Rolling planeset
« on: October 01, 2012, 12:18:20 PM »
From the "book of dweeb".

And the plea went out across the rolling landscape that the dweebs doth
live in. Oh Lord sayeth the dweebs, Although thou art good to us in our
dweebishness, we need variety so the foul runstangs and butcherbirds
will be not the only avengers in the air. And the lord IEN saw that
this was indeed a worthy request from the dweebs below. Forty days (and
two weeks) did the gods toil and then the heavens parted (yet again).
Know this oh you dweebs below, I have come forth to give thee what thy
asketh for. It shall be called a "Rolling Planeset" that thy can no
longer use the mighty runstang the entire war. In order to aspire to
the lofty height thou wantest, you must first master the earlier
models. Then did the lord IEN givest the dweebs the sacred list into
which was inscribed the sacred periods of Testing called a "Tour". And
lo, the list prescribed whatest the dweebs could use and when. And the
list was long and detailed. No longer could the mighty prevail the
entire war. Many steeds must a dweeb use and many various airplane
parts would be strewn across the land before the dweebs ever set eyes
on Dora the Beguiler. First thy had to survive in the dangerous, yet
fragile Zeke. And perhaps yet court the dangers of the Iron Dog for
mighty is his bite, yet not the most agile is he. For a time, the dweeb
must first master the Gnat, yes the fast and mighty turner. But only
those who do not stress thy wings and test thy structual limits will
survive this test. And then thou movest to the newcomer from the East,
the Yak whose engine dost revolve in the wrong direction and many will
a dweeb fall that forgets the torqueth goes the other way too! And
perhaps the dweeb will test the Lawndart, yea the proud Kittyhawk that
falleth at a mighty pace. And perhaps if they wantest, they may partake
of the trial of "no six view", the Peril of the Dweeb-cat whose
all-around performance is among the mighty, yet treacherous is it.

Ya gotta get real specific in what you are looking for. We have run rolling planesets and capturing bases unlock certain planes etc. So are we talking timelines, different maps, different theaters. What do you envision?

Heh.  I believe that is an excerpt from the fabled "Book of Dweebs," dating back to the AirWarrior era, probably late 1980s, possibly early 1990s.  Certainly it was a well-known tome before I signed on in 1995.

thats just lovely, but that still begs the question, what is he looking for???

we are planning a 1 week setup with a different map each night and a rolling plane set, will that fulfill your request, icepac?

and will you be in there every night to help support it? almost every night?
