I always loved the kill macros in AW and used them in both FR (where I started as my husband & son - Zeb and Cloud - were there) and in RR (which I 'discovered' after becoming a Game Assistant
)
I think the reason they were not as noticeable in FR was because most of us were tuned to squad vox channels rather than channel 1, and therefore our kill macros only appeared on channel 2. However, as more people left to come here, I often found I was the only squad-member online so I would keep channel 1 tuned instead. I started sending my kill macros over channel 1, much to the annoyance of the macro-haters!
The more they complained, the more I enjoyed it - especially when one person created his own macro complaining about macros!
The best macros by far though were in the RR arenas where they were an acceptable part of the gameplay. I hated the attitude of many of the FR players towards RR players, and started playing in RR more often than FR during the last year or so. OK some of the things were gamey (like landing at an enemy field in a bomber, taxiing into a hangar and having the gunners shoot it down from the inside, or parking a bomber behind the spawn point of an enemy field and shooting them as they spawned) but it was great fun and I'd often be in stitches with laughing so much.
Some of the macros I used over the years were:
Another Foe Felled by Flos!
Killed by a Krait! Hissssssssss!
Killed by a Hell God(dess)!
