I love the idea, but how would u keep track, and it would cause problems amount each others, squads would be fight with each other and all that. # of Bans are gonna skyrocket.

Boner, I've gotta disagree. As I've said, most people are legitimate players who want the game to be play fair, and won't bug us simply so they don't cause controversy. If the 6 major squads participate, what are the chances of someone who just wants to derail us is there?

Bomer, what you're saying is based on the assumption that no one will play fair. If there's enough players there to make it interesting, hopefully most of them will be honest about who won. As for keeping track, withing five feet I have a pen and paper. Start there. Keep it recorded on a thread. That's not an issue with the idea, that's just a filler argument.

Ok I see valid arguments on both sides of the issue (I'm kind of sorry for bringing this up btw)

I dont see how we can have any event that asks other people to play differently based on a new event some people want to play. think of it like this, its like recess, hey guys we want to play four squares, but we are allready using this area for dodgeball. Guess what if we want to play four squares now we have to play with the likelihood that we will get hit with dodgeballs.

so all participants would have to agree to abide by the conditions of the games "as is", and I think that would make it more interesting and fun. instead of participants saying "stop it guys we are racing" you just roll with the punches and if you get shot down by a non participant so be it.

I like manfred's ideas as well. He has said that it should perhaps be one on one initially. That would make for a simpler match. We can test a prototype with just two squads competing in a simple game and go from their.

again, please have faith in us. Major squads have enough built in moderating (Falcon report a pilot utility for example) that any flamers etc would be kicked out of squads.

lol, calvin
in your earlier message you referred to bomer as boner. whoever put those two keys next to each other is responsible :lol:

Sorry 'bout that Boner. ;)

If this is going to be a squad based activity, which it really does have to be, we need the official backing of the squads. I won't have any part of anything that isn't organized, it'll just end badly.

Calvin, auto correct seems to be really kicking you in the gut. Re-read some of your recent posts. :P

The Bomer/Boner thing? The last one was Intentional, and meant as a joke. The first one was accidental.

Are there others?

About the Olympics, do you think that it has potential with Dogfight as it is, or do you think it'd cause to many problems?
