Blasphemy!
I know, but you have the benefit of "knowing" me well Bubi. Many, especially on the Allied side do not. My biggest concern upon accepting the position was my "percieved" fanatical dedication to all things Axis. You know fully my unbiased position concerning the health of the Arena.
I think this is being taken to the extream, I also read what Mr Fork had to say about this subject in the beginning and the key word was "Reasonable". During the last round Stampf and myself often found ourselves the only two on in the early AM ( my time), he hitting his strats , me hitting mine, sometimes we would engage, sometimes not, sometimes he was first on , sometimes me. The point is that SOMEONE has to be the first to log on. What ? are we just all going to sit on the side lines till someone calls "OK 1-2-3 start". Someone whining about someone milking is just BS in my opinion, , if you log on and see strats being hit then up a fighter and do something about it, the other player will most likely be glad to have some opposition. As Mr Fork also said "War never sleeps". I thought what we were trying to achieve here was to expand the player base, the new guy logging on or the one drifting over from the MA gets the impression that the AvA is still just an elitists group with too many rules.

Growing pains Bull, growing pains. Ugly but inevitable for sure. "Reasonable" is the Key. Taking away the ability of one side to even play is not reasonable. Playing when you can...that's reasonable, and no one is too concerned with one or two guys making a few bombing, or supply runs in the morning. It's when the all encompassing
win at all costs mentality reers it's ugly head, then the Staff needs to do something to keep the Arena breathing.
everyone needs to look at eachother as AvA Pilots. Not Axis, or Allied ones. When one is so absorbed in winning, everything that someone from the other side does, says, posts, whatever, is seen as coming from the "enemy". Their are no real enemies here, other than the ones we create ourselves. If their were no Allies, there would be no Axis, and vica versa, if you follow my thoughts here, and I know that you ( and your unit) personally do. Each side needs to police and educate their members to the importance of looking at this as a team effort.
One team, regardless of the markings on the wings.
