"Ferb", Pieper's twin brother had never played untill after his brother died, gosh, if my twin brother had played this game I'm pretty sure I would have played also.

"Ferb", Piepers twin brother sounds just like Pieper on vox, of course, they are twins.

"Ferb", Piepers twin brother will probably have similar styles of flying and fighting because of the genetic coding of course.

And simplified:

"If you have two theories which both explain the observed facts then you should use the simplest until more evidence comes along"

"The simplest explanation for some phenomenon is more likely to be accurate than more complicated explanations."

"If you have two equally likely solutions to a problem, pick the simplest."

"The explanation requiring the fewest assumptions is most likely to be correct."

Any link to an obit?

I don't understand why the community can't take things seriously.

I'm sure Ferb is a little bit distraught at this time.  While I don't know what it's like to lose a twin, I do know what it is to lose a friend.
 
I had a hermit crab when I was young.  He liked his little sponge in his water, and he preferred his food pellets crushed.  I only fed him once or twice a week, but we also saw each other throughout the day. I know it's not the same, but I was pretty sad when his shell was on it's side and his big claw was pinned under it.  I don't know if it was disease or not.  He kept to himself and didn't really burden me with his troubles.

Anyways, we should prolly wait until Ferb can attend, or give input.  I assumed he was on the forums.

We're trying to organize a memorial flight for a fallen player, wouldn't you like to help instead of being a stick in the mud?

Oak, just relate it to an homage to Jim Tressel or Tyrelle Pryor.

Now you know what we are saying?  You should pay respect to those who deserve it for their class.

I understand what you are saying, but this thread is as skuzzy says, "going nowhere"

Can not argue on that.   :salute

I'm sorry if you don't find the motives of myself and Assi to be nothing but genuine in honoring a fallen player.  Sure, Pieper may not have been liked by a large portion of the community but some of us have known him for years.  When his twin brother logged on teh other night and told us between flaming people on Channel 200 and talking politics that Pieper had passed a way a couple of days ago, Assi and I felt that it would be nice to honor Pieper with a fallen man formation with his twin brother Ferb leading the formation.

We do it for other players, why not for Pieper?

This thread's timing is in very bad taste, since a valued member of the community did just pass away.
