Taxation without Representation

Let me tell you about Cap.

In cap I had near 60 (not all at once of course but we maxed 32 and would need to reinvite before each frame depending on who showed up; the cap mailing list had 63 email addys) folks flying in my cap squad. First with the BoB map I explained to the Axis co that the grass fields were set up so that one of the buildings was actually a hangar.  I also made a post on the forum. No one listened and it caused problems.

When we moved to NA we were given set of orders that were changed 2 days before the event. The entire frame was re-written (plane set and all) because allied farm bois were spanked handily in first few caps in no small part to guys flying with me. We had near 80% of the axis kills in 1 frame. When we got screwed I argued on behalf of those guys flying with me. I was the only one in my squad doing the arguing. It didn’t help and for that frame only 15 of the 60 showed up.

The next frame they decided to use the Tunisia terrain, which is highly unsuited for events. First the terrain while a great ct terrain is to small with only like 15 miles between bases and as expected it turned into a vulch fest. After that frame 80% of the guys flying me quit cap. I went to the forum and argued again on their behalf, no one else from the squad did so. My argument fell on dead ears so we quit and most have not played another frame.

I did go back and add a "I told you so" after reading the logs of one of the Pac sets up where the axis got like 1 kill the entire frame. For the most part as Cap began to suck I quit and haven’t gone back.

If anything that’s advice you and yours should follow about the ct. You made your argument, no one is listening so you have a choice continue to whine or quit.

There’s no doubt that I will argue a point to death and back but once its settled I move on. I do this in the events I in which I was part of the command staff and I did so on behalf on my squad in both Cap and ToD (now squad ops).

But in those events I brought more folks/squads in with me then most of the others. There are a few guys who will only fly events with us (Brady and I). We make no apologies for that.

Cap is still going on and apparently doing well (I don’t know because I haven’t kept up).


Il2 has several, so does wwiiol. I play both

"There’s no doubt that I will argue a point to death and back but once its settled I move on"

Exactly. So dont give others a 10 point lecture on how to express their concerns, doubts, or gripes, especially since you dont even participate anymore.

You aren't wearing white here, none of us are.

I don't think I said I wear white. When I thought things were getting bad with events I volunteered to Co them. The same thing when I volunteered to be a CT Cm. After the past 2 events where there were major arguments over scenario designs I decide to design my own.

But my own hypocrisy aside, this particular thread is about Bugs claim that the cms and in particular Brady owes him something. My post above is simply points out that there are things that can be done with out the whining.

Not all whining is bad and not every whine needs to be pointed out. But in this case I felt obliged.
