It's been in the back of my mind for awhile.
Well regardless, we need many people involved in running this squad. It should never be left to just one. Three to four at least per squad. Let's determine what positions need to be filled then go about filling them. Anyone left here that participated in running the MOM squad?

Here is a write up for a potential page one I sent Muck a few weeks back. I don't know how to dress it up with a lot of graphics and stuff. My humor is way edgier than most. TBO could capture that "cute, harmless, crusty old guy" that was going to get away with grabbing every girls ass he could. I can't do that, so I just went straight out mean.
 Well you seem to have stumbled upon… M.O.M THE MEAN OLD MEN of Dogfight We are a group of international people of mystery. We are certifiably mean, old, and manly at heart and some of body. We have one simple observance of etiquette: THIS IS OUR LAWN! 
Nice, cute, funny, old guys… That’s sweet that they like their grass… 
Not convinced, eh? Gonna be the nice young punk to befriend the irascible old dude? Here’s what you need to know. • M.O.M freaking loves cake!! Come back when you have cake!! • We ain’t for newbs! No training wheels unless you are old and have vertigo! • M.O.M has thick skin! Can’t take a joke, see Clint above! • World domination is for sucks, M.O.M dominates your soul! o If you don’t believe in or have a soul, then world domination is still good! • Brownies are delicious, chocolatey, and bready, but they are not CAKE! • Fondant tastes like crap! Cakes are for eating not for show! • Your mother loves you, but M.O.M will probably try to kill you, or mock you, or mock your dead flaming wreck as it plummets from the sky. • Feel free to lay down and die from the shock and awe of seeing an enemy M.O.M! • Feel free to fight M.O.M to achieve a glorious death. • Rules? Rules? M.O.M don’t need no stinking rules! No newbs here, M.O.M knows the etiquette of our little community. Don’t be “THAT GUY!” Want to be a M.O.M? • Get invited! NO DAMN SOLICITORS!! • Shoot an email with the name of who referred you, your name, CAKE, a witty tag line, and a supreme unbendable oath to dominate and break the souls of the poor tweens, teens, millennials, Gen WHYers, Gen Xers, Boomers, and really old farts not in M.O.M, or at least your commitment to world domination, or your commitment to mercilessly mock your opponent. • Post on the thread and get to know the gang. No Tupperware, Mary Kay, Avon, Herbalife, or any other pyramid racket! It ain’t that kind of party! Current MOMandant: Flying Muck Admissions Board: Current MOMrades: 
RIP CRAZYWOLF

I am not married to any of that. YOu guys are free to tweak away. But it could do for a page one in a pinch.

I will further state, I have no permissions from the great Clint Eastwood to use his likeness in anyway shape or form. Further, my children believe that I have no intellect, therefore I can possess no intellectual property. This is freely given for the MOMs to do with as they please
 Sorry, some times the bear exists solely to be poked!
RIP CRAZYWOLF

Well another late night or early morning (how the hell does one differentiate between the two?) of thread trolling and I don't see many happy MOM faces. That's not good. In Misfitland we drink Kool-Aid while watching the big green guy play with butterflies to cheer us right up (little known secrets about the the big ugly). At any rate, I would hope that the collective of what is left of MOM can pull together and get this thing righted. Bake more cake if you must. I would really like to see you guys around longer.
Until I Stumble in the Wrong Door Again, Weatherman Ignorance has a way of enlightening us all.

Just logged a 90 kill game! Bubi didn't do crap except orbit our base. Then once I hit 90, he sneaks and ends the game. Lol!

I like the Clint Eastwood thing, but I would be concerned about not having permission to use it. No offense Tx, but I really liked the old MOM rules. I was thinking we would just take them (if someone has a copy) and give them a little update and be done with it. If we start rewriting, then every t and . needs to be reviewed, considered and analyzed for unintended meanings and such. I don't want to own this squad, but I don't want to sit by and watch it wither away either. I don't know what to think about Muck at this point. All of I have seen is requests for us to wait and be patient with very little progress to show at this point. I think we need to be thinking about where we go from here. Here are my suggestions. 1. Have someone other than Muck put in charge of the M.O.M squad. Work with Zep to make this happen. Not sure what that will entail. 2. Keep the current thread, but modify the first page with our rules and roster. Apparently this is doable. Use the old rules and update them making minimal changes. Update roster as best we can at this point. If we leave someone off, we can add them back easy enough when and if they realize it. 3. Approve volunteers or draft at least two more "moderators" if that is a proper term, who would be able to update the page one roster etc. as needed along with unfortunate sole that accepts the reigns. 4. Have persons (maybe the moderators) given the authority to approve new members and or remove inactive ones or the occasional disruptor.

