Country/Squadron Loyalty

[ImADot]

I have integrity. I don't need artificial rules to dictate how I act.

[MAINER]

have not switched from Bish in MA in 3 years but still -1

[RTHolmes]

we only have 2 rules in 71sqn:

 1. Dont be a dickhead.
 2. If you want to switch to fly with friends, make sure you are not fighting us.

simples!




-1

You do realize that tangling with squaddies can be good fun

[RTHolmes]

true, but this way we avoid spying allegations and other difficult situations.

[Krusty]

It's simpler than that... We don't want to foster any hard feelings or ill will towards our own brothers and friends. We don't want to see each others' name in the kill buffer. Part of the squaddie bond.

As a byproduct that other stuff happens. 

[RTHolmes]

^ other difficult situations

[Ack-Ack]

As you all know there are many players in the game that swap countries 'often' for varies reasons.  

I think there should be a squadron rule that could help enforce that all members of a squad are on the same country--- example:

Squadron CO is Pilot1
  - To be able to join that squad you must be the same country as Pilot1
  - You can not change from Pilot1's country as long as you are a member of Pilot1's squad

Then join a squadron that has those rules for its members.  Easy solution.

My squadron is not the issue.  It's more about the issues discussed by SmokinLoon.

[Rino]

     Of course this could easily be worked around.  Just have an informal squad rather than an "official" one.
If you care about score and rank <squad wise> this wouldn't work, but otherwise game on.

     Heck, I don't recognize half the names on the 80th's tactical frequrncy, but it doesn't seem to bother any one much

My squad fly rooks, we fly together, and very seldom ever switch sides.  If we have a desire to kick the snot out of each other,  we take it to the DA in the canyons.  Simply because if some one saw 2A on one side, and a 2A on another side, there would be spy allegations out the bung hole and I have no desire to put up with that.

[oTRALFZo]

Pledge allegence to your squad and not your chesspiece.

Although our squad calls rooks our home, we do it only to keep consitency so that squaddies know where to meet up when they log in.

Personaly, I think spy allegations are just trash in this game. Most that switch only do so if there is a popular gv spawn or fight somewhere on the map and they just want to take part of it and dont ruin others fun by spying.

Play the game a while and you will understand

pervert is the member of The Few that plays at odd times due to his shift work and is therefore almost always on another country to the rest of us - and I can tell you, it's no fun tangling with him!

when I first started playing the game I heard quite a few grumpy people saying  "Squaddies shouldn't be killing fellow squaddies! " after being shot down by perv

Sorry Pand, I definitely wouldn't go along with something like this. While I consider myself a "Rook", in the past , prior
to the implementation of the much hated "12 hour rule" I would occasionally hop over to the Knights or Bishops so
I could fly with guys I'd flown against in the past. What would be the point in restricting a guy's movement
to another side?
  I've told my guys I have absolutely no problem whatsoever with them hoppin' sides just as long as they're
not gonna be tryin' to kill fellow squaddies. I just tell 'em to furball in another area if they've hopped.
  There's obviously more to this "proposal" than meets the eye. Spill your guts. We wanna hear "the rest of
the story" as Paul Harvey used to say.

Best regards, Odd

The Pigs have decided as a group that we do not fly against each other in the LW main.  All other arenas and events are excluded from this decision.  With that said, this is something that a group should decide and implement, not some game programming.  It does not work for everyone, so I think this is a bad idea to put into place.  Besides the decision of loyalty to your squad cannot be programmed, it is given and earned Sir.
