200 Euros? With todays dollar that is another $1,000 or so. OK sarcasm but soon enough.

I was thinking about Eurocon one day but that whole pink car and mustache has me thinking about to the penecillin video. I might have to settle for the stories instead.

Boo

Hey man, don't worry, the euro has the 'PIGS' to hold it low (pigs = Portugal, Ireland, Greece, Spain). Oh yeah, a year and a half ago, I think I  saw Iceland up for auction over at ebay.com.

If some of our top sticks are flying in the group the group doesn't have to be very big to seem like a horde in terms of overwhelming opposition. If there are 10 or 12 of the squad on anmd they all fly at the same time together thats how its going to apprear.

If there is a meaningfull definiton to the horde its when a larger group overwhelm a smaller group purely by weight of mumbers. I flew with "The Few" before i joined and as I am not one of the rampant semi adolescent ego maniacs who we sometimes see stalking these forums I can be reasonably objective. Sure the squad has its ego's but my impression was of a smaller force obliterating a much larger one in short order through superior skill. That is why I wanted to join and have the benefit of flying with and learning from some of the best in the game. My own progress has been slow but I am reasonably happy with it.
Yur squad uses "wingman tactics"....I call it gang raping most of the time.

LOL I love it when any 'squad' starts to think it matters too much.

We're all a bunch of folks sitting at computer screens pretending.  Who cares.  Have fun.

Not sure where you are headed there.  In the last KOTH, my first kill was a squaddie (262 on Sirnuke).  In the next iteration, my Nuke killed me (IIRC) in pony (?).  Of the 30-40 dudes in flight, we sort of ended up next to each other.  I guess we are doing it wrong?

Comments like those, without substance, cheapen any discussion and do nothing but perpetuate this self imposed east coast gang war the squads are having.  This all seems a bit dweebish that the intersquad rivalry has devolved to opportunity low blows.

Why can't we all just get along....  :cry

If we ever run into each other scotch, first rounds on me.   :cheers:

Not quite what Scotch was referring to.   :)
I will elaborate in great detail if The Few wishes me too.  :aok

I am not speaking for the few.  But, sending you a PM.  Just tired of seeing the jabs between the squads.

Same here really I don't speak for the Few. What I will say though is that I spend most time in game with them because they are the squad. That doesn't lead me to summise like some primative tribalist that they must be the best people in the game and superior and more righteous than everyone else.

I think most of us (the vast majority that is) having much in common in wanting to spend so much time in this game would get on in the same squad or having a drink together in a bar. Some of us lose sight of this too our detriment.
