you're an absolute madman with these ideas. while i've thought of similar things, i merely say to myself, "that would be cool." you, on the other hand, take action.

i'd like to visit your lab to see what other experiments you have cooking. i'll bring my lab coat.

signed,

lol, thanks for the compliments, It would be great to see others implementing these ideas to the Arcade or realistic levels, or even to the Xbox 360 console, so if anyone reads this feel free to adopt my ideas, rules, or anything that you may find useful.

*** I want to THANK the "Rest of EUROPE" group, you guys always demonstrate efficacy and efficiency in completing your matches ahead of the due date; 4 days earlier to be exact. (makes me wonder, is this tournament taking longer than it needs to? I really hope that those participants waiting until the last day to complete their matches really have better things to do or use this time wisely, example: to practice) ***

An opportunity to develop tactics, fly in formation, and be victorious as a unit. I expect mature, serious SIM players. I will have a fair ranking system that concentrates on participation as well as skill. With the introduction of the upcoming inter-game chating option you will be able to talk to your flight group only (even if there is only 6 members of your team online at the time, you can have 2 groups of 3 or 3 pairs). This competition will include invading enemy territory (STRIKE), and capturing it (CAPTURE THE AIRFIELD). "CLASH OF THE CONTINENTS" will be a tournament of 2 teams and the objective will be to conquer Europe (series of maps). Tournament will end if a team conquers all maps or if a team runs out resources or manpower. This is planned for January, and I will explain with more detail until then.

Sounds fantastic edal, really excited to see this come into action.

And just like irrelevant said

Thats one of the best things about you edal, you just do it.

Dammit Rhah, I knew you won by a net total of 1. Damn me and my low flying addiction, kissing rivers with my belly and randomly solid trees lol. Good games though, mate, well played

Totally. Getting owned by Mirgervin was absolutely no fun. And I suspect the same will happen in a few upcoming matches.

An option to concede a match where it's obvious you will spend the next 20 minutes getting raped might get around this. Maybe extrapolate the results for a small time sample over the entire duration of the match? So, say I got shot down 5 times in 5 minutes (I didn't btw lol [I don't think]) I could concede the match for 20 deaths...

I deleted the rest of the quote, but this sounds very, very exciting. I'm envisioning something like EndWar, but faster moving and less prone to deadlock. When you release the details, I'll see if there's any scope or point to writing a little Windows application so that we can track the progress etc. Maybe even use it to post results, although I think the current screenshot system is pretty bullet proof (barring people forgetting...lol).

Thank god for those tree's!!! Good games though dude, cheers.

I'm liking the sound of this new competition. Look forward to hearing more about it Edal.

So, Haitch40 and the dreaded Mirgervin next eh? When can you guys play? To be honest, this week is going to be difficult for me. The only times i'm available are tonight, probably quite late, and Thursday evening, after 9pm.

e.g. i fly around without shooting you and you just use me as target practice

*cough* *cough*
Here's one! I've been pure cannon fodder this tournament. I really feel I'm missing something, cause many times I get shot down in the most embarrassing way, without knowing exactly where the bullets come from.
And watching how people perform manoeuvres and stunts, getting and staying on my six without apparent effort.
I collected some really good advices and also learnt something during these dogfights, but still I'm no match.

@Edal: sorry mate I couldn't go online and play with macademic, been really busy with some uni stuff this week.

ps. I agree with miatar being target practice is not any fun, but still I want to thank Edal, he's done a great job

[trueshotcaller]

I know I'm too late for this tourney, but in the coming weeks I'd like to get up to speed with anyone online for simulation training. I've returned to this game after hearing that a PS3 patch is getting closer - looking forward to flying in the skies with all of you!

Hi there Hrok81,
any chance you got time today, I'll be leaving for Moscow tomorrow and although I'm even contemplating getting a slim ps3 just for that place (spending quite a lot of time there) it's still questionable if the hotel will be able to provide me with an HD TV.

Anyway, if you can it would be great (although not to worry, I've also just stepped in as cannonfodder for the excellent pilots in our group ).

Ciao, MACADEMIC
