the goal here is to have fun... in whatever you're doing.. fiter cap.. killling cvs...defending bases... vulching bases... gv blitzkreig... the idea i have is to have someone share that fun with you in a group~ this organising isn't abt winning bases.. its about having  more than 4-5 people to fly with you...whatever the outcome comes out of the mission.. maybe i am speaking from a rook's point of view.. therefore most of the other countries dun get me...

I appreciate your enthusiasm - but again you're assuming there's always a mission and that people enjoy flying with large groups. My only mission generally is to find a fight somewhere, usually a smaller one. When things get more organized then either a giant blob of red or a giant blob of green, and neither are much fun.

well if you wanna solo it.. so be it or even fly with just your squaddie...gameplay doesn't change much at all...the organisation..for most when the numbers are there... they want to win bases or maps... with this 1 arena.. dun forget its TT everyday... so wouldn't organising help till maybe the other arena's come back on..well smaller battles are won cos no one is defending.. but if i have aready pool of people.. i can easily make a impromtu mission to defend...and you wun like it... you'll call it hording... i call it organising

in what way is this a bad habit? hording? you want single furballs only.. go DA....it seems its only fair to you guys if maybe 4-5 guys pesistantly go thru 1 or more hour's worth of trouble  just to take a base.. any faster than that.. its a horde.. i dun like it... too many people...

i think this method will actually help the new guys to pick up their skills in missions and maybe be good mission leaders one day..

WHy would anyone want Corky to lead. We would just have a bunch of 38s running willy nilly spreading broken planes and parts all over the countryside.  UNLESS..............he could organize a 3 sector 38 gv attack......imagine it, 30+ 38s rolling toward an enemy town dodging trees, shrubs, wildebeasts, sloths, fruit bats, crossing shallow rivers to reach to goal.  It would be hours of heart pounding adventure.

Initiative, bro. If you want to take part in large strategic campaigns start your own!  :aok

sometimes it ain't abt initiative.. some people just wanna follow a certain set of people... and when this set of people are not ard what happens?

well this pool of people need to get organised somehow... and the mission maker wizard is seriously not fully utilised at all! we could do more... mr fugitive... with today's current 1 arena you trying to tell people to not horde? do it the hard way...4-5 players  each base... open up a line of fronts....lose some take some... drag a map maybe for full 2 weekS? *how long does a map go for if no one wins?* also how is this playing my way? not asking anyone to change how they play... just asking them if they want to fight.. fight it with someone thats always available... maybe you like fighting and dogfighting alone constantly.. so be it...

i dun see how getting organised via a proper system is regarded as bending knees.... do you read before you post or post just to get the numbers on the board?
