Coming off the suggestion below, AW's "Fighter Town":

"Furball Fever"
Monday Nights in Dueling Arena
Host:Me or whoever the CM crew wants to host it.
Begins 9:00pm EDT to ?? (I know, not Euro Friendly   )
Planes will be picked by host or Free for all(no buffs).  Announced on the BBS prior to the engagement.

We had 10 online last night..Everyone had a blast!

Whaddya think?

Good idea Rip, I wish you would have warned about this event earlier though

We had 10 on LAST wed too, even a couple of hot sticks showed up (Zig and Cit)....I think if the word got out properly, we could have 20 vs 20 in there!  With those 15k field 25 miles apart, just about the time you get your wheels up and use the relief tube, you're in the thick of things!

Well I posted in the Fighter Town thread before I saw this one. My suggestion was for Monday night. Wednsday night would screw up my AW FT night. And I am trying to drag some of the hot sticks from there to here. But it is up to you guys.

As far as the plane set goes, We have tried to alternate the plane set in FT and found that it is much better to leave everything but the Buffs active and let the furball sort it out.

What happens is the best pilots usualy grab the crap planes and the rookies end up in the better planes. Of course that dosnt stop the good pilots from flying the best planes, but most of them like the challenge of the weaker aircraft vs the stronger ones. And it allows the rookies to have a good time while learning. nobody wants to die all the time

Monday would work, too.  As far as A/C type goes, we may HAVE to allow for anything since only CM's would be able to turn on and off A/C choices, and they won't do that in the Dueling arena.

Let's tenatively shoot for Monday at 9:00pm EDT, any plane type goes, Fields A1>>A2.  Sound good?

Editted top post to reflect Monday, and either FFA or picked A/C types.  We'll just go with the flow of the first few that show up.

Could one of you Euro time guys step to the plate and organize a Mon.Euro time for this?  I can't afford to do this on week-ends, and I work during the evening times in Europe.  Maybe have a Furball Fever at 8:00pm GMT?  Then another (which would be us) at 2:am GMT...this way it wouldn't interfere with the events on the week-ends.
