I was thinking of taking things into my own hands instead of waiting for that inept staff to finally come to the realization that they really need someone like me and make a big push to boost the CT population with a broad ad campaign.
But as it has been mentioned by many before, some people come to the CT and don't get it and just leave. Or find us to be too "serious". So I was thinking before making a big push, how about making a list of people that would like to be "CT Ambassadors".
This would be people not only willing to answer a persons question that is new to the CT, but to actively seek out names they don't recognize and offer their help or to be their wingman. Maybe invite them in to fly with your squad, so they can feel what I consider to be one of the best parts of this game.
Now I know this could be expected of any of us in the CT. But I was thinking of using this list of names in my advertising for the CT and it may give a new person the sense that they already "know" somebody in the CT.
I would expect an Ambassador to be dedicated and proactive, receiving no recognition other than possibly helping in repopulate the CT.
Just an idea, but better than just enabling the this plane or that the bring people into the CT.

Arlo answers questions. (This is pretty much how it has gone)
Q: Are there any special rules here?
A: Yeah. You have to HO, gang, vulch, spawncamp and cherrypick or you're considered a dweeb.
Q: Do I have to be in a squad?
A: Only if you expect to successfully conduct operation Shock and Awe as you swarm the enemy bases.
Q: Why am I not earning perks?
A: That only happens in the Columbian Coffee Bean setup.
Q: Are you being serious?
A: Deadly.

I'm sorry but were not looking for someone with your qualifications at this time.

Ok Bug a few changes to your thing.
1 ambassador from each active CT squad(312, JG54, Gunfighters, Flying monkies, JG7, and a few others)
You have got to drag them from the MA. How many n0b's ask questions when they get in here, and just leave after reading the Motd. Personally i thing that is what scares tham away. That and they dont have there favorite airplanes like lghey etc in here.
My proposal: Take down the Setup thing motd. Put up a:
Hi,
Welcome to the Combat theatre. You can view the current setup at http://www.hitechcreations.com. Plane rank enabled.
Have.
Regards,
CT Staff.
other than that i think it might be good. The motd change would want to make more people check out the setup, instead of. crap my favorite plane not here im going to the ma.
-
I like your MOTD change Skull, but I have more of a twist planned for that, but very much along the same lines. I can't reveal everything for free.:D VoteBug!:aok
I would like to think that each of the squads would be represented, but it's not a necessity.
Also I'm considering more than just dragging them from the MA .
You know you wanna Skull! ---->VoteBug!:aok

Hmmmm .....
I get the feeling that our ambassadors may not all be on the same page as far as a flying FAQ is concerned.
But I became an ambassador for the CT long ago on my own anyhow. :D

Let me get this straight. You're dising the CT banner and the page it's linked to as being an example of a failed attempt to promote the CT? I've got a clue for you. It's gone further to promote the CT than anything you've done so far. I've noticed a couple of dozen visiting players reference the site. Granted ... a couple complained that it was false advertising and split before I could explain that the arena was having some technical problems. And I did it unconditionally ... no strings attached. Now ... you were saying something about ambASSadors? :D
-
bug what did i tell you about the simley?
:aok =ghey smiley.

And you're still sensitive about those banners. Damn you are way too easy. You should be a staffer, you're as limp d%@ked as they are.

Are you trying to communicate to me Arlo what turns you on?
-
Yaknow ... skullhumping some sense into you does kinda turn me on. :D
-
Ready and waiting. Point out my lack of sense anytime.
-
Big target there. :D
-
Pick one.
-
Should we start with your assuming the Ermey animation was aimed at your forehead? :D
-
I questioned it, hardly assumed it. That would be a miss.
-
Nice try. Well actually ... pitiful. :aok
-
Yours? I agree. Try again, this one is on the house.
-
Listen, peewee ... if that's all you can muster you need to step back down to the t-ball league. :D
-
Keeping it in your league. Ain't seen anything major league out of you, so don't flatter yourself.
You know you've got nothing on me. You know you agree with most of everything I say. You may not agree with my way in communicating it, but you do agree with the message.
But that's not to say I don't find you amusing. Please don't find a girlfriend anytime quick or go off your Meds and claim to be leaving AH.
P.S. I'm one up on you with the banner slam.
-
Maybe I should take pity on you and assume you're kidding but I've known you long enough to know better. :D
-
It's a happy place in my world, you should come join me.
-
I can manage happiness without the cartoon network, but thanks for asking. ;)
-
Pssst .... let me help ya. Mention my animation. :D
-
No really, come over tomorrow and I will fix you up with Velma, you'd be quite the couple.
Night, night I will be dreaming of you.
-
Even with a slow underhand pitch he misses then decides to call it a night. Ok, night. :D
-
Ahhh, your animation looks nice?? Help me behead the CT staff and I will put an F4u in every setup??
-
LOLOOLOOLOLOLLOL
EWE HAXORs teh 3L3CshuN!
-
Well, good luck. I may vote ya. May not. We'll see what platforms crop up. I've pretty much hinted what I'm lookin' for. If I don't see it maybe I'll run meself.

I for one hope you do.
-
I don't think it'd be a joyride, though. Would rather not. I think if you get elected you may decide it wasn't worth it. But, of course, that's merely my take on it.
I kinda like the idea of any and all regulars being able to earn arena setup privs (subject to revocation if they're caught abusing such).
-
It's hardly something I want to do, more something that needs to be done.
-
I think I'll hold off this run and see who gets it and what they do with it. I suspect the current staff is having a mixture of burnout and hard luck at the moment. That don't mean I won't make suggestions as to what I think'll work, still. But that also means I won't expect my suggestions to be carried out.
-
Ok, night. Was fun arguin' with ya, again. And nooooo .... you still can't word joust with me worth a flip, so there! :D
-
Night Arlo. Love you.
-
:rolleyes:
-
ahem get a room guys please.
-
Have you two guys set a date yet? Which one of you is going to wear the dress? Will it be a white dress?
-
I'm not a Mormon, so ... being that I'm still legally your husband, I have to keep Bug on the side as my bit .... errr ... mistress. :D
