With the likes of you joining my estimation of the skill of this so called new squadron "The Damned" just plummeted
Im assuming this post is just another bait and troll hoping for a dumpster fire, I'll bite.

Why even reply?.
Let this soap opera die.
No attention and people like this dissappear.
Play what's left of the game, let these guys seek attention elsewhere.

Every squad has various roles and Vraciu has taken both our resident "aircraft skin subject matter expert" (ASSME) and is also our endurance testing expert for aircraft sorties.

Every team needs it's water carrier.

You mentioned earlier that you have Skyyr tell you what to do over coms how to win a duel in real time. So dueling you in effect would be just like dueling Skyyr and I've already dueled him before, ergo I've already dueled you and therefore have no reason to.

Game and forum have changed a lot during my time in here, which is not so long. And that change is really not positive. Looks like few individuals with their shades are trying to empty the MA and force Dale to close the whole thing. Personal revenge?

I was expecting exactly something like that from you. Arrogant, selfish and rude. But every internet platform has self declared elite dunghill roosters, who enjoy mocking those, who they see as newcomers and less skilled. Tells something about self esteem. Or rather, lack of it.
Take care, you brave one.

WHAT?????? HMM, he isn't still in Squad, I have noticed. Context? Something happened and Damned booted him? Ya Ya, I am a Simp,Sis!🤣 Eh? That doesn't jive with me. Pretty sure Flipps dropped out because Vraciu joined? Must be some 'Old School Beef', that I am not privileged to? I seem to remember a bunch of animosity between Flipps and Vraciu? Is what it is.

Not the original, no. Most of them are playing DCS now, but I was flying with a few of them in here for a bit hence why I joined their squad. Skyyr started his own squad damned when he started. Many in the original squad were not too happy about that.

I was going to say,...I've known many of the originals since 90-ish. Most flew P-38s. I knew at least some had migrated.
Pretty low level antic. These best pilots ever? No chance.
I'd be POed too, but it seems that's in the design.
Not even worthy of acknowledgement.

We (myself and Kruel) were part of a group in Fighter Ace called "The Damned" (arguably the most famous in terms of winning competitions and dominating leaderboards, but that's irrelevant to this discussion). We came here and started up the same squad with the same name in 2013. I joined The Damned in FA back 2000/2001 and Kruel joined around 2004-2005, I believe.
There was never an attempt to troll or otherwise impersonate another squad. We had our own insignia (see my avatar), motto, website, everything. It was simply coincidence that another squad shared the name here in AH.
-
The gaming MMO equivalent of stolen valor.
Disgusting.
-
To the best of my recollection & knowledge:
The Damned (original version) formed in Air Warrior in the late 1980's when the sim was offered by way of GeNIE. The founder and CO was named Ptero.
At which point AW was available vis Gamestorm on AOL, (circa 1996) the squad flourished in numbers. At which point AW was bought out by Electronic Arts (circa 2000 - 2001) who quickly killed it off (AW3) there were approx. 90 - 100 active members of The Damned. The squad motto = "Damned if we do; no fun if we don't"
After AH1 transitioned from Beta, The (original) Dammed approached Hitech Creations and convinced Dale to drop the subscription price from $29.95 to $14.95. The forementioned 90 - 100 active Damned formed 3 sub squads due to the 32 member limitation. They originally settled in Nit land, which had low numbers at that time. (Rooks dominated) Some months later we (I was DamnedMax back then) transitioned to Bishops, who at the time, were the low number country on the Totem Pole.
Mortal squad rivalries included Arabian Knights, LTAR'S and MAW. CO's : DamnedEgger, DamnedSilat & TC.
Thanks for your attention...and now, back to the FUSS :old:

Just fyi
The Damned didn’t start up in AH, it was in AW created in 88ish. 12 yrs prior.
There are Two AKs but not same titles.
Your Damned is not the one and only. Nor is AW created Damned a substitute. You would be considered a substitute. Highly skilled P-38 jockies. In 38s they would prolly stomp you both.
Pretty sure the Damned set their squad in AH in 99. I’m sure there was a squabble in 2000.
The AW then AH and now DCS based squad is a cherished name, so you both understand its going to draw negatives. Any old skewl players will view your Damned as a fraud. Some will think they are joining the original 1988 squad, they will feel duped.
This post was probably designed to cause drama. It seems to encompass you two.
To each their own. Not my monkey not my circus. Expect negative.

