this is pretty easy and only for the event. let me know what you guys think. this is what i came up with......
rules of engagement
1 no taunting flaming etc. violators will be ejected. no tolerance rule.
2 vulching--
Airbases--any plane on approach, wheels down, is off limits(if you're not on approach for landing, you're fair game!). if the base is being taken, any plane taking off is fair game. side capturing Must announce vulch light on. Vulching cannot commence until fighter hangers are down at a air base.
Vbases-- anything is fair game.
3. Hoing-- to be kept to a minimum. obvious violaters will be sternly notified, but nothing more then that.
-
Can you add no whining in public? That would be fantastic.
-
i cannot control peoples uncontrollable desire to whine on these boards, other then possibly sending them some cheese to go with it. oh well! :D
-
Great idea, Yeager! Just need to make sure to get cheap cheese to go with the cheap whine. :D
-
*scurries off to Wal Mart...
CHEESE as ordered sir!!!!

yes
2 vulching--

So I get on vox and tell you so-n-so shot at me when my wheels where down, so-n-so denies it. What are you going to do? No.
Vbases-- anything is fair game.
yes
3. Hoing-- to be kept to a minimum. obvious violaters will be sternly notified, but nothing more then that.
Same scenario as airbase vulching. I say the other guy did, he says I did it. Now what? No
These "rules" are not going to prevent drama or make the event more fun. With all due respect let's not spend more time trying to manage how people play the game (which you can't do anyways) than running the event.

actually trap i think most will respect the rules laid forth for this event and there really isn't anything to be concerned about. if we do get blatant violations, that can and will be dealt with at the time, but i really don't foresee any of these problems. this setup is going to be like the fso and i dont see people screwing around in there. these rules have been laid down between me and waystin . i am waiting for a pm to discuss the specifics and determine what will work and what wont. there will be some violations, we expect that, but for the most part it should be clean and nothing really to worry about. i just put these out for now, and hopefully we wont have any problems. if we do they can be dealt with at the time.
once waystin group lets us know how they feel, we can discuss and modify the terms. again shouldn't be a problem, this is a more "just in case" thing. basically if someone feels they can't abide by what we're proposing, no one is twisting their arm to fly it.
<edit>i plan on flying not managing, but if i have to, i will manage. right now i am planning for a really fun event and hopefully some growth in the AVA. the rules i propose are really pretty minor, and shouldn't be a big deal.
-
Rule one is good. The other two are just silly.

i suspect way is out teaching the rest of the squad how to ho, ram, pick, whine, vulch, and make really mean posts on the forums. :noid :devil :neener:

I want one of these to sit backwards on the fuselage and warn me of you six sneakers. Any chance we can get a reduced rate if we order a whole bunch of these, Dicho? Who wants one? :lol

Ya and I want my money back by the way sir. When you said he was and organ grinder I thought you meant he played one of those box thingies. I didn't know you meant he'd find all of the blunt objects in your house and try to .. umm never mind. Free monkey too good home and all.. Craigslist here I come..
-
Used to work with a guy who had a monkey. It was his wife's idea. The monkey had its' own room with a special latch on the door. Wasn't long before the monkey figured out how the latch worked. This guy comes home from work and the monkey had run loose in the house all day. Refrigerator door was open, milk all over the floor. Water was running in the bathtub. All the kitchen cupboards were open, breakfast cereal thrown all over the place. Cushions all ripped off the furniture, beds were a mess, broken dishes you name it. Last I heard he still has the monkey only it "sits" on his fireplace mantle. Never gives him any trouble though.

I had a pet like that once only I called it my 'wife'. Creating havoc, hate, discontent, and creating her own gravitational field with an ever expanding gluteus maximus, for someone else now I would imagine :D

HMMMM, poops in your shoes, eh? Maybe I could train the TM (Trunk Monkey) to do that pooping thing off the tail of the airplane while checking six for me.....could be a really nice distraction on your windshield. :O
P.S. Can't wait to see the Fedex truck pull up tomorrow.

everyone good with the rules?

Good here. Sorry for wandering off in the bar ditch. :aok

yes sir... good to go and I'm sorry for straying too :D

just one question.......i presume you know the rep. of the 80th? if by some chance i were able to convince them to do this......would our mass silliness and lack of coordination be acceptable?
-
Anyone who likes the basic setup, (no icons, dust storms, etc) is OK by me. The more the merrier. Bring em' on! :salute

i flew in there for a bit yesterday. something i noticed, is that it was almost easier to spot cons outside of icon range...which really makes no sense since there's no icons in there anyway.....
-

yes it would be. we'll take anyone, including you guys. but if i catch anyone with my sheep in their back seat :furious.....well lets just say it better not happen!
-
A question to the AVAR's, Pigs, and potential walk-ons as well...
What are the thoughts on dropping hangars, ords, dar, ack, etc? I thought we should get this out there, and get everyone's thoughts.
-
the way i see it, its like this. the object is to capture the other guys' base. in the case of an air base, you want to take out the town, but the other guy is on the defensive and ups every thing he can to defend the town and the base. the only way to gain air superiority is to kill fighter hanger, bomber hangers ords, ack etc. there is nothing sacred about taking the other guys property.
I've also re-thought the whole vulching thing. if you're trying to take the town and you have 2 guys cover the air base, vulching is going to happen. you'd be crazy not to. therefore this is my thought. Vulching is fair game if the guy is taking off or landing. i would say, if he's got his wheels down and is landing, give him a break cause there are no extra points for killing the guy. The civil thing to do is let him land. On take off and you're trying to take a base, all bets are off!

i agree with this. i'd say that vulching on landing is unnecessary, as you'll only speed up that pile-its return to the battle anyway.
as for vulching on takeoff? if it's moving, red, and you've got troops inbound.....it's fair game.

