Well Elfmiester, much like most of what you say, you're wrong. There were many times that we ran BZ or AZ out of the arena. Maybe you don't remember because your were one of the score junkies who realized there rank would go down with the hordes of CZ on the prowl. Notice I said maybe. You may even remember the number of times that the arena had to be reset due to CZ having control of the map. I still remember the whining come from your side begging for a reset. I say that's winning the war. Of course that just my opinion.

I recall when MAW first started in AW. They would hit a base and then when resistance showed up they would move to another base and hit that one. (this was the beginning of their *bad rep*) It was also during this time frame that we saw AW people who had been or were Marines IRL giving the MAWs crap about calling theselves *Marines*. Later when their numbers grew they would just over whelm you with numbers. (nothing wrong with that, this is a war after all)
I doubt you remember when MAW started in AW though I appreciate the idea that we made such an impression that you think you remember when we started. It's more likely you remember the early periods when we first had an inpact on your life Air Warriors. As for attacking a base and having no luck then moving on, I'd say most squad do that unless they are dumb or a glutten for punishment. Was this the beginning of our bad rep? You make me laugh. IRL....who the heck is he? I've never even heard of him. You are right about overwhelming numbers which is where the bad rep originated. Of course, that's just my opinion.

I think (and this is just my opinion) that most of the *hate* directed towards MAWs in AW was the because of the smack on channel one when 50 of them raped you 
(kinda like getting jumped in a bar by 10 guys and while you are laying there bleeding one of them gets in your face saying...YEAH!! I KICKED YOUR AZZ!! )
Wrong again. You're good at this. The problem on channel one much like in Aces High was from MAW haters. Same old BS about MAW flies with numbers, you kill one MAW and there's another to shoot you down. You see MAW members are very proud of their squad. Our members consider each other like family. You attack one there's a good chance another will attack you. I'm referring to on chan 1. You attack the whole squad as some do on chan 1 then you will have the whole squad attacking you on chan 1. Now I know I have a few guys that mouth off on chan 1. But I guarantee you their replies are counter attacks every single time. You had the nerve to PM me one time with an assinine remark (been waiting to get you back with that one since you used it on me) to which I countered in a negative manner. You see this is pretty much what happens on chan 1 also known as dweeb chan on my part. As for the rape...LOL again.. If you are stupid enough to come to the bar of your enemy looking for a fight....LOL again.......out numbered.....LOL....we are going to kick your butt, talk about you and send you home whining. Of course, that's just my opinion.

It's also my opinion that BOTH games are sims and as such I've always tryed to survive each mission. (After all real pilots don't auger after bombing thier targets. Kamikaze pilots are the exception, but they only got one auger 
) The other side of this coin is that each person pays their 14.95/month to play as they wish 
I so admire you for wanting to be like a real pilot. But like you said, we all pay 14.95 a month to play. I believe that gives each individual the right to enjoy the game as they please within the rules. Of course that's just my opinion.

Like every squad MAW has good guys, jerks, good sticks, bad sticks, and average sticks.
No arguement here. You got one right. wtg!!! Of course, that's just my opinion.

40Dog...from the perspective of someone who never flew with the MAW, but against them...I have to say this.....It wasn't the fact that MAWs took bases (you guys learned to do this quite well) that earned the ire of your enemies. It was your tactics (thinks like pork 'n auger) and your general attitudes.
I find it kind of interesting you never mentioned the pork n auger until now. But anyway, you know what I enjoyed most in those early days about the pork n auger as you put it. One it brought my squad closer together. If guys were willing to dump their planes for the better of the squad I knew we had something special. The other was that guys like you who only wanted to take advantage of the newbies upped their planes and no one was there to kill. Then after you landed you couldn't up there and we popped in and took your base. Great strategy for a bunch of newbies, eh? As for attitudes, like I said earlier, 99.9 times out of a 100 MAW was only counter punching. I will admit though we had a few MAW (and I only remember 2 off hand) that I had to talk to about their attitudes. But as a whole our guys were professional. Of course, that's only my opinion.

As far as banning them from AW....NO WAY!! you guys were far to much fun to kill 
Still are 
Elfie, as MAW didn't hang around fightertown, I doubt you kill many of us. I however do remember killing you. You were just ELF back then right? Killing you here is a hoot for me too. Of course, that's just my opinion.

For some fighting your way up the ranks with a 500-1 k/d ratio is a fun way of competing, who are we to judge them for that? After all..it IS their 14.95
I must agree. Of course, that's just my opinion.
