I still can't get over just how great ALL of the banners look! Not just the art work, which is fabulous by itself but, the words & slogans are truely inspired! You are incredibly gifted Wig and we are very fortunate indeed for your generosity. You too, SheiBe, for all of your hard work and dilegence. :)

Sput one of your prodigy quests is to recruit D_N, [ ]Daga, and other top Spanish speakers before MBello figures out how to check his squad roster! ;)

Off topic and before I forget, trigger and I recruited Transporter earlier. Seasoned ace, excellent addition. I told him I'd put the word out and to drop by the thread to confirm so Wig can do the banner honors.


Transporter is a stud!!!! :)

Transporter is hellaciously good! And he's a mere fresh faced babe-in-the-woods of 55? That's the perfect age!

I want to know more about a pilot called z Corsair z, too. He reminds me a bit of Transporter around the edges but never replies in-game. I think I picked up that there might be a language barrier issue there, not sure.

I was only able to scan the thread briefly here while being jostled around on a subway train but I thought I saw someone ribbing SheiBe for making up the rules? He's much too smart and mature to have produced that nutty junk. Mea culpa.

Sputnik, your comments on Kevin touched me. When we have the memorial flight we will do exactly as you suggested. I'm proud as proud can be to have you and Conoco in M.O.M. Trigger, also beautifully expressed. I wish you'd drop a comment here more frequently, you're a pleasure to read.

Possibly some of you have noted that I took the liberty of posting Kevin's letter (and his brother's prefatory comments) on both the enigma and 111th threads. So far the suggested date for the Legendofkane flight is Monday. Will that work for everyone?

Oedius,

Shameful to have to admit but Rule #6 is the only piece of competent writing in the entire canon of M.O.M. The rest reads like the ramblings of a mildly psychotic, drug-addled old punk. Coincidence? America, you decide.

If, however, I am the Jefferson of M.O.M SheiBe is clearly the Ben Franklin. He was the only one of those crackpots who had a clue about which end was up. I'm pretty sure Sputnik is the George Washington and will eventually be elected King but wisely refuse the crown.

Thanks for the interest Killerbadger but my gut says no. But that's just my gut. I usually go with it though. In fact I never leave home without it. But It's not infallible. It could be wrong. So as per Rule 6 (see the "gut check, conditional waiver of," subsection) I'll reserve judgment until I hear from others, or from their guts, or from Jimmy, or Jimmy's gut.

Meanwhile what do you call yourself in game? Killerbadger doesn't come up in the rank charts.

Anyone else or their guts have any thoughts?

Ah, I see Mean Ole, or his gut, has already chimed in above, with an opposite view. See that? Rule 6 in action! (BTW if no one else chimes in to break the tie, under Rule 6 it's pistols at dawn for me and Mean Ole. That can only end tragically for me.)

Rule #6 has truly inspired and guided my life since I first read it. Such a wide and encompassing piece of regulation, that speaks on everything from incorporating new members to allowable lengths of blue fescue in a southern facing lawn in zone 6. Before I was fortunate enough to read this marvel of electronic scripture, I didn't know that it was encouraged to yell at the youths who trespassed on my property, but apparently brandishing a firearm is going too far.

I have taken the time to actually paint this bit of regulation above my front door, so that I can be reminded and inspired by it daily.

Killer badger... I agree that I personally would like to know your in game name before making a judgement. Also, instead of simply asking can I join, you should express why you would like to join. We are a very different kind of group and it takes a special type of pilot to fit in. It is not that we are trying to be snobbish, it is our members( as a whole, not individuals) that really set us apart really make MOM who we are. Tell us a bit more about you, and I bet you will find we are a very welcoming group of people.

Official Rules and Owner’s Manual for your 2012 MOM LX5000

The following rules are to be adhered to on pain of death or something really serious:

Rule 1 – There are no rules in M.O.M.

Rule 2 – There is no lying in M.O.M.

Rule 3 – Rule 2 is a lie.

Rule 4 – No member of M.O.M. will engage in team killing (shooting at members of his own team) spawn killing (shooting at the comic book character Spawn) or spawn raping (we don’t recommend raping anyone but if you must, we recommend you try to rape Spawn. Give us a heads up first so we can come watch.) We regard these practices as craven, dishonorable, weak, gutless, moronic and none of us engages in any of them more than once or twice per mission.

Rule 5 – Language: we encourage the use of language in M.O.M. Hand gestures don’t work so hot online.

Rule 7 – Math was our favorite subject to skip in school so we could go out back and have us a smoke of...we mean, do some independent horticultural research. Education is a wonderful thing. But really, the computer site gizmo keeps track of your kills so who needs it?

Rule 8 – Any member who doesn’t show up on time for his shift will be docked a half day’s pay.

Rule 9 – All members of M.O.M. must be courteous and polite to fellow players. Say “Thank you so much” after shooting someone down. If it happens to be a player you despise, say, “Thank you so much you miserable mother f*cking son of a b*tch.” Then strafe him in his chute.

Rule 10 – All members will adhere to the M.O.M. Principles of Flight, as follows:
Fly at least a little above the ground.
Shoot the red guys.
Bomb stuff.
Have some cake.

Age and Other Requirements for Membership in M.O.M.:

Pilots applying for squadron membership must be between the ages of 21 and 174. Unless you’re really, really good. Then you can be 3 and we wouldn’t give a rat’s ascot.
For the most part M.O.M. pilots are in their 30’s, 40’s, 50’s, 60’s, 70’s after which point we forget how to count that high or what we just had for lunch. It looked like it used to be peas.

Anyone of any age may apply to join M.O.M. A select few underage pilots will be admitted as “Prodigy” members and treated like dirt. You can get even by treating your own kids like dirt when you’re as old as most members of M.O.M.

Applications will be subject to review by the M.O.M. Board of Admissions, consisting of: Big Tex, bopes, Farkinell, dogss, B Strachan, Dentinhead, SheiBe Kopf. Wigbomb and an albino raccoon called Jimmy the Lip. In case of a 4-4 tie the applicant him/herself will have the tie breaking vote.


Applications should be submitted in the form of a hand written email on standard 8.5x11 paper with decorations in either poster paint, colored pencil, crayon or the blood of a virgin. Some form of death and/or ice hockey must be incorporated into the imagery. A forum post containing the words, “Hey you old clowns, can I join?” will also be acceptable.

Bribery is encouraged and will almost certainly get you in. Cash is preferred but hookers, crack, liquor, DVD’s or virgins (with blood still intact) will be considered. Strachan likes a nice redhead and SheiBe prefers a vintage Chardonnay. The rest of us aren’t that particular.

If you believe in the notion that a game can be played with mutual respect in the spirit of friendly competition and a healthy hatred of Lady GaGa, write and tell us. Above all M.O.M. is dedicated to the having of fun. Even if it means killing you. There isn’t much we wouldn’t do for a laugh, and seeing you die is fairly high on the list. Become one of us or risk utter and complete annihilation at the hands and feet of M.O.M. Or, y’know, just, um, like…don’t. That’d be cool, too.



I took the liberty to change our Official Thread Page.. If someone has a different idea of how to present Kevin in our thread, Let me know.. Thank You

You are all Honorable M.O.M's...

I'm sorry,my friend, but RULE 6 is firmly established.

We will always honor our friend. RULE 6 stays as (un)written. What's you're idea for a new rule? We can always add a new one. Our HEARTS need no rules. I'll agree!

I wish I was as clever with words as you, Wig, or Scheisse, but at this point, have too few brain cells to come up with something witty, funny, sarcastic, or altogether memorable. For now, I will leave it to the bards in the squad to continue to do us all proud....