I have to admit that the vulching ROE was going to be a hard one to enforce even handed. I am glad we have this change. Mind you, in the MA's vulching is the sport of kings, but here it truly would be used as a tool to complete the task and not for padding a score. Score means nothing, fun means everything!!!

Thanks for agreeing fellows. I usually rank in the 150-250 range on a regular basis in the LWA's. The amazing thing is, I just attack the red guys every chance I get, without a worry as to what occurs in my score. The less I look at it, the better I do! Wierd, huh? Still trying to figure this one out. :headscratch:
I actually tried to get a great score for a few tours, and my overall rank started going up, and I noticed that my fun level started going down. :cry I will never go back to that style of play. :aok

I've kind of decided that I just don't have the inherent talent to be great, so it's never going to be about anything but fun for me.
In the past, I've tried to become more proficient in ACM etc, but when it starts to feel like work, forget it.

Me, too. Not that my score was going to stand out, but after about two weeks I noticed that I was getting very picky about engaging, was trying to land all my kills, and just generally was not flying the way I enjoy flying. Decided to stop looking at scores, and haven't looked back since.
- oldman (got the scores to prove it, too!)
-

I am a horrible braggart, but it is the case I have found as far as rank goes. So here is my low rank secret: kill the red guys where you find them, if the red guys won't fight, then blow up and take their stuff until they do fight you. Then start all over again! Guaranteed fun! Consequences be darned...

Scores? What scores? There are scores in here? :lol
Speaking of vulching; if anyone has a real addictive need to vulch, let me know on 200 and I'll spawn on the runway, engine off (to make it real easy), and give 'em 5 in a row to satisfy their need for a fix. It would be a pleasure to take a few for the team. :salute
-
hey, you're on my team, there will be none on that.....unless of course, there are sheep involved! :D
<edit> on another note, i was thinking, which is always a bad thing, whats everyone's thoughts on turning up that ack that night to MA or slight higher settings? im just thowing it out there!
-
Invitation accepted. As, far as the ack, maybe it's just me but, I seem to be able to attract lethal golden BBs from the current settings. :x I'm sure it's just my magnetic personality though. :salute
-
it doesnt need to change, im just throwing it out there to see what people think?
-
Regardless, I'll still get tagged by the stuff, even if they are using BB guns. :lol :salute
-
maybe that was one of the red guys that kept killing you when you werent looking? :O
-
Oh no, it was definitely flak BBs. Kinda like Dicho, it's Wow, where he come from? OK, I can do this...How'd he do that?!....followed by "oh crap"BOOM. :cry The flak BBs are much more subtle with that light tink, tink, tink, and then there's blood or oil or both all over the canopy. :rofl Sometimes it's just one of those days.
-
I am recommending ACK setting of .75 to 1.0. Currently at .25. The Pigs are quite used to working in a 1.0 environment so it really is up to you folks. Thoughts gentlemen?
-
the reason we keep it down in the AVA is to keep people from hiding in the ack. we can set it to whatever people are comfortable with, or just leave it. thoughts?

ya know one of my favorite things in the ava though?
i never see anyone try to hide in the ack. i've yet to see someone run from a fight.
now, i just need to get that current issue of penthouse planted in twizztys airplane, so he'll be distracted enough for me to pick him some more. :devil :aok

Ack in the AvA is a pointer. Ack is all seeing. It always points to the bad guys.
My opinion is to leave the lethality down. The auto spot on the enemy is benefit enough.
Another opinion, rules of engagement are nice ideas, but it should be "anything goes." Any ROE will lead to friction. For example, HO restrictions will lead to a debate on where "HO" stops and "front quarter shot" begins.
-
by the way cap, 38g in next weeks setup.
point taken rufus, however we will be asking people not to do it(hoing). we'd like to keep it as civilized as possible, knowing its going to happen. we just want to keep it to a minimum. this will only be for the AVA challenge. not a regular everyday thing.

coolness!! i'll make sure the 80th doods know. i got about 5 responses....all positive. any challenge that may occur with us though, would be just fun air battles though, as that's more fun..........see who can litter the landscape with more of their own parts kind of. :aok

cap1:

Since this is a base taking event instead of the usual AvA dogfight format I think the field ack should be turned up a bit. With current settings it's to easy for one guy to de-ack an entire airfield or town by himself. Let's make it a little more challenging.
-

I understand the encouragement not to hide in the Ack. I will tell you that I did a test pass through the enemy ack last night in a P-40E. In the regular MA's I should have been pinged all to hell. Not a scratch. If the Pigs come to take your ack with this setting, it will happen fairly easily without a lot of damage to ourselves. Of course it works both ways... I would recommend at least a bump to .5 to give some protection from air and ground attacks. Yep, I said Air & Ground. I am comfortable with whatever your decision is Captain.

HERE'S a question..............
well....a couple actually. we all know ack wasn't as deadly accurate in rl. can the laser sights be turned off, so it's a lil less accurate? do this along with turning up its lethality? and do these with allowing it to hit both friendly AND enemies once it's firing?
-

I think one of the CM's could answer this better, but I believe accuracy and hitting power are tied to the lethality setting we have been discussing. I am interested in the answer to this...

no, we do not have that ability. we only can mess with lethality. right now its set to .25.
on a side note, if you maintain 400knts, it barely touches you! :D
-
Can we just turn up ack lethality for Cap1 only? :D
-
CAP1 doesn't know it, but one of the rounds that went up his butt the other night was loaded with a GPS. all Ack will now automatically crank up to 2.0 and drill him, when he's around. that includes his own ack! :D
