Any Active Flotillas Still Kicking?

Kaptlt.Endrass · 08-16-22, 05:59 PM

As the name implies, if anyone is still around, running as command for a bunch of cranky subsimmers looking for a bit of RP. I've been digging a little bit but it seems that any trace of them is gone, so figured I'd give it a go and ask a bit.

If not, I might set one up if I get the time aside. I had quite a bit of fun with that aspect some time ago.

Unfortunately and sadly, there is really only one that is still running, but I do not recommend looking into them. Not a great environment imho.

I think that the days of SH3 Flotillas are long gone, a part of our history.

Ah, that's a shame. Might have to put one together then, if people are up for it. I'm sure there's a few good hands here and there that would partake.

I miss Wolves at War. (WaW)

They had a really nice website and method of operation.

I always wanted to play, but during their heyday I was always in the ocean of GWX development.

I used to read patrol orders and resultant reports, always feeling like I was a kid with my nose pressed up against the window.

The only alternative for such things currently in the SH3 environment, is the off-site dumpster fire wrapped in a train wreck.

I think it would be great if somebody else stepped up and restarted something like WaW again, if only to create a positive alternative. There does seem to be a sort of resurgence happening lately as it is. As long as its leader(s) keep things relatively simple and positive without miles of complication it could work. As long as the players wishing to take part in it understand that without input the project fails.... you have a recipe for success.

Maybe you should cast your net, ask about out loud here via poll etc. after a little planning. If you get a fair response, maybe then you could even ask Neal for a little space here at Subsim to carry out operations.

I'm back in development with the other Grey Wolves again, so with my luck any such new organized flotilla project will be a smash hit.... and I'll meet the 'Lehmann Proof Window' once more.

As being the Admin at WAW, (aka von) I sure miss those days too. Sorry you could not participate.

Sean Forehan (BdU and site owner), Bill Stacy (aka AK or Alfred Keiser and the other Admin) and myself had talked several years ago about a reboot but sadly, nothing ever came of it.

Not sure how much interest there would be for another WAW type site. I feel at times that there is not and those days a long gone.

I still have a large amount of WAW stuff we used.

On this, would be interested... & just an idea floated, perhaps of using as a base for it, the hardcore enhanced SH3 NYGM by Fifi, as that.

Just a suggestion...
