Has anyone mentioned Assassins? They were a lot of fun to engage in early AH. Good sticks.

No doubt...

The Shills and the Damned.

Great bunch of people and DmdGE taught me much of what I know in AW.
Most of the people you meet in life are like slinkies. Pretty much useless, but still bring a smile to your face when you push them down the stairs.

Not sure on the cops bunch, but when I started in AW in 96 the "name" squads then were the Muskies, Shills, Damned, Brewster Buffs, Skulls, JG54, JG27, Blacksheep, Dover Dawgs etc.

I helped form the Nomads in October 96 and the 479th was about then too.  The Specialists were flying then as were the Knights who say Ni!

Because on AOL you could have multiple screen names, the Nomads originally was a Shades squad with guys from all countries and different squads.  It was hush hush for a long time before many of us finally made it our primary squad.  

When the arenas multiplied in AW there were lots of other squads that set up shop in those places that I didn't get to know.

I don't know that I paid as much attention to what squads were what when I started flying AH.

Hey Guppy,  I started in AW in '96 too.  Specifically June of '96 through AOL.  I was an AZ (^Crsh).  Where you at in MN?... Minnetonka here.

Ah, yes, the good old AOL days.

The Knights Who Say Ni! are still around in one form or another after coming over to AH for awhile.  They're now a reasonably successful guild in World of Warcraft on the Uldum server (including old hands like Honch, Yams, Wulfi, and me).

Geez, buncha kids responding...:)

The Fubars (AW & AH)

The laughs I had with the Fubars kept me in the game long after it became boring. Probably not more than 5 or 6 people that read these boards remember them from AW. I still get a whistful smile thinking about the fun (ever wonder where the sheep stuff came from?). :)
