If you occasionally miss the old days...
« on: March 24, 2008, 11:13:40 AM »
...it is still possible to find a couple of out-of-the-way bases and engage in some good old-fashioned 1v1s.  Kong and I were lucky enough to find ourselves in such a circumstance last night.  Good fights, very enjoyable, highly recommended if you simply want to get away from the war for a bit.

Dirigible.... Isn't that some sort of rodent?

No, dirigibles are those new-fangled balloons that have a frame inside the envelope.  They fill them with some sort of gas, instead of the tried-and-true wood fire smoke.  I am skeptical that they will ever amount to much.

Is that one of those things where you have to push those new things called pedals that are connected to those other inventions called chains, sprockets and propellers?

I remember back in the day when you got a big fan and flapped it around in the wind to maybe go close enough to throw a sharp rock at someone. That was if you were luck enough to steal a big hand held fan.

 :aok I will keep that in mind.  There are really some good sticks here.  I call N72 a cheat every time I  see him.   :devil

I would love to fly against him just once where he doesn't make me feel like he is flailing a raptor about my  :rolleyes: neck twisting, soon to be a flaming heap, dirigible.

Hehe that's the G rated version of what were usually thinking about N7. 

Quiet as a mouse too, very worthy of respect.

Actually N7 is like Joesy Wales. He speaks with his guns, one of the very best sticks in the game IMO.
