Define it??? Hell, I can't even spell it!!!


Suggestive of or characterized by expediency, deceit, and cunning.

:)

I think Shane's might be a better definition. :D

it was about the same time frame...  RJO's came maybe a bit after the influx (but not by long)... as i don't recall RJO's when I was flying rooks while they were in the bucket.

the influx probably helped the RJO's be more effective than they would have wihtout it.

NB: same definition, just in a more easily comprehensible language for HT.

:p

Let me speak with a bit of authority as one of the people that was involved with begining of the RJO.  

You are incorrect

Back in October 2001 the 327th Steel Talons, 412th “Fighting Brauncos”, Cactus Air Force, ^”^Nazgul^”^, and Nightmares VMF-101 got together and decided to starting trying to change things by conducting joint operations every several weeks.

From RJO

It really goes even farther back than that.  Back in AW several Bz squads got together and did large scale Joint Ops.  Some of this was to counter the Cz Sunday Mauling,  Some was to just to work together as team.    

When The CAF moved here earlier in 2001 we got in touch with BFD (dawg) and Ghostdancer about getting some joint things going.   shortly after this, several other AW Squads arrived that we were comfortable working with and the ball really got rolling.  

Official RJOs started then in Octorber of 2001.  

That was well before Bishop and Knight squads came to our aid because of unbalance

Grimm...

So, what you are saying is that you ran RJO's for over a year...and the Bish/Knits didn't notice :).

The rest is third grade level flying....

Knight and proud of it.


Well glad you got THAT burr out from under your saddle.

I think we need to all wear badges or something that indicates our game style preference.  I too am not interested in field capture.  So Mr. Lee we have more in common than we thought eh?

LOL....    

Well,  Back then we didnt have such a Horde.    The First or Second RJO I CiCed we did a reset and had less numbers than the largest country.    Aaaa..  life was simpler then  ;)

Didnt really matter who noticed,  It was Fun.  

Some of those RJOs were not set on Resets,  Some where just Crazy Ideas for something fun to try.    Something we all need to try to remember,  Make it fun!
