Salute all!!!!
Go check the special events announcement section!!!!
There will finally be a squad based only event series coming up! See how your squad measures up in the new Tour of Duty!!!
Again Your Scenerio Team brings something new and exciting to Aces High.
For those wanting more than the shoot em down Main Arena be sure to check out the other events being held in the Special Events Arena. Every week there are Snapshots on Friday and Saturday and Every Sunday come play in the Check 6 event. These will continue to get better each release as HTC continues to fill out our planeset. These events are held as Axis/Allies as much as possible as our planesets will allow right now. Every possible attempt is made to make it as fun as possible for all that show up.
COME JOIN THE FUN!!!
Salute!

TOD sounds great, squad notified, count VMF-323 in, should be fun!

Sounds great, but I'm not in a squad.
If there's a squad out there that could use an extra member for these ToD events, send me an e-mail! (edit ott@ipa.net) I'm not nearly the best pilot out there, but I do make a decent wingman, if I do say so myself. And since these events are going to be on Fri nights, I should be able to attend most all of them. (and I've never failed to notify my CO/GL/whatever in advance if I can't show up for a frame of something)
But just to be clear, I'm NOT interested in joining an MA squad (I don't like the MA). However, if I was to join an event squad, I'd be more than willing to spend most of my MA time flying and practicing with them.
It would be a shame for me to have to miss out.

Hey Anarky, My Squad won't be doing this (most of 'em have some kind of WB trauma), so if you want to set a temp thing up, I'll go for it...

I sure wouldn't mind joining up, but starting anything is a little beyond me right now.

this sounds freaking awesome, i hope assasins are participating
-
one thing tho: right now im at home and a loser just workin for my dad and not going out or anything so i dont care its on friday nights. but in the future ill be back at school and goin out on weekends, mabye consideration could be made for us young guys who really should be going out weekends? having a semi mandatory event on friday nights might exclude alot of us young'uns. something like monday-wednesday night might be better?
-
I see your point, Zig, but what about us Euros?....
-
Hmmm, love to be part of this, but I ain't in a MA squad nor will I likely ever be - something about my showering habits.
Any squads out there want an obnoxious tiffie pilot?
-
i doubt euros would be playing at 5 am local time anyways anyways
i stay up late often for aces high, but i dont think it has ever made me get up early! :)

The TOD is a weekend only thing?
Count me out then, I barely made this past Saturday's Rumble. :(
The only time I get to fly is monday through thursday, otherwise I'm not even at home.

Right now the TOD will run Friday nights. This is a start up thing. Once up and running smoothly there may be a second TOD added for European squadrons possibly taking the place of the Sat. Snapshots.
Also being part of a MA squadron is not mandatory TOD. Squads can be formed with players just wanting to take part of the TOD for the SEA arena. Or hopefully MA squads will accept some outside membership for the TOD in the SEA only.
SeaWulfe I feel your pain bro. The problem is the largest #s flying is Friday night. The idea has been discussed of moving the displaced snapshots to early or mid-week to make up for the guys/gals that can't make a Friday night event.
Hope this helps ;)
S!

Thanks anyway Rocket, you guys are doing a great job.
I look forward to future snap shots or check 6 events during the week nights, maybe I can actually get a chance to fly more of them than I do right now. ;)

Rocket, you may be making a demographic mistake by sticking to the hi usage period.
Judging from AW's experience, during the hi usage periods, the relativly stable base line arena occupation is bloated by "quick fixers" grabbing their weekly 2 hour casual fix. During these high occupation times the arenas become busy enough for strat systems to start taking effect, and subsequently the MA becomes more interesting for the "hard core" player too.
Quiet times, by contrast, are usualy shored up by dedicated fliers, who are often more than ready for a change of pace *and* are the types to specificaly put aside time and make dairy enteries for AH events.
The empirical proof of this is that you can surprise yourself by setting up an event on a "dull time" and still get 70% of your projected enlistment, whilst you can scream and shout on Ch.1 on a Friday night to advertise an event and still only get 80% of your target.
At least that's been our experience over the last decade or so in brand "AW" (R.I.P.)
-
Just sayin' that *I* appreciate any events on weeknights, because weekend afternoon events are out for me.

:( I was wondering why I've only seen you for one event since I've started going to them.
Personally, I don't mind giving up Friday nights to flying. There is still another weekend night available for other activities! :D

Exile has done a great job on the sign up page. CM's are giving it a test run now. :) I should be posting it in a few days.
It is likely in the future I will add a Snapshot to a weeknight, (Monday - Thursday). Just depends on CM work load.

I love the events Nifty, but it's kind of a toss up between that or going out and having a good time. I mean, both are a good time but during the summer I spend most of my "free" time out of the house.
Sometimes I make certain events, I would like to make more but I can see that won't happen for another few months. :(
S! Nifty, see you in the virtual skies.
