Whats with some of these squads?
« on: October 09, 2008, 11:40:28 PM »
I have been playing this game for about three months now.  I am not as good as i want to be but i DO practice a lot and i played AWIII back in the day for over three years.

Since i have been playing AH,  I have been invited and joined two different squad (Muffin Munchers & Black Aces) within a few weeks the same thing happened.  The squads are disbanded and i am NEVER informed!  one night i log in and POOF!  No squad.  What the heck is up with that???  Maybe its my selection but The Black Aces are a great bunch of guys an di had a blast flying with them and then all of a sudden...Nothing. \

Maybe i will just have to be more selective in chosing my squad.  One of the main reasons i joined AH was to be in a squad.  I was a member of the AIR PIRATES in AW and NEVER left the squad,  They never disbanded and we had over 40 members!  If someone can enlighten me i would appriciate it very much.  Thanks.

I suggest not joining a squad until you fly with them for several weeks or more. Get to know them before joining a squad.

Try flying Knight on 144 with Precision(+)

We have about 25 members and do FSO, ESO, arrange scrimmages to fight other squads, have meetings, ranks, promotions medals, a great web site and mercandise . If anyone asks you what you are doing say I invited you to try out.   :aok

Never heard of either squad so that should tell you something.

Fly solo for awhile and watch what squads you see often.  Hook with them asking what you can do to help on a mission.  Fly with them for awhile and ask what they do, when their squad nite is, etc. 

Then ask if they are recruiting.  Simpatico.

Air Pirates split and one group went to WWII online and the other came here and became Airmegeddon. They disbanded about a 2 years ago. APdrone is with the nightmares currently. They have been around about 11 years counting AW days. They aren't so active in the MA but are more involved in FSO's. If you are interested in the the nightmares stop by Nightmares.org. If you are more interested in doing it all please contact Bonz, Dadsgun, DCboss, Falcon23, or any Rolling Thunder Member. Currently Dadsguns is recovering from surgery and Falcon is rebuilding his computer. But they will probably be back this weekend. Still DCboss is on almost every night.

PS. I think I remember that name Ghostber. Feel free to pm me if you have any questions.

as has been stated, fly with squads and see wich are active, which are not. get info, ask for a squad invite, yadda yadda yadda. If your lookin for a squad, pm J0KER, if the squad and him say yes, well invite ya on vox, put ya on a probation period. J0KER is on evey night, for a while usually, and many f us would be more than willing to help ya get back in the groove. anyway, as i said, pm J0KER if your lookin for a squad (.p J0KER text).  :salute hope ya find a squad you like!

     Patience is key with finding a good squad.  Other things to look for:

1) Personalities

2) Scheduling <if they aren't up when you are..well>

3) Styles <some are regimented, others just go with the flow>

Yeah -  just make sure you check out the squad first, make sure you check the squad out first otherwise you might be in for a shock when you join and find out there's a squeaker at the helm. Or in fact any amount of squeakers typically ends in a bad way.

Just make sure you check out the squads for their style and gameplay, some squads are good at one area and lack the rest - for example my squad Wings of Terror don't do much base taking, we furball and fly around together. If you try to join our squad for base taking you won't be to happy.

fly with the prospective squad, to get a feel for what they are about, dont "accept" just to be accepted.

I know the feeling. When I first started playing I joined a very good squad and then one day it basically just died. After that I gave it some time and joined the LynchMob. I've been with them for almost a year. The Mob has been together for around four years. Great bunch of guys to fly with. Makes the game much more enjoyable. There's alot of great communication within the squad during a fight. We also believe in looking out for countrymen. There's nothing worse than getting shot down and having multiple friendlies around and no one says a thing.

You're more than welcome to wing up with us anytime. Get a feel for the Mob. I think as a squad we have a very good reputation as team players.

We're on a world tour right now. Currently we're flying Rook, last month we were Knights and next month we're going back home to Bishlandia. It's been a blast so far. Met alot of new people and shot down some that we already know. We also get involved in FSO.

Good luck finding a home :salute

Skuzzy posted this ...

We have been going through and cleaning up the game ID database, and a side result of that is a squad could be disbanded if the CO of the squad is no longer a subscriber to the game.

Simply reform your squad under an active CO.

This could have been the reason.

You didnt shop around for a good stable squad. My squad **THE LYNCHMOB** has been around close to 4 years We have approx 40 members and growing and we arent going anywhere. I have to much time invested in this squad to just dissband it because im bored.There are several squads that have been around along time each have their own recruitment rules so dont be disscouraged just do alittle shopping before ya join.<S> :salute
