Title: Wild Wednesday.
Post by: Rotorian on November 19, 2001, 10:50:00 PM
Yep, time for that good ole spam  :).  Rumor has it that super ace Lasz might attend.  On another note, Citabaria/Fester will not be attending to defend his crown.  This weeks plane is one of them dare bloooooooo planes.  F4-U1.  Come and join the fun be da man.

Oh, in case you have forgotten:

This event will take place in the Special Events Arena every Wednesday at 10 PM Eastern. It will last no more than 1 ½ hours.
The object of this event is to be the last man flying. This event is based on the popular event "KOTH" that was in Air Warrior. Everyone will be flying the same AC so no whining about "uber" aircraft. We will use the "Dueling Terrain" and fields 41, 42, and 43 till we design one specific for this event. The event will end when a pilot has won two rounds or when 1 ½ hours has passed, (which ever comes first). It is possible that the same pilot might win the first two rounds and the event could finish early, but that should be a rare occurrence. At the end of one and one half hours the logs will be closed if no one won two rounds and who ever has the best kills to death ratio will earn bragging rights and the choice of next weeks AC in Wild Wednesday. The only stipulation is the same AC can't be picked two weeks in a row and it must be a fighter, no buffs allowed. Results will be posted in the Special Events General BB that night or the next day.

Rules:

You must bail the moment you are out of ammo.
You must bail the moment you are out of fuel.
Rearms or refuels are not allowed.
Each round you only have "one life".
Fields will be close 5 minutes after the round started.
Kill shooter will be turned off 5 minutes after the round starts.
CM's will announce fields close and kill shooter off.
CM's will confirm the last plane up using the CM eye.
Settings:
Fuel - 1.5
Radar - Full enemy, full friendly
Dueling terrain and fields 41, 42, and 43 only
Icon range long
Sincerely,
Aces High Scenario Corps

Atta boy Rotor!!!   :D

I think there will be a new CM hosting this week.  I just might try my hand out at being a target drone for all of you WW'ers.   ;)

Hope we can get good numbers this week like we had last week.  We had over 40 last week for round 1.   :)

I've been assigned to run the WW event tomorrow night. Looking forward to it. If you haven't participated before, it's a real blast. The goal is to be the last man standing. Pretty simple huh?, hope to see some new faces there.

Got any F4U-1 tips?

I've tried it a bit in the last week, and it seems to be the sweetest of the Hogs.

Its what the D-11 jug is to the D-30 jug that Hog-1.

Only thing I dont like on that thing is the cage 'pit.. a bit hard to aim.

Man, sure wish TORQUE was here, he sure could swing a hog!

Darn it, I just realized I may not be able to make this one.  I will be at my FIL's for the holiday.  He has the horsepower (1.2gigTbird), but I am not sure if his videocard is up to the task (ATI128 yada yada yada).  I will download the game over there and see what happens.

Is it possible to start this event 2 hours earlier?

Would love to attend it but 4 oc in the morning is too late for me (and prolly for allot of other Euro guys)

 :(

So...how many of you Euro-type guys would show up if this event was run during a "more-friendly" Euro time slot?  Just checking.....

Post by: Seeker on November 23, 2001, 12:31:00 PM
I would definatly attend a Euro WW.
