shane... you missed the point entirely. I don't expect anyone to "cater" to me and I don't think they would even if I learned to suck butt as well as you claim to be able to.

I was merely pointing out that it was in their best interest. I have found that most people are suceptible to responding to their own best interest but if butt kissing works for you then.... continue in that vein.

oldman understands... have him explain it to you he is much more patient than I am.

sabre.. guess that was a private joke between you and mr personality?

then why even bother posting the request, i.e. "cater to meeeeeee, the all-knowing lazs who knows what's best for everyone" ?

those with an interest in CT type setups will gravitate to it. those who merely dabble in CT occasionally, especially when some MA map they don't care for is up, well... i guess you take what's on the menu. that's the good thing about CT the menu is always changing and it takes time to cycle thru all the various setups, not to mention all the potential setups available.

here's an idea, since you don't want to make an MA map that would suit what you deem is in everyone's best interest, why don't you join the CT staff and then you can create all the planeset matchups you desire (and deem in teh best interest of everyone). who know's maybe you'll get lucky and your CT setup will concur with the pizza map (or any other map you don't think is in everyone's best interests).

why not simply create your own little H2H arena so you and 7 other buddies can furball to your heart's content and get outrageous k/t's and stuff? you can even make it easier if you crank up lethality where it takes only 20 .303's to blow up a plane.

it's all about the action, right? or does it actually have to do with beetle-isms of being able to post on the BBS of your exploits?

what oldman is failing to acknowledge is that 99.5% of the MA-type dweebs have zero interest in early war setups, or even CT type setups, early, mid, or late war. otherwise the CT would be pretty populated already. there's no significant increase or decrease in CT #'s that is dependent upon the particular setup in place.

why don't you bring the BK's and maybe suck in the TAS and fly CT regularly? the increase in just these #'s on a steady basis might in turn result to more people stopping by, because, hey, there's #'s in CT!! and it snowballs!!

the above is a much better suggestion than trying to suggest what you *think is in the best interests for everyone* which is actually a shoddily disguised me me me whine.

lazs, you da man

(big hug)

never thought I would get to see you upset mister tighty pants.

CT is there for people that dont want to play in the other place. I play 2 hours a week now, and thank god for the CT (more accurately my squad) or I wouldnt even be playing that. If 'those other guys' want to swing by when their map sucks, all power to em. Maybe since I play so little now it doesnt bother me, but every time I log (tues and thurs at 10pm est) there are 60+ in the CT. Seems good to me.

Maybe that is a sign that the community is getting ready for more variety. That other place will always have a big calling, but you need to have some structure sometime, and I think TOD is going to really do that for us. Play around in the 'other place' get warmed up or bored, then head to the TOD and try to do the best flying you have done all week. Fly planes the way they were designed and fly to complete a mission with other like minded individuals. no little generals, no k/d ratio. Ahhh, cant wait.

we did bring the BK's and some tas guys and we did just fine... plus... we had a real good time.

as for me joining the ct crew and making any map or plane matchup I wanted.... I don't think they would let me do anything but allied vs axis..

The CT is fun if it is early or mid war with close fields and good furballs... if you have to look for action it is a drag... if you fly it tooo often the reality of how simplistic the axis vs allied setup is starts to get to you ... boring..

It is fun once in a while and I am grateful that it is there as an alternative for the bad times in the MA like pizza and night time.

I think a lot of the people that leave the MA during night or pizza are the type who like some action. If the CT offers a fun planeset with close fields it will attract people.... this is much different from "catering" to lazs. But....

let me know how your butt sucking plan works out.

Looks like having an early war set with close fields worked out pretty good tho last night eh guys? everyone had a lot of fun.

i don't need to suck butt... there's nothing worthwhile to make such an effort from my perspective.

sure they'd accept you as a CT staffer if they had a slot open (not sure)... yeah you'd be confined to pretty much axis vs allies, altho an occasional "what if" setup pops up.

you're limiting yourself by excluding the late war setups... there are very many decent matchups in any given period, rarely does one side or the other have an overwhelming or significant advantage in planes. nothing simplistic about limted planeset matchups. acm is acm, planes have their own strengths and weaknesses. but that's ok, not everyone can handle all the planes in the AH lineup.

#'s imbalance? .. sure at times, but weenies are as weenies do, i think you'd fit right in on the side that has the occasional 2+:1 advantage.

and most maps have areas with close bases, some maps have a few dead spots with further apart bases. and some maps are used over a variety of periods/setups.

you're really obsessed with "close bases" depsite the fact that on mnay maps bases are pretty "close." how do you define close anyway, within sight of each other?

last night and the night before were good fights.. the fields were "close" in one case it was a CV and it was indeed "within sight" and the other was about 3/4 of a sector away which I consider about right. with the current PTO setup there has to be a very close field (cv) with a large furball to negate the advantage the zeke has over the f4f. that is what is happening.

I have flown every plane in the set. I do about the same in all of em. I just find the late war ones boring for the most part.

Allied vs axis would keep me from wanting to be on the "staff". I can't see any set that would not be unbalanced and simplistic.

sooo... the CT is fun for a change of pace and if you don't stay to long and if the fights are close and even and if the MA has night or pizza or something allmost as bad and if...
