Ok, seeings that the BK's are not a mega squad, we will not be filling out the entire rostor for Team Zeke in the upcoming scenario, which means that YES, you could fly with the uber 733t BK's!
All those interested post here leaving the following info:

You will be PM'd with acceptance into Team Zeke.
Go here if you do not have a scenario event handle and register:
http://www.ahevents.org/site/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=51&Itemid=73
The last bit of drama to add to this is that the top three scoring "walk ons" will be considered for membership in the uber 733t Bee Kay's!!! That or get to clean up Lev's **** from his frequent bouts of drunken diarrhea.

1. Registrations don't work
2. Why BK's have most fun rides before scenario and all others have to fly crappy planes ?
-
registration isn't open yet, and team zeke is like the swiss only they get to kill everybody.
Congrats Bodhi lookin foward to it.
ah any chance team zeke could miss frames three and four
-
Ramzey, if you want a zeke, this is your chance to bid for a spot. You a drinking man?
-
are you suggesting im alcoholic?
-
if you're not one, don't bother applying. ;)

After BoB it will be nice to bounce once in awhile.....I'm in if the BK's will give me one of those nice jump suits :)

1) Team Building is underway. This will be an intense event, and there will be much effort placed on recruitment, in advance. That means, Invited. Public registration for slots left over will happen early this week. It would seem to me that offering up something aggressive and positive might go far in this particular event.
2)We didn't invent Pearl Harbor, we work with the planes that are available. Again, since both sides have to deal with being IJN And US, I'd focus on how best to work with what you get.
Ramz, doesn't matter which team you hook up with, you'll be an asset. Hope you find the slot you are looking for.

Does this mean you need to be on the inside to get the choice slots for upcoming event?

what team gets to fly the P40? that's all i want to know
-
It's not team zeke, that much I know. IIRC, the other teams will fly as allied defenders in one frame, and ijn attackers in another, and so on.

both its a side switch event, first two frames are IJN I'm the Co vs Jordi allied co, then frames three and four switch.
Team zeke stay on the IJN side all four frames, in fiters

Since my AH break seems to just be for the MA, and I forgot about Pearl, which I DON'T want to miss, I'd like to place my application for Team Zeke.

It means, show your stuff.
There is no "inside" Doobs, Jordi and Bodhi are Recruiting. Convince them.
Slots left over, if there are any, will be filled by public registration. This way, those that are actively interested in commitment will put forth a effort that will show positive results in the event. Those waiting until the last minute to just sign up might get passed over. It's all about commitment and positive attitude.
This is going to be an aggressive event. So be aggressive. "I" am not the one who is going to decide who is accepted on a team. I'm just making suggestions as to who is going to get attention. These teams are going to win or lose on their ability, the leadership on these teams just "might" be a bit picky. We are giving them that flexibility. I will support 100% their request to have players attend or not. They are putting a great deal of time and energy into building a winning team, I'll back them fully on their decisions. These guys are going to Recruit and Build A Winning Team, it's not an event for the casual.
The goal for this event is Participation. Participation means more than just showing up T-5. This event wont work if players are expecting to register, disappear, then show up frame 1 asking where they should go. That's not fair to those who have put 6+ months into building this, or the team that is going to put multiple weeks into training and practices. Expect to be grilled, drilled and ran through the wringer by the COs that are heading up this event. Don't bother if you don't want to invest at that level. That's just my humble suggestion, again, talk to the respective COs, they "might" have different conditions. Knowing who they are, however, I doubt it.
zorstorer, you have a great rep in here, no slight against you, this is simply an explanation. This won't be the typical event, this is going to be a test of wills, and it's a No Excuse, No Complaint Win or Lose on Merit alone. These team leaders have a team to Build, pure and simple.
I would make a subtle suggestion. Spend the time typing out a reason that the COs of the team you want to be on should chose you. Actions speak louder than words.

