Looking to return to ACG

[Drifter]

Hello everyone, its drifter, i joined ACG, and was here for a few weeks before i lost interest in the campaigns over the channel...

But as of now, i heard you guys are transitioning to BOX, which is right up my lane, with a total of 1400 hours. i use to fly with a group, which i was a hauptmann (Captain) in, commanding a wing; (JG52) which was in the community..

But with the activity decreasing in that squad, i've decided to move on to bigger and better things, and would like to be apart of ACG again.

See you all in the skys! Horridoooo!

Drifter, you flew 1 mission and then disappeared without a word, then when I finally got in touch with you, you told me you were 'burned out' from flying campaign missions.

ACG are easy come easy go, but we are committed and serious and we say hello and goodbye. You did none of that, so my question is, what's in it for us this time? Only last time you didn't give a monkeys about us from what I can see.

ACG membership requirements are to participate in campaign missions on whatever platform we are currently using. We will not be switching to BoX until after the current BoB campaign is finished, which should take us to August. If you were allowed to rejoin you would be required to finish the current CLoD campaign. I am concerned that if you got "burnt out" last time only flying one mission you wont be a reliable staffel/wing-mate for the remaining nine campaign missions we have left in Cliffs.

Yes, i will participate in the BOB campaigns, but the thing im most excited for is obviously BOX

Whrn you ask "What can i bring to the table" I can give you a experienced pilot in the eastern front, with, like i said, 1400 hours. i also have experience leading a staffel, rotte, and so on and so forth..

But to the main question, yes, i will participate in the remaining BOB events

We don't care a rip for experience, Drifter. We've accepted people into ACG who have 0 hours and no experience even operating an aircraft in ANY sim, some didn't even have gaming computers before they found their way to us. ACG asks for commitment, and flying one mission before dropping out because you're 'burned out' really feels like hollow words when we have people around here who have flown close to a hundred missions on this front and still continue to fly, burn-out notwithstanding, because they're committed to ACG.

How do we know you won't just waste our time and get 'burned out' again? Honest question.

[Drifter]

Because qhen you switch to BOX, i will be interested, and he asked what i can offer, i was just stating some of my ups

Drifter, you have to understand that we had members that did not show up and needed to be searched for and inquired about before. It's a nuisance and some unnecessary extra work. In addition you are letting down the unit you're assigned to if you show not up without notice, because they rely on showing up in strength.
There's nothing wrong with getting burned out or loosing interest. We had quite a few members that went through that and left. But we expect that this is announced to us, and normally it doesn't happen after the first mission. As such we are a bit careful and on alert if those things happen.
As said, we do not care about your experience or your rank in other units. What we care about is that members that join us are reliable members, that fly and write their report, and that you inform your CO about when you cannot attend for one or the other reason.

You're not hearing the 'message' being played to you very loud and very clear chap!

Talking about what you will or wont do, what you are interested/not interested in, or levels of capability, is not paying attention to that which is held most dear here at ACG.... a willingness to put up, shut up, get stuck in and most importantly 'listen', as part of the wider community. It's not about the 'me' it's about the 'we'.

Maybe ask more and tell less? would be a good start?

For example "would you mind if I rejoined your campaign?"

Just my two cents for what it is worth...

Burned out isn't really an excuse, even more so only after 1 mission.

A lot of people who fly in ACG are sick of the BoB and have done the campaign over 3 times! The joy of this group is that we stick together and keep flying!

Sorry bout my earlier comment it was in bad taste.

Basically we still only have one core rule and that is 'Don't be a dick'. Leaving us without notice and then expecting us to take you back in without at the very least an apology is a dick move.
