It has just been a series of games that whenever I see a fellow MOM / Enigma / 111th, the game play level always goes up!

Yeah Nazis is in a league of his own. Here's a mid-game scorecard from a recent game of his:

That's pretty dang formidable.

thanks guys, that was a great game, very long, and reaches 115 deaths I do not remember .. would like another game like that.

nachoo is very good pilot, I was fucked! he was the one I killed

must be sought to say that if you want to be part of our team ..

Sorry for the momentary vanishing act, compadres. I was catching up on some obviously much needed sleep. Thorazine can have that effect.

As to the Kerouacian/Joyceian/Hitchcockian/Serlingesque diatribe, first...thanks for all those associations. Whether you meant them as compliments I opted to take them that way and run flat out to the bank. Second...what, no Gertrude Stein? Sheesh.

That rambling lunacy was intended to be funny as originally typed from a train platform in the middle of the night, then from the train, then from another platform, then up the block to apartment building...like taking you guys on a virtual ride home with me. (it was inspired in large part by sitting on the platform reading Prof. Bopes and his grammar queen...or, I guess, punctuation queen, corrections...yep, grammar queen is what some friends have called me in the past. Bopes, you and I are brothers from other mothers...er, MOMs.) You'll just have to take my word for the funniness, but it was pretty gosh dern amusing until the messaging utility here on the forum et it. By the THIRD time it got et I'd lost all hope of preserving the stream of consciousness spontaneity and was just good and damn well determined to get the flippin' thing posted in some form. "Defeat" is not in my lexicon when battling a four inch phone.

Thanks for your kind indulgence and your threats of institutionalization. That's how I know this is truly a family; you all want to see me in a straightjacket being fed through a straw, just like my folks always have.

Do not worry, my friend, you sent it to your facebook we never saw it!

Yeah, right!

I, too,used to live MADhatten that's why I choose to live here. It's calm until you NEW JERKERS come to give me money.

But I miss the excitement of watching someone fall off the platform on to the third rail. Quick fried, then the A TRAIN coming in and cutting them in two. Oh! I miss the good times!

Great job nazis!!!!

Not to mention a possible par with Herman Hesse, or Greene

Hope nobody minds, asked Godza to look in on us, he's looking around for a squad, think smurf can back me up in telling you he's good.
And as for LESA, that's a one woman task force !! If she on an opposing team I'm staying on the ground...
Put her and Nazis together the rest of us can kick back and eat some cake.

Welcome back Wig. It was a solid piece of writing there ( in every sense, including the solidity imparted by ALL CAPS). Funny, too. On the anniversary of that post, every MOM should commit it to memory and recite it verbatim during games. We can call it Wigsbury Day.

Speaking of literary pursuits, I highly recommend Goshawk Squadron by Derek Robinson, a cracking good novel about WWI RFC fighter pilots. Also a must read (certainly for MOMs) by the same author is Piece of Cake , about WWII RAF pilots in the phoney war and the battle of Britain. The BBC adapted the latter for TV. But I wish someone would adapt Goshawk Squadron, the better book IMO.

Re Godza, I vote IN. I think I may have mentioned him as a potential good fit awhile back.

Also there is a pilot named Downey I've seen who has mad skilz. Put him on the scouting list.

Hey Oedi and Coop,

Sorry for leaving mid game early this morning. My phone suffered from a lack of energy and my screen is really hot when I'm on it too long. So it died on me. It was a great game. It felt like a stalemate. Bigboss and an enigma player (my memory sucks when it comes to names) sure fought a good fight. Kudos to you and Coop, and Bigboss!!! Have some cake! |\/|

Saw another MOM pretender. j

f, wouldn't respond, shot him down a few times, Miss Hell went after him too, he's worse than me!!!

Had a look at your pics Mavrk, you have a good eye, some really nice shots, hell I'd hang em on my wall! Really nice work.

Hey Fly, thanks for checking out my picks. They are all digital. I started out using roll film in my younger years then transitioned into digital. Its more of a hobby for me. I really appreciate you looking at them and thans for the compliment.

Early this morning, I think I was in-game with Sheibe and Jimmy the lip aka Wig, we encountered a MOM imposter named Boang. Really good player. Not sure his age but I believe we told him to remove the tag. That's all I remember. Sheibe/Wig, you guys might have some insight on who this guy is. Or anybody for that matter. |\/|

Did everyone receive there slice of cake?

Yes, it was great. Now I'm high on sugar!!! Thanks sput.