Yup, this.
As far as the stolen valor charge goes:
How many iterations of "Tigers," "Cougars" or any other variant of big game cat names and logos permeate the sports world? Plenty is the answer. I played all the aforementioned sims and there were plenty of JG-XX's, Gunfighters, VF-XX's and all other cool names for squads all over the mmo landscape and most weren't related to each other in any way. They're just cool names to take when you're forming a squad. "Damned" is a cool name. I think George (Pterodactyl) Walsh originally chose Damned because his dad had something to do with VF-81 in real life back in the day. It's a really cool name and I'm glad Ptero chose it. I enjoy the legacy he and his Damned formed over the years and I'm proud I got to be a tiny, tiny piece of it.
I have no issue with there being another Damned out there, they have their legacy and we have ours. Do fans of the Clemson Tigers, Princeton Tigers or LSU Tigers get their teams, players and legacies mixed up? Nope. Are they able to cohabitate in the scene? Yup.
Stolen valor isn't the case at all here, It's a cool name in a video game.

It doesn’t bother me. I’m speaking how others will see it.
There was a “Flying Tigers AVG” in AW, another guy created “Flying Tigers 135th”, which I ended up as CO. As you stated, cool name, but we never squabbled as we differentiated intensionally to avoid it. AVG was a FR based squad, 135th was an RR based squad. AVG was kinda shrinking at the time. I’m a one person squad as “Flying Tigers” since there are no others around.
This doesn’t affect me. But, conflicts should be expected.
Anyone who flew AW will view that Damned as original. I’m one of them only because AW is where I know the name from.
As you stated, its a game. I’m fixated on getting numbers up. The only thing I take seriously.

Both can be true. Its funny because its sad.
Elders hated our “music”, we hate new age “music”, they will hate the “music” that follows them. Sorta generational.
I bet people we knew like Earl, a real WWII pilot who became a real test pilot, who helped us on AW FM… had a few laughs or tears on us.
-
I distinctly remember getting a push and a shove because I was going to call my squad "The Legion of the Damned" (after my Warhammer 40k, look the original up, they were awesome).
One thing lead to another and I decided on Eismeer to avoid getting into conflict with the 88 Damned.
The notion of "Stolen Valor" I think is a bit much, not having enough respect or courtesy to rebrand would be a less absurd complaint

Had to go back and look for Musketeers squad page because I recalled their claim as “the oldest”, it would seem they may not have been, more on that below. Are any still flying as “Muskies”?
The only one I remember well is Rapier.
Oldest doesn’t always mean first, here’s a couple active links.

AND finally:

The only Muskie I've seen recently still flying under the squad tag is Mailman in IL2.
I'm pretty sure the original The Damned squadron was around before the Musketeers. From what I vaguely recall Rapier was the one that claimed it was the oldest.
Here is snapshot of Muskie roster from AW.

I could be wrong but that list may just be missing SF, who was a great fight :old:

Just LOL at this announcement in every conceivable way.
As far as The Damned goes, yes it's bad form, but I don't think anyone really cares much about squadron names since they mean entirely nothing and are created and abandoned by individual players on a whim. Some create squad names just to taunt others like a signature tag.
Skyyr has no more right to the name than anyone else. Yes, he was a short-term member of _Damned_ in Fighter Ace, under the handle _Shadow_, but he was also kicked out (dishonourably, I might add) of the squad long before FA closed its doors.
Again... LOL with an SMH.

Regardless of what that tramp says above your arse crack ... You and You're fellow ankle humpers aren't Damned.
Your just a sad bunch of little toxic trolls and griefers that wrapped their twisted little ego's around a flipping Video game that want to ride the vapor trail of a good established squad all while dragging the name through the mud.
You all should have never been allowed into the game, let alone back into the game. You're all horrible human beings that shouldn't be allowed to breath the same air as decent folks.
The Damned do not Cyberstalk
The Damned do not Stream Snipe
The Damned do not Harass
The Damned do not SWAT
YOU ARE NOT AND NEVER WILL BE DAMNED BY YOUR BEHAVIOR ALONE!
So Go ask Alexa what Coffee Been 100 is in Welsh

Hopefully this group will not be around much longer. Sooner or later there are consequences for everything. Just because they didn't come right away, doesn't mean they're not coming. They have the support of no one. Get rid of 3-5 gain 10. Fair trade.

Settle down, felon. I've seen your rap sheet and it's worse than your in-game skill (or lack thereof). A convicted stalker among other things. If Hitech is smart he will PNG you and end this drama.
This picqued my curiosity and i decided to look up the judge being talked about. That judge is still alive and residing over there courtroom. Makes you wonder what else is lied about.
I don't know why you would lie about a judge being dead either.

Why? So they can act like a bunch of love struck incels and drive her out of the game to? They've done it to at least one female player I know of.
These arseclowns are the lowest of the low. I wouldn't be shocked if They hang around playgrounds and Kindergartens with a bag of roofied candy looking for a date.
Oh and these two legged suppositories aren't Damned NEW or Otherwise.
