Excellent night tonight!

[USRanger]

At midnight the AvA arena had 31 people.  At 1:30am there were still 20!  What a fun night with great fights galore!

Enjoyed the flying and the map. Great job Ranger.

It was nice to see the number up and hoping that we will see it growing.  Love the concept of no icon on the enemy.  Makes it vary challenging to know what you are you against and range.

We had a good time for a couple hours.

I don't much like the sky conditions. High noon looks like a Gulf Coast sunrise in there. Annoying after a hour. Bright clear sunshine is preferable to perpetual dim. Its 9 am here on the southeast Texas coast and many times brighter than the arena was. Not realistic in my flying experience.

The AvA shouldn't use stagnant settings that make no icons more difficult. Either have the time moving or set high noon and clear visibility. Folks are already predisposed to immediately dislike no icons because it is very DIFFERENT. Don't fall for the temptations to play with arena settings just because you can.

And of course there are the one or two AvA flyers that insist on trying to needle folks into getting angry enough to fly in the manner they would prefer. I use the squelch feature regularly but others let it get to them. Its obvious that these folks are AvA old timers even though they are using new game ID's.

There is still a mentality of the AvA being a Bruce Lee movie where the bad guys take turns fighting the HERO one at a time. This does not encourage squadrons to operate there as a time as that is contrary to the entire squadron concept.

If the AvA wants squadrons to show up they need to make it clear that the tactics and techniques used in real life are to be expected and encouraged.

Just ask a staffer that's on to change it back to blue sky.  It was just an experiment & when it was time to change it back, no staffers were on.  I wasn't on yesterday to ask.

1. I don't know who the AvA staffers are.

2. I would think instead of taking the time to post here you would just go change it if it was supposed to be changed.

Look for Oldman, Soda, Jaeger1 or Jimson (I think), and there's probably a few more staff members.

Shucks! Wish I could've been there. Too bad I had to work 6am in the morning and had to go to bed early. I'll see about swinging in there later this evening.

Joined September, 2010 and this is your 4th post in. Welcome to the AH BBS boards. Here you will find a variety of AH cartoon pilots from all backgrounds. Some you will like, and others you won't. My first advice: don't bring any drama to the boards, trying to make yourself look big, because people will redicule and laugh at you. A bad thing if you're looking to make some friends.

I had some good fun, thanks guys!
I would have liked to switch sides now and again, but the hurry is an ok bird.
The LD had a few guys in. We were trying to fly as a squad, but we kept dying and re upping and got scattered.....
Although without icons I'm just about useless, I do enjoy the SA learning curve.
A big <S> to the map guys. Really nice clouds and ground fog. I liked the colors.
I agree with faster days (time of day) and don't forget night time, even if it's 5 minutes long.
One flight "night" was turned on, I remember looking for high cons using the moon light, really cool.
I do enjoy ava more than the ma, so I will make a point to fly it more often.
Now if we could have this setup for the SEC.....oooooooh! 
Thanks again for the good fights all!

Some people who are unfamiliar with the AvA may not know that there is no time limit on side switching.  You can go back and forth at will.

What, just because you demand it?  I don't think so stud.  You want it changed?  Then you get it done.  I don't have control of the settings & I happen to like the way it looks, as does everyone else it seems.  Ever notice you complain in every post you make?  If you don't like it, there are plenty more arenas.

Fork, would you please give Ranger his pill?

Thank you.
