Pony Pilots, Get The Lead Out!!!

I just think the intentions behind this idea should have been communicated along with the announcement of the event. I guess it is a point to note for next time.:)

If the teams want to, and have been, aggressively recruiting players that want to form up early they have my full support.

I would much prefer an event filled with players who are aggressive in team building over one filled with last minute slot filling and then we don't see them until 10 min before frame 1.

If that is the type of player you are, feel free to do just that.  But for crying out loud get off the backs of those who want to do it differently.  

Please explain to me a better way.

We have the rules.  The COs are in place.  The schedule is in place.  The teams are pre-building with Energy and Enthusiasm far in advance of the registration start date.  Leadership spots have been filled with self starting people, who have made it clear to anyone that listens that they are Not concerned with the planes and rules, but have full confidence that they can handle Anything thrown at them and will deal with Any difficulties that comes their way.

Is there some flaw in this plan that has been missed?


It just doesn't make sense to me to announce an event, but not open up registration, and then come to the forums and complain that guys aren't signing up for it.  I also can't see how, come August 1st, if I sign up for an event scheduled for the fall, that's considered last minute?

I guess the question I would have is why not open up the official registration when the event is announced?  It would prevent a lot of confusion.  But whatever, it was early in the morning and I hadn't had my caffeine yet, it was just one of who things that you read and go "what the heck".  I didn't mean to offend anyone.

But thinking about reorganising the event, even changing the time frame because not enough pony drivers registered before registration is even up is rather strange...


I re-iterate and stand with Lusche.  Aggressive pursuit of pilots great... but re-organizing you basic squad structure before most people even know there will be another event, is quasi-sensationalism.  I appreciate enthusiasm, yet, making it sound desperate and sensational before registration is even open....

Could it be we're just having fun?

The 38 and 47 GLs have been tweaking the 51 GLs a bit which got the Spam can guys a bit energized.   And folks are into this for some reason which is kinda fun.

How bout we keep going with the fun and get 400 people in this thing and fill the skies with LW and USAAF birds all trying to stay alive while blasting each other out of the sky.

Fun, good people, playful competition and a general sense of respect for what we're trying to do and the people who are participating?

Just a thought.  I'm having a ton of fun already and we're 2 months away. :)