Just for the record, I intended to include this in my previous pos. My intent is not to pass judgment on Muck in any way other than it appears that he does have the time to devote to this squad that is needed at present.

I like brevity.
If I fotoshopped this picture of Walter, wearing pilot gear, saying: "We don't explain ourselves to others, we are not the Jackass whisperers." Wouldn't that just about say it all? 
Walter is the archetype of a mean old man! edit: "We don't explain ourselves to others, we are not the noob whisperers!"

I like the MOM with the old guy in the "o". Can we use that as welcome me to MOM and jeep Clint? If you've seen Gran Torino, he was really channeling the MOM lifestyle!

Thanks weatherman and tbuilt etc for your input. I hope no other squad feels they are imposing by posting here. We're all here to play this game.We may be in different squads but all part of one community.
For one I'm gutted that a fellow Brit would fuck me over but that's by the by. Zup takes behaviour that is disruptive to his game serious so don't be surprised to see more khaki names appearing.He has answered to my concerns before with actions and will do the same again. Do we need a leader? I think were old enough to make decisions amongst ourselves upfront without any backstabbing behind closed doors. We need a forum moderator who can tidy up and a squad moderator to accept new players and remove inactive players.Every active member of the squad will have equal say on any subjects,squad directions or applications.No one member should have to take on such big decisions without help. Tx. Nice work with the page one workings.I too was thinking we only needed one rule/statement (rule 6: If you don't know the rules by now you need not apply to M.O.M )  I would also change"invite only" to "apply within" Doggy I've enjoyed your posts and appreciate all the great artwork you've been doing.You know after I messaged you well over a month ago about the way things looked like they we're gonna pan out,hence my silence around here,but I would say I got it pretty damn close.I applaud you for bouncing back after getting put down by so called friends. Gaw,I love how amidst all the shite going on you can still come here and put up inspiring and motivational posts.Your weekly stat list for a start. I have no objection to anyone wanting to play that laggy tank game run by greedy Ruskies.I tried it myself but I didn't like it. I could tell it was a money pit.We can play more than one game you know just don't pretend to care about this game. We are still gonna lose a few tryin to sort this out. I would like to see Doggy or Gaw be appointed as squad fiddler and forum fiddler No offence to any others but they are both dedicated and very active in game and here which is my main considering factor. We all can share the burden.Don't think it will be left all for one person to deal with. I was even tempted to start a separate sub squad but I now think getting control over original MOM squad to be plan A.

I like new rules, but somehow Clint Eastwood don't look mean enough. I found old rules just in case someone wants to mix in something. Like new old rules.

I just made Jeff an Air Marshall so he can let players join MOMZILLA. I don't know how much this will help things but, figured it was better then nothing. If we want to keep this avenue open and anyone else that has been active here as of late, jump over and I will make you an Air Marshall also.
I am quite frusterated with how things have seemed to panned out. I have not been able to catch many games lately and I am on an ipad so I don't feel that I am missing much. I looked at trying to change the name of MOMZILLA but I can not find a way to do it. You all are welcome to use this as an option to do with it what you want. If someone would like to take charge of it? Let me know and I will set you up as MORAF or I will leave it as it is. Just with the way things have developed, and as judgement gets past out, I for one want no ill will put on my credibility.

Wasn't expecting that (gulp).Thanx I think
After about 10 seconds of looking at the extra privileges.I found the so hard to find option.Although as you say no option to change the squad name or remove banned players.I think we will need to agree to changes to MOMzilla renaming, forum moderating and elect the original MOM squad a new Moraf.I will email zup to try and make them happen when we have decided. No one was sacrificed during this test tempting I will always ask all here first.
