FYI: We have voted (2 weeks ago)and majority ruled that we are off on a 'Good Will' tour to fight side by side with our enemy. The Country we are moving to is to be announced the day of the tour change as to not disrupt any arena balance there *may* be.
After tour 6, we will return home to Knit land for Tour 7, then Tour 8 will be off again for another "Round the AH" tour.
To knits, been a pleasure flying with you, go easy on us poor saps as we face the enemy front, you. We will be back next month, so keep the coffee pot warm, and don't clean out Santa's locker, he's been saving those old Playboys and Madonna pin-ups for old age!

"The Country we are moving to is to be announced the day of the tour change as to not disrupt any arena balance there *may* be."
Rip, You and your squad are free to do what you wish in the game but moving the largest squad to a different country "could" (and most likely will) be the biggest unbalancing act ever done in the game. When TWC moved from Rooks we took a lot of heat for it then we had to decide to we go back to Rook or stay a Knight.
Besides how will JG2 decide who to gangbang? (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif) <----- joking!

Well, at any given time during the day, I've never seen more than 15 squaddies up at one time in the 53 members we have, so I don't think we'll upset the balance that much.
<S> MOX!
-
LOL, so the 99% of the knights are moving to a different country...
Great news, we were looking for an only two countries arena from the beginning (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

Excellent news! More targets! hehehe

Is Healy, Alaska the place noted for all of it's bars?

I feel obligated to advise JG2 that Ripsnort is wanted by the Rook International Court for offenses he committed on or about June 4, 2000, in and around Base #27. At that time he commanded Zug Ripsnort which was responsible for leveling not only the base but the surrounding communities, with no regard for the existing civilian population.
Please be governed accordingly when you make the switch.
Im sorry Ripsnort, I wish there was something more that I could do. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

Not that I know of Swager (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif) Only 2 here yer round, about 5 to 10 more in summer during tourist season. Maybe you are thinking of Anchorage, Alaska where I lived for some time. It has the world famous (used to be) Great Alaska Bush Company(strip club)and Chilkoot Charlies(the best bar in AK as far as I'm concerned)and a bunch of others. Don't really know of an Alaskan city famous for their bars. Course I don't get out of AK much either so I really don't know what the rest of ya are thinking down there hehe.

It has been fun flying with you Ripsnort and the rest of JG2. (At least you are only taking a one month vacation from the knights. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif) )
(Hmmm, it sure would be fun to fly WITH the 357th rather than against them all the time. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif) )

Hey Creamo, don't go away mad, just go away. I'm sure there's a place for you over on AGW.
<S> to the rest of the FDB's, you guys are a lot of fun. Why you put up with Creamo in your squad is beyond me.
-
We will announce what country we fly for the day of tour change, the announcement will be made with fire from cannons.
Creamo, I respect alot of folks within the 'Fat Drunk Bastards', I hope one day that our two squads will have the opportunity to fly together.And for the record, we've had 1 person quit AH due to their dislike of the F4U-1C and 1 person 'give it a rest' until V1.03. The rest (about 5)left to form other squadrons or to drop AH for school, family life, etc.

LOL War (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif) . The country that 'recieves' JG2 should prolly shed a sqaud to at least try to balance things. Besides, i enjoy my encounters with the JG2, you know your up against some great pilots. Then again, i would luv to wing with saw sometime. (came close once, I had a truce with the knights one evening a month back or so to co-operatively rid the rooks from the sector. Only winged with them for a sortie, and i had to keep ensuring no knight 'not in the know' dinnae shoot me down 'by accident' - was very interesting.
I've flown for rooks, and bishs, but never really for the nits.

I do not like the idea. You are free to do whatever, that is game, but for a balance sake I will switch to nits till you are back. I think some other people will do the same. I love the game, not the massaqre.

Fariz,
Ya, we wouldn't want it to be like the Rooks and Bish ganging Knights lately now would we! Hehe, 5 times I logged on last week, every night there were 0 fites between Rooks and Bish, and lotsa fights with Knights fighting a two-front war. We have the man-power to change that!
Won't be any massacre like you think, at any given time, you'll never find more than 10-15 JG2 online at once(and I only saw this once), historically speaking, because we are two squarons, flying different time zones.
On an average its usually 5-6 of us. NO worries there mate!

Rip, I has nothing personal against JG2, it is just another squad for me, may be bigger and sometime more organized than many others. It has several good pilots; from the other hand the average level of JG2 pilots is slightly bellow average, may be I am wrong but it is how it seems.
But ballance is the issue. All who flied for more than one side knows that it is difficult to fight your mates when you switch, so even if 10 of you online it will create additional constant push against the 3rd country, and thus will switch the ballance.
I never flied for countries but bishs for longer than 2 days, but seems I will need to do it. Again, nothing personal, I do not take your switch as an offence or whatever, but I always tried to do this game more or less fair.

Could you address the 2nd part of my question in the above post...the fairness issue whereas 2 countries are pummeling 1 with no battles between the 2 agressors? Doesn't appear to be any problem when theres 80 vs 40.. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
As far as pilot quality, the only way to test your theory of 'less than avg' is dueling. And theres a ladder for that. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
I, on the other hand, do qualify as avg. or even less than avg. in my opinion.

