Well Flybert, for the record I just want you to know that my perception of the plane assignment discussion on TS is quite simliar to Pat's.
That is why I called it a squabble, and I still do. However, I did not mention any names in my post because I do not want to start any personal arguments here. It is also clear that you and Pat don't get along very well, but please take your personal arguments to email. I will not hesitate to use my moderator privileges in this forum if needed.
I am still surprised that there is so much squabbling about plane selections in Fun Days. The Fun Days are intended to be flown for fun and to give us a chance to test the server, rules and scoring. Since the Fun Day scores don't really matter, I suggest that you all take the opportunity to try out different planes. I selected the Spad in the last game for two reasons; (i) I am not used to it, and (ii) nobody else seems to want it so I thought if I flew it there would be less discussions about who flew what (but I was wrong ).
My biggest headache right now is how to rewrite the rules for team deployment, signup, and plane selection so that we can avoid this type of arguments and last minute discussions on TS in the real tournament. This Fun Day wasn't much help, but I'll figure something out in the end and then you'll all have to live with it.
Please post any suggestions in the Game Development section.
