Goof off AH day?

[toonces3]

Hi all.
I don't know if this has ever been done.  I remember reading about back in the old days there were eggs you could discover in the maps, like dragons or big beer cans or something.

Anyway, I had this idea over Halloween, and forgot about it, and it occured to me again today in my ocean acoustics class:

Has there ever been, or could there ever be, a sort of 'joke' or 'goof off' day in one of the arenas?  By that, I mean folks would log on, and in the plane set there would be something goofy like Snoopy's doghouse, or a magic carpet, or a B-52 or something.

I think it would be hilarious to log on and folks were zipping around in Snoopy's doghouse Red Baron style.  
 
I know this is totally stupid, but I was thinking about it today, and well, there it is.

See ya,
Toonces

Sounds interesting, but shouldn't this be in the wishlist section?

Toonces, I've seen a few oddball things, and I'll relate my experiences. On Christmas Eve, HiTech beats up his dad and gets on his PC, and fires up the magical sleigh and reindeer, flying around saying "ho ho ho mary crismus[sic]". People whine incessantly about the dark, and how much night sucks. They threaten to quit.

Once, they were doing some equipment maintenance or something, and IIRC, there was no score. As a gag, the only plane enabled was the P40-B. The whining surpassed Christmas Eve. They threaten to quit.  

During the convention, the RV-8 was enabled, complete with the GUA8a whatever- the giant 30mm rotary cannon of death or something.  You'd think HT had personally skewered, barbequed, and consumed someeone's firstborn. They threaten to quit.

Whenever some measure is taken to liven things up a bit, people just start pissing and moaning and acting like the world has ended. There have been other instances I'm sure, but those are the ones that I recall most clearly. The christmas episode repeats annually. It could be fun, but the whiners suck the joy out of it.

Good times. It was then and there I knew HT was the current reincarnated form of Loki von McJokesterburg.

there was the CON night where the 163 was first brought in.... think we were on the pizza map that night too....the crying was heard miles away.....

then there was the night of flying PT boats...wakes and all !!!

During one convention, HiTech introduced flying PT Boats. My brother, FlaydONE had a great time as he discovered where HiTech himself was spawning his PT a few thousand feet in the air, and proceeded to fly around it in circles, effectively camping it in a flight of B26 "gunships". HiTech died to Flayd's waist gunners a few times.

Evil Con Mission 2002 - Trojan sheep which could be walked, run or warped around the map. Each sheep carried 6 50 cals  At one point we lined up on opposite sides of an NME RW and opened up as players tried to take off.

Funny as hell and yeah, lotta p.o'd players who threatened to quit

The sad part is, is there dont have to be any special occasion for people to whine to no end, i think we should let them quit;)

This is something I wish they had more of, as I understand it, back in the day they did have night flying in the MA, but a couple whiners about it and it was taken out.  I think it adds another level to the game to do night flying, and if you just turn up your gamma some you can see fine, when I go in offline mode I set it to night and I can see con's easily.

Also how about maybe some flying Hover rounds or Rascals?  You know those scooters you see on tv for old people, now that would be funny to dogfight that.

It's so Hip to complain!! ....it makes you look cool!  ....NOT!



I used to love night flying! ....and I loved the AK pizza map as well,  yet both were beat down by the cry baby's.

Let's make some changes so the Cry baby's quit! ....and I hope the door hits them on the butt when they leave!

When was that giant squid in the game Murdr, that thing looks cool.

It was on the mindano map in AH1.  All the map easter eggs were lost in the transition to AH2 because only standard shapes were allowed at first.
