I will keep trying to get a hold of him but maybe set a default date announced and then have folks show up to run the battle. Worst case fly it without Todd. I have no clue what is up with him.
No electricity, 2 newborns, 1 angry wife, and a country in anarchy,.. I cannot imagine !! LOL

sadly i agree, it sucks for him, to lose the opportunity to fight his only battle to date. But the empire is closing in on us! I think i saw someone mention new years as target date to wait till. so he would still have a little time left to respond. Perhaps the weekend after the new years? or the following Monday?

I am sure that power has been restored. What I am unsure about is phone and or cable. I know that they still do have issues in that area. Where is it exactly he is at?

I will show up also,.. if this is a significant battle.
Is it one ship against one or what? I forget what has been going on and announced.
I am not showing up for a Frigate vs a battle fleet action.

Sure,.. I am not a great flyer,.. so if I show up for a small battle I have little chance of flying,.. others will be choosen over me. I understand that, it makes sense.
Funny,.. Barry ,.. maybe,.. but why do you think some folks don't show up for battles, yes Dfly others are doing it? Same reason I don't, to a small one.
Maybe you should take another tact and try to understand my thoughts and view,. instead of just laughing at it.
I am not trying to be an as.s I am just stating a fact of my view on battles. I speak for others.

*steps in to play diplomat*
It's not ment as a stab a people's abilities.
You're always pushing to try and have more people involved Scott. If enough people show up even if they're not flying they can fly other battles for fun. By saying "oh it's just a small battle I'm not coming" not only is there No chance you'll fly you wouldn't be able to fly a game or two for fun either. In essence it hurts participation by saying up front you're not coming because it's a small battle.

Stating I will show up if it is a "significant battle" does not warrent all of this sort of negative reply and comment.
I think that it is a fair comment for me to make and one that many make in their heads all the time. Quite simply I will show up if there is a fair chance that I may fly.
If I have no chance of flying I am not showing up. This game is set up to allow players to always recruit the best wings,.. poor flyers like myself have little shot of flying in small games. If you think I am going to show up time after time for a small chance to fly in a game your wrong. I have better things to do with my time than to wait around for an hour and find out I am not choosen to fly. Practice games,.. I do not really do them much.
When I brought this delima up to the powers that be (those who worked on group rules like wing recruitment at game start, I am not singling out Shalafi here) long ago, it was stated that if you want to fly, get your forces into battle. If your not recruited to fly,.. eh.
The way this game was set up to does not encourage poor flyers to show up for battles, live with what you set up, do not critise me when attendance is poor. And don't blame my comment on the poor attendance we are seeing. My comment points out WHY we are seeing poor attendance at battles.
I do not think on other gaming forums someone saying they will show up if it is a big battle would warrent this.

I realize some people may not wish to fly vs me, cause you all feel i am the biggest piloting threat out there. Those pilots with lesser skills(for lack of better words) were augmented with ships that scare even me. It however does not stop those with B5 races to fly vs those with B5 races, to even out the fight. In these campaigns, that mostly does not happen as the B5 races have pretty much stuck together(for the most part). Should I (and other higher skilled pilots) therefore sit out during battles on occasion, to allow others to fly? whether we wish to or not? even with our ships being different? I dont have the answer. I do understand your point though, and it will most likely need addressing in the future. I do know Scott, the (negative?)comments you have received are mostly due to the usually good attempts(yours, and others) to get anyone/everyone to come to the battles, the fun games, etc, and the comment about you not showing(even if others do it but dont comment), just does not help the ,,,, morale?,,, of campaigners.
