Hi all.
I would like to open a healthy discussion on Red Lining. I speak as a Red Liner and a Red Lined player.
It seems these days that In Factional and Skirmish contracts it is uncommon to have a close, well balanced and thoroughly enjoyable game. Either you get RL or you RL which normally leads to a boring GÇÿnot so funGÇÖ game for both teams.
What normally happens in a RL game:
1. More than half the losing side give up depending on how cruel and blood lustful the winning side is.
2. The winning side show no mercy and end up racing each other for the scraps of what few reds come out to play. Which BTW decreases to the point of nobody wanting to party and end up either sniping, leaving or just whimpering inside their MCC wishing it would all go away.
What I propose is GÇÿOperation False HopeGÇÖ
I suggest when the game is clearly a RL situation that we (the red liners) pull back from the Reds home objective and give it back allowing them to them keep it.
IGÇÖm crazy you say? IGÇÖm honour bound and clearly a big softy eh?
Not so.
LetGÇÖs think about the effect of this.
1. More than half the Red Lined would still be willing to come out and party. Sure they may take back another point but hey! now we have a little game on our hands and beats running for scraps or defending a point and have no reds show up ALL MATCH. This also gives the Reds hope and more enjoyment for them especially those new to the game. We all know this game is not friendly to newbies and can be very off-putting.
2. Blues would have a more active game and check this out. You may actually have more things to hack, rep, remote, shoot and even get more kills in the process!
So when should a game be deemed RL and won? Oh come on. You just know when.
How can this be implemented?
Well as a start all those in active Corps and Squads should discuss this and If you know another language, translating to other sections of the forum would be a good thing. Putting across this idea in team chat when possible would also be a good start.
Yep we will still have blues doing the mad red line rush but if the squads / Sq leaders follow these proposed protocols then this would lessen the chance of boring matches.
What say ye?

 Yeah i know. Maybe something all the 'sync teams' could start doing then? That way the team is singing from the same song sheet  it would be a start at least.

Push them to the red line.
Everybody retreat at once to your own red line.
Call in LAVs (one each) and start LAV racing betwheen the reds. (occasional rad kill is OK, but don't overdo it)
Then when they have capped all nodes, "Operation Recapture" commences and everybody swarms for all nodes at once...
It's hillarious, we had more fun than in most other games, close or not.
There ya go. Thats what i'm talking about.

If PC can get fixed then maybe that would be an option. Pubs ain't gonna happen until there is an open system put in place.
Personally in PC i think the more dirty the better. Theres more at stake and ya wanna boot those cheeky mercs right out of your hood.
Well i feel that having this chat on its own may raise awareness of those that are Sq leaders to actually try it out.
Next time ya all bored looking at a blue/green map have a chat about it amongst ya Sq. If they tell ya to go to hell then blame me 
@ DiGreatDestroyer Brill! nice one, thank you! ;)

Yep thats what i do. Although i do remember one game i couldn't get out of my MCC for dieing once i landed. You nasty Ultramarines you lol.

I think you don't get it, this is not about spawn camping, it's about retreat and recapture of big if not all parts of the map.

Yeah i'm thinking let them have a point, let them feel safe there then let them venture outside in 'hope' of saving their dignity 
Let them come to you since theres no rush and you already own most of the map. Wait and they will come.

I got ya name, number and rank.
Yeah sure thing. 
So folks! any feedback? anyone have a talk within their active Sq/ corps about this tactic? remember its not about farming a CRU/link, its not about honour, its about giving them/us/me hope and as a result get more kills. I had one such contract last night and was boring as hell with both teams having LOW scores/kills due to mercs giving up.
May i suggest everyone does something fun at times like this. To give the other side some time to regroup lets all LAV DEATH RACE! I'm a betting man and willing to put up a little ISK. We tend to do this when bored.
Everyone bets 100k* and the winner takes all! 
First to 5 Laps or the last to survive running into blue tanks along the way is the winner.
Bonus isk prize of 10k* from each merc for the first to RK a red whilst on the track.
Could be a fun thing if we could get 2 full Sq in the same race and on the plus side, If the maps start flashing we all got transports.
*suggested amount only

I Call a dropship and try to bring down the friendly ones 
There we go! whats more fun than having a Death Race in LAVs whilst avoiding tanks and friendly dropships. If the reds dont wanna party then we create one for ourselves. LAV turrets allowed. Hell i think we need to arrange an event lol i won't punish ya honest
