Sides were balanced, people didn't fly FSO tonight, unfortunately.

HoTard, here are the side assignments for this month for you to review.

http://ahevents.net/index.php/fso-view-side-assignments

You will see that the Allies were not able to meet their combined minimum attendance for Frame 3. They were 3 pilots under.

Sure the Axis was two over their maximum tonight, but do you really expect any squad leader to tell their friends that showed up tonight to not participate? That would be asinine.

Also, FSO isn't like scenarios used to be where the arena is locked well before the frame begins. There is no time to try to find players to switch sides 2 minutes before take off time because the attendance looks bad. Are you suggesting that we start having a fixed show up time well before take off time?

Perhaps you should be asking your team mates where they were tonight instead of blaming the event designers.

It was down in the 70s by FSO. Has nothing to do with it.

It was weird. At 10p CT it dropped from 127 to 72. Like someone hit a light switch. I didn’t even look, I recklessly assumed they went to fso.

Start of the new school year, family plans, work issues, health issues (older crowd of players), and other issues that happen at last minute.  Each player still believes turnout will be fine without them.  It's sad when too many miss out on the same night.

They must be in cahoots!!! FSO conspiracy.  "The Missing Pilots"

Complainers with no real ammunition to back up their outburst have no opinion worth anyone taking serious.  Obviously, you're not preaching the glory of Against the Odds and The Few.

You want to leave over a minor issue that happens due to a few players missing on one side that you're on.  Free country and your 15 bucks a month.

20 years plus of FSO history of player participation will continue with or without you.  We prefer for you to participate.  Instead of being a negative player for FSO, volunteer to help make it better.  Post ideas and get others to join in.

If ya can’t handle 2 or 3 to 1 you need SA practice. Running in a horde won’t give you that.
