4th side
« on: January 27, 2008, 02:38:39 PM »
Dear HT,

           After having played on all sides, ive come to conclusion we need a 4th side just for squads interested in teamwork.   Im bored of furballs and furballers and I would like to showcase what squad level teamwork can be like.

Any chance?

Why not, 4th Meal is scrumptious!
Treize (pronounced 'trays')- because 'Treisprezece' is too long and even harder to pronounce.

And how exactly should a 4th side improve anything?

Although I agree with Lusche, would be nice to see 4th country but set it as a trial basis. If doesn't work out, can always remove it

I don't think a forth side would solve anything. If you want  show case team work, all you have to do is get a number of "like minded" folk together, and run with it. You said you have been on all teams, did you join mission? Did you post missions? Did you ask if any one runs missions? I know the BOPs run mission on there squad nights and with the numbers they generate its almost like a whole country at times.

The opportunity's there, unfortunately I don't think the player base is. :(

If the 4th country was restricted to squads only, we could police our ranks and insure the kind of players who are interested in teamwork and squad level operations.  As for the ganging.... I would expect it.

The overwhelming majority of players are members  of a squad right now. Restricting 4th country to squads only would leave out only a very few players. Thus you shouldn't expect any noticeable change. And how exactly would you "police" the ranks?

Also the free-form gameplay and arnachy is a feature of the MA's. Teamplay or individualist, everybody can find his pleasure there. If you are looking for rules & structures imposed on everyone, theres snapshots, scenarios and especially the FSO.

Lots of people are in fake squads that have few active members, such types should not be welcomed to country 4.  As for policing the ranks, quite simple, if your squad ejects you, you are by default ejected from country 4 as well.  

I tried FSO, but my personal life and that of many of my squaddies made it nearly impossible for us to commit to it.  We did like it.  Just the start time is too late for many of our members.

Odds are very high there wont ever be a 4th country as I envision it.  Eventually, I'll just tire of the MAs and how it runs and just stop playing altogether.

End of rant.

Bro, i play in the FSO alot, i'm currently flying with the JG/11 for FSO and AvA since as  you said, AA's aren't always free on friday nights, how about you tag along with the JG/11 for frame 3 and see how you like it?

Country 4 only accepts immigration by card-carrying members of secret associations. :noid
