Just realized this and was like, "wow"....
« on: January 08, 2010, 08:36:27 PM »
The C-HAWKS have been in FSO for many years.  I have done many CiC duties, as many others have, and forgot that I saved orders from some of the first FSO's that I had CiC'd.  Looking back, these orders were for 10 to 13 squads.  This is the point that I said, "wow!"  I knew FSO had been growing, but it took this to make me realize how much.  The orders that I did for tonight's FSO were for 25 squads.  

      :salute to the current, and former,  CM's for all their time and work.  Aside from the great group of guys that I have given the privilege to lead(Thank You C-HAWKS), this is truly one of the great aspects of Aces High.  Who knows, maybe 9 years from now, I will be doing orders for a FSO Frame with 35 squads.

     Again, thanks to all the CM's.  Keep up the good work!   :rock


Sorry for the double post, internet hung up on me on the first try.

Yup. Big difference between the 200 we had in the first couple years and the 500 we deal with now.

Must be a good recipe if so many want it in their Aces High Cook Book. :)

Agreed <S>  :cheers:
There must also be a flyable computer available for Nefarious to do FSO. So he doesn't keep talking about it for eight and a half hours on Friday night!

Again, from the CM staff we are honored by your kind words.  The Admins work months in advance to plan these events.  Setup's work days in advance to set the fields and the environment.  CIC's work in a cramped time frame to formulate a battleplan and assign squads.  By my count, 438 players gave up their Friday night to fly this event.  There is still a part of me that thinks of the elephant.  Ever heard the story?  The man who "invented" Youtube uploaded the very 1st video.  It was a 2 minute video of an elephant taking a poop.  1 year later he sold the rights to the website for 1.75 Billion dollars.  Meaning, sometimes I think HiTech invented a chatroom with something to do!  Great Job CIC's.  Have Fun!  That's an Order!
