This is just a thought,... Back in the day when all battles were done on the LAN with much beer drinking LOL Lead Admirals would move off to a private room and discuss who showed up for the fight, and divy up the fleet recruits in secret. Although this is/was controversial, back then ,.. it did allow the Admirals to say,.. "So and So never shows up so let us pick him to fly, in exchange I will take X who also does not fly well but is here today. In essense the Admirals always chose the least normally present flyers to wing. As long as the division was worked out it often resulted in the newbies flying balanced by other newbies on the other side. Yes those discussions often took a long time  As long as both Admirals can agree to a equitable sharing of players it can often result in players enjoying the game who might otherwise typically never be picked to fly. Hence encouraging them to show up again. In the end the Admirals must ask themselves is winning most important,.. or is having folks play, encouraging non regular flyers to participate, the fun of the game,.. the most important aspect of the evening. Yes that is a tough call for each of us. I sure as hell feel the desire to crush the enemy, but it is a feeling that should be put aside if one can. Just my thoughts for tonights battle. |

I would like to add that traditionally if one team out pointed the other by a large amount it was assumed that player would automatically pick the weakest newbie of the show up.
Hint Todd,.. not sure if your packing that crazy Minbari DN but consider it,.. both Admirals need to make concessions to let folks who rarely show up to play in battle tonight.
Yes this is not by the rules,.. yes it may not benifit you,.. but both of you consider it.
And good luck to both of you,.. may the battle be fun for all who play,.. and high fives to the winner.

Please remember, the piloting pool back then was a tad closer in flying skills. Because of this(nowadays), those of us, like me, have ships that are technologically way behind the B5 races, to make up for the difference, and they do.
I am not against handpicking pilots, but I am not sure that course of action still does the same thing it did back then. one can only hope so. I am always open to suggestions by the opposing admiral., and most times agree to them.
TOo bad we cant include the guarantee of drinking in our piloting skills, cause I often have drinks Sunday nights, and it does affect my skills, or at least my judgement lol.