Ah... Team Zeke, those were the days. I have always wondered what happened to that one walkon guy who drove his Val straight to Pearl that first frame in AW and tripped the alarm bells. It's probably just me, but I'm betting he plays WoW now (ie. Leeroy Jenkins) :aok
-
We are currently approaching the max quota of 50 pilots for Team Zeke. You will be notified via PM with your acceptance into Team Zeke.
If you are still interested, we will be taking applications for Team Zeke through tomorrow evening. A published rostor may follow, or we may keep it a secret.
-
If there is going to be a stronger interest in this event than our minimum design established, we can expand the roster.
We are looking at 100/100 for primary teams, and 50 Team Zeke.
This event is designed to be expanded if needed. I Hope that is the case :)

I flew for years in this scenario when it was an AW event... always enjoyed flying and training with Team Jordi, and Jordi was also my squad CO back then. So I looked forward to this scenario very much, knowing that Jordi's involvement would make it a GREAT event.
But if its an invited event, forget it. Although I have a better than fair AH record in Fighters and dive bombers, I am certainly not in any "in crowd" and so I stand no chance of being invited, despite years of experience, particularly with this scenario. The vein of elitism and exclusivity in this scenario is noticeable and objectionable to me. You have to be recognized as being worthy. By whom? By whose standards? And who was it that decided that any squad could be so superior to any others that they get to fly the best fighters in the scenario for all four frames?
Exclusivity always divides, and never unites. There are lots of talented and experienced "pilots" out there who would probably love to play but who would never be invited. It's too bad, and sets a bad precedent, especially for any desired feeling of "community".
I was really looking forward to this scenario, but I refuse to beg for a slot in it, and I hope that any other self-respecting pilot would do the same. I can imagine all the flames that I am going to get because of this post, but, to paraphrase the words of that great sage, Eric Cartman: "Screw you guys, I'm staying home".
eh?

All you have to do is ask to be involved. Not like its a hard thing at all. I have not turned anyone away from Team Zeke at all. Except Megadud.
If you could not see the sarcasm literally dripping off my initial post, then, maybe you need to sit back and realise that this is a game where we are all supposed to have fun.
Oh, and one other thing. I kind of like the idea of inviting people to play on your side. It is almost a guarantee that the people show up at the event, insead of the usual last minute scramble to find people when it starts.
As for elitism, I see far more in your post's veiled AWDos references, than has been dished out anywhere involving Pearl Harbor. Cripes, a hell of a lotta guys here in AH2 were in AW. Hell, I even helped host a convention down in Orlando with Darren, and I am not jumpin up and down screaming "me me me" over that. So relax, if you want to fly on any of the teams, just let the respective CO know. Team Zeke is almost full, but I am sure anyone else will let you fly. If you are quick, you might be able to fly with the zekes.
-
We have spent quite alot of time in events going through registration, people filling up slots, then dissapearing until 20 minutes before frame 1 starts, bypassing the beta altogether.
That's a crock, it's a waste of everyones effort.
Public Registration will open, in the mean time, there is recruitment by the COs to allow them to build their team from Solid Participants.
Please explain how that is a bad thing. COs get to Build their Team in advance. They get to populate it with people they can count on. They get to engage people that are active, aggressive, Positive, involved. They get people that Will show up to practice, Will show up to Beta, Will be active on the Boards reviewing mission plans, Will show up on frame day and Will stick out the event because They have invested the time to prepare.
I can assure you I don't spend My free time, nor will I commit my teams free time, to putting out events so that people can show up last minute, Demanding the attention to get them up to speed while not bothering to get involved early on. This isn't a walkon Snapshot event, this is a committment.
Again, show me how that's a bad thing. I'm always open to good ideas.

ROC! i remember you! i used to be in your skwad back in teh day! You were teh funnay bomba pilit. I had you confused with roscoroo who i didn't get along with very well.

