I've been trying for a long time to have the privilege of flying in a scenario with Snailman.  :aok

Snailman, please let me know at any time if there are things i can do to help make your participation enjoyable.

It is my sincere desire for you and all the players to have a great time.

 :eek:  :x

I honestly don't understand why scenarios aren't your flavor, Snail.  The amount of patience I've seen you display in the MA, I would've thought you'd be all over them.

Definitely glad to have you aboard though. :salute

Take the salt shaker out of the cockpit. Snails don't like salt.

That's a different kind of patience.
Actually, in some way it's no patience at all. When you see me, seemingly patiently, prowling the MA skies at high altitude looking for bombers.... I'm actually AFK.
The vast majority of my AH flight time the game is minimized. I browse the net, write message, watch films, draw, make music... simply anything. Even when, to stay with the example, the strat runner is in icon range 5k ahead - If I estimate it takes me longer than a minute to get in range, I minimize the game again to do anything, coming back like every 10 seconds to check the situation. It's difficult for me to focus on anything that's not immediately captivating or rewarding.

In Scenarios, you are in uniform. You a part of a team, you must keep an eye on the coms, you must follow other people's orders (the horror!*). You must fly in formation. You can't simply just do your own thing.
For someone like me, that's hard work.  :joystick:



Snailman, please let me know at any time if there are things i can do to help make your participation enjoyable.

I'm already stocking up my supplies of Earl Grey and McVitie's digestive bisquits.  :old:


I have also, in preparation for this event, built myself a headset and started to talk in the MA. (Seriously, not being used to speak English I really have to practice)

Ah.  That explains a lot.  I too am generally on my phone on climbout and cruising as well.

It's generally not too bad.  We'll try to keep our comms simple.  "Snail!  Kill!" ;)

I heard Snails voice for the first time on coms the other day over A12.  I figured he was using some sort of voicebox with pre-programed phrases.

If it helps at all, I can barely remember any of my highschool german, I'll be happy to translate!   :devil

Is it even possible for Snail to actually focus long enough for a scenario??? :uhoh


Whoever has Snails' leash will need to know that they cannot fly faster than cruise settings and will need to make very gentle turns so wingman autopilot can keep up.  Just hope he tabbed back in when it hits the fan, or at the very least use him as bait.  :P

Now, what color leash will be used???  THAT is the real question here!  :neener:
