Where did the year go?
« on: December 21, 2013, 12:10:01 AM »
Well another one in the books.

I would like to thank the squad leaders and players who make this event so popular, the great guys at the Terrain Team for the cool terrains we need!, the bouncer, setup and admin CMs, and of course Hitech Creations for giving us a home to do these WW2 events in and all the folks there.

On behalf of the FSO Team I wish you and yours a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. All the best in 2014.  :cheers:

Same to all of you.

Keep the great work up and the story will continue in 2014!

 :salute Warloc.  You are a good man to work for.  Until you look behind the green curtain, most people have no idea how much blood, sweat and tears go into planning an event like this.  Try an experiment.  Get 30 people of all personality types and backgrounds together at work and see if you can agree on where to go get lunch.  30 people won't agree.  Now multiply that 10 fold.  That 300 people come together on a Friday night to all particpate in one event is magic.  It's like herding cats . . . But it all works.  Some through the efforts of the CM's and CIC's.  But mostly, through the efforts of the players.  Officially, I am not suppose to place FSO in any position over the other events.  But it is.  FSO is the best part of the game.  We get custom arenas, plane matches and missions are planned carefully, the rules are stricter for  the engagement, and you wind up with maybe, a moment of fame.  I am not sure how it is for you guys.  My squad practices for FSO 2 nights a week.  And then on Friday, after a tough week, a little alcohol, alot of planning, and some really tasteless jokes, it all unfolds on a computer screen.  I still say Hitech has invented a chatroom with something to do . . .  Funny game.  CYA in 2014!

I love this event!

Plissken hit the nail on the head.  :old:

Great event with great peeps.  G3-MF truly appreciates what the CM team puts into this event to ensure long boring flights with sudden bursts of pure excitement. 

 :O  :joystick:   :airplane:   :x   :furious 

We look forward to 2014 with you all in the FSO community.

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!!!  Safe holidays all!

<S> Vilkas!
There must also be a flyable computer available for Nefarious to do FSO. So he doesn't keep talking about it for eight and a half hours on Friday night!

About a year ago, I decided to take a little leave of absence from the game.  After awhile, the call of FSO began to push its way thru.  I came back to find that it was almost like I left it, which is a great feeling.  The CM staff took me back and the rest is history.  I look forward to flying with my squad and friends in 2014.  Grab your checklists, flight suits, and drinks, and will see you in the skies  :cheers:
