Title: POLL: Does your squad rotate?
Post by: Dingy on March 13, 2001, 09:50:00 AM
Given the major arena imbalances of late, Im doing an informal poll of SQUADS with at least 5 pilots who rotate on a monthly basis.  So....

IF your squad rotates and has 5 or more pilots, please state which country you currently fly and which country you will rotate to next.  Also, if possible...how many pilots do you have online on average.

We rotate every tour.  Every time we have rotated, we have spent some time in the hole.  EVERY time.  Also, every time we've rotated, we've spent some time on the top of the hill.

BTW.. we are flying for Bish right now.  Last night was the first time I've seen the Bish with numbers.  Knits have had them so far.  On any given night, as many as 5 AKs are on.  Wew.. how we skew things.

=Twin Engined Devils= rotated from knits to rooks and then from rooks to bish.

Thinking of becoming permanent rook, have to consult squaddies.

MAG-33: 74 members(VMF-111,VMF-323,VMF-222,VMFA-212,VFM-115). Knits and we do not rotate.

Be glad we don't rotate, it might cause even a bigger imbalance at one point or another.

Come on now Deja....dont get defensive on me  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

This is a serious poll just so we can get an idea of which squads are rotating where.  Maybe...(just maybe  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)) a squad or two would be willing to change their rotation schedule IF (again just an IF  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)) there is data showing that a large proportion of squads are in a similar rotation schedule.

And this change in schedule WOULD NOT be dictated by anyone...its strictly a squads own decision.  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

So no need to get defensive (if you were) and I dont think any one squad can skew the numbers.

9./JG 54

6 of us and two resting members.

We do not betray Knightlandia!

If we did, we would surely upset the balance, so HTC have asked us not to.

Its not a squad NUTTZ. Just a group of squads that organize when we are online. Much like the we had in WB and purplandia with the JPC.

Ammo!  I offer you Beer (at the next con), and the ability cross-train and fly with myself and a few other Jug-Pigs.   (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

And MOL, same deal. <G>

I'll teach you guys all my secret Jug tricks!   (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)  (Most of which involve running away really fast.)

BTW, Pigs are Rook, and we don't rotate.

I might add that the most organized raids we've had to date only had 15 in the mission as well.

With all this ad-hoc rotating it's statistically possible for us to rotate to the same team.  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)

5th Guards Fighter Air Regiment

Formed during early beta as 129th Fighter Air Regiment in Rookland, but soon moved to Knights upon the suggestion of a squaddie - which was back when the number of Knights online was often in single digits.  Have been in horseheadland ever since.  And we generally number around 10, or so.
