Title: wanted: large squads
Post by: captain1ma on April 24, 2012, 07:55:53 AM
are you part of a large squad and want to do something different? does your squad like to horde and win most the time? we are looking for you! join us for a AVA squad challenge. its is the best of 3 with your large group going up against the mediocre pilots of the AVA. we have some idea's that we would like to try and need some large squads to participate. Tuesday nights and Thursday nights are best for us. we want to try some new things and need your squads participation. if you're interested, leave us a note in here, or pm me and we'll get back to you with more details. more to come

Hmm...  I could ask the CJ's to see if they are willing to do another go.  More than a few of us had a blast the last time.  Let me drop a line on the CJ forum and see what they say. :aok

This sounds sort of cool.  Can you tell us more about how it works?

one night, 3 frames of different captures. base with planes only base with planes and gv's, base with gv's only. usually turns into a hoot

the last frame is a tank battle and its usually the best part of the whole thing!

Oh if you are REALLY into INTENSE gv action, that 3rd bit is where it's at. :rock


EDIT:  And I do have some nibbles on the CJ Forum.  If it's an all go, Flifast will probably post here to confirm if he doesn't PM you.  Or I'll be telling ye. :salute

Orders will be out soon.  I dropped the ball and was out fly fishing all day Monday. I'm hoping for 20 Claim Jumpers...but on this short notice (my bad) maybe 15 killers!

Tonight was extremely fun.  We had about 30 players for a good couple hours.  Thanks to the CJs & AvA regulars for showing up tonight.  What a blast! :rock :cheers:

Great action in a small area.

Flifast, I know you guys were looking for a more organized contest but we really didn't have time to put one together.

If you want to do that sometime, we'll come up with a battle plan in advance.

Yes please!  Roughly a year ago we had a go, with enemy icons off to boot.  Oh boy that was one hell of a show!  Everyone who showed up to that one, brought it up tonight.  The guys were having fun tonight, though they did keep asking me when the main event was gonna start.  :lol  Still don't know who took V14 at first... :headscratch:  Get with Fli and work out a good date so we both can have organized showing. :aok  If it's on Tuesday, I'll be there.  Thursday will probably be a no go for me as I work EARLY on Fridays.  I may be able to work it out though, but if we can get a go on Tuesday, that would be awesome. :x  The map is awesome and I had a blast tonight. :salute

Yeah, Tuesday is normally just informal night for staff to play with whoever shows up.

We didn't really know til today you guys were coming so we didn't have a plan, but we can put one together for a Tuesday or Thursday and set icons how you want them.

Yeah.  It was a bit out of the blue for us as well, or you would have seen more of us. :D  We still had a blast! :rock

Did someone say enemy icons off?!   :x

Yep!  At first some of the CJ's were against it back then, but after the event started and things got heated, they didn't stop talking about it for like a week. :D  They were talking about it tonight in fact, wondering if enemy icons would be turned off for the event. :lol  I've left a message on our forums about a more organized event within the month and hopefully we'll have another go, if the AvA Crew is willing that is. :salute  AvA Main's (Admins) will want to talk to unclkurt and/or Flifast about a proper time, as both of them can get the ball rolling when there is time. :rock  I just hope the date works out for me, so I can show up for all the awesomeness to be had. :x

I think the A v A guys got what they were after.  The main objective of the Claim Jumpers is "land Grab"!  Most players know their roles and a few of us flex to cover any weakness.  For the new guys that joined us on VOX...when the plans are given out....just listen and more than likely we will answer Q. In the brief.  We always ask any question after the brief...that's a great time to ask.  Even better if your real new (noob)...ask for a ride and watch the action!

That 109 is 1 tough plane to stick with in a pink Spit9 or P40 on the deck!  That was some of the most intense dog fights I've been in for some time! <S> everyone that played!
