Heya lefty !

Whatever happened to those guys? I sat next to Mili at the convention in 1997 (Houston), he was a hoot. He flew with his face about 6 inches from the screen and his speakers up at deafening levels, probably to drown out the stream of obscenities he hurled at his virtual oponents (who could not hear anything, long before vox). He had to stop to wipe the spittle off his screen from time to time too.

Vila was a class-act in every since, a true gentleman, and his ever present wingman Worr as well. Haven't seen those guys since shortly after ICI sold WB to crazy-Bill or whoever that jackarse was.

Let me assure you, I can't take Drex.  I may have nailed him once or twice, but he basically would eat my lunch.  We went at each other in Jugs more than once, and he kills me 3-1 easy.  Drex is the master of making you overshoot, and I never could quite roll a Jug around as well as he can at low speed, let alone shoot as well.  My specialty has always been E fighting and using my head, not my piloting skills.  There is a reason I fly a jug you know.  Actually there are 8 of them, and the huge piles of ammo that go with those reasons. :aok   Hint:  It's not because I'm a good shot.  Heh.

BTW, my handle always contained "leph", short for "Lephturn" back when we only got 4 letters.  I've been around since Warbirds, just after beta.  I was recruited by Worr to the Pigs ,and spent quite a while as a trainer in AH.  Anyway... good times. :)  I just have to grab me a stick I can drag around with my laptop (I travel for work) and I'll log back in and try out my trusty Jug again.  TnB sub-dweebs (TM-Smut) beware!

Now I have to scrabble around and find my old stick setups, gunsights, and view sets... anybody have a good place to grab some gunsights?

I haven't heard from Mili for a while.  Squid got hasn't flown for a long time, but I ping him in email from time to time.  Worr was around on and off, even in some different squads since I've flown I believe.  Vila is about now and again.  Many of us are still in touch via our email list.  XX, Ichi, Duke, Supe, Roamer, Vila, Smut, Snak, and of course Dr. Gonzo.  I know I'm missing some folks... but many of us are still in touch.  Being a Pig is bigger than any one game. :)

Oink!  To War!

Anybody know of a good compact stick I can travel with?  I think I can run this thing on my laptop, and I've a hankering to fly something with WAY too many .50's.


Hey Leph ... I have been on the receiving end of your 50s, albiet I was quite the noob at the time, but I also watched you in action too. You are being quite modest.

Drex ... who the hell is this Drex guy everybody keeps talking about ? ...  ;)

There are many good gamers but if I had to make a list based on my experiences it would definately have these guys in the top 5.

Levi
YUCCA
HONDO
ElevenK
Herblife


I'm sure I'm forgetting someone and will hear about it but, that is my list of top 5 gamers or "figter pilots" (if you will).

Listen we know you robots don't like humans.:D

Actually - Lev may just be version 2.0 of DREX 1.0.  Do we have confirmation that Drex is actually human LOL
