Just a note to let ya know that work is underway on this year's Rumble.
The best part is.... this is a knock down drag out REMATCH.
That's right... Hangtime and Hristo are back and have signed on to duke it out once again... and to lead you poor SOBS to the thrill of victory or the agony of humiliation.
This event will be formally announced shortly with registration opening, and the event itself likely to occur sometime next month.
Schprockets...Schprockets...T ouch my monkey! Love him!!! Now ish de time on Schprockets vhen we dance!!

sorry,but I stand by my word given when "that" happened in the first rumble.
-
Hehe Ram... don't be such a pansy.
Save the poetry readings, tupperware parties etc. for the MA (or wherever). This is a Rumble. You know... bike racks, 3:30.
Just kiddin' bud (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif) ... but really, this is a fight. Hhm... will need some volunteers tho...

Is this a redo of the 10 v 10 duel in 190s and 51s? Last time I flew for the 190s when I was flying the A5 alot.
Now that my darling is back with the unneutered guns, Im flying Allies in my 51! (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

Suh- WEEET.
I'll let the experts fly, but I'll be around for this. Maybe as a flying ref if you need one.. or four. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)
Heh.. should this one go well, we'll have to arrange a P-47 vs. FW-A rumble. That would be cool. D11 vs. A5 or D-30 vs. A8?

Ok Hristo.. some points I wanna get across now, and then we can move on to the main event...
The ROE arrangements will NOT be handled by us. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)
The event organization, ROE and it's results will be arranged and judged by observer CM's and their judgement is BINDING.. i.e. if they give us a wave off and re-fly; we do it; no arguments.
We're doing this for FUN... and the edification of our respective crews. Neither of us will allow our personal disregard for the other to color (too much) the tone of the event, and we will keep this on a higher level than we (meaning I) allowed the original to get too.
....and regardless of the results; you and I, 1 v 1 one more time. For old times sake. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif) Dora v P51D, best of 5; co-alt, guns cold merge; 15k.
Agreed?

Heya Hang,
I've been hashing out the plane selection with Hristo over the last 2 days, and I will then take the proposals and get your stamp of approval or modifications (will possibly even be sending this to you tonight). I will then send this back to Hristo for any other modifications etc. It's going very smoothly though and I don't anticipate any problems here.
It's just easier this way 'cause I know you two like to fight (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
Hristo's has some great suggestions... I think you'll like what's being put together. My goal is to get as many different plane choices as possible for folks, and to my suprise Hristo has been very accomodating about this, even if he's not 100% happy about it (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
As far as the ROE, I'll be sending you two this aswell... It will be simple, fair, and the outcome indesputable. It's based on some good discussions I had with Lephturn and Kieren last year about the 2nd Rumble. In essence, the KISS principal.
This is shaping up to be a best of three match, with differing plane choices for each of the matches. Early War, Mixed (Navy, Soviet, Japanes, etc.), and Late War (including perks). There will be at least 3 plane choices for each side, for each of the 3 matches. Roughly 18 different planes here, so that should please most folks.
I aiming to host this in the DA... however if I can coordinate with the CMs (banana, I'll be writing you tonight) that would be optimal as we can can control the enabling/disabling of the planes that way, as well as make use of some other features that might help this run more smoothly.
Uhm... that's all I can think of for now.
-
Nash... I really appreciate what yer doing here.. thanks mon. <S!>
This all sounds great.. and you've nailed the salient points dead on. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

Granted it's during a time I can fly...
can I join in?

Absolutely SeaWulfe...
This event is open to anyone and everyone.
An update:
The planes lined up (but not yet confirmed) are:
P51B, P51D, P47D-25/D-30, P38L, Spit IX, Tempest, Fw 190A-5/A-8/D-9, Me 109G-6/G-10, Ta 152H-1, P51B, P47D-11, Fw 190A-5, La 5FN, F6F, Tempest, La7, Fw 190D-9, Spit V, Seafire, Typhoon, P47D-11 109F-4/G-2/G-6, Fw 190A-5, Yak 9T, Zero, Ki 61, C.205...
Er... lousy cut 'n paste job, prolly some repeats and omissions... but you get the idea. That's pretty much everything, right? No Nikis or Chogs though (don't need the headache). Basically - if you can't find a ride you all like in there I can recommend a half decent civilian flight sim fer ya (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
Still, this isn't gonna be AC stew. These planes will be doled out in 3 separate matches.
For eg. (and this is still *not* confirmed - just to give you an idea):
Fight 3:
Allies: P51B, P51D, P47D-25/D-30, P38L, Spit IX, Tempest.
Axis: Fw 190A-5/A-8/D-9, Me 109G-6/G-10, Ta 152H-1.
The first two fights will see some earlier war and mixed planes.
I'm discussing a few things with the CM crew right now and it looks like we're able to take a spot that's usually reserved for Snapshots (Thanks Daddog!). This will be a Saturday sometime next month at 4pm EDT (or EST or whatever the hell that is)... 1 pm Pacific. An Euro-friendly time was a must.
We will be importing the Dueling Arena's terrain into the SEA, so we can take advantage of alot of features that would only be possible with the CM's assistance.
I think this terrain will give us everything we need for a good fight.
I am starting work on the website so registration will be open shortly. I'll let you all know. I'm hoping to have it automated which we save me alot of work (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
Oh! And there will be a seperate area to record and track wagers! Feelin' lucky? Cash on the barrel head, son. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
What else....
Still in the process of refining plane types and zeroing in on the ROE. I estimate later this week or early next week for that.
Uhm... that's all I can think of right now.
Oh... Leph, yes - Thanks for the offer to volunteer. Most appreciated, and I'm gonna take you up on that. Will need a few more and we are also fortunate to have the great help of the CMs for this event.
Will give y'all another update as this thing starts to take shape.
-
Maybe leave out the perk planes alltogether?
-
Yes Grun, maybe. Like I said we're still working on it.
If everything's fine by Hristo and Hangtime, that is what I'm prepared to go with.
Edit - I usually let the spelling mistakes go, but this one was far too goofy. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
