Obliterate?

Personally, I would forgive her this time. She was flying with a QL so you flight will return quicker. She may have thought she was doing you a favor.

24 hours and 1st place or 2.5 hours and 2nd place...

I understand your frustration but 576 is an awful small amount to put in for wanting 1st.
If that is all you plan on putting in others will have to wait for 5 or 6 more players to join.
Of course that is all a preference type thing, when I start a red and want 1st I usually
put in about 1700. It helps as others can join and be off fairly quickly. But as I said
that is all just a preference.

@Charleene - if you will permit me, if you want to secure 1st place on a red launch you can not do it on the cheap, so to speak. You will need to invest, as @Wired Parrott has said, 1700 or more to avoid it from happening. I normally invest between 1700 and 2000 resource points - the remaining 1000(ish) is split across 2nd, 3rd, 4th place etc.

It is also useful to create a red launch thread and state quite clearly what your plans are for your launch. I always posted the following:

I've just opened up a red flight launch (insert date and time) and have invested 0000 of 3,000 resources so far - 2nd, 3rd, 4th place are up for grabs, for those wishing to join in this flight - it will not be open for long.

Hope this is helpful to you.

@Charleene , your version of the 576 rule is different from what most people here understand. 576 is a QL party rule where the first person to 576 takes first and nobody passes that person. Everyone can join, but no launch until at least 2, usually 3 QL are in.
THEN the person in first adds more points, building it up until it launches. Then everyone can add points tom,sun has quickly, but not pass person in first. First is OBLIGED to add more points to launch quickly and not waste people's QL sitting on the ground for hours doing nothing. So two things... don't call it 576 rule and, explain exactly what you want in the launch instructions. My guess is that most QL owners will not join unless they are going to bed or leaving the game for a few hours. If you take 6 hrs to launch, the QL will probably run out!!!

You kicked out Husam, who was following correct rules and was formerly your great asset. He, like I would be, was happy to have his QL back and use it elsewhere more effectively regardless of wasted points.

If you want first, save enough points to guarantee first. If you add 576, then (as you have been told MANY times) you will always get hijacked, especially from neighbours who do,not read your launches. Do you really think everyone else has got it wrong?

Many thanks for your post - this I did not know, now I do. It is an interesting way of doing a QL party - thanks once again.

It is just one version in QL Party mode where comms are kept to a minimum and not everyone is talking. If people are talking to each other, then the rules are dictated accordingly . That's my understanding, anyway Freestyle launches are all in. I learnt the hard way getting booted several times and I followed up with pms and questions . Nobody in a QL party wants to be stuck for over two hours.

That is exactly what I want in my Launches, But unfortunately not everyone is kind enough to follow

[Husam]

I am the one she kick me out when i join her launch and take first place, when i join and i saw the timer more than 25 minutes left and no move that mean any one can take first and i thought that you still in our private thread member then i know that you are out i dont care about the points its nothing the think is that you just want every time first place with 576 point plus QLs owners join you and you just want to be neighbor with 350 star member and above to support you.
This your way to deal with who join your launch thanks to our private thread and thanks to all my neighbors, me and them we understand each other i am happy that i delete you.
Good luck with your 576 points hope you always find supporter for your points and QLs

You know I figured this "576 rule" probably came from a launch group but
since I just launch and help whenever I get the urge I have never joined
one of these groups. I will say as it was explained above you really should
not expect everyone on the forum to know this "rule" it would be much better
to just write another sentence and spell out your intentions.

I find it kind of rude many have come here and tried to advise you but you
seem to either be ignoring or not caring what others are trying to convey to
you. The members here can be quite helpful and I will say @Husam who you
kicked is a great neighbor to have as well as an alliance mate of mine.
Actions like these are not likely to help you going forward.

Perhaps you will keep posting thanks to new friends/neighbors
as you did in your last launch but my guess that will end soon if you ignore others
wishes and always want it your way. Helping out others is a two way street.
Anyway sorry to babble I just figured I would try and see if I could get you to understand
what and why others are saying these things.

You are one of the good neighbors too and appreciate always your help
