You know it and I have to drive back home tonight.

It stems from things that have occurred elsewhere on the site and cannot be mentioned.
Just know that I am glad to see that things can still be worked out in an adult manner as we have here. Colt, Swan, RSQ, I have nothing but respect for all of you as well as many others. I apologize if it seems I have turned your thread into a place to sling mud, this was never my intention, I just wanted to clear up my personal reasons for going back to the Cobra team. My own retirement is close on the horizon. Oh those things are just for show to impress the ladies.;)

Very much so, it appears they are bound and determined to implode.

If that Saints keep that up, it might just get them a few hours reprieve from my dislike of them - and a sip of the 72 Dolphins champagne .

That would be a great result for the '72 Dolphins for sure. At least that would be some good news for Dolphins fans today.

Fighting for freedom wherever there's trouble over Land, Sea, and Air, GI Joe is there! NEXT GAME BEGINS 11/15/12 The G.I. Joe Team Roster Chapter 33 (07/18 Active)
G.I. JOE RANK SYSTEM POINTS RANK 100+ General 99-75 Lt. General 74-50 Major General 49-40 Brigadier General 39-37 Colonel 36-34 Lt. Colonel 33-30 Major 29-26 Captain 25-23 First Lieutenant 22-20 Second Lieutenant 19-17 Ensign 16-14 Warrant Officer 13-11 Sergeant 10-7 Corporal 6-4 Specialist 3-0 Greenshirt TIME TO ENLIST I'm in. As for the roster size discussion: There was a point when the Joes had over 50 players, and Cobra around 30ish. the IGs were re-introduced in an attempt to balance numbers and skills. This also brought in more people who wanted to be more "good, but bad" rather than exclusively good-guys or evil. Shortly after, Cla split the missions from being one team-vs-team battle to special ops and strike team to balance the uneven numbers of players on every team rather than imposing a cap that would prevent people from playing. The mercenaries were introduced a year later to even out the number of teams and deal with some rule complexities that Cla wanted to sort out (later re-vamped into the Special Mission Force for other reasons). While these decisions were the right ones at the time to make the game situation fair, there was no way for Cla to anticipate how interest in playing would decline over time. Most of the veterans are gone, and the few who are left generally don't post that much. Due to the lack of product available, and the movie delay, there is basically no new blood on the tank who spend enough time here to be able/willing to play the game. Similarly a lot of causal posters who would have once filled out the teams have left for the same reason. The problem now becomes, how does Cla sort this out? Many players are fiercely loyal to the team they play for. If he simply cuts the teams down from 4 to 2 and attempts to balance numbers, certain players will leave rather than play for a different team. And even then it doesn't garuntee that numbers will be equal. If anyone has suggestions on how to restructure things I encourage you to PM Cla. He's almost always excellent at reading through suggestions and evaluating them unless he's utterly swamped with other stuff. |
