20 years in MMO air combat and 20 years as a Muskie! One game genre and one squadron for twenty years from 300 baud modems to DSL, from 4 colors to a kajillion colors, from 640X480 to 5040X1024, from relaxed halftime realism to full realism flight models, from text communications to VOX, from one 15 inch screen to 3 screens, its been one hell of ride and I couldn't hope to find a better bunch of people to do it with. I had the great good fortune to encounter BMan and Stilletto when I first started and from that point onward there was no looking back. It brought me my job, my livelihood and my fun all in one. What a deal! :)

BTW, all this month the Muskies are doing Musketeer Mad Missions, wacky stuff with next to no purpose at all. If you see a bunch of Muskies up, feel free to join us!

 :salute The Musketeers!

I'll now hobble back to my flight gear and attempt to hit something  :old:

Every day I'm glad to be able to fly with you guys, even if some of you put on ridiculous fake accents sometimes   :D

I'd also like to point out that as I'm only 36, I'll still be just fine for the 40 year reunion, no walker or hoverround needed.


Having you guys invite me in was one of the best things that has happened to me in my virtual career, and I'm glad of it every day.  Thanks and here's to the next 20

Very cool!

Congrats on 20 years, guys!  It was a really nice feeling to see the familiar names/cpids when I started the game 6-7 months ago!

I've fallen, and I can't get up!  :old:

Here's to another 20.

I'll be firmly tucked into a dirt blanket by then but if there is an after life, and I can make my way there, I'll see if I can hack the back end and put extra air under your wings.

You'll know it when you feel it.

Musketeers!

Fellas,

Thanks for the good wishes.  We've always been guys that just fly, shoot stuff (and miss stuff) and mostly just mind our own business, but it's nice to see these nice comments.

 :salute to you all,

Here's to 20 more for us, and for this game!  :joystick:

That just means they've changed something inside the matrix is all, don't worry about it a bit.
