It has been brought to my attention on many levels that the game itself is becoming "less" enjoyable for some, therefore leading to the urge to join a squad. But, what makes flying with a squad so fun? My answer to this, theoretically speaking of course: being able to fly with people you enjoy flying with, not having to fly into a sea of red alone with worries of if the greenies in range will help you if needed, creating a bond with a group of guys ( or gals [Flossy, Peppr, Betty, etc etc] ) that could carry into the real world. . .I stated those reasons because those were some of the reasons I joined a squad or created a squad even.
With that all being said, why not make the game a little more enjoyable whilst flying with your squadron. My solution? Join the Squad Dueling League (SDL). I have talked to a few Squadron Commanders about joining the SDL and as of right now we have 4 active squadrons who are willing to participate. But you know what they say, the more the merrier. The more squadrons to join in the SDL the more fun produced from the League itself. I for one know the game isn't anywhere how it used to be and I genuinely believe that with re-opening SDL it will bring increase the enjoyment level if not encourage more pilots to join a squad once they see how much fun we are having.
Sure squads have FSO, but FSO is long and drawn out. It could be fun, but a good ole' fashion 6 v 6 would definitely get your blood pumping with excitement.
If you have any interest in joining the SDL please contact myself (as I am attempting to get the SDL back up and running).
Things to remember :
- It is for fun, sure bragging rights of being the "best" squad in AHII would be awesome, but the ultimate goal is to have fun
- You can't lose anything in joining, except maybe some boredom
- You are required to have 6 members (at least) in your squad in order to participate
:old:
For more information private message me or comment below and I will get your question answered and if I can't I will definitely find an answer. . . :cheers:

IMHO there are many great things about being in a squad but the best thing about a good squad is knowing your squaddie will bypass an easy kill to clear your six. If he won't your in the wrong squad.

When does the SDL events take place? The Wolfpack may be interested. Can you provide more information via a link or otherwise?
Umschuldegun - Tscuess!

I did PM deadstick about what needs to happen to get this up and running again but it seems there is enough interest to get a few matches going.
I started work on a map this morning that will facilitate a fair and equal battle without the hassle of forming up and straggler issues. I envisage matches either being hosted in a custom room or if I'm notified far enough in advance, the sea arena with logs.
If interested and you have a squad that can put up 4-6 players leave your names in this thread and I'll add them to the SDL private forum.

I have talked to a few squadron CO's already Bruv, I will PM you those squadron commanders and squadron names that I have talked to.
There are a lot of new rising squads (I looked at the Top Squad Ranks) in the light they may want to take place in this. They just don't know how to get involved which is what I have been talking to them about in-game.
:cheers:
Things are looking semi-good ! :O

What if I don't like my squads? :huh

Bruv/Ghost,
If you could provide the details I will pitch it to the squad. I think the Wolfpack can be competitive and add positively to this event.

I have granted you Access to both the relevant forums, You can read the rule set which will be trimmed down a bit seeing as we won't have to use the DA canyons and all fights will be air spawned and straight into the merge.

Thanks.
I am looking for the post (singular) looking for the rules/prerequisites for participating. Not trying to nitpick, but it would be easier for a newbie CO like me. The five "W's"....
I see my old friend James "Daddog" Glasier started this thing. Good man.

there is a sticky, Squad Dueling League Rules and Guidelines
I have just posted a revised set of Draft rules. See what you think of them. This really is an event where we can all have a say in what takes place for the increased enjoyment of all involved and let's not forget the guaranteed adrenaline pumping action!! :O
I've lowered the minimum requirement to 4 but we still have the scope to go higher than that if we have the players.

LOL @ this stalker. First he uses "theFew" as a FB name, then he uses "Bruv119" as a steam name, Then it was "Kazaa" as a AH name and now he stole an old squad name and made himself the CO. LOL @ you. Poor pathetic little child.

are you saying ghostcdb / fuzion / ratio isn't the valid C.O of JG52 Bipolar?
According to the stats pages he is. :D

For the 20-billionth time, NOBODY (IE: an individual) owns or has any exclusive right to a squad name in Aces High! *throws the petition clipboard at Bips face*

I will never play in another SDL. some of the squads will do their best to bypass some of the rules to get an advantage. while they technically wont violate the rules, they violate the spirit of having equal altitude and E and let the player skill/luck decide.
last time I played we had a squad climb to 10k then dove and merged at the pre-selected altitude of 6k. we all got killed as they were easily able to climb above us and pick us one at a time. I quit in disgust and never played again.

Too many egos IN Ah to make SDL work will fail like last time.

if they avoided the rules when it was free, what do you think they will do if money is involved?

I am thinking for the cash event, players will have to record their flight and submit it for review after matches. No film will be a DQ.

Relax guys, there is no intend to make it an over competitive event, what about you grab some of your friend and have some fun with us? That's what it really is about.
nobody can compete with the few anyway

On a side note, last time my 190 came across the few, I was simply torn apart by tilt, thrila, and bruv :uhoh
I may have my revenge :banana:

If you take some time to read the new rules and setup, all of the above will be corrected.
All matches will also have an impartial umpire/host.
Lets also remember the previous SDL had about 80 matches with only 3 that had any sort of drama. We can only learn from past mistakes all I ask is people give this a fair chance.

I'm sure T.E.Moore would be very proud of how you conduct yourself. I doubt if he would say anything about how some one you know in an online game conducts himself. My dad has passed also and I miss him every day. Its been 18 years now. Should I ever have the privilege of seeing him somewhere again, I don't want the first thing he says to me to be, "What's wrong with you?"
