Ahhhh, that takes me back - all the way back to Air Warrior days, playing an MMO pre-internet. There was a group of players that all knew each other... somehow. Playing single player flight sims, maybe? Anyway, they would all gather together at pre-arranged times and take off together. They were, however, very new to the game - and playing against nice, fair-minded AIs in video games is not like playing against humans. So, when they took off, they were pretty easy to shoot down. What's more, they didn't seem to understand the concept of "there's an enemy swarm at this airport, we should go to another" - so they would keep trying to take off. They would be lucky to get their engines turned on before they would get destroyed.
They did figure it out pretty quickly, but everyone else playing also starting figuring out when that group would play. People would log in specifically so they could feast upon them.
I, of course, would
never do such a thing. Oh no! I was the guy that took a bomber over to blast the automated flak defense turrets. And maybe a few fighters would get blown up by the bombs, too. (I had to be careful - if too many bombs hit the landing strip, it gets closed and the feast will have to move.)
