Whether or not any are needed and how many will be decided at game time.

Might walk on tonight.. what time do the birds take flight?  If i can avoid an hour of sitting in the tower waiting it would be ideal.

Frame 2 today start time 7 pm eastern.

Same for frame 3 (Nov 1) and frame 4 (Nov 8).

We never wait 1 hour between show-up time an takeoff.  It is 30 minutes max.  We need that time to get people sorted into sides, see which sides are low, assign walkons to achieve side balance, get people in uniform, get them briefed.  If everyone showed up at takeoff, it would be unworkable.

Logged in prior to 6pm yesterday to make sure I had the terrain.  Sat on Rooks for 20 min without an assignment after posting to 200 I was open to either side.

Never got a response.  Went to the MA.

Guess I am just not patient enough for scenarios anymore.

Strange I thought I saw Brooke tell you to go to bish, but I must have been confused with rook. We definitely could have used another good p51 stick... I didnt have 200 set. I was gonna say something but I thought were already coming to bish, but when I checked roster you were already gone. We took off about 7:30. Even tho it "starts at 7" its like a NFL game where it doesnt really "start" until about 20-30min after, but should show up earlier to get orders and assignments.

Im kinda surprised there isnt more allied guys tbh. Wheres all the MA bomber pilots and P51 guys? Use to be everyone wanted to fly allied.

While you were the Brooke announced he would be placing walk-ons in 15 mins. I saw you there when it was posted. He did another for 5 min.

He also asked you and another to switch to Bish to be placed. You were still in the arena then too.

This is not on Brooke. He does a killer job handling so much. This is an action packed killer scenario. A shame so many are missing it.

I went rook upon login as I knew how the gig went.  Didn't see anything in my buffer following my text on 200 and 15 or 20 min afk.

Definately possible I missed it.  I did see other folks getting assigned.. possibly didn't scroll back far enough.

Come join us in frame 3 -- it will work out OK, I think, as follows.  :aok

I'm generally not tuned to 200.  I give status updates in CM blue text, though (which appears in everyone's text buffer in the arena).

Here is what I did yesterday.  The same process I always do.

-- Show up time for this one is 7 pm.  (I don't have arena set up until 6:30 to 6:45.)
-- From 7 to 7:15 or so, I did 2-3 CM blue-txt annoucements such as: "Walkons/unregistered players, I will assign you to a side in about 15 minutes"  (or whatever are correct minutes)
-- At about 7:15 or 7:20 or so, I assigned walkons to a side.
-- At 7:30, I opened fields for flight.

I think you might have showed up prior to 7 pm (so your waiting time was longer), didn't see any of the CM blue-text status reports, and left a couple minutes before I assigned walkons.  That is unfortunate -- but we will definitely get you in there next one.

My suggestion:
-- Show up at 7 pm.
-- If you want timing updates, see the CM blue text that appears periodically between 7 and 7:15 or so.
-- Get assigned at about 7:15 or 7:20.
-- Take off with your side about 7:30.

Frame 3 will be a blast.  Hope to see you there.  :aok
