Really?
« on: August 18, 2016, 12:34:50 AM »
Really?

Not a single one of you want to step up and CO the AXIS?

I have done it 3 times now and the MALTA thing just sucked from the start....

It is time for some new blood.

I will help you anyway I can and there are others that will help. There are great people who are dedicated AXIS players and will support you....

Even if you have never done it before, we can help

AXIS is looking for someone to take the big chair!

Is that YOU!

Hell Ditto, we were all thinking you'd do it.  :devil

Seriously though, I know my plate is going to be full as it is come October between work and college. Otherwise I'd do it.


I will however supply these lovely beer maidens to whoever steps up.

I believe Branch37 tentatively volunteered, but he was completely ignored.  Par for the course.

Branch stated that he needed to know for sure that he could make it. I guess that's why there was little reaction at the time.

I will have to make damn sure I'm free before I can commit though.

Wish I could do it guys,  sorry.

I have it on My Aces Bucket list to command a side in a scenario, unfortunately it won't be this one.
There must also be a flyable computer available for Nefarious to do FSO. So he doesn't keep talking about it for eight and a half hours on Friday night!

Oh goody!

12 hours of Luft chaos !

I'll take a 190A-5 please...hell, no Axis CO - everyone just load out an A-5.  Might as well really smash em good!

I'll lead the Axis if no one steps up - but not as the side CO.  Just in the air.

In truth, he wasn't ignored, and it isn't par for the course.

I contacted Branch privately.  My sincere thanks to him for giving it serious consideration.  Since he is a helpful person with enthusiasm, we might be lucky enough to have him as a CO in a scenario down the road, but not this one, as RL constraints precluded him from being able to do it this time around.

I also:
-- Contacted 12 other people privately,
-- Posted 2-3 public topics asking for volunteers for Axis CO,
-- Mailed all FSO squad CO's asking them,
-- Asked in the CM forum for any CM's to step up, and
-- Asked the community overall for help in getting an Axis CO.

Still, we don't have one yet.

How about you, TheBug -- will you do it?  It's a good experience being a scenario CO.  It can be challenging, but it is rewarding as well, and puts you into an elite group of players who have ever done it.

I'd be more interested in being CM Lead for Scenarios. Seems to be a bigger hole that needs filling. 

Do you really need a CO for this silly 12hr event?  No interest in the format, let's see what the next one brings.   :salute

By the way, here is what is needed for being Axis CO.

Having been a GL in a scenario before.
Having enthusiasm.
Being a reliable, responsible person.

For anything else, highly experienced people on the axis side (ROC, Ditto, Stampf, Devil, etc.) can help.

Be a hero!  Join the elite group of players who have ever been scenario CO's!  :aok

Come on -- give it a try for a couple hours.  You don't have to stay in if you don't like it, and it might be fun.  :aok
