welcome young prodigy members to the MOM squadron
conoco look forward to flying with you.
sput remember this old fart was willing to let you take off in the dogfight yesturday
great to have you both onboard

see ya both in the skies

So guys, where should I get a M.O.M. banner? And what do you think my little saying on it should be?

Hi Conoco. His seniorness, Sir Wigbomb will provide you the distinctive MOM banner. You can go through this forum to find instructions on how to load it into your signature (and if you really hate it I'm sure Wig will work with you... or maybe not...we are mean old men after all

I know how to add it, but thanks! I'll talk to Wigbomb 'bout it.

Hey guys, today was my first game with Conoco and she is definately great addition to our squadron! Any squadron would be proud to have her on board for that matter. And just wait till she gets more experience! I firmly believe that we just may have another Ace on our hands.

Sputnik has already proven himself to be a great pilot and is a whole lot of fun to fly with.

So nice to have both of you here!

welcome to Conoco and Sput... can"t wait to fly with you. hey sput, Change your forum name. (Still has [e])

I don't think he will be able to get rid of the [e] in the Forum name.. If you can do it Sput, let me know how to do it??

Yeah ya can't change it

[e]Sputnik wrote: Yeah ya can't change it

Yes you can. From forum hit "Profile" then hit "edit" then enter your forum (not game) password, change name then hit save.

At least I think that'll do it.

Err ... Except I just tried that from my phone and the name field was grayed out. Maybe try it from a computer?

Conoco, Sput, anyone who hasn't yet picked up your personal banner:

Go to photobucket.com

Locate the album called MOMsquadron

Find your banner

Click on it to expand the thumbnail, then click on the larger image.

Under "Share" choose "More options"

Choose the tab "Get Link Code"

Find "IMG for bulletin boards and forums"

Copy that code and paste it into the signature area under "My Profile" here.

Definitely let me know if you're not happy with the banner, the title, the slogan...I make this stuff up as I go along, not everything is necessarily a gem.

Can't wait to see you two bannered up!

Uh...I think the "jump the shark" moment was right about when someone said, "Hey guys, we could actually DO this squadron thing!" It's all all been over the shark since then...

I love it wig
Just how I wanted it

WOW, Sput! Great banner! Wig is nothing short of genius! I also absolutely think mine is perfect to. Wouldn't change a thing!

Damn, I want that prodigy type! That's boss.

You'll have to reverse the aging process.....

Hey folks..quick question for you.
My paralysis has gotten worse...I cannot feel my hands.
Flying sucks. Life goes on.
Do you need squad space?

Cloud, I just posted a revised banner for you on photobucket. Sorry I'd forgotten the all important asterisks!

Oh my GOD it looks AMAZING!! Sorry for being frantic but this is a boss-awesome banner. Karma fo' you, sir.

If you are asking to leave M.O.M..... The answer is NO.. I can't feel my feet half the time.. Had to learn to fly with my hands now. Look at my stats, it shows.

You mean you guys actually don't all always hold the phone with your feet? No wonder I suck! I gotta try my this hand holding trick...at least I won't have to deal with the toe prints on my touchscreen anymore.

Paul. What SheiBe said. NO. You're a M.O.M even if you're totally numb from the neck up. Spoken from personal experience.

Hello, my name is Michael, Kevins brother, he left me instructions on how to find this site and said since hes always logged in,he said it shouldnt be any trouble to post here. I am on his laptop now and this is an intresting game, but now to why Im here, Kevin told me that he told you of his illness and he put off going to the doctor for a long time which i think would have helped him,hates hospitals.He said all of you let him join you despite him being "green" and i thank you for that, he loves family,especially wig(?) on here, he never knew his real dad since he was adopted. It is therefore with deep regret that i should inform you that Kevin died Wednsday afternoon on the table,during his operation Kevin went into cardiac arrest and with his body already unstable and undergoing partial tumor removal, the doctors tried but was unable to save him,I believe he did not suffer nor was in pain..He LEFT THIS LETTER FOR ALL OF YOU IN MoM....."DEAR GUYS, i go into surgery in about two hours and im bored so im writing this, if you're seeing this letter then all didnt go as planned and i have no fears,if you dont see it, then i will be on in a few days(why am i writin this part if no one will see it?),we start to die the minute we are born.I thank WIG for for helpin me join and ALL OF MOM that let me in as well, and to the members i fought and played with.and to those that i didnt,Thank You, you were my new family.You knew how to play,viciously,graciously,and light-heartedly,i think this squadron will grow more and more as others will see how you are,not about just winning,but caring,and teamwork..and killin each other in dogfights, gotta tell ya, it was always a scary sight to see a red MoM badge come over that horizon, i was always hesitant about firing on them.Whenever you're playing the game,look to those generated clouds and you might see me, not as the terror for which i was feared (HAH!),but as a brother- in- arms. So dont be sad at this,thats life,so open up a brew,pour a 40 on the curb,and go kill some red badges,and yes,even if its another MoM,..oh by the way,if you're tired of fightin do like i did (if not already), take your plane straight up to the max and touch the screen to look down,sorta peaceful seein all that land below,quiet, i died enuf in the clouds, i wanna check em out for a while.

It is a far, far better thing that I do, than I have ever done; it is a far, far better rest that I go to, than I have ever known.