[e]Sputnik wrote: Did everyone receive there slice of cake?

I got this Sput????

Boang is one of my first "friends" dating back my entry into Dogfight, Mav. He's sometimes funny, always skilled at game play, and I now have to admit an unrepentent wiseass. I was on the point of submitting his name for MOMbership then noticed that he'd already stolen the tag. I've given him several missions in which to clear things up but just laughs and does as he pleases. Unless he's ESL and doesn't get it he's intentionally being a flagrant ass. The motion I was going to make to vote on him you can forget until he shows me a little maturity and respect for people who work hard and find value in uniting as likeminded players and sometimes, as with us, eventually friends. Until then he can go to hell and wait there till he hears from me.

Downey - yes Bopes, agreed.

Manny - another one to snag while he's on the rise.

Clinometro - barring any bad reports here I WANT THIS GUY! Another possible ESL (or no L at all) so MOMs who habla Espanol be on the lookout and recruit, recruit, refriggincruit fercrissakes.

Add him to my wish list of Rickenfaker and TheVamp...

Oh!..Samweb invited me to join his one man squad! First time he's ever asked anyone, he said, so I was flattered to pieces but had to tell him I'm responsible for keeping this rogue's gallery in line. As if. Anyway, I Invited him into MOM but he says if he gives in back in WUDF; The Elephants Graveyard of squadrons. There may yet be hope there so hit him when you see him and
tell him about the secret tree house full of drugs and hookers...

Did you get your cake?
I will

Nazis I was just in a game with nachoo
I don't like him
When he was told to stop spawn killing he was all like
DEAL WITH IT

I'm surprised that Nachoo has been so impressive. I played him for the first time yesterday, and shot him down 6 or 7 times, and I don't recall him getting me once. Maybe he was just off his game. On the other hand, I personally don't need to have a squadron full of aces. If they've got the MOM spirit, that's pretty much all I care about.

I was wondering... I wonder often these days...

I was in a game with Von Pay and he asked me if I was the Head/Main/President, whatever of MOM. I told him we didn't have a MAIN GUY.. Evidently he is the Grand Poopah of 111th (?) I really don't keep up with the other squads.. ANYWAY, someone was begging to get in his squad and they were talking about being on "council". and who was in charge of what.. (as you can see, I'm into detail here) I don't want to poke fun at the other squads, but what does one do who is on a "Squadron Council in DF World"? I know someone asked me to join a squad once and said I could be on council?? Sounded like a demotion from Imperial Ruler of MOM.. Maybe you guys who were on the other squads know about all this technical stuff of squadron runnin.. Do we need a council? and who/what/where/when/why/Wig, would it council? I was counciled once a long time ago, didn't work, I'm still a half bubble off level.. Wigs got the other half... Just Pondering here anyone know??

I think the answers to all those questions (and more!) may be found here, SheiBe:

www.robertsrules.com/faq.html

Here's just one example:

Question 16:
If minutes of a previous meeting are corrected, are the corrections entered in the minutes of the meeting at which the corrections were made?

That's easy! You may well think. But let me assure you, it's not so simple as it seems ...

Amen, bro! Further to ScheiBe's thoughts on "councilhood" I get the feeling that its the common anarchy of the MOM spirit that makes this work...on either team its great to have MOM's in the game. Just had a losing situation in a BTC game against Muck and some others (including Nachoo...) and Nazis and a couple other Mom's came in to pull it out to win...a royal melee and all good spirited...though bloody...

That was a good game, was in losing one just now against bopes and nazis, lost connection Grrrr

Like I said earlier nazis and lessa, the rest of us can sip cocktails eat cake and chill

Yes, thank you, but cockpit is now full of crumbs and joystick is sticky

Your side lost muck ...

Didn't you start to pitch someone for MOM-bership in that game?

I saw him a couple of days back no tag then. I think the problem lays with you guys. These pilots see you all in action and they wanna be a part of it, so they have a look on here, see its funny, lighthearted, everyone on good terms with everyone else, so they adopt the tag. It's a compliment to all of you who made this squad what it is. That said, how the bloody hell do you stop them!!!!

Yeah I'm still trying to figure out how to deal with impostors in game without sounding like an insufferable prick about it, or without it sucking all the fun out of the room.

so is the cake good?
i can keep my cake job!!!!!!!!!!

gotta admit boang is funny but I dont think he's going to fit into any squad. we had to convince him to take off the 111 banner cuz of his language then I saw him next day with an enigma banner and now MOM...maybe tomarrow he'll be NLR.
