Storch clearly has invested a lot of time and energy into the CT.  For that he is to be commended.  At the same time, because he is so visibile, his reaction to new folks coming in should be a positive one.

Allmetal piped in to this thread telling us to do something about it.  OK we did.  We went and got some MA folks to come fly and folks had fun.

You can't have it both ways though.  It's going to take some real effort by the regulars to give those folks we can get into theCT from the MA, to come back again, and part of that is the interaction between people on both sides.

Very serious kudos to BatfinkV for the tone he was setting and the work he did to get MA folks to come fly the CT.  He had far better luck then I did.

Overall its pretty simple. Just treat each other with respect and understand that there are limitations to exactly how much we as players and staffers can do to make this a "historical" matchup arena.

I learned a long time ago that you can't please everyone all of the time so its best to just no worry about it and move on.
