I agree with this. Let's say Henning for some crazed reason decided he wanted to join the Snakes. Well.. why not make him a driver, or weapons specialist, or something with some gusto. Playing your heart out for 4+ games and learning everything there is to know should get more than a soldier or a medic. UNLESS: The rosters have already been filled and you come in as a late addition. I know I wasn't gonna give up my status for a Greenshirt or Medic. I like you guys like my online brothers.. but I didn't gain this position for nothing!
Here is the thing though: Following your analogy, Darth Henning decides to join Cobra, now he was considerable experience as a player and has always posted 100%. Does that entitle him to "bump" a current Cobra Player from a class like Weapon Specialist? If you look at the team rosters, almost all the special classes are filled by long standing vets and newer players get assigned soldier or medic class. That way if they don't play and quit midgame, the lose of their post is not as damaging to the team. Which is common sense. So even though a player leaves one team and moves to another, he starts as "new" on that team. It does sound a bit unfair, but it is sort of one of those catch 22 situations. |

I'll talk this over with VQ but I agree that a player shouldn't have to start over if they change teams. Back in the old Texasdoom days when he first started the rank the two who had the most points and highest Rank was Big Ern and myself. I never used my rank because at the time he wasn't doing anything with it. That was why I didn't turn in my posts to him but he told me when we were talking on AIM that I would have had the second highest rank and would have been one of the only two generals at the time. Texasdoom had to leave and the person who took over the rank made it so anybody pretty much could gain points quickly. It made rank worth nothing again IMO but that was way back then. Anyhow I'll talk things over with VQ about keeping your rank when changing teams.

Well, quite honestly because I was dropped from the Cobra team unceromoniosuly back in June, lost any rank I had and had to start at the bottom of the Joe team, see that Joes are now going over to the Cobra team, and I am STILL at the bottom (even after having played for quite a long time)-the game stopped being fun for me.
I am going to drop off. Maybe join up later on but for now count me out. Thanks man. I missed the pics though. Where are they? In this thread? I'll never find them..... |

Sorry to see ya go. Most of us knew you were not merely a green shirt. Rank means nothing to me. Give me a weapon and let me loose! Hope you join up somewhere. I hate to see all the vets drop out slowly...
Thanks man. I missed the pics though. Where are they? In this thread? I'll never find them..... Yes they are in this thread. Probably 40 pages back. If I find em .. I'll send you a link to them. You will be impressed! |

I am considering some Fang and CLAW stickers if he has them. I got a set with no decals! Damn it! I was not willing to pack them back up and mail it to Hasbro to let them take care of it. I do remember seeing the decals all laid out before you had cut them. Looks like a lot of work.
