S! mako. Sara and I where 2 of 3 AHC officers on the day the tiger came out for the first time. I know exactly how you feel dude. You post shows incredible leadership and is a true testiment to your character.
This is a game problem and needs to be address as such. Nobody minds either side putting together huge operations like the Anzacs did and moving the map that way from either side. But this is outside of that. Do the timelines on the front page map and it is a true WTF moment

Awesome job Mako and the post expressed it well.
Not a good position to be put into but you did one helluva job.
This is truly a game mechanics quagmire and with less-and-less people serving in the AHC, it makes it more burdensome for those who are there.
Here's what it looks like from my perspective:
Low pop time for allies leaves allied forces vulnerable. Why?
Not many AHC officers from this TZ. Why?
No one wants to be in AHC. Why?
People want to have fun and enjoy the game and can't in an HC position. Why?
CRS has developed the game so that the HC's run their game instead of fixing problems they truly don't know how or care to fix. Why?
They have to answwer that one. But I think it all boils down to the mechanics of the game that have been established to run their game and to blame someone when something happens in their game. CRS can easily stand back and say, "You need to recruit more people into the HC positions so that this does not happen again", or "Current HC needs to make being an AHC officer more attractive so you can recruit and retain officers that want to step up and lead, blah blah blah". Bull-hicky!
I think the only way to force the issue of CRS addressing these shortcomings is for all HC personnel to step down. With no one in a HC position, the game would completely fall apart and then, maybe CRS would have an inkling of the mess they have created.
Rant over.
Great job Mako. Gigantic salute and much respect sir.

Mako could have said that in PS Barely... but he didn't.
That's why he got all the kudos.
It's still a game and one we all like regarless of the shortcomings because there is nothing else like it.
Mako for Prez!!!

Yes Charlie I realize that, and I realize why he didn't say it in PS. I just made the statement for our forums.

Oh shit. Charlie's been 3D modeling too much. Posted: Wed Mar 22, 2006 6:56 pm
What's 3D modelling?

Thnx guys. Trust me I really wanted to just go off on CRS but I figured i'd state my case and just wait and see what they say about it. From the looks of it they're just gonna flat ignore it.

CRS ignoring it totally surprises me Mako. I just can't imagine they would do that.

Well played Mako. Tough situation, but well handled.
