Future League Rules

There's supposedly a problem in the current rules which needs fixing and ideas to solve it need to be discussed. Right now there's a fairly arbitary minimum of 6 pilots and if you can only field 5 or less then that's tough. If keeping it dead even is so important then why have a minimum? Of course it could get silly and end up as a 1v1 but the fact is that we already accept there are times the teams must be uneven. We have a minimum to try to ensure that squads keep their numbers viable and that makes sense. Now we are looking for a way to ensure squads don't keep their numbers artificially low and that's the point of my idea. I don't mind if ppl disagree with me but at least give a relevant reason .

What Gari and Noodles bring to the table is down right dispicable and should be corrected

What on earth are you talking about? :/

Hawk, I think you missed my meaning on several points, but since you will no longer respond there is no need for me to try to explain myself better.
Anyhoo, what better time to discuss possible rule changes? It's not like -[Terror]-, or myself, are too busy playing in the UKAA 2 Squad League.

And you think for one minute I won't respond to your backpeddling BS, I didn't miss a dam thing on any meanings of any points you made, you want to get the last say in to make anybody reading your garbage think that your the one that's sane. OK

Tags in competition is a tactic, What Gari and Noodles bring to the table is down right dispicable and should be corrected.

Tulla M8, your off your nut with comparing different ends of the spectrum so stop with the tag chit, please......

And Temper you wont get the last word in if you try to imply or twist something that I know your doing.

Oh, Cheers.....

Hmmm......

....so to bring this to an end because the current discussion is going nowhere: if we would poll it out and the majority votes for not using match-tags anymore, you?d still using them or deny to take part in any league under these circumstances ?

I for one would like to avoid a poll on this and this discussion aims mainly at your common sense. Are you really saying if no squad is allowed to use match tags, it would be a disadvantage for TS - squad because they can?t win without match-tags anymore ?

Your talking about advantage or disadvantage. If one squad, lets say BSS fields 6 pilots and TKFM or Warships field 7 pilots, your saying you guys can fly all 7 cuz BSS only fielded 6? Is that really fair? And the only time you will know all this, is right b4 the match starts? Thats not fair, if you keep it the same #s there is no advantage or disadvantage for either squad and hats off for fielding 6 or better. Some matchs you only get 6, other times, wow 10 showed, sweet. Thats how it goes, C/O's decide on whos to fly and whos to sit and teams get even. Just makes sense to keep it even. The rule of 6 has never been an issue. Tempers saying that if you field 8 players and the other team fields 8 players, you fly all 8 and not drop to 6 aside and have 2 players sitting, period. You fly with the same # of players the other teams field no matter what.

I know equal numbers is fairest! We are however talking about the problem of different numbers in each half and the issue of tactically dropping pilots to gain an advantage. Have we have given up on solving this?

Hmmm..............OMG

Here we go with the personal attacks again, once again tulla don't put TS on the spot as the only squad that does this. There are people that havn't probably even read this forum. Let use some common sense here and think about what would happen if you.....ahh well do whatever, you guys are a joke as this thread is a joke. Tulla your a joke! keep up the good work!

Sorry Fury, I wont step down to your level this time.

We all know also other squads using match tags but pilots of TS defending it on this thread with tooth and nails. This is why I?m talking about TS squad in the very first place. No need to talk about WS or FD, when they don?t reply on here.

Fury, if you want to take it as a personal attack on you or TS - squad by all means, so for gods sake do it.

Oh and if you plan a revenge by targetting me in arenas: no way, I?ll use match-tags from now on, so you can?t find me. ))

Geeezzz...........where is the Kindergarten - Cop, when you need him ?

Your Quote is what I'm talking about Gari,

This should be solved,

Not what we are reading about match tags, talk about priorities

Tulla,

Ur a funny guy, transparent, but funny:)

Understood Hawk.

But whilst on the subject of tags....

Hidden tags is currently a valid tactic that may or may not achieve anything. The only reason not to have them is because they reduce the opportunity for a bit of banter with old adversaries. A high alt cat & mouse with a recognised enemy is much more fun than with an unknown. It's not a big issue though so back to the important stuff .