-
I would make a subtle suggestion. Spend the time typing out a reason that the COs of the team you want to be on should chose you
Not so subtle. In other words if you are not invited you have to plead your case. Hence I used the word 'beg'
If you could not see the sarcasm literally dripping off my initial post,
Nope, didn't see it. I guess that's what makes email and BBS posts such lousy means of communication.
As for elitism, I see far more in your post's veiled AWDos references, than has been dished out anywhere involving Pearl Harbor.
There were no veiled references to Air Warrior, they were explicit, and they were meant to underline how much I enjoyed the scenario in the past, how happy I was that Jordi was still involved in it, and how disappointed I was to see the current recruitment procedures. I first played as a rookie, and attended all of the (sometimes gruelling) practices that jordi put us through, and enjoyed myself immensely as part of a team with strategy that worked. And I came back for more repeatedly. The current means of recruitment denies that level of immersion, learning and enjoyment to new or beginning players, and so it is bad policy in my judgement.
As for the Eric Cartman reference, that was a paraphrase, not a quote.
My post wasn't demanding an invite nor was I jumping up and down shouting "me me me". For me to accept an invite now after my post would be contradictory to say the least. Pearl is a great scenario and I salute those who put so much work and thought into it. It needs to be thrown open to all, not restricted to a small subset of players.

You still are not grasping the concept. Pearl is not an elitist scenario. It is plain and simply like ROC and I said. The chance to ensure that people are actually going to show up! Team Zeke was to be a group of pilots that were dedicated enough to make it to the events. It is not about superb pilots, if it was, I would not be flying in it, and definitely not superdud. :p Anyways, the event is still open to the public. It always was, and always will be. We are trying to establish a core of people that are and will be there to fly and support the event. Otherwise, it will be like almost every other scenario, populated by the core dedicated group, with the rest walkons who just happen to make it. Thats the gist.
Now, if you are interested in flying, goto the special events web page, and sign up. If you are not, and are just complaining for the sake of it, take it somewhere else. Go start a thread in the O'club regarding the new arena lay outs, thats in vogue now, not scenario bashing.

As a former Group Leader in many scenarios and one time XO, the most disappointing issue was the guys who would sign up for my slots and never appear for a single frame. In the old system, all slots could be registered by guys thinking they might like to fly it and once the popular rides filled up, registration petered out. If they decided not to show up, so what, no skin off their nose.
This new system is much better IMO as the COs and GLs recruit members who will actually populate the slots they register for on frame day. That’s also better for you as a participant but I understand the elitist feeling you’re talking about. Now you need to contact the CO or GL directly and ask for the slot. If you’re early enough, you’ll probably get it but now the GLs and COs also ask if you’ll participate in the practices. It’s more trouble but that’s the point, if you two talk, you’re more likely to participate and if you can’t get the ride you want, or are unwilling to attend the practices, you can decide right then before the event, if you want to continue or try for a walk-on slot (which you may not get.)
This new process was designed so that, you, as a scenario aficionado, would be targeted for future recruitment with personal invites and have the best experience possible. All you need to do is let the side CO above know that you’re serious about events as one of the reasons you play AH and you’ll be getting those personal invites from now on, and by extension, your whole squad could also be welcomed. The CM team is working on a data base of active scenario players and that data base will eventually be available to the side COs so the regular participants will be contacted first for command positions and to fill slots. You might as well jump in now and start building your history of participation.
I hope you find your slot in Pearl and enjoy the event, it looks like a good one.
GL

