Hey Angels 10. While your opinions and post are as welcome (and appreciated) as anyone else here I think we are getting off point of this forum. The buy product of the conversation of taking carriers out of game play has been opinions listed in protest to such a large squad, hoards, blah blah blah.
While I don’t believe having a squad of 140+ is good for the game I don’t have any right to tell you guys how to spend your time or dictate to you what is and isn’t acceptable fun squad sizes.
With that being said, the facts are as follows:
1. Cjs have taken upon themselves to decide what CVs will or will not stay in game play.
2. The major majority of Rooks on this issue have agreed it’s not acceptable for your squad to take exclusive control of these carriers and put them in never never land.
3. We have asked to have them returned to Rook control and not just CJ control.
4. Every response to this issue from your squad can be summed up in a single sentence, we will do whatever we want to do. Not once was an opportunity offered by your squad to do anything other than continue hiding CVs.
5. Because of the rude nature demonstrated by your squad on 200, country channel, and in this forum, more and more Rooks have turned to further opinions and insults of your squad based on what they have seen or read. Human nature being what it is.
I guess the question here is, what is your response to the issue of CJs having exclusive control and deciding who gets to run Rook CVs.
Lets not cover the idea of other CVs around that we can play with and stay on the point. Any CV that the CJs exclusively deemed to be taken out of game play and maintained control of for 4 days while other squads were asking for them to be returned.
The following are responses to your numbered list:
1. We're talking about one event. I wasn't there but as a general rule I don't condone the taking of CVs and stashing them.
2. I respect that, I don't personally mess w/ the CVs. I dont like them floating in never never land either.
3. Once again, one time event.
4. I can't comment on the situation b/c I wasn't there. "We will do whatever we want" is probably a standard response from anyone paying to play a game. Does it make it right or wrong? Not necessarily. I don't personally condone what was done w/ the CVs.
5. Rudeness on 200 or this forum is, well, not exactly uncommon. I try to keep things on the up and up, but I can only control my keyboard.
My response to CJs having control of the CVs is this: You are asserting that a CJ has control of each CV for 24/7. That is simply not true. The current system allows each player the right to control a CV based upon rank. We do not and never will have "exclusive control" or dictate who gets to run the CVs. If a CJ wants to take a CV and move into position for an attack, I'll support him. If a CJ wants to take control of a CV to re-route it away from 3 consecutive PT spawns to protect it, I'll support him.
I will say that I do not like the idea of CVs floating in the corner of the map. I don't condone taking control of CVs for that purpose.
Why do you believe a squad of 140(using your number, b/c I don't know) is bad for the game?
I hear this a lot, but w/o any real reasoning. As someone (Pitch, I believe) said earlier, we do A LOT of training. Unlike some squads, we don't recruit based upon rank. We have TA sessions working on ACM, level bombing, manual calibration, dive bombing, GVing, how to hit ack guns w/ rockets, etc. Pretty much any skill needed we teach it. Do we do NOE hoarde runs, yup, just like a bunch of other squads. But we also will fly strategic multi-faceted missions as well.
I'm not here to change your opinion about us. If you don't like us, fine. I will say that most opinions would be changed if you took Angels10 up on his offer. We have fun. We like to take bases. We don't mind running missions that have a low probability of success. We don't mind dying. Bring your clubs and come smash some baby seals if you feel that makes you feel better. If you want to target me, my in game is GEAR. I'm usually flying solo in a P51D w/ a blue nose. Come on out and find me. Bring some friends, if you want.
Gear
