Please show up at or before 3 pm US Eastern time  (9pm west EU) in Special Events II arena -- the arena will lock after that.  End of frame will be nominally at 6:45 pm US Eastern time.

A suggestion to the powers that be: don't lock down the arena.  It seems a strange policy when you want to get as many involved as possible.

This is an EVENT

We cannot have guys logging in and launching when ever they want. We have limits and rules in here and if guys just show up from MA when ever, it would be chaos...... OK more chaotic then it already is   :D

We do want more players, but with in the scope of a scenario.

He actually has a valid point! Ditto, Sir...

The CM's hosting control the arena settings and have the ability to keep all flights locked down.....

Walk-on's should be allowed in up until the Scenario is fixing to start rolling planes...

They just need to go to the nuetural country to be able to get assigned a place/plane slot....

I know you already know that, but the Scenario never starts at 12pm/3pm or whatever... It always seems to start 20 to 30 minutes after top of the hour....


Just saying

I don't have no Bwanas / Privs anymore since I was retired from Training, but I do know that the CM can tower any unauthorized plane launch if necessary, up until the arena is locked down

and they are easy to spot, especially if they are not in uniform....


Just putting my thoughts out there, on this subject

 :rofl

YES

I do know that, and that is what we do.   

Last 2 frames we have been starting 40 after the hour.

I had to walk guys through setting up squads as the leaders failed to show. It has been chaos.

If someone is late  they just have to type .p flossy let me in

if they are a noob and never flown in a scenario and the event has started, we do not have time to explain.

If they show up early and we can explain the rules and get them in uniform  they are most welcome

in the Melee arena when it's time- brooke makes calls in the MElee-for more players, just like this post was opened yesterday--the people have plenty of notice and and plenty of chances to play in the scenario's..    .KCDitto is right-Chaos would in-sue if Brooke had to stop playing every 5 to 10 minutes to place a new player-if they can't get in to play, that's just tuff

One of my biggest peeves with Scenarios and one of the main reasons I do not participate. If it's a set start time, why the heck are you starting 40 minutes late?
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!

I don't know why we would start late? Perhaps:

When real life happens and your group leaders do not show, you have to explain how to set up a squad to a guy who has never done it before as to have everyone in uniform.

When you have guys that show up 20 minutes after knowing that we start 30 minutes after and have to get them invited and set up.

When you have walk-ons who have never flown a scenario before and have to explain the rules and that this is NOT the MA.

When you have guy who will only fly plane _______ and that unit is full so they just leave.

When some of the settings did not take from the script and adjustments have to be made.

When you have registered players show up 30 minutes after and then have to move guys to other squads so as not to be over on a certain type of plane.

stuff happens

IIRC scenarios are slated to start at 3:30, so 10 minutes late.