Hola Megadud
Good to see you :)
-
It needs to be thrown open to all, not restricted to a small subset of players.
This event is open to all. We're just taking the serious ones first, again, why is that a bad thing?
Can you explain to me how throwing it open to all will make it a better scenario, considering what has already been explained as Problems several times in here already?
Do you think it's good for an event if the people taking up registered slots don't bother to participate until the last minute? Does that make the event healthy? While it might be "fair" to everyone who get's to register, the game isn't "Scenario Registration" and things have to happen after the 30 seconds it takes to click the registration button. Is it "fair" to those who will be investing a great deal of time in training, team building, mission planning, discussions and general immersion to be forced to shove 3 or 4 weeks of discussion down the throat of a person who shows up 20 minutes before the event starts, only to hear "Gee thats a stupid idea, you should do it this way"
I'd still like to know the reasoning behind the above quote. Like I said, I'm open to better ideas.
-
i agree, i have flown many scenarios, AW & AH, no shows are a major problem, unless they tell you ahead of time they won't be there, you have to hold their slot open to the last minute then go nuts trying to find a walkon and get them up to speed, make you pull out your hair.

Can we get jump suits like this? ;)
(http://www.thatguysgarage.com/pics/AH2%20Pics/ninja.jpg)
-
Im guilty on a couple of events. BoB, this last one I couldnt make a single frame. However, I see nothing in the near future hindering my attendence for Pearl. Its my favorite scenario so I'll make it no matter what.
I don't see a problem with setting up teams this way. If it was the same squads getting the jump for every scenario, I can see where some feathers would be ruffled, but this is the first time I've seen this done. Its a good idea. Too many people join, and show up at T-5 saying what do I do?
Scenarios are too complex for that, and everyone is way to busy to bother with trying to tend to them. Half the fun of these is the preparation, planning, and anticipation of the battle to come.

(1) I wasn't complaining for the sake of complaining but I may have misinterpreted what you were trying to accomplish (more on that below). Furthermore, I have been in enough scenarios to know how difficult it is when guys don't show up for practise, and arrive late (if they arrive at all) for a frame, demanding to be brought up to speed. That's hell for the managers, COs and XOs. Been there and had to cope with that, so I am fully sympathetic.
Here is what I suggest to get around that problem: before the first frame starts, there are 2, preferably 3 practises. If a player misses a practise and has no valid excuse, he doesn't fly in any of the frames, and someone else is drafted from a pool to fill his slot. There are practises for all the remaining frames, and anyone who misses one of those is out for the rest of the event, because the practices are deemed as important as the event itself. Same rules for everyone, no matter their reputation in Aces High. Even newbies can appreciate that rule, and it might avoid anyone (like me) misinterpreting the current selection process as being elitist.
(2) Here is how I may have misinterpreted the recruitment process as elitist. It looked, from what I had read, that this was an event recruited first by invitation only. That meant that some group was creating a list of good sticks who were known to them, and this old boy network was determining who would get invited. Any invitations that were declined became open, but players would have to compete for the slot by applying, record of some sort in hand, for permission to fly with the preselected elect. Any slots not filled after this would be for walkons ... the equivalent of scraps from the table. I came to this interpretation of the process from reading bodhi's initial post, and ROC's post on the same topic. Please guys... ONE CLEAR statement of the process that is agreed upon by all the managers of the event needs to be posted before more players put their own stamp on what you intend.
(3) If I am wrong about the recruitment process in Number 2, then I apologize for my accusations. If I am right, then my judgement stands.
(4) Will I sign up now? Nah, I think that I have ruffled too many feathers and annoyed too many folks to feel comfortable. It's too bad, but that's the way it is. Besides, megadud is right. I smell.
-
eh, if I were sobr enough to give any kind of reply I would but the bottom line is,
You can fly on my side, no feathers ruffled, only because I don't have feathers, don't think so anyway.
can always use a vet scenario guy:aok
kfjfjddhh
-
Thanks doobs. I will fly for you. But I still smell. And some would say, I even stink, especially when it comes to my performance in scenarios.
But scotch cures all. Is the sign up page open?
EDIT: It is, and I registered. My love for this scenario overrode my misgivings (about myself).
-
eh, you still don't get it ;)
You Didn't ruffle any feathers. By your very interest in even bothering to discuss conditions, by your ability to push your viewpoint, to clarify your statement, by even bothering to pay attention to what is going on puts you as the Poster Boy for the "Elitist Snob" participants we are looking to recruit in the first place :D
The game wouldn't be worth playing if you didn't care about how it was played.
Glad you are joining the event.

