Please rename "Axis vs Allies" arena to "SEA 3"

[icepac]

Because that's what it is.

Nope.  Try again...  The AVA is a 24/7 matchup Axis Powers vs. Allied Powers with a imagined or real setting that does not have times to show up, dates of participation, need for registration, etc.  Just show up and fight in a Axis vs. Allies match-up anytime! Everyone is welcomed.

Thanks for the press Icepac.

A long time back it used to be but now it gets changed around so much trying to be a SEA III.

[jimson]

Trying to thread the needle between being a scenario arena and a 24/7 open arena.

The worse attendance we ever get is when we just load a map and plane set and forget it.

[icepac]

I've never seen anyone on.

[jimson]

I've never seen anyone on.

And you think that will change if we do.....what exactly?

No, he pretty much got it right.

the only reason i don't fly AvA as much is it's just not my style really. great guys and a great player base. <S> guys keep trying to get that baby a full blown arena please. it's worth it.

1.   WWII condensed into a tour long war with a starting date of september 1939.



2.   Introduce a Rolling planeset in which planes become available when the date of the arena matches the date of the first known missions of said plane.


You run historic scenarios according to arena date by simply changing to the scenario terrain and picking the planeset for the duration of the event.

Once map is won after the scenario terrain, the terrain random generator goes back to work and the rolling planeset picks up where it left off.

This would require very little administration other than running the historic events within the arena and setting it back on "auto".............which is the job of whoever is running the event.

"Events" don't have to occur unless someone wants to run one and, since history of WWII is already known, it is easy to divine when a event scenario will occur within the timeline.

All you have to do post a list of events in the forum.........the dates are known.

If that came with a paycheck you'd be on to something.

How is a map won? Everything we do has to be manual. The "win the war" defaults back to an everything enabled 3 sided setup. We can't create a table and pin it to a map where it will load automatically. We also can't load a series of terrains that will rotate in any order.

There is nothing that we can use that is "auto"

What you are suggesting may have some merit (believe me we have kicked that and dozens of other ideas around) but what needs to be understood is everything has to be done manually. Any victory conditions must be arbitrarily determined and manually changed by admins.

If we had more tools we could do a lot more.

It works on two other sims.

It works on two other sims.

So you'd like the entire game to be recoded so one arena works exactly like you think it should work?  So then what happens, is that going to fill that arena up?

Here.....let me simplify so that you can understand.

It is easy to implement what I suggested because the coding already exists.

The "scenarios" were only mentioned to quell the people who would whine if they didn't exist.

[ROC]

Not sure you understand how the game works internally.

"I" Don't?  Really?  K
