Title: JG54 is stepping down
Post by: storch on March 17, 2008, 10:00:18 AM
we are going to play both teams to balance numbers.  we are changing our squad name to reflect what we now (yes I know, you some you think what we always were) are.

we will fly allied for the most the part in order to attempt to bring some sort of unit cohesion to those pitiable fools.  if they won't come along we will succeed without them (oh lord I'm feel nauseous already).

we are now the sideswitching spytards.

staff please remove us from the axis forum

axis will need to select a new CO as TK will be with us on this as well.  he has already announced his resignation.

I ask the AvA staff for a small consideration if you will kindly grant it, please enable the F4U-1 or 1A as we would like this to be our squadron ride while we are TDY to the allied team.

one of us may elect to run for allied CO in which case the squadron will opt for allied only participation and ask to be admitted to allied forum but for the moment we remain unaffiliated and will serve in the capacity of a side balancing team.

as much as we dislike this move we feel it is for the betterment of the AvA.

 :huh How convenient. Now, illustrate how this "helps" the AvA ... especially given prior claims to a strong Axis presense having done so (which I support more than this nancyness). :D

Present!  :t

And just to keep my thoughts on this on the radar scope, here's what I posted in the Allied forum:

Title

"So ... JG54 goes melodramatic"

They basically surrendered under the pressure of critisism. We have no enemy in the AvA. As much as this doesn't impress me on their part ... I'm not very happy with our part in giving them a convenient excuse to weenie out.

I'm not gonna let this ruin my fun, though. As dedicated as I've been to the AvA, I'll fly Corsairs in the MA everyday. Never thought I'd ever be saying that.

gladly, I don't believe VF27 will gel into what was hoped for.  currently there are no decent fights in the arena.  if within the next two weeks VF27 does indeed become a coherent squadron we will gladly shower, wipe ourselves clean of allied scum and resume the mantle of lords of the dark side reclaiming JG54.  we decided not to sully the proud name by flying allied as a squad in JG54 livery.  this is the first time we do this as a squad in our proud and long AvA/CT history.  drastic times however do require drastic measure we have chosen to place the arena above self.

you guys have two weeks or we shall remain palladins forever.

do your best son   :D

Well you waited a whole 2 weeks (and not in HTC time) to come to that "final" conclusion. You're making excuses to cave into your fear and insecurity. Get back over on your side and fight. :D

Post by: Shifty on March 17, 2008, 10:13:01 AM
Your squad, your choice. Personally I don't think retiring the Green Hearts is good for the AVA, or the war effort for the Allies. Let's face it you don't need to change, we do. Disbanding JG-54 is not a plus for the AVA in my book.

Then again nobody buys my book. :D

Seriously I hope you guys reconsider.

I agree with Shifty. Stay as JG54, if the allies cant get their act together thats not your responsibility to fix.

It will ruin your fun because you had us and JG11 and JG77 to fight against.  we only had you to fight against.  you guys suck.  we want to fight good players too!!!  we are getting soft whipping your easy tulips all day long!!!  we need a challenge or we will lose our edge.  aside from that the arena needs it!!!  the current situation where the allied team is merely a doormat for our jackboots will not stand sir, it will not!!

Seriously. Stop it. We all love you now and we want you just the way you are (were). We totally respect you and admire you. Without you we are nothing. With you we are just above nothing. Grey planes are slimming. Luftwaffe uniforms make you look taller.

Arlo we have been talking about going allied for a long time. We arent disbanning JG54 I think its just a temp. name change.  It wont last long, once we get you allies working together our job will be done. Axis worked for sheep I bet the allies will to. :aok

Ok ... on second thought ... this can be a great opportunity for AvA pilots of various persuasions to get to know each other better and soothe tension. And yes, there's plenty of Allied pilots that could use some advanced technique training. As such, it seems obvious you guys are better qualified right now than I to provide it. As everyone probably knows by now I'm working on reviving VF-17 and ... well ... much of that involves flying the F4U ... and well ... again ... it's just not in the AvA that much. So you're providing me an opportunity to focus on VF-17.

I'll pop in time to time to fly a sortie and pat everyone on the back for getting along so well in the AvA peacetime.

I disagree Arlo, the Allies should sink or swim on our own merits. The BEST thing JG54 can do to help the Allies is to remain as our opposition, not hold our hands like a bunch of two week n00bs. They have a big jump on us when it comes to coordination and execution of their missions, but we will close the gap.

Lowe was killed by Storch as he tried to defect to the Allies years ago. His body lies rotting in the bogs just outside the JG54 airfield. The closet thing you're going to find is an old fart with bad eyesight and questionable decision making named Shifty. ;)

6 rounds? though their was only 5.

A total of 9 rounds have been played since the start of the 'AvA' war.  We are currently in the tenth round, but it has not finished yet. 

Axis lost the first two rounds of the 'first' war.  They also lost during the 'admin' round...

JG11 retires at (6 -1).  We missed frst 2 weeks.

#1)  Partial Mash for now, but working my way to all grain.  Seems easier and less costly in the long run.  I even have an empty gas fitting for a burner in my basement.  Just getting more equipment piece by piece.

#2)  I'm not English,  I'm German and Bavarians like their weiss bier mit hef.  But I did come up with a wicked stout  (secondary fermented with oak cubes and a vanilla bean)  and a traditional Red Ale.  In addition, my basement is almost perfect temp for lager yeast all year 'round.  I actually have to wrap the carboy(s) in a blanket to get it above 65.

Title: Re: JG54 is stepping down
Post by: TheBug on March 18, 2008, 05:20:50 PM
Just into partial mash myself.  Plan on going all-grain hopefully by the end of summer.

I'm a big fan of India Pale Ale, got a Stone IPA clone that is just wrapping up the bottle conditioning phase.  It's good stuff :-)

Gonna make an American Pale Ale(warrior hops) this upcoming long weekend.  Having a lot of fun and learning a bunch. 

I've got a spare freezer and once I get a digital temperature controller for it I'm going to look into giving lagers a try.

<S> and enjoy that homebrew.
