I think that reducing and limiting the scenarios would be a mistake. The site continues to grow, adding new options and aspects which make the site more accessible and rewarding to new players and veterans alike.

Players using certain scenarios to increase their score has always happened, and probably always will do. I've played the Snipe v Pfalz scenario several times on an 8 v 8 board as the Snipe and never succeeded, but I love the challenge. If I see someone who is obviously out for a few quick easy kills I generally don't play them.....or take great pleasure in making sure I shoot them down

New pilots will always be lambs to the slaughter in any game, until they learn to gain the right skills and give as much as they get. It took me a long time to get to a decent skill level. I don't think too many players will be scared off because there are so many different players to play against and so many scenarios to chose from.

The Snipe and SS dIII and dIV add a great dimension to the game. I love flying against the SS as a Bristol fighter for example.

Variety makes things more exciting. Just ignore the pilots you're talking about. YouPlayit has the nicest, most honourable users I've ever encountered on the internet.......there's plenty of nicer pilots to fly against




A game like this has the built in tendancy to attract players with, shall we call it "inadequacy problems", you know, someone who is unhappy with the tools in his shop. The only thing you can do is to try and not play them (in any scenario).

I had suggested not dumping the one sided scenarios on another thread, rather combining them all in one category regardless of size with the admonition that it's unbalanced. The unbalanced games have some value in a player introducing an inexperienced friend to the game syatem. (Obviously, the "ace" taking the week side.) They can also be fun when you play them as a back-and-forth challenge, something I seem to enjoy.

I have a sign in my office that says "No one (thing) is completely useless. They (it) can always serve as a Bad Example". Perhaps that applies here as well?
