You have already been drafted by the UK.

** Guys please check the first page of this thread, Teams are ready

*** Squadrons Dont affect the other team in any way, or make it unfair for the other team. The purpose of squadrons is to have cummulative deaths, Squadron members will have to reach a certain amount kills and games played in order to rank up. When the Squadron's cummulative deaths reach a certain number those squadron members will become cassualties. This will affect the manpower available for their team. Those squadron members will then need to begin from the lowest rank again (unless a member reaches the Rank of Squadron Leader or beyond, then their deaths will be treated differently). This will help balance the deaths of beginners (who die a lot) and experienced (who die less). It will be somewhat difficult to reach the top 4 ranks but not impossible for an experienced player.

[edit]
In other words, the stronger a squadron, the more likely that its members will dominate the top ranks, this is why it would be better to balance squadrons out. Purpose is so that everyone has the opportunity to reach the top as well as have fun, the more you rank up then the more you are allowed to do to determine the outcome this "Battle for Europe"

Whether a mod can do that depends on the board and how much power the mods have.

I don't know if this is possible here I asked admin so I will have to wait to see.

[trueshotcaller]

Cool, good to see this is up and running... Kozz I'm guessing you'll put me on a balanced squad... or am I supposed to communicate with other team members and try to create our squad myself..? Let me know, I'm cool either way...

[STINGERSIX78]

i think...
the diplomatically, and maybe the fairest way is....

EDAL SHOULD NOMINATE THE SQUAD-LEADER/SQUADRONS !!!

i think this is VERY fair.
aaand, U must fight TOGETHER with some unknown warriors.
NO excuses, NO friendship, ....

ONLY THE SPIRIT OF OUR GUNS.....

[edal86]

Ok, I think this option is balanced and fair:

*Squadron UK(1)
- infinitestates, hrok81, haitch40, edal86

* Squadron UK(2)
- subarugaz, wissam24, ezee63, rhah

* Squadron UK(3)
- dihno28, winny1973, irrelevant24, rotortrash

* Penor Flight (UK)
- xxsilencexx, dubbinenglish

* Squadron UK(5)
- Steyr_amr, xxwhiterhinoxx

(If penor flight wants to accept steyr_amr and whiterhino to their flight that would be great)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

* Squadron USSR(1)
- kozzmo, macademic, stlngerslx, panz1t

* Squadron USSR(2)
- philabong2, trk29, reaper1526, He-111

* Squadron USSR(3)
- Mirgervin, trueshotcaller, fangface666, drozz6699

* Squadron USSR(4)
- Mage_016, Varcus2, olife-, filthyprick


*** (if you guys are happy with these Squadrons then just name your squadron and let me know)

* Rogue Squadron is still pending, I need to hear about you guys. Please contact me.

Whiterhino and Steyr_Amr are from Europe right? I don't know how often I would be able to fly with them if that's the case...

you dont have to fly with them all the time. Most likely, you will end up having to play alongside someone from squadron 1, another from squadron 2, and so on. This is only to balance players deaths.

What is important is to play for the team, not necessary for the squadron. Although, a squadron's role is important in that a strong squadron will have at least 1 of its members on 1 of the top 4 ranks which are the ranks that allow you to dictate the team's objectives


[edit]
I have decided that Rogue Squadron and Penor Flight remain private because these are personal squadrons and I don want to invade them in any way. So, steyr_amr and whiterhino will be squadron 5 and as more players join the tournament I will fill in the empty spots. The reason for this is that these are unofficial squadrons, only to be treated as squadrons for the duration of this tournament.

No changes will be done to the squadrons of the UK Team. However, Kozzmo will have the authority to change the USSR squadrons only if team USSR players agree to it. I will not interfere with team USSR's decisions because, even though, I am the organizer of this Tournament, I am also a participant of the opposing team. In short, it is not wise to allow the enemy (me) to partcipate in any of your plans. Agree?

I'm pretty happy with these new planned squadrons. Balancing was good idea and you managed to to do good job with it, as usual. This will be great..

thanks,
reaper had requested a squadron composed of you, trk29, reaper1526, and philabong. I suspect because you are all VAS members. However, I thought that that was too strong of a squadron. I replaced you for He-111 (he is also VAS) so that reaper's original squadron would remain all VAS members and I made you "leader" of another squadron. I based this on the results from Ace of Aces, statistically you are the second strongest of the team.

This is directed towards the USSR team,

As of January 9th we will be enemies, I will not be responsible for mobilizing you guys into playing. I expect you guys to work as a team and depend on each other. I will still be answering questions about the tournament and editing your stats. However, dont expect me to keep informing you guys of what is happening via PSN. All the information you guys and the UK team members will need is going to be posted on the first 3 posts of this thread (first page). I have referred to this posts as Bulletin Boards. I hope you guys understand and if you dont, then, imagine having to contact 30 players each week to let them know what to do and what is happening. Thanks.

Also, to all players. This tournament was created for all of us to have fun. You guys filled the spots and made this tournament possible. Please try your best to participate. If I notice that not much is happenning on the first 2 weeks, or so, of this tournament, then, I will simplify it and make it easier on me. This tournament required hours of thinking and it will require more hours to keep it functioning smoothly. I do every thing by hand and with my cheap Paint program. I am happy to do this and excited because in my mind it all looks excellent. I have intergrated ideas from the hypperlobby servers, Rome: Total War, and Battlefield 2. This tournament is not just something I came out with after the Holidays. I will be glad to do all the work if you guys participate as I expect you to. If interest is not demonstrated, then, I will not cancel the tournament but I will significantly simplify it. You will see what I mean when I mention complexity after I post the rules and description this coming Tuesday. I leave the decision in your hands.
