Anyway. Had a good time today in the game.

I still suck, but I always did. I think that the skill level of the average player is very, very high compared to back in the day. There's not as many people but they all seem to be really good.

He gets down and dirty quite a bit. Spends time in a 109 also. Thing is he KNOWS a D9 backwords and forwards and is an amazing shot. His squadie Silent is just as good.

No he doesn't. Only with numerical advantage or ack do you find him down there. He's an opportunistic picker and runner who has prioritised risk-assesment and score instead of ACM and further benefits from a laggy connection for front-quarter shots. He flies the G14 because of ENY and players who primarily pick are often good shots.

Effective and skilful are two different things. One of those is good for the general experience of the game. The other takes from it selfishly.

I do have a squad and I do play the game.
I never claimed that you didn't.

I'm not sure what your point was, Spikes.

look at the join date of everyone in this thread. The people I actually know; Sparky, BJ22, Slamfire. I know Sparky has an account. No one has been banned from the forum that I know of. I was banned in 2008. I came back in 2019 and I emailed Dale to let him know it was me (nuke) to be open about it.

This thread is not a troll.

maybe go do some AH Staff CM stuff instead of disparaging people.

I recommend that The Watched fly in the October Scenario "Operation Husky".

It's what a top squad would do!  :aok

Details and registration:

Back when I flew more in the MA, there was a guy on Elite Top Aces Plus One Mexican who was the one Mexican and who I used to fight from time to time.  He was quite good.  I'm trying to remember the name.  Was it cmex?

Thanks, Brooke

I checked the links out and you put a lot of work into it. I might try to show up as a walk-on. I've never played a scenario. I'll probably screw something up.

Just letting a newer member of the game who thinks that this thread is serious that it is in fact not serious. :)

it is serious. It was presented in what is known as humor.

You are incorrect in everything you said.

Hmm, alright. In that case will you be removing yourself from the squad as you don't possess a 9/1 K/D? :)

Back to the topic.

I spoke with Slamfire last night and he's looking to repair his rudders and get back into the game. We used to have an annual FW Holiday Visit.

I still have one of our stickers on my fridge. One year I sent out patches. Several people still have them.



We have a lot of fun.

The squad name is currently The Wrong Stuff. I forgot that it was still active. Anyone can join. We fly around disorganized and have fun chatting on vox and doing fun stuff.

It's impossible to screw things up.  :aok

As long as you are having fun, it is a great success.  :aok

Were you born without a sense of humor or did you have yours surgically removed?
