New Squadron to assist new players
« on: June 30, 2017, 08:09:36 AM »
Good morning all!

I am hoping this message will reach AH Training Corps and any new players currently reading this now.

I have started up a squadron in MA that is geared specifically toward helping new players learn the game.  We all know how steep a learning curve this can be.

I want to get new players coming in that are looking beyond the 2 week free period. 

Squad name is +++Maggot Suicide Squad+++

All I ask is that these guys & gals want to learn all aspects of the game and we will be focused on base taking.  They must agree to not participate in drama on the bbs and on channel 200 in game.

If any of you trainers are aware of anyone that would be a good fit, please send them my way and I will do what I can to help improve their game.

Since I don't really want to become a Trainer, I feel I can help out in this capacity. 


We currently fly Knights (since their numbers are usually lower)

Well, I can certainly use more training but nit side,
sorry but I am one of those who is a Rook and will remain a
Rook despite the terrible losses.... Oh and btw,
Rooks (at least the times I am on) are generally
the side with lower numbers  :devil

Slip,I would think a better name might get help,,new guys club or some such thing.Then you would need to change chess pieces on a regular basis bu t I do like the idea.                                             When you get a few players that want some formal training,just send them my way or take a few into the TA and introduce them to me.

Rooks have enjoyed a few nights now with more pilots, which is good. The best thing players can do at thr moment is have friends on all sides and switch from time to time as needed, will help out the ENY and teach players that while it is a different flag it is the same community.

SlipKnot I commend your effort. Take morfiends advice to heart about being side flexible, gives you more candidates and oportunity to help each side out with where they fall short :old:

I'm sorry but since the strokes 10 yrs ago I can't seem to get on track again  :bhead
Therefore, getting better at AH is not an option and so sticking with Rooks is the easiest
option... plus I've been Rook for at least 15yrs... its habit  :D

But, but, you said:

Well, I can certainly use more training…
:P
Oh well, I hope it works out for you! Glad to see you around and functioning. I'm sure you'll agree that the best advice is never adopt a victim or limiting mentality, that's what those who succeed inspite of life's hardships tell the rest of us :old:

You can still have fun and help by communicating with Slip cross channel, I learn a lot fighting against my friends and I feel most are more open to taking advice or considering another perspective when they have a good relationship.

All new players should be made to recite "Death to Bishlam!" before being allowed to subscribe....  :devil  :x :bolt:
