Zup with all the people.in this game. Some.having two.or three accounts. Would it be posible to.let the squad leaders check the ip address of a player for multiple accounts. As there are new pilots that are having a hard time joing squads. The leaders just dont know if their using more.than one account. This will.stop people from.joing more than one squad and let the leaders weed out the bad ones that have benn banned for spawnkilling or team killing. Just a thought

I support this notion for all the above-mentioned reasons by darrax

@zup, just saw your post. Is it still possible to provide squad leaders with a tool that helps them address the issues that darraxx mentioned without revealing the ip?

the one feature that has been added to help us out is the last seen date. click on a pilot's name and you'll be able to tell the last time they logged in. this doesnt help with multiple accounts but it certainly helps me know who is active at least. and that is a big help.

i'd still like to see some way to communicate with different wings of your squad. in clash of clans sometimes i'll get 'clan mail' from the leader telling me to build dragons or something. would it be possible to add a one way squad mail feature. then you could send out a message to your whole squad saying "hey you, subscribe to this game" or "come visit us on the forum".

i agree with zup though, ip addresses arent something to just give out.


so what the heck? rock the discotheque!

Zup.would.it be posible to.make a data base or something so the leaders only with your express ok. Can see if the player has more than one account without giving the ip.address. the job of leader is hard enough they could use a little info. Plus the true beginners have to suffer if they have any skill because it always looks like a second account. The new people are having a hard time finding a squad only because the leaders have to second guess and question every player that applies

I get what darraxx is saying here. Just the other day I was asked who I was. When I responded ME lol. They said they thought I may have been a different account for Mcfate since he had recently taken a break from the game. A huge complement for sure, but I am no Mcfare lol. I also remember awhile back when I was new to the forum. Someone on the MOM thread was asking if I could join up and Wig said that I was probably whiplash's dead brothers cousin or something to that effect LOL. Ill try and find it to quote.

Either way it would be a good way to keep track of the trolls out there and assure they don't end up in your squad with a different name. The new players who are genuinely good pilots would benefit the most I think.

Found it! I guess there was some long term troll issue at the time that may have contributed to the wording, but Wig liked me too :woohoo: I feel overly complimented at this point between wig and Mcfate lol

I've found him to be fair, optimistic, level-headed, a fine pilot, and a loyal teammate.

Can I get a second opinion on the idea that an invitation is in order?

As a relatively new M.O.M, I never feel comfortable giving invitations. I guess I'm reluctant to make people go through the initiation ceremony with Bopes shy.


Invite away, Mac. He's probably Whiplash's dead brother's sock puppet, but I like him too.

I love the Last Seen: thingy! All Lafayette pilots that are 100 days without playing will go into our 'Honored Reserve' wing.. those with 200+ days since their last appearance will enter our MIA (Missing In Action) list. This will open up more spots in our little squadron for more active pilots to fill.
