Time to start cogitating about another date to have this. Every Saturday in February has a scenario starting at 7 pm ET which restricts the planned 3 pm start time.
Sundays are mostly open but of course I'd have to look ahead and see if anything important is happening on them this month.

Even with my defective and once attacked ticker covid wasn't bad but again I was L U C K Y.  Once I find my vaccination card I'm getting boosted. Blah, blah, blah.   :bolt:

Glad you're doing better - keep staying that way.

Won't be able to make it the weekend of the Daytona 500, should be good other than that. Remember there is the super bowl next Sunday so might be tough to do it then. I'm thinking the 26th might be a good day?

Dave, you know what I am dealing with here where I currently am living....I  will give you a call tomorrow to give you the details and latest update...

I will try and make this what I am thinking will be the final and last KOTH  - TOC (and  Final KOTH event Aces High will ever have) 😢  is a damn crying 😢 😭 shame!

Unfortunately, it seems like Noone outside of fuzeman has any balls at all to stand up and willingly commit to volunteer to keep this awesome event going!

Is not like I didn't try my best to be a KOTH CM, even with Hitech's and Skuzzy's backing  and support..some just did not want me  becoming a KOTH CM....but that's water under the bridge...

Fact of the matter is if 20 people showed up for KOTH’s REGULARLY I would still be hosting KOTH.
When less than 10 people show up how can it be considered awesome?
That’s a few guys getting together to dogfight which doesnt need a host.

I was referring to the KOTH event, itself,  as being an awesome long time running event

I, same as you,  do not consider a KOTH event with less than 10 participants (heck, with less than 14 participants) as being an awesome event!

I realize that times have changed, but I am of the opinion that it was much better back when there was an Euro - KOTH event held monthly on a Friday afternoon to accommodate the players in other time zones, to go along with the U.S. - KOTH event held monthly on a Saturday night

and a lot of times, a lot of the participants showed up to participate in both of the Euro & U.S. KOTH events held at their scheduled times...

I would argue the fact that it takes a certain number for KOTH to be fun..

I have had a better time with 5 or 6 than with 10 or 12 depending who makes up the numbers

The more participants the more likely there was one or two players who didn't know the rules, didn't understand the rules or just didn't want to follow them..

The administration of the event around these players decreased the enjoyment of the rest of us as they were dealt with

After all most of these usually boil down to a handful that win them regardless how many show up

I can understand fuzeman being burnt out but it is a death nail for AH if it's allowed to die out imo

Maybe we can set something up not as rigid and more off the cuff

How hard is it to get the admin privileges needed to limit the plane available? Can it be automated?

I would also be for more of an incentive for participating/winning than perks..

I say a free month might get more players to try their hand at it

I got to agree with Eagler.

For me showing up at KOTH is hard as it is, let alone committing to host it monthly at US friendly times. Realising this makes it even more valuable what Fuzeman did for us these years hosting the event.

Last KOTH I noticed Fuze doesn't even fly with us normally but he had a lot of fun joining us.

I think hosting should be easier, maybe HT can setup the arena like the match play arena where we all spawn in at the same time with the selected plane. An automated arena message could keep the score or something. This way Fuzeman can at the very least participate.

Ps: we can all help the new player out. I think it is fun when new faces participate

I got to agree with Eagler.

Upon rereading Eaglers post, i just somewhat agree with Eagler.

I agree with that Koth can be loads of fun with a smal turnout. But i disagree that new players distract from the fun. from there on, i agree with him again. :aok

Are we still looking at the 26th?
