5 seconds looking at the score board would have prevented you from such a humiliating statement.

I confess, all AK's are moderators, just relax, have fun.

Muting Channel 1 is the first thing I do.  I'll use it but it's very infrequent.

Did get muted one time though, it was an automated deal.  Interesting, I wasn't aware it could happen up to that point.

I'm not in the habit of swearing like a fiend, or even using terms such as "Facestudmuffin" or "buttered puck queen" in front of young kids.  I'll swear like a sailor in front of people my own age, but kids need a little better example.

What other people do is their business.

However if I had a kid online, I would show him how I use squelch  -  and how he should use squelch  -  and why the guys who don't use squelch are dweebs.     Personally I just don't care for the whole moderator thing, but that's just me.

F***'n great, not only do I owe Toad a gazillion dollars, now I'm humiliated.

Man, we should keep this thread going for a few more pages.  There's no telling how retarded it could get...hell it may even be able to break through the great 'tard barrier and cover new ground (tho' I doubt it).  Carry on!

Is it just me or does anyone else think it's suspicious that only one guy in this thread is calling other people moderators? Like directing the suspicion away from himself by pointing to other folks?

Anyone ever get a mute with an "eh?" in it?  

[Hornet]

I wholeheartedly agree with Hornet but will also add that IMO you should save all that reminiscing and woefull yearning for the glorious past for the reunions and for sharing with other people who will fawn over this "legacy."

Don't think we're quite on the same page Oedipus. Quick summary:
1. Shane likes to run his mouth, that's cool
3. One of his witty catch phrases is "facestudmuffin"...ok whatever
4. Grizzly is Shane's bestest friend....also great
5. Grizzly rushes to defend Shane by invoking the AW Cods to make "facestudmuffin" appear less dweeby...BS

Do I value AW history? Damn straight I do. But part of that ethos is holding your own...either with the pen or with the sword. Hiding behind history wouldn't have held up in the Crash&Burn and is similarly derided here. I think if you want to honor that past, do it by applying the lessons taught to you, hold yourself to a higher standard. Sometimes, I'm sad to see, more AWers went the other way when they moved to a new pond and it hurt our name w/the larger sim community.

To give you a straight answer to the question. I think AW's last real (widely used) conribution to the lingo, or "slanguage" as it were was possibly during the 2000 Ploesti scanario.

It was the phrase "I CALL roadkill!" and is attributed to a CO that was having a total and utter melt-down. It then became a running gag and no doubt shows up (or will show up) in scenarios here. Though at the time there was no humor about it, it's now used more than not to poke fun at something.

I for one am proud that "my" event contributed a little (and perhaps the last) peice of "language lore" before AW washed out and we all came to AH.

i like to think that ex-AWers have contributed greatly to scenarios (as well as the Scenario Corps).

the problem with oedipus and his ilk, is that they are anal retentively focusing on a few vocal people (in the MA) and not recognizing the vast majority of more silent ex-aw types and their contributions to gameplay (some poitive, some negative).

they're as guilty of living in the "past" as much as they claim ex-AWers are.

the very kind of dweeb i so love getting torqued - those who think *their* way is the way to go, and anything "different" is to be trampled upon with their high horse.

[Ratbo]

Conversely, it's also true that the average Bigweeker comes from a scenario play mindset.  In the MA they tend to appear juvenile because of the "make 'em scream" mentality because they enjoy torquing the panties of dweebs into a knot because it's just plain fun to do. This however, obviously does little to enhance the image of AW types to the average arena hampster.

And this is not new to the AH thinggie, as you recall the Bigweekers would often plan and scheme a mass "raid" on an unsuspecting AW RR arena for the sole purpose of "making them scream".

Yes, it's in the area of *scenarios* that the AW refugees shine much more brightly and the positive contributions are very notable.

Hardly a contribution on par with Ho's Monkeys. Then again, few things EVER will be on par with that.  So don't just go looking for trouble with unfair comparisons. YOU asked for something recent and I *think* that phrase could the last AW contribution to the "common lore" language base.

"I CALL roadkill!" will no doubt appear in the AH *scenario* forums, I'd be shocked if it hasn't already reared it's head a time or two.

"Porked" doesn't look like much on face value either but it carries across the genre. And well, the sheep.  Say what you want, but those sheep will always belong to us

??? *That* was a contribution? That is on par with Ho's Monkeys? And what ddo you consider "widley" used? BW people or the  flight sim/game  genre?

[Ratbo]

Well....  AW is dead, and WB might as well be because HT and Pyro aren't there.  

So I consider AH  *the* genre and the true heir apparant to the AW legacy, for better or worse depending on the issue.

I of course will forever chuckle when I see the phrase - though at the time it was coined I thought my hair was gonna fall out.

  I hnoestly have no doub it will. And from ex-AW's expressly. But that it will become a  flightsim genre phrase?
