Sputnick as a prodigy member. In the beginning we talked about letting prodigies in younger players

As long as they were mature and a higher rank

A Joke? First of all MOM's don't lie or Joke, well, thats a lie, Rule #3. Well we have Rules, but, well that would contradict Rule #1 and if we had a Rule that explained it, it's probably Rule #6. Your covered under Paragraph 3 of "Age and Other Requirements For Membership to M.O.M" anyhow...

The M.O.M Prodigy Program is serious buisiness in M.O.M. We made it really really hard after most of us already joined, besides, it makes us look better. Rummor has it that most/some Major Universities maybe interested in incorporating this program into their curiculum. The M.O.M Prodigy Program is currently a pilot program at a Major Junior College in Grenada. So Conoco and Sputnik, consider yourselves Honored to be our First M.O.M Prodigy's. Congratulations and welcome to M.O.M.. Also your lucky we don't send you both to Grenada, Jimmy is lonely.

Congratulations to our new prodigies! May you take names and numbers and scalps!

Heh, I thought sput was already in!

Anyway, welcome to MOM, Conoco and Sputnik.

Oh, and did we mention the initiation ritual? Just a formality, really, hehe ...

Tell em Dogss.

Timing wise I think Sputnik and Conoco are our simultaneous first Prodigy members. Welcome to Mean Old Mayhem, you two!
A limit on the number of Prodigy recruits, as dogss suggested, is fine by me. Thoughts?

Couple ways we can approach the tag issue; let 'em fly the M.O.M tag (Sputty has certainly earned his stripes) or have Slenderman create a new tag that might just have the suggested "p" designation or could be a separate, affiliated tag/squad, like K.I.D (Killer Infants of Dogfight) ... M.U.M (Mean Underage Members) ... M.O.P (Mean Old Prodigies) ...

Sorry about the "infant" reference Sput & Con but c'mon...M.O.M and K.I.D flying together? Ya gotta admit, it's mildly hilarious.

You two will have to swear some sort of oath of allegiance to Jimmy the Lip. I'll write that up as soon as he and I get back from his university lecture tour in Grenada...SheiBe, put the coffee on, he's been boiled the entire time...

Lol. I think give them all the mom tag but they got to put [prodigy] or [p] in front of their name. I promised sputnick a title and a hall monitor type position

Congratz and welcome Sputnick and Conoco to M.O.M. , Good Luck and do us proud...or you'll e sent to your room without any desert.....lol...mean old devil....

That makes sense to me, dogsster. Standard M.O.M tag, (p) in front of player name. All agreed?

I think easier no? We should have that sworn sacred oath to Jimmy the lip pronto!

lol I vote M.U.M.

Sounds like a good tag Wig....and congrats to Sput and Conoco.

Kane good luck on your treatment!! BTW, enjoy your sponge baths.

Welcome Sput and Conoco!! You guys will be a great addition to the squad and help fulfill our mission. Whatever that is!?! Cya in the skies. |\/|

Alright, so MOM tag and [p] in the front?

. Wigbomb wrote: That makes sense to me, dogsster. Standard M.O.M tag, (p) in front of player name. All agreed?

Also, How should we list them on our Official Roster. Some special Listing? Any sugestions??

Standard M.O.M tag, (p) in front of the name, e.g. (p)Sputnik and (p)Conoco with the p in parentheses rather than the enigma-esque square brackets. We're not poaching or stealing anything if we can help it.

SheiBe, a separate header "Prodigy Pilots" after the main roster should be fine. It isn't "M.O.M Lite", it's full squadron membership but they deserve the special billing for being young and still wanting to hang with the decrepit, curmudgeonly old sods.

Alright it's done wig.
Name changed and squad changed

Yay, I'm in! Thanks for letting me in! I guess it's good we finally got the Prodigy group going. Time to put on my M.O.M tag. Except I'm a M.O.W... :3

Big welcome to all of the new members!!!

Prodigy MOMs????? I sure hope this isn't our "jump the shark" moment.

In that event I think the anti-shark-jump provision under Rule 6 would kick in. It's self-executing, no?

Wait, I'm not getting any of this rule 6

i feel like a baby butterball around you guys

I haven't played in game with you yet but, I have heard only positives about you from other areas of forum. As you probably already know by now, a certain level of maturity is far more important to our squadron than biological years.

I have played with conoco. Played well for the rank and very pleasant in game.

Now you are truly a MOM. No one else does either!

Nice! How does the saying go? Something like "youth and vigor shall prevail over age and treachary". I'm happy to have them ( as long as they stay off my lawn).

Maybe (p) for puke

Daww.

How about MOM, for Minors Of MOM?

[P] in game for Pre-adult.

I like that, since I'd be on the older part of Prodigy. You guys can still treat me like dirt, and have more fun doing so since I'm a girl.

Still, thank you all for letting me in. I'm honored to be a M.O.M. It's still weird thinking that I made it in
