Gentlemen,
Unfortunetly, we will not be able to disclose the reasons as to why he was not selected to become a CM. At that is where we will leave it. I understand that there is a lot of people frustrated, but I will not put any inputs into this.
I still intend to be a CM KOTH. I understand and accept the responsibilities as being the CM (possibly Team Lead) for KOTH (once fuze decides to take a break), and I am trying to put all of my will onto making this as well as I can make it. I know that there will be people that hate and like the way I run things. I just hope that the majority of you enjoy the event as I would like it to progress into the future. If there has been one thing that the Marines around me have counted on me to do is the big picture. I am very cognizant of the bigger picture and I strive to complete some very large task, with very little help. If that is the one thing I have on my side, then I think KOTH will turn out to be alright.
I have a few ideas that I ran past fuzeman before I let this out.
I have a couple of rules that I would like to implement, and I would like to test it out, with the approval of the KOTHers in whole. My ideas are not the best at times, so if you think you may have something better, please post it here, or send me a PM regarding what you think should either be better/improved.
1. I would like to change the alt cap to 4.5K. There will be a grey zone between 4.5K and 6K, which is where the cloud layer will remain at 6K. Keep in mind that you can go past 4.5K and all the way up to 6K, but the wind will go vertical at 180mph starting at 4.5K. I think the reason is clear, but to make sure: This will hopefully improve fights, less BnZ, and more fighting around the KOTH.
2. I would like to introduce WW1 aircraft into KOTH. The stipulation to selecting a WW1 aircraft is that you have to be a wabbit. With that, if you do select a WW1 aircraft, the radar ring will be a lot shorter and you will fight in more contained quarters.
Regarding the TOC:
1. Anyone who has won a KOTH will NOT have a chance to win again at any point in the year. You have won your spot to TOC, and there is no reason why you should win another. You can still attend KOTH and you can win rounds, but you will not be scored for those wins. I do not care if you have won 6 rounds in 1 KOTH, I will continue to run KOTH until a new person has won their invitation to TOC.
2. Any wabbit who has been a wabbit in three separate KOTH will have earned their right to the TOC. If you only have been wabbit for one or two KOTHS, you will still have a chance to win in the wKOTH.
3. wKOTH will no longer be a regular KOTH. it will be a one round event to decide who continues to TOC. As I see it, many players will have already won their spot to TOC, and there will be far less competition in the wKOTH. This hopefully, will drive players to win their way in instead of wKOTH. Also, wKOTH will begin just before TOC.
These are my ideas that I think you will enjoy. Please feel free to criticize as you will.
<S>
EDIT: I apologize for not being able to attend today's KOTH. As much as I wanted to, work came first. Which will lead me to my next point of issue that I have. My work schedule is very unreliable. My plan is to run Friday and Saturday KOTHs. But I may be unable to run both. If I can, and mind you this is a big "If", then the times will have to switch. I cannot run KOTH at 2PM Pacific time here, because I may or may not be able to be there for the start. Saturdays I'm almost always around, and I think that would be a good time to have the Euro guys get in on the Saturdays.
To put it simply, as a 20 year old, I run my own office and in charge of 6 other people that I need to be responsible for at any given time. This is why I can't run Friday KOTH as early as it is.
