Let's face it, war or no war, Aces High is a fertile landscape for commercial exploitation.
I therefore propose the following:
Plane-towed banner advertising!
Yes, the kind you see at the beach, towed by small piston-engined planes at speed not exceeding 55 mph. The banners would be paid for by various companies, and since this is the virtual world, the banner ads can be dynamic. Animations, move clips, whatever you want can be displayed on these ads as they are towed through the skies, above battlefields, EVEN THROUGH FURBALLS...
The planes will be vunlerable to fire from all sies of course, so the pilot will have to be careful, but the point will get across.
I see Hitech increasing its revenues by about 300% in the first month alone. Cigarette companies and liquor distilleries will be lining up.
Be warned, however, that I plan to take this idea outside of AH, so get on board now. I'm starting an empire, I am, and I'll take anybody who wants to come along!!

<-- Dibs on 'Burma Shave'!

:huh
OK this one needs to find himself back to the happy hut and fast!
-
IN!

:confused:

Hi neubob!
-
:huh

:confused:

This is not a bad idea at all. In fact maybe there are enough pilots with a personal stake to need to advertise....
I know I would want to advertise snapshotgirlz.com, the leading site for street photography. Sorry perv's, no adult content there. That's what I heard at least.
But getting a banner on a plane, must be worth at least 50 bucks a week.
-
All we need is more noobs to join Aces High. I used to play in purple when it was only 10-20 players now its like 30-50 with hoers.
plz, we do enough advertising.
-
Genius!
-
I used to play Anarchy Online, and there were real ads in-game. Movie trailers, soft drink ads, etc. Actually very clever.

Why not add billboards next to the runways??? I mean, seriously, who doesn't want to see this on take off...
'Head on over to your local honda dealer NOW for red hot deals on all new and pre-owned cars!'
I mean, hey, maybe even add some random ones floating on barges over the water for those sneaky sneaky NOE missions...
I'd love to see some traffic signs too over the country...
'For travel advisory tune your radio to 3280 AM when lights flash'

Friend – hummm – interesting proposition.
To help tip the scales towards a mutually favorable decision I'm sure you'd be willing to respond to some of our nagging concerns. So, by your leave sir:
1) Is your avatar donning a smart kefiyah with a bow, or is that a cat?
2) Does your motto "...god's gift..." etc. get you into any trouble with the locals?

Mr. Carraway?
1.) It's a cat.
2.) The locals are not aware of my internet prowess.

I've got a cat who's eagar for that job. Says after him, you'll never go back. Oh, and as for the apparent bondage thing.. he says that's a plus. :aok

How about on the town buildings instead. Just make sure they sign the disclaimer about no sign being visible when their building gets blown up. Noooooooo pro-rated discounts.
-
Its funny, the second i saw the name of the thread,
i knew it was a Slipknot original :rofl
-
Just use the hook on carrier aircraft for picking up and towing the banners. If someone gets on your six just retract your hook and let the banner foul their prop. :aok
-
I love slipknot! his wishes are the best and most original!
-
his wishes are the best and most original!
Original- Yes
Best - Ehhh :uhoh
-
Why stop at banners? Let's add brothel's to every base!!! :rock
-
Yeah, could be like a basball game where the players scratch their balls for an hour while I read the adds in an act of pure boredom.
-
:rofl :rofl :rofl Slipknot is an absolute genius.
I can't believe you all actually flip out on him, this is some of the funniest stuff I've read on here in ages. :rofl

"Simple minds, simple pleasures."

with such advertising potential I can see CT getting completed in 2 weeks.
-
Just thought of one other thing...
Why do we need tow planes? We've got an entire arsenal of dozens of planes!!
Just upload your banner ad, hook a banner onto any existing plane--an option in the hanger--and take off with banner in tow!
Bang! Instant dollars to you via your HT-powered ad-revenue affiliate program.
This idea is now officially ridiculously amazing.

Might as well add HUGE blimps with giant T.V. screens on them like you see at sporting events.

LOL The sponsors may not be ecstatic about their advertisement going down in a ball of flame after someone decides to shoot/bomb/bail onto/or HO the blimp...

EDIT: In anticipation, sorry Skuzzy :(
EDIT 2: Increased the size of the required round. Due to the vast number of posts of this nature, I decided it would be necessary.
EDIT 3: Sorry if I offend anyone by this, but I do feel that this is necessary.

I think if HTC did this, they ought to hire about 5 more programmers and coders so we can get dang near each and every aircraft we want in about 4 months, 'cept for the B29 of course.
Have one programmer deal with nothing but improving the GV realm (gameplay and more GV's).
Have one programmer deal with nothing but improving the bomber realm.
Have one programmer deal with nothng but stamping out bugs from any and all parts of the game...
and have 2 programmers deal with nothing but developing new aircraft for the game.
Heck yeah, I'd give $25 a month for that. Add in another $2000-$4000 a month in advertising revenue and we have ourselves a real progressive game that is constantly improving, not just every 6 mos or so.
