Thanks hansone for trying to stick it out with me last night. I don't know if I've ever seen the game that vacant before, especially for a Friday night. I think our invitations to whatever was going on last night got lost in the mail

Jim, I tried to catch up with you, even solicited some friends to join, but before I could get into the game a family crisis caught up with me. I didn't get back until about 2am EST, by that time there was no sign of you. I'll try to be around tonight if you plan on hitting the home stretch.

What time??Ill try and jump in!!

Leave us leave the time to Jimbo, it's his soiree. But I'll jump when you jump, Simon!

Hope everything is ok wig. Don't ever like seeing that combinations of words. 2am eastern is about the time my dunkin iced coffee was wearing off and hansone and I had jumped around for over an hour looking for a good game...nothing but crickets and one poor lieutenant that I didn't feel deserved to get the beat down. I will set the time now: how about 10 pm cst. That gives me enough time to make sure all the kiddies are tucked in, have had their three drinks of water, ten trips to the bathroom and I've disposed of all the things that go bump in the night. I'll start out in mess and if the action stinks go over to vimmy. Hope to see you guys there!

GOOD JOB GUYS.

Yeah! Old Davy had the Glitch game of His life on this one, Kind of like Obama using the IRS to help get Him Re elected.

M.O.Ms, although the Star Chamber thingy does its best to juggle a steady stream of applications, join requests and recruitment prospects day-in and day-out we sometimes neglect to pass along info the entire squad should see. We all agreed that this recent application from one of our newest squad-mates is something special the M.O.M Mob might appreciate:

Tail Guner here, I am a 47 year old father of 5, 3 girls and 2 boys ages 22 to 7. My wife and I have just had our 24th anniversary and are looking forward to the next 25 years. For the last 10 years I have been a tattoo artist and had my own shop until a few years ago when I closed the doors to go back to school where I am currently working for a degree in psychology. I hope to use this knowledge to better the population's understanding of addiction and the role it plays for those suffering with mental illness. I also hope to one day decriminalize all nonviolent drug offenses here in the United States and put an end to the mass incarceration of our population afflicted with this genetic predisposition. Though this seems to be an impossible task, someone must take a stand against the unjust laws governing this nation and take a stand for those unable to stand for themselves. While I don't feel all that old I believe that I will make a good addition to your organization and fight the good fight with honor and respect for my fellow airmen. I thank you for your consideration of my application and hope to hear from you soon, as I am just another ‘MEAN OLD MAN’.
Sincerely, Jeff

We continue to maintain M.O.M's founding recruitment principle, "Person first, player second." Across two years and counting our number of missteps has been minimal, you could practically count 'em on the thumbs of one hand, and those few eventually weeded themselves out. Interestingly, not prioritizing gaming skill over character has somehow snagged M.O.M the most game-skilled characters in the game. Good people make deadly pixel busters, it'd seem!

A fistfulla new M.O.Ms drops on Monday the 1st!

--w--

Was it really that empty, Jimbo? I traveled the world looking for ya. I ran into Bill Maher, B.52, hansone, T-Rex, and two or three other M.O.Ms. I gave up the search near midnight. Hopefully, I'll be out tonight.

Who you callin jumbo mac? It's a gland problem and I'm a little sensitive. Jk. I saw b52 briefly in one game and hansone and I jumped around from game to game but not much happening. Thanks for looking for me tho! I'll be out tonight for sure and I've only got about 1300 points to go so it's definitely getting done tonight. Hope to see you out there!

Breaking news!

Had a lot of fun last night crossing that finish line. Thanks to hansone, mac and York for the in game M.O.M love! I saw a few others while trying to find a fun game that wouldn't boot me. I was starting to think it wouldn't happen after getting the lost connection four games in a row . Blob, you just missed it . We ended our game and I only had a few hundred points left to go. To bad there wasn't anything to shoot at in that one and not enough hangars to go around for all seven of us lol. I know I saw other M.O.Ms out there but the servers were not playing nice so sorry guys if I dropped out before saying hello.

For any of the players on apple, I've noticed since the last update, if you go from the forum to a game, you get disconnected. On my IPad I've noticed the notification bar shows up during the game. This seems to cause the problem. If you close out the app and restart it, it goes away. Hope this helps.

As promised a pic a week...this one is a painting of San stephanos in Corfu......

Jim, sorry I wasn't around to hold still for your MORAF kill! I server-hopped for hours but no sign of The Slice.

So, we'll have to settle for a slice of angel food...bummer, huh? (Enjoy Bride of M.O.M's first thematically driven banner!)

Congratulations, homeMOMslice!

Awesome picture!

Beautiful work, Andrew.

Speaking of beautiful and banners, this one's been collecting dust in the archives for weeks...

Let me know if you need a hand installing it.

Wow, Andrew, that's beautiful. You should make an "art gallery" thread, featuring some of your work.

And speaking of beautiful.... Fantastic banners, Rick. Those MOMraf banners never disappoint. Well... rarely. We all have different tastes, I suppose. But most of 'em are spot-on.

I'll stick around Planet for another week, then on to "M.O.Mzilla!" I don't think I'll be "Naked and Afraid" in between subsquads this time. I'll try to throw people off guard.

Lots of M.O.Ms in the sky this weekend! I'll be seeing you all out there!

Thanks Rick I love her...I mean it...I mean ......that last one happened when
my wife peeked over my shoulder...

Now that's the cats meow!!!!

Just a slight modification needed, Jim; go back in and delete the old banner link and you'll be all set. I have to admit, I'm pleased with your new one. From a purely detached graphic artist/designer's critical perspective, mind you. The proportions are pretty much perfect. Dontcha think?

Here Come the New M.O.Ms!

A few old friends, a few new phenoms, all give the impression of being solid M.O.M material. When you see one flying tagless please do a M.O.M a solid, steer 'im through the steps to selecting/requesting a tag from among our divisions.

Welcome to the kitchen, MOMrades! Pull up a dead red and get comfortable over a hunk o' CAKE!

Lot of witnesses, no apology just a laugh!

Jeff, Boudicca is Sam22. She doesn't generally team kill to my knowledge. Strange...

I've never seen it....till now. She was definitely acting like the female equivalent of a tool, what ever that is . Now that I think of it, I've seen some odd behavior from that one in the last couple weeks. Sporadic, but odd none the less.

Yea I wasn't sure if we were rocking the double banners round here like I've seen a few times. Oh who am I kidding, this really didn't need a reply, but who am I to be so selfish with my dream come true. If you guys want, I can stop posting

Hi all M.O.Mers,

Enjoy the cake, it's really delicious!

Aah, 'tis a good feeling, not being the newest member of M.O.M. If you feel new, bopes will make you feel old, real quickly.
Oh, was I not supposed to spoil the initiation? Oops.


Anyway, welcome to the land of Cake and Honeys!

Buck. How do i get the apoc banner ? Thanks. Being old and slightly senile the graphics you all do escapes me !

I too would like to welcome all the new MOMs.

Just like to give a big welcome to all the new MOMS,a fine line up of pilots.
