In any case I don't like that PM system for registration. Its not very fair to the newcomers or anyone not ready (or not able) to lobby just to get the spot in the squad he wants.

And It makes the automated registration useless.

I don't find teamspeak meetings at 2am very exciting.

End of the whine. We'll contact the CO's when we know what we'll do.

Well, considering the low registration numbers the last few events, we are trying something different.  Which side have you been flying the last two or three events?  Might be time to try something else.

Oh, and no teamspeak meetings lasting hours on the allied side.

Roc likes to hear himself talk, so he might have those.

Oh Hajo, how are your Barmen doing?

I cant wait to pound Das FatherLand with my 500 lb bombs. Or see the vaunted Luftwaffe get shot to pieces. They got it coming in my book.

Ah, Finally.  A man worth killing.

It's interesting watching the personalities on these forums.

There are people who are proactive, energized, positive, and actually doing something, then there are those who are sitting on the sidelines, waiting until the last minute for some else to do all the work, think they are going to just waltz in and play "pew pew" and think they will have fun all the while complaining about those who have laid the foundation for them in the first place.

hehe, that's so cute.

It's not Fair that a bunch of people are working their collective butts off and you might not get to wait until the last minute and join Noir?  Really?  

I don't think you understand that this is exactly what has hurt the events the most.  Get over it.

this is the 2nd time in 2 days you have gotten pissy with someone about this event, mabe you need to chill out and understand that not everyone will see things your way or want to follow you in your ways. telling people directly or indirectly to "piss off" wont vote well for you in your quest to have people "join in the fun".

I can see ROC's point; those that have something invested are the ones that will show for the event, no matter what. This scenario is already turning out to better than any of the ones I have flown in Aces High, if you want in on it, post your request in the scenario forums as no one is being turned away. Even some of the old timers that haven't played in some time have come back and are taking part (increasing HTC's revenue I might add).

Get involved, don't ask for a spot now just to sit on it until October.

Thank you for the clarification Fencer.

Believe it or not this is a game made to have fun. This is not work. And yes I like to pew pew, not lobby people in walls of text to have the leet ride.

Damn, I must lobbying all wrong since my 'leet' ride doesn't even have guns. In fact, my ride will actually take additional personal time before and after a scenario but it will make the immersion better for everyone.
