A reminder to the invited for participation and the visitors watching that the 2019 KOTH TOC is this weekend.
I can also announce that the TOC winner will get a free month of Aces High. :banana: :aok

Just a bit over 48 hours until the 2019 KOTH TOC. Should be great fun participating or watching.

I'm excited! Feeling good today. Really hope a good group shows up today.  :airplane: :joystick:

Definitely come swing in and check out some good fights today. There can be a lot to learn by watching KOTH.

Tell you what, lets start a conversation on it. As I always say if the majority of people want KOTH with no or low range icons we can do, or at least try it.
You do still see who's close by looking at message window and seeing who's on range, but that's not precise.

One thing that makes me sort of against it is KOTH was, at least as far as I thought, sort of for the masses that fly in the main arena, melee arena, the latest name for it, and most arena settings are similar to that. For example, that's why we use Fuel Burn of 2.0. Same as main and if it changed there I'd consider it in KOTH.
I think it would discourage newer players more than experienced ones too and every new face in KOTH is a good one.

Again if I could have anything it would be for old in tower range channel. There were so many good conversations { informational, tutorial, social, and disciplinary as KOTH players monitor each other } on it and that whole aspect is gone. It's also driven people, probably not as much as I think it does I'll admit, to use third party communication software. And again IMO, 3rd party coms and KOTH do not go well together. In reality they are most likely just more prolific and work better and have developed more than way back then  :old:

And TwinBoom, thanks for this post. Back in my coconut I wanted to open something like this from your post in, was it , "how have we lost so many people..."
If you've flown in KOTH before and don't now, why not? What would make you come back?

My first experience in Koth yesterday and was an observer only. Before I knew it 90min was gone. Found it to be a great tutorial. Great to watch these guys fight without me getting killed like in the MA. I filmed the last fight in 110's but the film plays wonky . Anyway an overall good time.

Turt, glad you enjoyed it. I was a spectator too and had fun.
Spectating was more involved with old range channel where you could chat more and not be distractive.
