Claim Jumpers "AvA Monday"

[jimson]

The Claim Jumpers would like to announce that we will be flying as Allies in the AvA arena on Mondays, starting this Monday Dec 21.


We will begin at 4pm est in the hopes of drawing numbers so that early players and our friends from overseas may also get a chance to try the arena.

A larger contingent will likely arrive later in the evening, the squads official start time for that is 8pm est.

We are hoping to draw in enough numbers to make AvA rock on Mondays.

  Great effort guys.

hopefully some axis players in there, would prefer to not be alone defending 

[jimson]

If we get big participation from the squad, we will split if needed to balance numbers.

Not sure what kind of squad you are in the MAs, but just a word of advice/caution in case you are not already aware . . .

There is no "win the war" reset in the AvA.  If you take all of the bases of the opposing team, instead of a reset you end up with a porked map.  One of the admins would have to come in and redo all the settings, and it could be quite a while before one of them could do so.

So, in the case where your squad is the only one there, resist the temptation to begin rolling up bases unopposed.  Or, if you do take a few, then switch sides and take a few the other way every 5 bases or so.  (Although, I think shooting down squaddies would probably be more fun for you.)

Good luck with your Jumper Mondays.

Thanks for the heads up, I've already informed the squad that this is about the good fight and not about conquering the map.

If we do any base attacks at all, it will be for practice because we're bored and we will stop short of capture, most likely we will split up and duel, but we hope to draw enough participation that none of this will be necessary.

Thanks, again

 its just another MA with exception of set planes.
 as long as you have MA mentality flying around the results will be the same,just on a smaller scale.
   just for chits~n~giggles i went to AVA tonight,thinking to myself.... maybe it will be different.
      WRONG    had a good fight with a hurri and some shmuck in a spit had to come in and cherry pick
        proof  positive that AVA is no different then any other arena

Sorry you felt the need to leave after one fight.

I was asked if I needed help.  I replied I was pilot wounded.  When the Spit engaged I tried to disengage (between blackouts and with my normal disorientation) but you kept pressing your attack making it difficult to do so.

I even said on 200 I had asked for help.  Perhaps you didn't have it tuned yet as it seemed to take several seconds before you chimed in with a very similar complaint as the one you just posted here.

Not that I understand the complaint . . . the difference between the AvA and the MAs is historic match ups (this week's set-up being a rare exception with the zeke factory in the channel).  Many try to keep to 1v1 or 2v1 match ups to keep the fights fun and somewhat fair, but it has never been guaranteed.

Bottom line, if you want to form your opinion on one whole fight, you are entitled to do so.  But IMO that is just "proof positive" you really didn't care to give it a chance in the first place, but rather were looking for a reason to complain.  Suit yourself.

It was a good fight.  Too bad you didn't care to repeat it.  Hope you eventually change your mind and come back sometime.

That wasn't my experience, I thought the sportsmanship was about the best I've ever seen tonight.

I can't tell you how many times I saw a high con stay high and and NOT drop in a good fight I was having down low.

I didn't get ganged when I was expecting to and would have been cool with it if I had.

Friendly in game pm's, more <S>'s than ever, even when I didn't deserve them. LOL

Besides it's about the historical match-ups. Zekes notwithstanding.

Thanks for a great time guys.

 sometimes it only takes one fight,the understanding I had was that there was an effort being made to draw a crowd of players into AVA that wanted something different from the norm.perhaps I was mistaken
