I can think of yet another incident some months ago, in which Fariz took the CV away, without announcement and without consultation. I don't remember which map it was, but the Bish CV was just north of a knit base. We were attacking that base when suddenly we found the CV drifting away north. I checked to see who was in command, and it was Fariz. I asked if we could have it back, and he said No - without giving a reason. When I pressed him for a reason, he pointed out that capture of that base would put Bish between a knit field to the east, and a rook field to the west. He wanted to leave the status quo so that rook and knit could fight eachother between the rook base, and the knit base which we had been trying to capture. That way we could attack bases in the north, leaving rook/knit fighting a war on two fronts. Good strategy, and I could understand entirely his reasoning.
But you know what, Fariz? The guys are right. It IS a game, others are paying their $14.95 - the least you can do if taking the CV is to announce it first, and give reasons.
We're walking a fine line here. In a true military scenario, a general or other head honcho is giving the orders and we must carry them out. I actually prefer being of service in a campaign rather than just furballing for my own selfish reasons. Makes doo-doo of my score sometimes, but that's not why I'm here. BUT...
...there are guys who just want "fun" - plink-plink-plink, oooh look, Daddy, that nasty LA7 is going down in flames. These guys like to cite that they're paying $14.95/month...
The two scenarios are diametrically opposed to eachother, and that's why we have problems of this sort.
Fariz - you are an excellent strategist and tactician, but perhaps you might want to soft-pedal on the CV captaincy. If you ARE going to move it, please announce it and give your reasons.
The other CV mismanagement that pisses me off is guys who keep turning the damn thing just as I'm about to land or take off. The other day, some guy kept turning the CV just before I reached rotate speed, making take off with 2000lbs of bombs quite impossible. I crashed 6 times!
