I will not be flying under the name Mac for the next 24 hours, as I tend to switch names between squads. I'll come up with something.


Mr. Mac, just be sure you're still you when you submit your request to Join M.O.MZILLA. An unfamiliar name will get you rejected.

what time is it??? Its hockey time!!!! :cheer: :cheer: :cheer:

so happy that the regular season kicks off tonight! This will be my 24th season playing for the same club (one of two original players left) and I have been giddy all day long. Summer hockey is fun and all with the post game parking lot BBQ and cases of beer but this is the real deal. Can't wait to mix it up and throw down. Shame the game starts at 10:50 pm cause between the caffeine and the adrenalin I wont go to sleep till at least 3am :blink: . If anybody's around I'll be playing a game or two when I get in. ;)

I realized that, immediately after I changed my name. I have to wait approximately 23 hours before I change my name again. I got into the last couple squadlets under the pseudonym "Naked and Afraid", but I notified the subsquad owner first, in those cases... Oops. I guess I'll be squadless for an extra couple hours, then.
You're getting predictable, guys. You can do better, right?

I'm back MOMrades, and I hope to be staying for awhile. As it would be way too time consuming scrolling through hundred a of pages on here, could someone just fill me in on anything I missed? Also, my in game squad tag was removed(haven't been on in months, could be why) should I just rejoin in game?

Welcome back, Joe! Please take a sec to look over the new M.O.M divisions on Page 1 of the thread, then in the game menu screen hit Squadrons, type in the name of the tag you like, tap that name when it appears in your search results and hit Join to submit your tag request.

Only the tag you wear in-game will be new, nothing else is changed. It's necessary in order to get us all under the Squad Wars server's squadron size limit so we can all play as M.O.Ms.

Hey Big Tex, MOMs,

I was just passing through and this caught my eye. Is this real? Is it a common sentiment?

I understand wanting to support your squad mates, but don't you come here for the fun of a good challenge? It seems like a shame for you M.O.M.s to not fight each other, so many of you make up some of the game's toughest players. That's one of the troubles I had with being in a big squad (the Misfits); it was a drag when squad mates didn't want to fight each other. I always felt we would miss out on the challenges that certain players bring to the game. No big deal here, it's just a matter of your own preferences.

But allowing red squad mates to bomb your own hangars is different. You are abandoning the mission and betraying your team. Wouldn't it be better to just leave the game? It seems to me it would be better to switch sides and make things unbalanced rather than undermine a game for others on your team because you want to be loyal to your squad.

If this is a wide spread thing it may really have a negative impact on the game as a whole. Think about it: something near 1/4 of all Marshals are M.O.M.s. Aren't you here for the good fights?



No. I'm here for the beer and the dancing bears! ;)


In reality, I no longer have the luxury of having hours on end to spend playing any more. I get your point, and in no way are my thoughts reflective of any other MOMs, but most of my games are time limited. With so many new MOMs, I just can't spend the little time I do have on long games, so I have to get in and get out to try to maximize my point earnings. Otherwise I'd feel much more like you do, and I did at one point.

Scrolling through the top 50, I noticed that Cricket reached 50,000 kills sometime in the last 48 hours. Well done, Cricket!

Exceptional work, as always, Andrew. Wish I could flip my camera from human to landscape and back half as effectively as you do your brush.

I keep meaning to open a book I was bought for a birthday one year called 'Paintbox' by Frank Clarke. Looking at that effort by kane I wish I could put this game down for 5 mins to have a go. :woohoo: very smooth work there momma.

Joe, you need to request to join one of the divisions that contains "M.O.M", not the one called "EM.OH.EM", that's the one we're depopulating for Squad Wars. Thanks Mr. C!

Beautiful art, both Andrew and Chocks. I only wish I was that talented.

Side note: if I am found dead, in a sewer, with my eyes gouged out and my neck broken tomorrow, it is because I didn't copy-and-paste ten times. Oops.

Man that is not to be down played at all!!!!!

That is a beautiful work of art and one hell of an awesome display of "how to fight physics"! I do hope you can get some more photos of it. Maybe some video once the drum kit is in it!

I came here to post this little tune. It is a pretty creative piece of art. Created from one of my all time favorite movies. We have head sets in our trucks and I will say that line into them. It ends up sounding real creepy. It is always a good one to drop when we are heading to a call at like 0300 and everyone is all out of it!!!

Simon bts and I just took 5 minute bans for Spawn-raping a blue teamkiller: LightBright77. He kept trying to get off the runway and kill us. Rape this sh!t when ever possible. I lost 2000 points for that twerp. Now I'm 130,000 from leveling up again.
