That wasn't my experience, I thought the sportsmanship was about the best I've ever seen tonight.

I can't tell you how many times I saw a high con stay high and and NOT drop in a good fight I was having down low.

I didn't get ganged when I was expecting to and would have been cool with it if I had.

Friendly in game pm's, more <S>'s than ever, even when I didn't deserve them. LOL

Besides it's about the historical match-ups. Zekes notwithstanding.

Thanks for a great time guys.


Sorry I missed it (Christmas shopping nightmare time), thanks for organizing this, Jimson.  Hope it can become a regular thing.

It was my understanding that his month was supposed to be a squad based battle, we were supposed to pick a side and fight, the MA "mentality" is understood and yet some people just can't participate any other way. When it is 2 vs 1 and one of the 2 HO's someone that is not acceptable, especially when it is cannon's against bb's. The idea of taking bases though is ridiculous to think that people, squads, are not going to try and take bases, if the ability is there to take a base, being this month's competition, it will be taken. The CM doesn't want bases to be taken then he can disable troops. The competition was supposed to only go to the 17th but the arena message to fight like it was going on till the end of the month. So what do you do, act like it is still going on, per CM, or give in to the other side? Personally, NEVER GIVE UP! A Pit Bull on a T-Bone doesn't just let go, he fights till the end. So will I. :salute :salute

The idea behind the war is for squadrons to score as much points as possible for their side.  How they accomplish this is up to them but blowing stuff up gets a lot of points (i.e. JABO/bombing runs/shooting down opponents).  Capturing bases does as well.  We don't want people to reset a map and to use common sense.

Either way, we're encouraging all to 'fight' until December 31st to pad your scores.  We'll announce the winnah in the new year.  :salute

Hey, Thanks.

I thought the planes were fun. Not popular with everyone though. I'll get back to you guys later.

Got my own Xmas nightmare going right now.

 sometimes it only takes one fight,the understanding I had was that there was an effort being made to draw a crowd of players into AVA that wanted something different from the norm.perhaps I was mistaken
   
The AvA is different, if for no other reason than the fact you know you won't end up with some bizarro-world P-51 vs. P-47 fight.

Other than that, it is what the players make of it.  Had you simply said on 200 you would prefer a series of 1v1 fights rather than a "furball", I know of at least one player who would have been happy to oblige.

Instead, you complained and then quit before anyone could respond -- which, by the way, was very "MA" of you.

So, really, your experience was your own doing.  Hopefully you will come to realize that and give it another shot.  I for one would be happy to have a rematch or several.
