A8Balls/Aces & 8's
« on: March 23, 2009, 09:57:19 AM »
You guys have a nice web site by the way.  :aok

I was reading your history on your main page and copied this quote:

"Within 2 months, the Aces & 8s had recorded a total of 3 consecutive map resets for the Rooks. A feat that has yet to be equaled by any other squad. Our final history has yet to be written."

Just curious, but I have to ask a question about this statement above.

How has it been determined that its a "feat that has yet to be equaled by any other squad"?
 
I know there has been several resets conducted back to back by not only Bish squads, but Knits also and most certainly more than 3 consecutive in a two month period by the same squad.

I am just curious to how you interpreted this statement.

Good point.

You really cant, but I assume that one would consider being responsible for the momentum, organizing, taking the final base that causes the reset, etc that would give you the sense of accomplishing the reset.   

I do agree that everyone should share that accomplishment.

The operative word here is "claim".

Maybe this statement was made on the website back in the days before the whole horde mentallity took hold. I dont update our website everday or every week and im sure their is many statements on our website i need to redo and update. Our squad has teamed up with the A8's in the past and together we have layed claim to many bases one after the other without 30+ pilots. The A8's are great sticks and their squad as well as my squad have started many rallies in order to take bases. I for one would believe they were responsible for the last few base takes in order to reset a map. <S> A8's Im sure the A8's as well as my squad take pride in accomplishing the mission we set out to do without 30 ankle humpers swarming over a town or base crashing into buildings or augering left and right.
