As with all our squad banner designs I'll begin filtering these new models into rotation. MORAF banners will continue to be unique to each M.O.MORAF as always.

Er, Rickster, is the letter size on that banner supposed to be that small? I had to zoom in on the screen to read it. Are you afraid of the text overlaying the plane in the basic banner design, or is that on purpose? It's downright miniscule though.

Although, I supposed, since our mate fbt rarely makes forum appearances, the banner is purely traditional.

Actually, Mac, it is intentional. I've been experimenting with text size, particularly the "log line", treating it as almost subliminal before ditching the element from future banners altogether. You'll notice that some banners no longer feature that feature. The original concept of the M.O.M banners was that they replicate business cards with name, "job title" and positioning statement, the titles being different but somehow equal in keeping with the "everyone driving the bus at once" approach to anarchic management. I think we had a King, a Pope, a BigWig, a Grand Vizier, a Chief Justice, a Czar, a Party Leader, everyone equal and equally stupid...but never a "squad leader" or "first officer", thankyouverymuch. Eventually I ran out of equivalents and started shifting to titles that reflected something about the player, the name, the country of origin, etc. I still enjoy the layout but have been hankering to unshackle us from it. With the introduction of the SuperMOMdel MORAF banners it's made more sense to use less specific copy.

Meanwhile, your banner was one that saw the statement reduced in size, fbt's is another step toward the microscopic. Eventually it'll be like the models' M.O.M tattoos; you'll know it's in there somewhere but you'll need a jeweler's loupe to find it. I'm guessing looking for the tattoos will still be the more enjoyable challenge.

Aww, I was fond of the original design. I can see how it would get a bit tired, though, after a couple years. Although I've really liked the design on your last couple, Wig. The no-text look works with the sharp backgrounds. Kind of a "less is more" feel?

I favor a cleaner look than I see in most banners on the forum, true. If the graphics and text FX fight for attention everything gets lost. Y'know, like "squadron leader" and a slew of clip art medals and ca. 1990 faux chrome metal-poseur font over ca. 1995 amateur .gif animation that chugs under its own overblown file size. I know the friggin' kitchen sink is gonna grind into view eventually but I don't have five minutes to stare at someone's Photoshop for Dummies exercise. One of the reasons the M.O.M banners pop more than others do is the absence of clutter, something I am, yes, skewing more heavily toward as we go.

Hey wig Who do u think will win in squad wars 121st Misfits or MoM let me just say that MOM have got a lot of Marshal of Royal air force so basically its very unknown who will win

I too like the minimalist stylings of the new um...er....what are we looking um talking about?

....when I am not playing Dogfight......

Managed to find Wig in-game today, for the first time since I joined. Lost connection 3 times. Yay. Anyone else having these issues? Either way, I believe I entered the top 500 players today!

Edit: Nope. #501. But definitely tonight.

Hello guys anyone have trouble with game? It takes forever to load or get error message. Then if I get in I get lose of conection any ideas

It's a laggy mess, Brian. Dropped connections right and left, some of the worst lag I've ever seen, locust, frog-rain, spontaneous Tea Party rallies crashing the median IQ. Next thing you know we'll have flying tanks. What's the Spanish for "don't quit your day job"?

I, too, have been experiencing SUPER-LAG & DROPS. Chat not working well.
Other than those items everything is fine.

When I just want to fly I am usually in Chile or Hawaii in XTREME SOARING 3D.
It's free, too.
It's got chat, so we can catch up while racing along a ridge at 5 ft. At 140 mph.

Paul, since you first mentioned it to me what seems like it must be a year ago I've tried to install Xtreme Soaring but can't find it. Do you know for sure that it's available for Android? Nothing even close comes up in a search, I just now tried again and struck out for the severaleth time.

What would I do without you, Anders? What would M.O.M do? Not have half its banners installed correctly, for one thing. Tack, min vän.

M.O.Ms, I need to unburden myself. This comes as a shock to me as much as I assume it will to you:

I’m gay.

I frankly had no idea about it until Whiplash, posing as a “friend” to infiltrate my Facebook page, snagged a photo of me. A photo that is clearly a gay smoking gun. It’s a pic of me with…Santa.

I realize it’s been naïve of me, not recognizing my own gayness when there was the evidence staring me right in the gay face with it’s gay red suit and gay beard and gay jolliness. The ho ho hoing should’ve been the tip off, it always makes me feel funny in the pants. I tried to convince myself it was just normal, healthy greed. Ho = gifts = funny in the pants, y’know? Hell, when I was four I didn’t even like girls. But I was a huge Santa fan. In one blinding flash of Dogfight private message clarity my entire misspent gay life of denial has come into focus. The poseur hairdo, the trying-too-hard-to-look-butch wardrobe, the cheesy faux-metal tattoos. Uh…hang on…those are pics of Whiplash.

Well, anyway, I must definitely be gay, there’s no denying the Santa thing. I mean, Santa…c’mon. I might as well have an earring.

I also have Whiplash to thank for pointing out that I have sex with animals. While cyber-stalking my Facebook presence he was also spending time trawling my poetry site. The public site with a global readership in the thousands. That Whiplash, he’s a master sleuth. Apparently what I thought was Lang-Po, Spam-Lit, Spoetry and Flarf, the most influential avant garde poetry movement in the past twenty years, the core collective of which I’m a member, turns out to be an admission of bestiality. My girlfriend’s cats are starting to give me weird looks…

While Whiplash has made a hobby out of collecting without consent the names, email addresses, phone numbers and photographs of M.O.Ms, Misfits and presumably other Dogfight players, prowling our personal information, scrounging around in our various sites, blogs and accounts for anything he might twist and try to use against us, obsessing about strangers in a video game forum, I’ve been a latently gay animal f*cker. Who knew?

