What a blast that was, haha

It was great to see a horde coming towards you and knowing they none of them will HO or run like girls.


the results were inconclusive and I had to leave early from girl ack, but from my perspective the BKs side owned me totaly.

my average life span was 30 seconds :)

Furball and Redd got me.



thanks to all who took part (and probably still in there without me :( ) it was great fun.

someone else can setup the next one but i will definitely be there.
Title: ATTENTION: Squad Dueling thread people
Post by: streetstang on February 13, 2005, 05:04:23 PM
The fighting was fun but too much downtime between fights. IE little organization. Not your fault at all Bat. Good idea, and you did the best you could.

I had very little time to begin with so when we had people starting to rtb to land kills in the DA that was enough for me. Not going to hang around when we're saposed to be fighting.

Also I think if you want to do this again we should settle on teams before hand. I understand you tried to but we got in there and it took 20 minutes to get teams settled after the fact.

All in all the concept is good and the potential for fun is deffinatly there. I just think if its going to be sucessful there should be some more rules set and if you dont follow them then you dont fly.

Thanks again for setting it up.

Edit: We might want to look into this... http://www.flightladder.com//ladder.php?ladderid=4

I think it would make thing's more... smooth.

Title: ATTENTION: Squad Dueling thread people
Post by: mechanic on February 13, 2005, 05:13:39 PM
agreed, problem being that with 20 guys typing on the text buffer its hard to get yourself heard.



new rules will include:

No landing 'kills', if there's no more bad guys then auger.

Full teams list and channels/planes/alts/rules all set before hand.

No perk planes (maybe)?

NO ME163s or vulching!   :rofl


next time, someone else make a good time to do it and decide these rules before hand.



I enjoyed it very much although i totaly agree there was too much down time.



Thanks to all who came along, lets do it again next week? :p


oh,  who won the hurricanes?
Title: No Vulching....:(
Post by: kamori on February 13, 2005, 05:19:59 PM
The only reason I did that was to make the point that no rules or guidelines for the athority challenged were posted....so this could be a fun time...expecting ALL to catch the text buffer on all statements is unrealistic.

Next time it will be better if posted before hand ..

KAMORI... :aok
Title: ATTENTION: Squad Dueling thread people
Post by: streetstang on February 13, 2005, 05:20:47 PM
I would love to do it again Bat. I would have like to have stayed in longer but was just too pressed for time as it was... And like I said. I wasnt going to be putting other things off while people land kills... in the DA... :)

Maybe we could get a forum going... Just a thought for those who want to take it some what seriously but still have fun... Stick to the few rules that are set in place and just kick back for some good fighting. I would imagine a call to skuzzy would take care of it. Or we could just set up a separate BB. I have one.

Anyways. Thanks again.

Was a blast all . If you guys put another one together let me know. As for the Hurris I believe 71st side won that 1 but not sure.
Title: ATTENTION: Squad Dueling thread people
Post by: BlueJ1 on February 13, 2005, 05:24:03 PM
Team on rooks won hurris. I think that was one of the few we did win.

Was very fun. The leaders need to have more authority tho. For the first time being run it worked out real nice.

Was very nice to see alot of good sticks showed up. It was fun to be shot down by guys you normally just see in the text buffer landing kills.

Post by: Redd on February 13, 2005, 06:06:47 PM
I thought it went pretty well - there was a couple of children there trying to screw things up , but everyone who was flying had fun.

Kamori - pulling crap like that  to demonstrate " there is no rules"  is kind of lame actually - it somewhat added to the confusion when we were getting vulched trying to take off. You need a rule to tell you not to do that ?




Well done Batfink
Title: ATTENTION: Squad Dueling thread people
Post by: mechanic on February 13, 2005, 07:46:20 PM
thanks Redd, although it was no major effort on my part.

just glad so many dudes turned up to play.

thinking about it, the 71 squadron team only had myself and BlueJ as 71sqn members, so we are affectionately known as 'the good guys' by Flyboy


and BK's side (who had a better turnout of squaddies) were named 'the bad guys' with equal affection.



so, from now on, we'll just have the 'good guys' and the 'bad guys' with teams and plane set being sorted the week before each event.

just to make things clear....

THE RULES

good guys are on vox channel 202 always, and bad guys on vox channel 201.

the merge is set at 8k untill icon visual with the enemy.

players can choose how much fuel they take, although 25% is obviously recomended.

NO landing kills, it is not needed.   if your team has won just auger or ditch where you are.  no-one will give you a 'wtg' for landing so why bother ;) added to this it wastes time as S.Stang stated.

walkons are alowed, but check in with either myself (the good guys) or one of the BK's (the bad guys)before you start fighting.



i think thats about it.



morph, if you want to go ahead with your idea of phoning skuzzy, or setting up your own BB, that would be great.

Is this not the start of the true 'furball underground'?

i look forward to continued events in later weeks,


S! all

Ill get ya next time furgadget.

heh

Well I got a BB there set up. The public one. The one you can see is open to anyone. If we want to use it then I'll make a forum dedicated to this. The "Fuballunderground" is alive and well. ;)

Yeah it was a fun turn out.

It seems running these things is always a nightmare, no reflection on any of the the guys that put themselves out there  and run them either.

There is no protocol, so it's hard.

Hawk had good idea, a game of capture the flag, where the flag is your ability to up from your field.

You can up as soon as your dead or wait, whatever, but once a base is capped game over.

