Some of the best fights ive had, were against  people i flew with the day before, and then the day after......flew with again....no one butt hurt, no hard feelings....dear lord its just a game    :aok

Started out Rook years ago and never thought of side switching.....joined the 80th and it was like someone switched on a light....there are 2/3rds more people here that i can laugh with and fly with (and can watch me crash in flames  :D)....I regret to this day staying country loyal so long.  Low numbers and the best fight, thats what its all about (for me)  I actually get bummed when i see certain fellow non country loyal person on my side in green.....then i know that I wont get to tangle with him.....But in the same breath, its usually me and him defending alone against the hordes...so it all works out in the end  :aok

I would disallow anyone with less than 2 stars to control a CV group.

Anyone with less than 1 star would not be allowed to see their team's noe positions.

I am plagued sometimes by people who have no stars, but are hungry for information about my altitude, direction, load, target. Some of these guys tell me not to bomb a factory because they will do it, or will offer to gun but on inspection these guys are missing the enemy 100%. Interestingly, these no-star players are often re-routing CVs as well.

 :rofl :rofl :rofl........didn't take long....did it...... :old:

Why is that?  How does gaming the system to get the stars make me not a spy?

The more stars, the more integrity you have.  ;)

 To every man upon this earth, death cometh soon or late.
 And how can man die better, than facing fearful odds.
 For the ashes of his fathers and the temples of his Gods."

Heh.  Well, I guess that might explain why I turned off the stars thing.
