I like the idea. I'm pretty burned out on the MA also. I would also suggest that we all switch around on the sides so that we keep some balance. There are way fewer dedicated Axis types so it could easily become very unbalanced. That would also give everyone a chance at flying all the different aircraft.
I'm not so sure about the password protection. We really need to get some of the newer guys interested in the concept of flying more realistically and this might be the place to do it. We can probably police it somewhat ourselves to keep down the bickering and BS. If a chronic bitcher is ignored by everyone he/she usually just goes away.

I agree that there should be a rotation of sides, and that will be put to a vote too. A PW does not mean you can not invite a new pilot to fly with your squad in order to entice them into joining, but we want to leave the Main philosophy in the Main arena. We do not want rogue pilots bringing the Main mentality into the WWII arena by flying around doing their own thing. Your either flying with a squad or your flying in the Main. The purpose is to have an arena for serious squads to fly S3 type missions with a sense of order.
As for the buffer banter, it would be up to the squad to chastise their members if they misuse the buffer, if it continues, that player will be banned for 24 hours from the WWII arena. Personally, I do not want to see petty arguments or complaints in the buffer. There are private buffer and TS channels for that if somebody feels the need to vent at another member. These are some of the proposals I will be bringing to the table tonight. I would suggest that squad members get with their CO's and discuss what they would like to see done with the WWII arena, so that we may discuss them in our meeting tonight. <S>
