Title: Does a Squad's name influence you?
Post by: Getback on October 29, 2008, 01:08:55 PM: When Ghostber posted about the disbanded squads he has joined it started me too thinking about their names. A couple of the names seemed not the sort of names I would like if I were looking for a squad to join.

What squad names would you avoid joining? Here's 3 I would probably stay away from: Never Neverland Rangers, Spongebob Aces, or Dahmer's raiders.

Funny you should mention this, I was just thinking last night that the Dickweeds squadron has an unfortunate name, but is a great bunch of guys nonetheless.

A squadron name to avoid... Fighting manthings.... :rofl

:rofl :rofl

Hilarious that the BBS system changed it to manthings! :rofl

Funny the word is edited out here on the BBS, but allowed in the game as part of a Squad name.

Yeah, Dickweeds are good group and have been around forever. It was a pleasure flying with Turbo the other night.

As for the DHBG, I agree. TurbO runs a great squad.<S>

i can make one though :D

anyway, i would avoid a squad that is attached to ENY rides for the most part, i feel sticky and dirty in them, to damn used to my F4U1A. just my thoughts, others will disagree, and ill catch flack, but its my thought!

Post by: A8TOOL on October 29, 2008, 03:40:45 PM: The funniest one I've seen was 1 Brit and 1 Jew. To keep the squad name short and as is, they can only invite more Brits and Jews
