Today during a private duelling session at A23/24 in the DA an interloper arrived and disrupted the duels (as often happens). I explained the field was in use and that it was a private fight but he wouldn't leave. Several other players at the lake joined in the conversation, asking
where it said the non-furbal lake airfields were intended for private duels. Several players even suggested if we wanted to duel we should set up a private arena.
Eventually my duelling partner telephoned HTC, and Skuzzy even came into the DA to explain the intentions of the various areas in the DA. I have to say a big hats off to Skuzzy who has the patience of a saint. He had to answer several questions such as 'did he work for HTC', etc. and even had to deal with players arguing with him about the rules and purpose of the arena, telling him since they were paying customers they could do what they wanted. One guy even asked Skuzzy for lessons, since he was there to 'learn dogfighting'.
Although the discussion was one of the funniest and entertaining incidents I have had in Aces High so far, could we please please please please please please please please please please please have the duelling arena message reinstated explaining the intention of the side fields being for private duelling and explaining the consequences of ignoring those rules. At least then we could direct players to the message and not sound arrogant etc.
P.S. Skuzzy, our offer was genuine, you are more than welcome anytime to join one of our friendly duelling sessions
