Where is Oldman or Soda?  Hell even Fudgums or Fork sounds good at this point. 

Oldman has had to step back for a bit because of some real world issues.  It's nice, when I do bounce in here, to see a growing interest in the setups that are planned.  Takes me back to the days of Brady and the Combat Theater, so it does.  Discussions like these can be very helpful in figuring out how to make the arena better.  I would ask you all to remember that not everyone is going to like every setup (I'm as bad as anyone else, I really don't like the 1945 plane set), which is why we traditionally run them for only one week; and also that all of us want to make the arena better, so there's no need to get personal with the comments.

Hope to see more of you folks in there as I get more time to spend there myself.

Setups that completely digress from the AvA intent, even the politically correct Oldman can't condone that??

I agree, I'm not a fan of a few historical (or even a historically based what-if) setups but I'll live through them because I know some people do.  But this one is a complete farce.

Had such a nice momentum going for the AvA, little ray of hope.  Then this turd gets dropped.

What a shame.

Okay, keeping an open mind.  I periodically get into a tank and try and have fun.  Driving long distances and finding a nice battle is fine.  Drive a long distance and get bombed, not bound to repeat it.  It may seem like simple mathematics, but until I have actually designed and implemented such a setup, I won't pretend to know what will draw in the "right" people.

Not every idea can be implemented at once, and some ideas I don't agree with.  For the most part, I have seen a marked improvement in the type of game play in the arena.  This momentum may be enough to get us over the hump that existed before by bringing in more interested parties.  Who does love parties?

What sense does this setup make??  It's not a case of being open-minded.  What people is this going to attract?  People that will only come to do the GV thing and then be gone when this ridiculous setup finally ends. 

Keep it consistent.  Am I freaking crazy?  Doesn't anybody else see how this is going to squash the spark that the no icon idea started?

Freaking baffles me.

this setup didnt seem to be a problem in february when i ran it, why is it a problem now. it almost sounds like you dont want anyone else to play in "your" sandbox? but im sure thats not the case!

I've got a whole list I can steal from Shifty or better yet go back through the many that have been done before that we haven't seen in a while.  

Or better yet maybe we can do indy car racing in the AvA next week using jeeps and M8s.

What a .....


Some ideas a bit more fitting:

How about BoB?

Italy?
N.Africa?
Okinawa?
Ardennes?
Norway?
Greece?
What if invasion of Japan?
Aleutian?
Mindanao?

Something anything than "WarZ".

geez bug, can i get you anything? valiums maybe. its just one week, it wont kill you. try it out, maybe you'll have fun? if i didn't know any better i'd swear you were throwing a tantrum! no offense.

You had your shot at setting these up, and for whatever reason, couldn't stick with it. It's someone elses' turn now, so how about giving them the same respect you were shown, or at least some restraint. Three pages, seriously, that's a bit much.

Yea I want to get my squad over to the AvA and we can gv this setup looks nice but, will the planes be able to see gv icons?