Believe it or not, I enjoy being called "slightly below average".
That way when I blow someone's bellybutton out of the air, they know it's been done by a "below average" pilot!
Adds to the excitement!! (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
But never would I come out in an open forum and call a majority of a squad's pilots "below average" Regardless of how good I am, or think I am!!
Maybe someday I can be obnoxious enough to say that!! Actually even if I did become quite good at this Sim, I still don't think I have the type of character that feels comfortable about insulting the performance of a majority of a squadron's pilots.
Just seems to cocky to me! Ah Well! To each his own!!
Have a nice day!! (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

One more thing, Fariz, you're perception may be distorted by the fact that 90% of JG2 personal participate in mission-oriented sorites, thus making sacrifices (low level jabos, easy meat for folks flying high like yourself) and most fly different types of A/C.
One of the first words out of a JG2 pilots mouth when he logs on is usually "Where are you guys at and what do you need?"....
No score mongering, alt monkeys here... (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif) Well, maybe a couple! (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif) (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)
I kinda see JG2 as "An expert at nothing, but really good at everything..."

Fariz,
you think jg2 is below average? You are an idiot then. I hope you dont become a knight because I would not want to fly with such an ignorant person as yourself. And I'm not even in JG2, I just respect them as one of the best squads in the game, as you should.

At first I thought Von Swager was going to finish that by saying something like.....wearing women's clothes. At which I was going to have to argue with him. I've seen him in a skirt and heels, and not only does he look comfortable, he looks damn good as well!!
Hell, he makes me look downright pathetic in my Tutu!! I say, be comfortable Swager, you have the legs to pull it off! (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

Seems I will be hunted down by "the biggest squad in AH" (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif) I know, they will develop the special kind of mission, "seek and destroy fariz", hehe.
All that replies reminds me of an old story, when one guy published in the newspaper that "half of our polititions are a bad people", for what he was badly critisized, and forced to write retraction, so he wrote "half of our polititions are good people", and everyone was happy.
Rip, I know that you read my reply in other thread, where I explained why I do not join ladder. I am surprise to read your replic here.
Zig, I am never insulted when someone calls me "idiot", because I am not. I also normally do not reply when someone try to insult me because I believe that your words says about you more, than about me.
I also a bit surprised with the negative responces on the post. I do consider myself as an expirienced but nothing than average pilot, may be except gunning where I got a very good results. If JG2 pilots consider themselve offended by what I said, I am ready to say sorry for mentioning it. I used to say what I think, but if you take it as insult, I will note for myself for future do not discuss any matters conserning JG2.
I won't post anything in this thread anymore, for me this topic is closed,

Not that I agree with any of it... because I don't. But can someone tell me the difference between calling pilots inferior because of the squad they fly with, and calling pilots inferior because of the nationality of the plane they choose to fly? A whole lotta horse patoohy - much of it hypocritical it turns out. But these threads sure have been amusing (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

Thanks Cobra, for the positive thoughts! (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
I always I thought I looked below average in a dress!!
But if you tell me I look below average, don't worry, I understand I shouldn't take that as an insult!

Fariz, I spoke with you via email, and forgot to mention that JG2 does not partake in 'Hunting people down' due to the fact that most I believe have an understanding of freedom of speech, to say whatever they feel is appropiate, something that your country did not have the privelege of doing so until within the last 10 years or so.
Everyone is entitled to his or her own opinion, and I respect you for yours.
Cya's up!

Have fun Ripsnort and all of JG2. Dang, gonna miss you guys. Plezzz gangbang the other country, whomever the unlucky sots might be.
But if ya gotta attack my buff, plezzz attack from medium to low speeds from directly my 6. The 190's do smoke and blow up so nice, LOL
God, I wish this was a two front fight. I allways been a Knit since the beta. Gonna stay, even though sonetines my 6 just herts soooo baddddd, hehe. Someday I may get tired of this situation and just do H2H, not anytime soon though, trivia.
And concerning that guy who made the comments about JG2 being below average. DUDE, HAVE A CLUE!!! Man, that was a toejamty thing to post. Prolly a little kid, like 12yrs old or sometine, don't mean nuthen!

Been flying Rook for a few days now! It is so strange see names in green that were, in my case, guys that have always shot me down! I see a text line from host: "Field A33 captured by the Rooks"! I have to remember to give a "WTG Rooks!!"
A squadmate of mine said he had to restrain himself not to type, "WTG Knights" when he seen they captured a field! (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/eek.gif)
I still get nervous seeing Sundog and JimBear above me! (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
Rooks are fun to fly with and things are going smoothly. JG2 is settling in quite nicely. I am having fun!
Thanks to the Rooks who have made us feel welcome in our new home.
And, well as always salute to the Knights just for being there!
Ah! What the hell! Salute to the Bishops because we are all of the same mold!!! (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

Hmm, Swager's not of the German High Command mold with all his diplomacy, will have to call my friend in the SS and see if he can change that man! I'll give him good advice regarding the Swager case, Bend him, but don't break his spirit! <Ripsnort Clicks heals, spins around, leaves room with nothing but the stench of the cigar that was clenched in his teeth!>
On a serious note,Copy that swager, had some good missions with Rooks, great bunch of guys, like everyone in AH!<S>
