About 5 years ago I flew with a squad called the ASSASINS for about a year. Then I switched over to fighter ace, because my first WW2 sim which was Air Attack and I wanted to try out the upgraded version. Flew there for a year or two, took a break going back to the old old air attack, which basically has atari graphics but have a few buddies there and and its good for acm, just arcade flight model. Anyways, I've been back for about 3 months, really enjoying it and the Claim Jumpers. I was just wondering if anyone has seen a guy by the name BigMax, He was the best 1v1 stick in the game at the time, and if anyone remembers him they will vouch for that fact. I dont know if he is still around or changed his tag.
Would sure like to know. Also is there any way to find out what your old tags used to be here? I've flown by a few over the years and was wondering if theres a way to find that out. Could of been LiquidIce

Never heard of BigMax until your post. Guess he just didn't leave all that much of an impression.
ack-ack

BigMax may have not played AH very much. You may wanna check the WB Forums, and then the Fighter Ace Forums.
WB =

BigMax used to play alot, one heck of a D-9 driver, but could fly anything real well.
Prayerz, the Assasins are no more. I was the last active Assassin and last I heard from BigMax he was playing EverQuest 2.
I only occasionally play these days and when I do I generally play for the team with the lowest numbers. Glad to see you are enjoying the game again though. :)

I have not seen BigMax in about a year or so
-
Looks like tour 82 was the last time he flew....11/06

Yes he could. I haven't seen him in a long while, either.

I haven't heard from BigMax in forever. Hblair chimed in on the O-Club today, so at least I know he's still alive.
I do miss The Assassin gang.....hblair, BigMax, milenko, Regurge, Jekyll(and other names....that was his WB handle), Lizard3, Wlfgng, Zigrat.......those were fun days.
The Assassin squad forum is still up, but you rarely see posts in there anymore.
Prayerz, what was your handle back then? I flew as eddiek, just like my BBS handle. I was the oddball Jug fanatic who wouldn't fly anything else if I had a choice, so that made me a little behind hb and the others getting to altitude and the fights.
-
Tough to say he was the best...I don't know if you can really call anyone the best....but.........
He was among the top three, no doubt in my mind. I flew in his squad a while, he taught me a lot - most of it I couldn't do. :)
He and I were flying at around 10K one time, I watched him CLIMB his Typhie into a flock of enemy about 14K. I am guessing there were 10 of them. I shot down 1 then died. He landed 7 from that flight. I don't care who you are, that was awesome flying.

He was hit by Katrina, and has not been flying since around that time. He was doing well when we exchanged emails a few months ago. You can PM me for his address if you want it.
FYI guys, BigMax was an AH Trainer, and then left the Corps to join the AH Events team and host the King of the Hill event from 2002-2005.
-
Not sure what my handle was, thats why i was wondering if there was a way to find that out.
I remember coming to the game and was one of the best 1v1 in air attack so i wanted some training.
Flew with one trainer and he was impressed with my flying and told me he couldnt take me much farther, so refered BigMax saying he was one of the best in the game. Well we met up and he schooled me but
invited me into his squad. Well IIRC about a week into the game some guy challenged him in the MA so we left
and met up with the guy in the DA, the map was much different then the one is now. But he told the guy
to 1v1 me first, i whooped up on him. The guy went on about how he has been flying for 4 + yrs then max went on to tell him this was my first week lol. Then offered the guy help, which he rudely passed on.
Im not sure if anyone will even remember me eddie even if my name is found, never posted that i recall on forums there. Might of been Liquid, LiquidIce, LpLiquid, Prayer....wish i could find out. I was decent, but not great. I remember the squad going to like DA room and we would all duke it out in zero's just messing around and B/Sing on Vox. Hard to because when i went to Fighter Aces newest version right after i went into another elite squad, so they kind of blend together.

At least you're still trying. Try to be a little more optimistic.
Been a long time since I've seen BigMax. JB's and a few of his bunch used to fly alot together in the old Combat Theater. Good times. He was a good stick.
:salute
-
Yep it was good times and he was a good stick. Haven't seen him for years.
-
I remember BigMax from when he was CM, he was a good guy.

O yes, of course i remember BigMax, great stick, i didn't see him for awhile,was bussy building his house, he posted some pics on KOH forum, few months after Katrina hit his area in Mississipi.
-
BigMax is a great guy. I got together with him down in Mississippi years ago. Back in the day, NathBDP and I won a hard-fought 2v2 tournament against BigMax and, I think, Lizard3.
Good times.
-
Bigmax made me aware of my true skill level on more than one occasion.
-
BigMax was the best I ever saw. I once watched him climb (CLIMB) his Typhie into 7 cons and kill them all. He taught me a lot, which I put to good use (back when I played a lot more).

only a 13 month old thread.... nice bump

BigMax posted in the KOTH forum @ Aug. of this year (2009)
He seemed to be doing well and was hopin' to be flying soon.

:lol :aok

I think Pongo is still around here somewhere.......Elfie, I'm not sure if he flies much anymore.
I think the originals(in AH) were hblair, Milenko, myself, Wlfgng, Lizard3, and a couple others who I can't recall off the top of my head.
Along the way, we picked up regurge, Citabria/Glue/Fester, Zigrat, Pongo, moose, BigMax, his brother Jekyll......dang, I can't remember all of the crew now.
At one time, we had a guy from down under who would always wing up with us......can't remember his name now, but he kept me laughing with his Aussie humor!
<S> Assassins! A bunch of fun guys and awesome virtual pilots! :cheers:

The current scoring database extends from 22nd January 2002 when it went to 3.0.
The one and only truly elite squadron in FA was The Damned 2002-2005. May they rest in peace. I've always strived to try and get anywhere near that level of teamwork and wingmanship but I don't know whether we ever will, maybe one day.

BigMax... fellow Mississippian.. good damn stick... :salute

See this is why I like you. 'Tis a rare thing to have command of the language sufficient to allow deniability in the midst of such a crass message. ;)
(Although I remember Bigmax well)

I still have an old AH1 film of BigMax in an LA7 leading my Spit IX on a chase on the deck. I turned the film on just to figure out who the pain in the rear LA was. Never did catch him :)
