We need to have a bloopers moment of FSO. Just like the other night with friendly collision on the runway. :rofl

Correct me on this. Was there a PTO event when everybody that took off on the run way ended up sliding off it backwards? I think that happen years ago.

I think the worst one was a few years back. The setup had a GV portion where both sides tried to capture a base. The capture won the war and reset the map.

Yeah, that was awful. Not the reset, but the forced GV-ing.

VF-17 had a blast in the one that had gvs available after T+60 for all the people that got shot down. But I can imagine being stuck in tanks. We were lucky we never got assigned go gvs in FSO.

Yeah, optional GV's after T+60 is fine, but the one that was reset had a mandatory GV portion - I know because I was in a SDKfz 251 when the reset happened.

Guys, I think there is a problem with the arena. We all know missions won't work. When I got the call I switched the arena settings for collisions. I then got a call that didn't work so I switched back and everyone was able to take off. Also, in my defense Mystic2 was setup. As a courtesy, CM's will come into the arena and look over settings. As I was doing that, Mystic discoed, then he discoed, then he discoed and couldn't get back in...So, I inherited Setup about 15 minutes before launch. Sorry about the hiccup but it was me or nothing running the event.

No problem. It was sorted out reasonably well and we appreciate the efforts you made.

No worries plissken, only reason I was quickly/trying to quickly send you those heads up, was because you was the only CM that I had seen using the 903/904 text channels
Great job jumping in filling in for Mystic, when his connection/disco issues happened
:salute & :cheers:

You have no idea how much I appreciate those private messages. When we are setup we are at a quite field away from the action (Some Setups actually stay Rook). So I am looking at the clipboard. The only way I know what is happening to you guys is with your PMs. Big <S>.

You are right. Maybe that did read a little defensive. What I really want to say is Thank You FSO Squads and players! That is the stressful times, when something is broken. Still, the private messages when a glitch happens helps us tremendously. :cheers:

Plissken,
Your work was/is most appreciated! We had some folks that were also having disco issues just prior to start...the hiccup didn't really surprise us.
Carry on!

I think most of us thought it was funny. I was already a couple beers in so it might not have been as funny as it seemed.
I laughed more at this than the 56th getting wiped in our fancy Il-2's!!!! :uhoh Happened about the same speed...
Boom, what was that. Boom. I'm dead too. Anyone need a gunner? We're all dead... :headscratch:

Several years ago VF-17 was tasked to bomb a city strat in B-17s. As it happened our bomb accuracy was damn near perfect and we wiped it out with no losses to our buffs. Turns out, through a navigation/communication error, we hit the wrong target.
It has become a running joke in VF-17 every time we get buffs we have to make sure not to bomb the orphanage again.

There was also a classic where fully loaded TBMs were taking off from a carrier and 30 of them went into the drink. That was on youtube for a while.

how about the one where someone dropped a bomb on the end of the runway and wiped out an entire squad?

Wow!
About six, seven years ago in a scenario event (MTO), a flight of Ju-88 flew into a wall of....the sea. It just appears infront of them. They all pull up thinking they were diving but you can imagine what happen.

I remember that. Terrain glitch when they were looking for hiding ships.

I remember being on the runway once as everyone was spawning in. Someone 'accidentally'(more like drunkenly) launched a rocket. I was fortunate enough to position myself on the right side of the runway. I just heard a big boom, looked over and 1/2 the squad was gone. It was hilarious.
