Thank you!
I don't think thursday is a problem at all. So go ahead, play it on the setup you guys had originally planned! It's the night ppl arrive to meeting and flying has always been pretty secondary to changing news, having sauna and a few beers etc. So the factual flying nights will be the friday and saturday.
Main Arena will be the main attraction though (in AvA without organized activity we would propably have to fly against each others whereas huge missions in MA is the salt many participants want for their weekend). I fear that even if we had the "arena" people would soon lose interest without some organized activity. So I have to correct my own thinking and expectations as well. The arena itself might not satisfy peoples need for co-operative action like capturing the bases etc.
But still! We need AvA in order to have something different in the menu! I just talked to Sasmox (sends his greetings!) and he suggested we ask if someone would even be willing to run a snapshot scenario for us on one of the nights! That would be so great. Talked to many of the people coming to meeting and they think a snapshot kind of event would be just what we need. So if some of ya guys with experience and rights to organize snapshots would rise and fly with us this snapshot, we would be so grateful. This might even be a perfect change to start a new tradition of annual Virrat snapshot etc.
The setup 2 looks good with latter additions!
Hope to hear from you guys soon, after which its time to start advertising for the big "Turpasauna"*
Let's talk about the hours and specifics if this becomes a possibility.
