Monday Night Madness 8-10PM Eastern U.S. - EARLY WAR Arena

[Oddball-CAF]

Okay gents,
  Molsman had indicated last week that he'd like to do an "early war" version of our
"MidWar Madness" event.
  So, in the spirit of accomodating other fun-loving pilots, we'll move "M3" to
the Early War Arena for this week.
  Basic times: 8-10PM Eastern U.S.
  Basic rules: Max alt 10K
                    No vulching
                    No manning of field guns or wirbels, etc..

We'll be split between "Rooks" and "Knights". Pilots on both sides
will use channel 151 vox and text. The "All" channel can be used by
anyone.

Regards, Odd

Sounds good.  It will be a fun change and we'll see how it goes.

You might want to bring some paramedics along though as the one or two regulars might lose it when they see all of us in there

1) Wirbels are disabled in Early War.
2) I doubt the no manned gun, max altitude or vulching restrictions are enforceable. Griefers gonna grief.
A big salute to Odd in trying to mix up the game.

Sorry I didn't make last Monday ......see you gents in EW tomorrow   

[Molsman]

Great I am working tomorrow night as a paramedic and going to miss my own suggestion.  Sorry Gents

Hi Ruf,
  It actually does work. Nobody's manned any ack or taken wirbels or vulched in the past 4 weeks of
the Mid-War arena when we've done "Monday Night MidWar Madness".
  Hell, last week the Knights purposely pulled the fight back 4-5 miles away from our
Rook field to give us some breathing room.
  It's refreshingly civilized and a lot of fun.

Best, Odd

Another fine time.  Fun to see guys landing 3-4 kills in I16s.

Thanks to all who joined in.

Had a great time!!!! Plenty of fights without the long flights, great way to work on my noob skills.

More fun than a bag o monkeys.

My regrets for being the 'glass is half empty' guy, but there was some uncivilized behavior in the EW arena yesterday.

1. It only took one guy on bish to spike the ENY for the dozen guys on each of the other sides.
2. One gv guy shelled the opposing field.

Someone on vox suggested the AvA as a two sided configurable arena. I lost interest in the AvA when it became a -109er pick fest; but, it could be made to work.

In any event, it was a lot of fun in the MNM - EW Edition. 

People should give it a try. It does affect precious LW scores, so it is a much less inhibited environment.

When I came in there was 29 players furballing! It was great to fly the early war planes in a competitive environment. I vote for an early war Monday night once per month or even every other week.

The I-16, c202, and the early Zeke kite are a blast to fly. My most fun sortie was in the SBD!

There's was only one person intentionally and frequently going for head on shots, but he was easy to counter or avoid once identified.

The single guy on the third team killed the eny and forced me into the 202... Thanks! I may not have flown it otherwise, what a sweet flying plane. Good times, dyn-o-mite.

Best-flying plane in the game.  Needs guns.  Sorry I missed this, did it turn out that lots of people were flying the Spit5?

a few, but not as many as you'd think, it was a great time!!

I took a goon up twice. Could not get a chute snag on an enemy though. LOL.

Nah, it was pretty much the same as the MW nights with half the people flying the brewster hehe.
