Apology to the Allied side.

[SlipKnt]

We had one hell of a fight in 9, 12, kp-9 and in 10, 13, kp-1. 

We were eventually tied up with 4 squads total. 

We fought to the very last man with only one of our guys disengaging and RTB due to a half wing.  From the beginning to end, the fight was one of the most intense for us in FSO that I can recall and seemed to last an eternity.  I hope that we gave the axis a good and difficult fight.     

As far as reall life?  In real life, we would know the approximate location based on recon flights.  That is how the orders would be developed.  So yes, we should have known the approx (sector) of the CV, as you knew the locations (sectors) of ours.  Or, we would have fanned more scouts to adjoining sectors. 

I commend Shifty for speaking on this.  It can happen though.

Overall, yes, we were disappointed about the location of the boat, mainly because we had the plan covered to sink it, and sink it we would had it been there.  But, (at least our squad) had a great time as the action begain very quickly, there were lots of enemy planes, and the fight lasted a while, though most of us were shot down last night. 

It was a fun one indeed!

That is what you think.

That is what you think. 

 

We can never know...   ...now!!!!

Wait...this made it more difficult to find? Like in real life? And then it was sunk anyway?

Sounds like fun had by all.

I commend Shifty for speaking on this.  It can happen though.  I think of it as water under the bridge and I applaud all that pour their time into us having fun.  Thank you CMs!!!

Did we sink it after all though???

It was a fun one indeed!

not accepted or even excusable.

Grow up and volunteer to design and plan an event.  Then we can pick it apart to the last detail and criticize you when you make a mistake.  Comments like that do nothing positive for this event or community and is f#$%ing  Bu11$h!t.

Very well said.

Shifty every one makes a mistake once in a while.  Don't let it get you down.  You forth rightness in you admitting you made a mistake to the community is commendable.  Just remember, Anything you say can and will be held against you in you Courts Martial.  Presiding over you Courts Martial will be Admiral Surfinn.

To quote Paul Harvey:  "And now the rest of the story."  Nosey logged in last night and didn't have orders.  Kurt and I checked and his squad was allied.  I asked him to check on Country channel and get the Orders.  He PM'd back.... Allies is that Rook or Knight?  And yet, he sank the battleship.  All that I am saying is that a million little details were covered to bring you the event.  A lot of hard work went into the event from the players, squads and CMs.  The ship was found and sunk.  The resistance looked fierce from my view.  And obviously, a lot of people had fun.  Yes, some people were frustrated (including 1 design CM) .  But, welcome to FSO!  No apology needed my friend, but since you were gracious enough... (I'll say it) Apology acceptted and Thanks for all your hard work!

[cohofly]

Lets not incite things futher here guys shall we??? Shifty has apologised to the Allies as a whole and to me as CiC for Frame 1. I have accepted his apology and understand that no one can say "Ive never made a mistake." These things will happen from time to time, and its not "what " happens, but "how" you proceed from that point on. Surfinn is entitled to his opinion and to post it here on the BBS. We worked long and hard to  plan our attack and defense, as Im certiain KN did also. I wonder if the shoe were on the other foot and our boats were not in the sectors that the Axis recieved, how many would be on the boards screaming bloody murder. I for one had a great time on Friday, yes it was stressful, yes it was frustrating to have our scouts not find the Tirpitz. We were forced to adapt and so we did. So lets not turn this into a pissing contest of moral firbre or ethics, because as we all know no one wins an Intenet Argument. If these types of posts persist I will be asking for the thread to be locked. Feel free to PM whomever you wish to, but for Gawds sake lets not make it worse on the Boards.

Guys I appreciate the support, thank you. In regards to surfinn I don't blame him for his frustration. He was part of the CiC team and they worked hard on a battle plan that was compromised by an Admin brain fart. I would have been just as frustrated. I screwed up and am willing to take my lumps for it. I do ask that we not allow my mistake to snowball into a flamefest between players.
Even with the position error the Allied recovered enough to get to the Tirpitz and sink it. The Axis carried out two effective attacks and the air to air action was intense for both sides. The event still has two frames and victory can yet be had by either side. Again I really appreciate the positive comments they mean a lot, but at the same time I earned the negative ones all on my own.

One of the best parts of the FSO to me over the years was for the most part guys kept it civil with some friendly jabs on the BBS, but fought like hell in once in the arena flying their aircraft. That is the why the FSO has been a success. That is the way it should be, don't let a mistake tarnish that.   I need a red and white cane and a seeing eye dog to go with my sunglasses by the way.
