LOL.  I don't mind squads rotating.  I only mind when the periodicity is such that the majority of squads are on the same side: that makes things miserable for the unsquadded side(s).

I don't know if the "nomadic" squads check the numbers first, but it doesn't seem like it.  For those that do: you'll hone your skills better if you join the side that's losing

Hey Paint guess what, we don't care what you think.  Go back to Quake or wherever you came from.

Isnt "MAW" an indicator of a squad?  That kind of post does not speak well of a squad.

Funny (or maybe sad)how some guys think they should have a say, or even an opinion about what another squad does in terms of what country they fly with.

A squad may choose to rotate countrys from time to time for a variety of reasons such as:
1) Get to know more players and learn from them
2) A minor way to help keep the game fresh bu making small changes
3) Balance the sides if other squads are rotating also

I guess I am surprised that anyone chooses to take it personal of find it wrong.  It's no big deal to me what any other squad chooses to do in this matter.

I do agree that it seems many "quakeheads" seem to be coming to the game and acting juvenile.  Best thing a game can have is a good community.  This one seems to be slipping to me, I hope that isnt a trend that continues.

At the end of the day, some people here have no life and take this game far too seriously.

Dowding, this is a bit like sitting in a pub and having arguments over football teams, coaches and the players.

 Luckily no one ever got trampled to death or fatally beaten by a gang of skin heads at a UBB flame fest though

Hehehe  

Not even football 'discussions' involve the amount of juvenile toejam you have to wade through here.

Maybe computer games are just for kids after all?

When I was a trainer I made it a point to fly for a different side every night. For the reasons stated above, it made getting to know everyone a bit easier, and you could catch calls from help on country channel you might otherwise miss.

Point is, there are any number of reasons to switch sides. Don't assume people switch for the wrong reason (if such a reason does indeed exist).

Yeah ok, allow me to inject something else into your thought processes.

Nothing wrong with changing sides........but certain people arent being absolutely honest about the reasons.

Change at the start of a tour......not 10 minutes before a reset to get the perk points.  

And here's how I know.......a certain squadron were discussing this on an RW channel just before they moved (and the reset).   Someone else was on that RW channel......and no-one noticed.
