yeah, boy they sure sound tough. too bad it's all make believe.

To answer the first post, I'd say lighten up.
The free placement starts are fun but not very realistic. So "in your opinion" people not being able to coordinate where they come in together, is just that--your opinion.
I like doing some of those by chance and others by letting my partners know where I'll be. Big deal. It's a game. Have some fun.
And if some "sportsmen" only take the super planes, don't play them. I pretty much have figured out that a lot of the supermen of this site, with hundreds of victories, are actually not that very good at the game anyway. They can beat some pigeons in some easy scenarios and if they want to build up their W-L ratio that way, it's ok by me. It's a game. Have fun with it.