To the M.O.Ms and Misfits and others who are undoubtedly also closet cases in Whiplash’s cross hairs, I encourage you to come out. It’s a huge relief. Even if my girlfriend’s cats disagree.

A DF player who spent some time in a not-so-private-after-all chat room of Whiplash’s sent me the following quotes of Whiplash talking about his super- secret powder-keg stockpile of damning info about us,

“If you give it up, I will lose everything.”

"if I push and hammer them with everything and they slip loose I have nothing left…”

“…if I always hint at what I found they will know what I mean and don't know what might happen"

These sure sound like the words of a stable, balanced adult to me, yep. I’m a little surprised that Whiplash invests so much of his self-worth in obsessing over someone who’s queer for Claus. But, what a person does with his time and…whatever else he’s doing…is his business. Right?

Okay, only-partly-joking aside; remove Whiplash’s allegedly hetero hard-on for me and M.O.M entirely from the equation, forget all the childishness and bizarre ax grinding. The important take-away here is that harassment, bigotry and homophobia are not funny. No one in the Dogfight community – or anywhere - should have to endure being judged, teased or persecuted on the basis of their sexual orientation, regardless of what a Whiplash might think about it. And he does think about it.

We should assume there are Dogfight players who actually are LGBT and show them the exact same respect we expect to be shown. Whiplash types are free to practice their narrow-mindedness in private. I like to think such destructive ignorance is unwelcome here.

Clearly, all Dogfighters should lock down their personal data lest Whiplash or someone like him decide it’s worth violating, distorting and weaponizing against them to whatever twisted purpose of his. After months of his black ops now Whiplash boasts of, “…the privacy invasion lawsuit I can launch.” I assume he means against me and/or members of M.O.M. Now that would be entertainment.

If his motives weren’t so ugly I’d be mildly amused by the time and effort Whiplash burns thinking about, intruding upon, scheming over me and M.O.M, (and The Misfits, and 420, and etc etc etc) and our private identities, and our aberrant sexuality.

I suppose, though, it is comforting on some level to know that Dogfight has a self-appointed “mom and dad” maintaining Gaywatch over us. (Albeit a dysfunctional mom and dad without a scruple or a clue between them.) Y’know, in case someone turns out to have a boner for the Easter Bunny.

I'm ready for my moraf banner wig..... But let me create a photobucket account to put it and my old one in so i dont lose it

CONGRATULATIONS Ghostrider! Damn well done old chap

I love the Easter bunny!!! He's such a gay little chap with his little hops and skips and his floppy fluffy ears!!!

ooh that feels sooo much better, it's been such a bitch hiding it from you all, thank you Rick for lighting the way.

now if you'll all excuse me..I'm just going to whip out my knotted flagellator and give myself a lash or two.

OK OK I'll come out of hiding .... But only for a minute...
WELL SAID RICK , But Santa's not really GAY is he? I mean the ELVES ... Like.... No....

I'm sure many of you remember my M.O.M hate from a while back. I never had a good reason for it. Honestly, I was duped into it by Whiplash. What was the term he used for Wig? "Power-hungry elitist", or something of the sort.

The reason I didn't come to the proverbial light regarding both Wig and M.O.M was simply that I didn't believe someone would go to the lengths Whiplash went to without a good reason. Thankfully, I had many great experiences with M.O.M to change my mind.

This next statement is not an opinion. Or an assumption. It is a clear, undeniable fact: Snidley Whiplash is clearly obsessed with M.O.M and with Wig. Why? That's within his tiny mind to fathom. All I can say is, I'm glad I cut ties with him, and would urge anyone with sense to do the same.

So your saying whip has MOMmy issues?

Well..
ahem...

I have to admit that I never really felt that I quite fit in around here.
Now after reading a few of the last posts I feel the need to come clean myself......

I am Santa Clause
and the Easter Bunny
I have been for the last 10 years. Throw in a couple stints as the tooth fairy too.

I would like to thank you, I really feel I fit in with you guys right in now, needed almost, right at home...

Thank you Rick. I too am HOMOSAPIEN!

Well done, Brad! Your M.O.MORAF banner's been ready for days, I'll post it here because the guys would want me to. For me personally, it's only a beard. She does nothing for my gay pants. Sorry straight M.O.Ms, I just don't get the appeal.

Congrats Mr. DER1! Or may I call you GHOSTRI? Wecome to the über exclusive Whosis of the Royal Whatsis Force club!

Now wtf, Whip? Last time I remember owt he was doing good stuff for the game.

You realise this puts a whole new meaning on camping.

Congrats on MORAF-astizing, Ghostrider! Sorry I missed it, but Claus was on the other line, sobbing about Wig again ... apparently they had another lovers' quarrel ... those two!

Congratulations Ghost. Well done!!!

The guy is a creep. Last time I ran into him he was calling me by my actual name and telling me to "just wait ". No doubt he has a collection of my pictures lifted from my Myspace, Facebook, and Put Your Space On My Face profiles.

What other personal information has he swiped from me? From you? Who knows. I seem to remember a bunch of Misfits getting prank called a few months ago... Get a life, Whipless. There are far more productive things you can do than plot to fuck with Dogfighters using their personal information.. Ya know, like collecting Maritza Mendez photos. Soooooie!



And I never really had a boner for Santa Claus. Donner and Blitzen are total studs though.
