The Circus members have flown in almost every SEC I have and Ive only flown with them once outta 6-7 scenarios. Fly what you want but please just get in and fly. Come to think of it that SEC was the only one where we were even on the same side. Me and BushLT trade shots on almost every one. :aok

Why are all Scenarios designed by Fencer?

Oh man, what a straight line...

Ready?



Just lucky I guess.   :rofl

Isn't the primary purpose of a Scenario to fly in a historical squad or aircraft for the individual?  MA squaddies are icing on the cake when they fly in the same Scenario squad. 

For the most part yep.  I know in the last scenario I had guys from all over in my Spit V squad.  Was fun that way too.  I've flown scenarios with mostly squaddies too.  Kinda depends on who is interested or what the plane set is.  I tend to look to fly 38s with squaddies.  Not many of them as big of a Spit fan as myself though so in that case it might be other folks.

It was definitely fun having Wurz and Batfink in the head phones while flying Spits out of Hawkinge  :aok

Absolutely.  I had a similar experience flying with airbull, yarbles, Amsoil, and coombzy in Hurricanes in the last Rangoon.  The radio traffic definitely added to the immersion.  :aok

Man, with all the Pony driver's I see on a regular basis in the MA's, it sure is a slow go on getting those pony slots filled.  :joystick:

Hi Guys.  This one has been under the radar for me.  Just accidentally found out about it.  Did the usual broad mail-out invite (ok spam) go out?

I get really really tired of selective realism disguised as a desire to make bombers easier to kill.

I have done it in the past.  Basically, took the list of e-mail addresses of registratants from the previous scenario and e-mailed them all about the upcoming scenario.

I ran into a technical snag of doing that, though, and with the new twins, it was one of the things that slipped off my plate.

It is a good idea to do it, I think, and I have never gotten a complaint back from anyone yelling at me about spam.  Most folks either seemed to appreciate the notice or didn't mind getting one e-mail about it even if they didn't plan on playing in it.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm


Brooke it might be worth making an announcement or two at FSO this week given the vague similarity (fairly slim) between this and the current FSO.

Heya Dantoo :)  I'll be in the FSO this week promoting the event.  Most of the CMs are promoting in their respective events now as well.  Hope to see you up :)

What I should do is get an e-mail out.

The problem is that I used to be able to do a mailing from my regular account, but recently, my ISP has banned large mailings unless I use mail list software (which I haven't had time to figure out how to set up on my site).  I'll split things up and do a bunch of smaller mailings, though.

I understand that Hitech and Skuzzy probably don't want to hear this, but if there is some way to add space in the lobby or another portion of the main areas for adverting AH Events.  That would certainly go a long way with getting folks acquainted with special events and increase participation.
