Lynx on the Rook side without a doubt. DREDger for minister of war. 
Thank you Uptown, Zoozoo and those of you who have PM’ed me in game in relation to leadership. I appreciate my nomination to the post and when I become Rooks Pres my first proclamation shell be that all newbies MUST, by Rook law, post naked pictures of their Wife’s or Sisters or Mums. This is solely for team morel and proof of commitment. Those with ugly women will be ejected to the Bish…. where they belong.
No…in all seriousness it’s flattering but if ever something like this actual arose I would decline the offer. <I get to do a conceited “me” speech now> I once tuck it upon myself to lead the Reds in Warbirds Fighter Op’s (Stevex). Although at first the experience was fun and rewarding in that I felt my leadership was proactive and valued by the whole. We advanced quicker and our resets average went up. The experience, after a while, became sour.
I play these games for fun like we all do. I like to actually do stuff, bomb, pork and dogfight but when you become “known” things change. I wasn’t doing so much of the stuff I liked doing…having my fun fighting. It became about the team. Obligated to the team. This became obvious to me one day when I logged in. A guy spotted me on the roster within seconds of my arrival and the call went out “Stevex is here…where we hitting Stevex”? I hadn’t even had chance to get the lie of the land so’s to speak. It was a natural assumption or maybe an expectation that I would lead the charge. I know this comes across as terribly conceited of me but I’m just trying to explain. It was a master slave role. I became the slave to the master…the team.
As an INTJ (psychological type) I have a set way of thinking. So I will always find my fun in and being a strat player. I do see opportunities for advancement. I do work towards a goal. Even if I have to orchestrate it…make it viable, porking, CV position etc. I think more about conquest and expansionism than furballing. Nonetheless I do like my opportunities to duke it out from time to time. <Appeasement of “ego” in our socially conditioned virtual fighter pilot role I suppose>. For me the “
hands on doing” is fun and if folk join me in taking advantage of an opportunity…even better.
Regards
Lynx