It was not the Beta Frame. It was a test so we could make sure the plane sets actually worked together. IJN kicked arse though!

Registration Opened for the event, with Manual Additions for Team Zeke to occur as we have been discussing in here.
Currently, people have registered themselves to team zeke. Sorry for the confusion with this, however these players need to chose Team Alpha or Team Beta, as the slots for the Team Zeke were filled and while waiting for some registration information. These slots will need to be opened so the original team can fill it.

There is still plenty of slots available for the Primary Teams. Again, sorry for any confusion this has caused, but please go back and read why we are doing it this way.

Seems like my squadron's registered pilots are split half because of this "dont register/register now/u shouldnt have registered" farce. Now 2 of us are in Team Zeke and 2 are going to be left out :(
-
Blauk, sorry about the "Farce" I posted the list In Here as this is not a new conversation.
I'm sorry people registered to Zeke early. Let me ask you this, as I've had a couple of people reply to this via PM, and I'll ask the same thing. Which is "Fair" Cut the people who have been working on building the team or cut the people who signed up arbitrarily.
Answer that one for me. Someone is losing a slot. This whole discussion revolved around Preparation and Team Building for a specific outcome of the event. A great deal of time has been spent with Team Zeke building, talking, and configuring a team. Now, a few just registered, no communication, no discussion, no participation, which is how registration usually works but Not in this case, As Discussed Before. So again, I'll ask you, who should I cut?
-
Dear Sirs,
You cut who you see fit. Still when you bow to one direction, you should know what you are doing to the other.
IMHO, registering through the "official" registration system (at least that is what it used to be) is no less dedicated or less participating than writing PMs. People who register immediately when the registration opens ARE dedicated.
Command teams have often been built beforehand with PMs, but now even common pilot positions will be given filled that way?
This whole "registration" has been so confusing, discussions are spread over several boards and PMs. How should a common scenario player act from now on? Maybe there should be some more clear concepts or instructions for them in the future, especially when common procedures are unexpectedly changed.

You can give 2 seats back to some kicked-out pilots. We talked about this briefly with Jarsci. The reason we fly these scenarios is to be able to fly together with squaddies. We'll possibly register with some other team.
Remove:
"BlauK"
"Jarsci"
... do NOT add "RBug" or "Kaitsu" to their place!

Yours sincerely,

I'm fine with the idea of recruiting ahead of registration. But I'm a bit confused considering I was one of the ones that posted my info early on in this thread and I notice that people who posted after me aren't included in the list of those booted. I have to say that I don't like the fact that my name gets tossed around like someone who 'snuck' into registration after keeping up with the scenario registration concept from the beginning.
-
While it's nice to see so many people interested, I hope they recognize how much work and organization is involved in such a grand and popular event, and cut all of those involved in it some slack while this little wrinkle is ironed out.
-
Bodhi, you can remove KAntti from the team zeke as well.
-
Simple solution is to use all of this negative unproductive energy and find another 50 people to swell the Team Alpha and Team Beta teams, then we just add the extra 15 to Team Zeke and move on.
But, that would be productive, and positive. Funny thing about energy. Different grades produce different results.
-
well it looks like I'm still registered for team zeke so i guess I'm still playing. If there is something else I need to do to be MORE registered please let me know guys but tell me tomorrow as I'm quite dizzy from reading this thread.....:)

bizkit, did you get a PM from bohdi? i think he was PM'ing those that would be accepted. and no one is mad at the guys who jumped in, seeing as most of them had no idea about what was going on. it was to do with the fact that registration was opened for team zeke, even though it was full.
no one is mad, but we requested that those that were told they would fly team zeke would be able to. there may be 1 or 2 empty slots when eveyone finds out about schedules, i'm sure if you wanted it badly enough, you could grab a spot :)
