Who are the most memorable squads?

I played in AWII but it was pretty short lived.  They really lost a lot of people among all the switching from AOL (AW) to Gamestorm (AWII) to whomever hosted AWIII.

My squad was over 60 on AOL (RR Europe) and got smaller and smaller with every transition as more and more dropped out.

But anyway TC, AWII was open.

Roger that. It was in internal beta in late '95 and opened in '96. I think I started in the beta in November or December. Fidel was there as head trainer and head Game Op. Glad you wacked him...I'm sure he deserved it!!! :D

ASSASSins and AKs all sucked.

Especially that redneck hick Hblair.  :cool: :t


But nobody could suck quite as much as the FDBs did.  I remember all those nights of getting the vulch on.  Those were the days.

I flew with The Black Roses on Gamestorm until the day AW died. Rippe was our CO and Dart the XO. Had a lot of good wingmen HyFly, Cougar, Eagle (who's supposed to be here somewhere), BullDog, Benjammin and a bunch of others who's names escape me. My CPID was =JAG=.

AssAssIns

They're ugly (Milenko), they smell funny (Pongo - though being a Canuck, he couldn't really help it), and they all cheat (especially Hblair).  Hblair was definitely the worst, as he would never fight the FDBs with even odds.  I don't think he'd ever let more than four of us dogfight with him at once before killing us all.  I'm certain that had we ever been able to take him on 10 to 1 we'd have kicked is arse.

Bingo fuel and Winchester were never a tradition here but more a way to put a huge "killme" neon billboard.
Chute shooting was also a tradition here until for a inexplicable reason it was removed (HALO jumping was fun).



And SOB(sanglot) still suck.

Hehe, got to digging through some old floppys and found 1 labeled "AW3 Last Days".

One of the films on the disk is the final fly-by and festivities including a massive group kill macro that scrolled and scrolled. :rofl

I may see if I can get the old AW front end up, view and capture the video and port it to YouTube for grins.

Regards,
Sun

That was Big-T's bunch...

JG26 was originally an RR#2 squad started by Raid. biggest "Adversary" was Lynx's bunch (416??). Also had the 82nd eliminators (VET). ZZ3 and others. When JG26 broke up many of us (STICK, YES, PILES, LAGHEAD to name a few) joined with a squad coming from "bigpac" to form 327th steel talons. I left the RR world to go FR and eventually most of the top RR sticks/squads did as well. I left AW in 99 (after the con, moss clued me in to AH there) and eventually of course most of AW followed....

Of course that will forever remain an untestable hypothesis, because anytime there are more than 2-6 FDBs in the same sector (the exact number depends on K, the effective beer multiplication factor) you reach critical bastard mass, resulting in an uncontrollable squad fragging chain reaction.

I know it was 96 for me and I had to explain one of those bills to the Mrs.


AW was free on AOL well before 96 I moved to Phoenix in 1990 and was still in the 1sr house we rented. We bought in early 94....so I was on AW on AOL 93 at the latest....

***at edit***

Looking on the net AW on genie was $3 in late 93, AW was on AOL before Win95 came out. I started briefly in the $3 timeframe and was there almost from day one on AOL. I vaguely remember some type of premium but it wasnt anywhere near the $3/hr.
