His last sorties were flown under the squad name - Sickly Sucktards

In some apparent attempt to grief me 🤣

The irony is profound.
They're casting their bait over there, see?

Clearly he wasn't the only issue considering you guys still don't know how to keep a thread on track. Didn't Hitech start a thread where you guys can go high-five one another after allowing yourselves to get mercilessly trolled?

By my count see about 8-9 people showing some interest, that isn't nothing if you ask me.

I think a bunch of us would be up for it if it’s all in good fun. I’m not nearly as good as I once was but would be willing to throw my name in the hat if it seems legit. However, I think a pin should be put in it for a while to let things settle down. Perhaps revisit a few months down the line?

I was asked many times over the years to participate in KOTH but heard many stories about how the format could be gamed so I never jumped in.

I don't see what needs to settle down that would interfere with a dogfight ladder. Let's do this!

We missed out on having you at KOTH, Mak. I wish you had talked to people who enjoyed it. You would have rocked at it. It was great fun. Frustrating sometimes, but always fun.

The main reason for giving it a bit of time is because of some of the allegations that have been flying around about account switching and such. I think a cool down period to let some of that settle (given YKW started this thread) and perhaps some way to attempt to keep things on the up-and-up so it doesn’t get tainted with controversy.

I don’t know how well I would’ve done in KOTH, I’ve always considered myself a slightly above average dog fighter and a specialist (Jugs) and while, I understand the strengths and weaknesses of most of the aircraft in game, I’d probably need to get a lot more practice to be any sort of contender. Still, I’m willing to get wrecked in the name of good fun and this seems infinitely more fun since the OP is “gone”.

Maybe in the winter months will have more people playing. That being said we got like 10 or 11 people interested atm.
