copy kat of squad name in poor taste

[Creamo]

Nope AN, it's a valid point.

[Ghosth]

I Agree cougar, you guys have worked hard to earn your reputation. Having a new group move in with virtually the same name is a real pain.

We will eventually learn to tell you apart but it sucks no doubt.

[DamnedATC]

They should change it to the

Night Hacks


ATC

 

[Ratbo]

Agreed - open merger talks. Before you flame him.

well,

not to play devils advocate, but if that was their squad name in AW, i can see why they'd want it here.

it sounds like they're not trying to steal your name from how you worded it.. hmm, maybe you guys should form 1 large squad?

Night Hawks were here first and they've earned their recognition the hard way-the school of hard knocks in the main arena. The other squad should change their name as a courtesy. Doesn't matter that they were night hawks in air warrior. This is Aces High.

BTW, you guys remember a year or two ago when some squad copied the html and pictures from another squads webpage, changed the words around a lil, and called it their own webpage? That was funny.

Technically, they do not have the same name, at least not exactly.

Couger, as you put it, your squad is called the Night hawks

The AW squad is actually NightHawks, which is grouped as one word with capitalization on the second.

That being said, I can understand your want for individuality, but you must agree you are different.

Currently, there are several similar named squads, including

****13th TAS****
13th Special Attack Squadron
13th TFS "Unlucky Bastards"

5 GvIAP VVS KA - Gie
5 GvIAP VVS KA - leonid

Jagdgeschwader 52
Jagdgeschwader 52 .... Horrido!!

Flying Tigers
The Flying Tigers
The Flying Tigers AVG

VMF-214 Black Sheep - EDMAW
VMF-214 Black Sheep - Pappy

VFA-136 <==NIGHT HAWKS==> - Your Squad
VA-185 {NightHawks} - MGD4Me

So, although you may be wanting them to change, this type of thing has been going on for quite some time. And where they are an established squad with several years of history, it is really not fair for you to expect them to change their name.

If it were a brand-new squad, it might be a different story, as was the case with someone impostering the Dickweed Heavy Bomber Group recently.

In the world of unwritten ethical rules, this one is pretty tough, but I hope you guys can work it out peacefully.

Or, maybe you can have a "Squad face-off" with the looser having to change their name.

Now yuo're talking. 262's in the dueling Arena!

[Krusher]

As pointed out 1 squad uses a one word spelling the other a two word spelling.
That sounds like a different squad to me.

[K West]

So you'd be all for a "Grove Rats" squad and one also called "GroveRats"?   Just curious.

 Westy

[Krusher]

ya ever look at the roster?
it could say anything from day to day  
~~RATS>
~~GROVERATS>
=RATS=
=GROVERATS=
=GROVERATS= KAW
etc etc

We normaly just call ourselves RATS
I head the Blackout boys on the rook channel last night calling themselves the RATS. It didnt bother me at all, rodents are rodents  

hell If you remame the MOL the Grove RATS I would consider you squaddies <G>

[Staga]

Maybe they could change their name to "Fake NightHawks" or something like that ?

Because that's what they are.

[eskimo2]

Squad hunt!

[Ratbo]

I HATE RODENTIA !!!  <tm>

They got a webpage? Maybe someone should 'infiltrate' them as a "new potential squad member', find out what time they do their squad meet(s).. and then do a squad hunt!

"hell If you remame the MOL the Grove RATS I would consider you squaddies <G>"

  I'll put it before the board