Looks like you guys are getting it together, very cool.  Looking forward to this as well toolsheds.

yeah. now thats a great idea.

unlimited planes untill you get too close to your base to up effectively.

with the MA 'horde invaders' game in such a steamrolling condition as it is now, this kind of thing could work out great for those who prefer to furball a little each weekend with a group of like minded folk.

i'm really looking forward to this happening again, although i must stress.....I am not the sole organiser, i just got the ball rolling hopefully. Its up to everyone involved to arrange time and fights that suit as many as possible.

check in with the 'furball underground' forum (in morph's sig) for more details on coming events.



hopefully next time i might get a kill too!! :)

this time all i managed was to ping up a 190 and to shoot off one of Furball's gear from his Val in my P40E :lol

Cap the field idea is the best. All that is needed is one person to say go and it's on. After the first push you would have great 2v1 1v1 and so on. I had fun seeing all of the horde of red dots at the same alt. WoT on average has 7 to 10 guys on during the evenings we could do this as a informal event. Lately I have been getting bored of main and would love to hop in the DA for a quick duel with my squad. If we could keep it to squads that have some respect for each other it should be fun.

 Idea is to look at the roster see if their is another squad on the list that has the same number of players and ask them if they would like to have a squad duel in 30 minutes. Sometimes this would not work because they are on a mission but last night at 10:00 central when their was 650 players on I know we would have done it out of frustration of alt monkeys and la7 drivers. It would have been a good hour dueling fun to off set main.  I like to duel but i also like to to listen people complain because they got picked lol.

We need a list of friendly squads that would be willing to do this.

I'll do my best to make the next one.

Batfink..wonderful job as always. You do this squad proud with deals like this.

To all that were in it...'s I hope to shoot some of you next time.:aok

I had fun regardless, but I think a game of Capture the Flag is the way to go.  That way no Alt Caps or plane restrictions (though I do think No Perk Rides allowed).  If you Die, just re-plane and come back.  Here's the rules I would suggest.

1. No Perk Rides
2. No leaving the sector. If caught you must auger and replane.
3. If your caught cheating in any way (i.e. Perk plane, ect.) your disqualified and not allowed to continue. (Or possibly a penalty box for 5 mins like Hockey)
4. If your told by the Event Leader you are in violation and ignore them, your TEAM loses.
5. The Event Leader should not participate in the Event other than to be the Moderator or Referee. (possibly the event leader could fly a 262 around to keep an eye out, that way everyone knows the Jet is Neutral.)
6. Each Side should have a Captain, The Event Leader should talk strictly to the Team Captains only. The Team Captain should be controlling his TEAM.
7. A Cap should be considered when no opponents plane is in the air anywhere in the designated sector. Rolling down the runway is NOT Airborne.
8. The Event Leader will Decide when a CAP has been established and call the win.
9. Yes, Vulching is allowed, it's considered CAPPING a Base.

I'm sure I'll think of a few more. Anyone else got any Ideas?

Later, SHawk

Only problem I see with that is weenies are just going to jump in fast planes (LA7's,51's and D9'd)  , and it will be just  like a mini-MA wth folks flying around cherrypicking from 20k

I liked the fact that this was a quick furball/duel - all in , no running , fight to the death.

Nowhere to hide  :)


Wasn't that the spirit of the original idea ?
Title: ATTENTION: Squad Dueling thread people
Post by: streetstang on February 14, 2005, 07:51:05 PM
I know what you mean Redd and I agree with you in that the running part and rolling fast planes such as La7's could lead to running. That's just another one of those issues that'll have to be talked through and worked out.

And even tho this idea has a HOTH'ish taste to it the fact that you are flying with and working with your squad brings the idea to a different level. One that I personaly love.


Anyways. That forum batfink wanted is up and running now.

http://www.furballunderground.com/phpBB .

I made a section for the squad duels so that if anyone is really interested in it and wants to keep going with this idea has somewhere to post on it. I'm gonna make batfink a Moderator (once he registers), this was his idea after all. And he can head it up. I will help though if he needs me to, as I always.

nice one on the bbs, thank you very much.


I like shawks idea, but it would would work better to have a rough plane set for each side also.


Hopefully Redd, any 'weenies' will get shown up very fast ;)

 but yes, i agree, the main thing is about the formation attack scenario.


We could have formation attack rounds, followed by capture the flag with a specific leader.


In the spirit of the game, i'd say no to the moderator, but yes to just two team captains who control each side. nobody is going to want to organise one and not fight, surely. I think we're old enough to agree in sportsmanship when we've won or lost the game. If a captain gets shot down the team can no longer up or something..

anyone who is interested go to the furball underground forums.

In all honesty I think this would run alot smoother by having someone who ultimatly makes the decisions. And who both works with and has a say over team captains.

Another topic open for discusion tho. I hope.

I  think the plane choices should be fixed - ie 1 in all in - each side flys the same plane  eg  Spit v 109 , jug vs 190 , 51 vs yak etc etc or - interesting matchups, either that or both sides fly the same plane. Mix up a bit of both.

Throw in a  free choice (no perks) round and you probably have a good mix.

I have to agree with whatever means necessary to stop the weenies from dooing just this.  Everyone came in to fight Lute came in with his Tempest to cherry pick.  I think this goes against what we are trying to do here.  I thought that was poor form in this venue.  If you want to Bore and Zoom you can go to the MA.

I think an alt limit is necessary as well, so you don't get the guys just climbing to 20k and hovering over a field.  Maybe the cap has to be maintained without going 5K AGL.

Honestly the whole point is to create a furball environment not a vulch fest, so the end game should be made as hard as possible so the fur can stay in the middle.
