Naw, no fists yet, Slash.........
Seems to me that BUG and Crummp ought to just go back to the DA and settle it. Take an observer in and BOTH participants turn their film ON from the time they log in til they finish duelling.
Same with the other verbal combatants......cept, I'm putting my money on Eagler. He makes that "undermodeled" 109F dance......almost like watching an artist at work. I'd put him up there with hblair and NathBDP when it comes to flying a 109.
About the teamwork and saving a squaddie, I can relate to that. That is and has always been one of the creeds of the Assassins, never leave a squaddie behind, get in there and help him.
But that is in the MA, where 5 or 6 guys working together aren't gonna upset a large percentage of the players in the arena. Take that same attitude to the CT, where the average nightly head count is not even 10% of the MA, and those same 5 or 6 guys working together throw any sense of balance out the window. Do that enough, and people get disgusted and log out and head to the MA.
It's kind of a delicate balancing act JG54 is doing: They may be keeping the CT "alive" with their participation and numbers, but how many more people would log in and fly more if they didn't travel in a pack of 6 or 7 most of the time?
Hats off to JG54, that wasn't an insult or a dig at you guys, just another person's perspective from reading the BBS.
