Ok 1st thing is the dumb 6k stuff im flying 5k I do immel then boom EVERY ONE YELLING .EF .EF .EF.
2nd is the dumb 30sec rule used to be 60 I think it should be 60 again.
Maybe a guy has major e on u for coarse u want e too so he hit deck get e now u get few sec that's not chit.
I say wait I took a 30sec phone call I come back flights closed then after they say fight on flights open.
We need BigMax back...
thanks for bringing this to the bbs.
couple things.
1. It was BigMax's idea to go 6k. Fuzeman and myself have not quite "taken over" for him yet. BigMax implemented the new alt last month. I'm sorry you do not like it. It was discussed already, and most seemed to think it's better at 6k. If you are doing an immelman at 5k, you should prob. rethink you tactics, as you will break the alt cap.
2. take a plane up in the ma, and then count out thirty seconds. It is a loooong time. You can cover alot of ground in 30 seconds. KOTH is about fighting, and thirty seconds is plenty of time to extend, get position, dive away, what ever you want. When it was 60seconds, it was almost too long. It fostered the idea that one could extend, and extend, and extend, draging the people chasing them into other fights, and thus avoid the fight. With thirty seconds, you have plenty of time to get E up, and get back into the fight. 30 seconds is a good blend. I noticed that not once tonight, was anybody accused of running.
3. fuzeman opened flight just for you. you were told you could take off. I'm sorry you decided to log instead. BUT you were given the chance to up, and you decided against it.
BigMax, fuzeman and myself are in communication about any/every rule change made. Some where his idea. He WAS supposed to be there tonight, but his video card and cable modem were fried in an electrical storm. I WAS in communication with him on the phone during the koth.
All in all, the koth tonight went well, with few issues. Was good fights and flying by all.
