How about a jousting arena? This arena will separate the skilled from the unskilled. To survive in here you will have to not only be good, you will have to be great. The arena will be strictly for jousting. I propose that each pilot air start at 5k and fly directly at the other pilot. I propose that 30k tall walls are constructed in the arena and they are placed 300 yards apart thereby forcing a genuine joust. When the two pilots meet they will fire at each other. Only one pass will be made and the player with the least amount of damage after the joust will be the winner. If both pilots take on critical damage then the first pilot to hit the ground loses. For tie breakers, films can be reviewed and bonus points can be awarded for the fewest turns taken during flight, the fastest merge speed, and holding down the trigger the longest. Points will be deducted if a white collision message is received with no orange collision message. I know the rules are kind of complicated but we will get the details sorted out eventually, after the community as a whole gets the hang of it. I proposed that I be the initial CM for the arena and I will add others to the team as is warranted and based on their merit as jousters. As the CM, I will be available to review the films for any disagreements. I will take my job very seriously.
Just food for thought, but in the future, I can run a bracket like Bald Eagle’s ACM bracket for individual jousting competitions. We can also have an SJL (Squad Jousting League) where the squad that wins will be the one with the most planes flying after the joust. It will be a requirement that if you participate in the SJL that you place your squad’s record in your signature. Just some thoughts for the future as this awesome arena concept matures...
Please discuss….
