So now we've all stopped tearing each others buttholes out and are kissing up... when we gonna try again?

p.s. could you make it either earlier (one or two hours) or on Sat cos I had to take Monday off work for the last one (GMT+12 here, or EST+17).

p.p.s I think there should be no merge in the next one, just refs call go when everyone formed up at 15k, 10 miles from each other.

cheers

Yeah, I'd like to give this another go too.

Perhaps we change things up a bit. Still Axis vs Allied... but give each side 2-3 fields and a certain choice of planes. The winner is the first side that captures a field.

We'd definitly need to stick to the KISS principle. If one could design an easily understandable ROE in about 5 sentences it would have much more success imho.

Still think, 2 or 3 fields per side, and first side to land 150% of the starting plane count per side wins or most kills in 90 min which ever comes first.
Both sides start on the ground, in the tower. roster is closed 5 min befor. Respawns are ok.
Would be cool if channel 1 and host messages could be disabled in the arenas so you could not see the kill totals accumulating.....no heckling either.

Capt America> No nead to apologize Lantern..we fought the good fight...
The Skull> sound of Walther PPK chambering round..All is forgiven Rino.....

Chaprone>....Congrats to the BLLLEEEEEPPP they have won due to achieving 18 kills in a time of 38 minites. The BLEEEP needed 1 more kill for the victory. Would the captains like to take a 20 min break for a debrief or start another round in 20 minites?

Be sure to e-mail me the time you pick so I can double-check the calendar.

Also, pay attention to these sites when scheduling events-

http://www.ropescourse.org/snapshot.htm

and

http://www.hpcisp.com/~kieren/calendar/calendar.htm

We also will want to get a CM there to watch your event, so the sooner you set this up, the better.

If we *did* do something like this again... Would there be any reason we couldn't just go with all Allied planes vs all Axis planes? How about all German vs all American?

I'm not gonna waste my time thinkin' about the pros and cons of such a thing, cuz y'all are gonna come up with more meaningful opinions on it than I ever could.

In my opinion, something like this would open the event up to more people that may not have participated due to having little experience with the limited 2 planes in the last duel.

But I bet there's a snag... Lets hear it.

-----edit-------
And I also vote that we give Hang and Hristo the lead on this. Uhm... Think about it.

Gents.. this sounds like fun! I'd love to get in it.

However; to avoid any possible slight chance of a potentialy dangerous personality flare-up; I'd have to refuse any role of any kind.

Thanks tho.. I'll watch with great intrest; and hop aboard when it's safe to do so... at some future date.

Rumble 1 woulda been a great learning experience and just plain fun as hell regardless of outcome if Hristo and I didn't have so damn much baggage piled on the outcome; and frankly either one of our presences in a susequent LW vs Allied rumble would instantly imperil it's perception by the community at large. Very sad.. but true.

Several guys come to mind for leadership of the LW's team.. Dingy and Udie can be counted upon to keep it on a straight track and avoid any politicly charged claptrap being touted as part of it. For the allied side I'd suggest Ripsnort or Jihad in the lead.. damn fine groups they are developing now and they are both good at organising and disseminating info. I think they can also be counted on to do their damndest to keep the crap from starting ala Rumble 1. TOAD would also be a great choice.. but his time is limited and his schedule can be a bear.. he's a commercial pilot and is often away..

Anyhow.. I'll watch with great intrest these developments in getting the Rumbles goin.. good core group; and I think there's plenty of intrest for it.

Good luck gents.. shout if I can help!

<S> Hang (damn.. my arm is gettin' tired)

LW:
Dingy or Udie

Allied:
Ripsnort or Jihad

Step up gentlemen.

We'll iron out the details as we go... Baby steps here.
