Mad, you madman, that's flippin' priceless!

Okay, since this League of Extraordinary Oddballs isn't already confused enough...

Hoogie, Air Vice-Marshal II, (#107) is flying with an unauthorized M.O.M tag.

Meanwhile, an entire vowel away...

Hoagie, Air Marshal II, (#55) is in if we want him. He was busy killing everything that wasn't nailed down and, according to him, too drunk to play. Between obliterating everyone in red five at a time he'd crash into nothing for no good reason. To which I says says I, "Hoagie, you should join M.O.M. We fly like we're drunk even when we're cold sober." Hoagie's drunken (but syntactically, punctuationally precise) reply, "I should. How do I join? I don't know my password."

Would you like a Hoogie? Or a Hoagie? Does tag-snagging disqualify a guy? In which case pass on the Hoogie and order the Hoagie, hold the password. The Hoogie is tricky, the Hoagie is pickled. And I gots no clue how we gets either, neither or both of 'em signed up. Suggestions? Votes? Condiments?

This used to be so simple when it was just six of us and a CAKE.

Edit: Quoting Coop: "XUAN IS ONE OF US I BELIVE"
Hey, guys, I think that all this hard work of trying to figure out who is and who is not a MOM is going to drive you nuts, huh? Being a noob-MOM, I know that I should not discuss or give any opinion on this matter, but I see that things are going a little bit out of control... I see no point on being a huge squad (talking about quantity), and lacking "spirit", lacking the original "identity", losing the main original idea of this squad's creation. Sorry for my frankness.
Add to this the fact that it looks like I am going to be a noob forever (my skills reached the max and wont grow anymore), and add also the fact that the MOM's generals are real gentlemen (and for this, they would never ask for a member to live the squad), I think that it is time to some newer MOM members (me included) quit the squad for a greater good.
I am really upset by saying this, and I am really upset too by not being able to improve my skills to a "MOM standard".
I am trying hard, but sadly my right hand shakes, my left thumb is defective and my eyes are not the same anymore, and they can not spot the dots below the red names on the screen before my plane turns on a fireball.
All that said, I fear that I am compromising MOM's morale with my poor skills.
Besides, quoting again what Coop said, I don't want to have to find out who is and who is not a "real MOM" during a battle.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I really think that this "squad overpopulation" is a serious issue, and it needs to be fixed - if not by the squad leaders, it needs to be fixed by the rest of the team that have self criticism - like me.
Let me know if you bosses think that I am wrong in some way - because I hope that I am indeed, because I really like being a MOM member! But if you bosses agree with me, let me know too, because of the greater good.

Edit 2: Oh, and I had a (real) nightmare last night about being chased by Desert Rose. This guy/girl is driving me nuts. Why isn't he/she a MOM already?????

Roger on Hoogie, Coop. You're correct suh, I had forgotten. So Hoogie is up for the voting process that always/never/sorta materializes. I vote "IN".

Hoagie is a sandwich of a different color. How do we get him down wit da hook-up...or up wit da hook-shot...or...anyway, how does he get his tag if he don' know 'is passwid?

I'm still waiting for DESERT ROSE to visit the thread. I saw her in-game an hour ago but had no time to re-broach the subject. It wouldn't hurt to remind her should someone else see her before next I do. Before I do...next. Uh...

Yeah, Xuan K. Zamora has triple confirmed that he's in M.O.M. Again, we just need to hook his ladder to...

ow, my head.

Pedrinho...yer post is so long I didn't want to quote it... Stay in MOM....It's an is what it is kinda thing....as far as MOM standards......hmmm Ya got real personality, (skill too)... Guess what I wear Bifocal's, still doesn't give me 100%.
The game alway's gives and take's from everyone's skill. Some day's your good and some day's your not as good. Big deal, enjoy the game.....

Two things:
1 - Thank you Dent!
2 - Why the hell aren't you in MOM (or in any squad) yet?!?!?!?!?!?!
Ooops - See? this "who is and who is not MOM" is driving me crazy too! (as you doesn't show any banner, I forgot for a second that you are on of us).

Pedrinho, I started out in the 111th, falcons. I moved over to MOM in the MOM start up craze...I am a MOM.....

Ped, Dent is in MOM and you is staying in MOM, so there!
Besides you wanna see bad! You shoulda seen my last three games, I would've been better of shooting myself!!

Yup, my bad. Already edited my post before your answer... But again: where is your banner??

Dent doesn't have a banner, he has a very fetching red dress and a leather mini skirt.

OK, enough ego massages. I am satisfied for the next 4 weeks... lol
But I have one condition: you guys need to recruit Desert Rose. I can't stand seeing this guy/girl in red, at least not without a MOM tag. He/she simply doesn't let me play!!! I'm infuriated!!!
(I suspect he/she is a mod in disguise, though... But while I am not certain about it, I will ask for his/her recruitment everyday).

Hey Guys... Wig is now #66 Just one 6 short of being really evil

Yeah Dent, why doesn't you show a freakin' banner? Not like I have nothing better to do with my time than to sit around cooking up this dippy stuff. Stop being such a dress wearin' bannerphobe and put the dad blamed thing up, would ya?

Pedrinho, scroll back over the most recent few pages, you'll see that I've already recruited DESERT ROSE. Pending official word from her she's tentatively in.

As for the run-on "squad size" debate, it's settled; we're getting as big as the ten million people who claim they were among the five hundred thousand at Woodstock. We're no more overpopulated than Enigma or the Falcons. Check these players: Samweb, Rickenfaker, SAMURAI, OH~MYGOD, DESERT ROSE, Hoogie, Hoagie, Paradiselost7, TheVampire., Dianne, Rufus T. Firefly, a hundred other players worth serious MOMsideration. Which of those do we let in and which do we turn away? Far as I'm concerned "quality not quantity" has ceased to apply. Our quantity IS quality. And not to put too fine a point on it but The M.O.M Mystique has mostly to do with the personalities of the core contributors to this thread. That core has so far grown in only the most positive direction. Flying Muck was a latecomer but the thread wouldn't be the same without him. So there's the M.O.M thread population and the M.O.M player population. The former has been fairly well intact from the start. Additions like Muck have only served to elevate the banter bar. The latter? Enough to fill Madison Square Garden would fine by me. As long as the caliber of play and sportsmanship is there.

(Quoting Wig's "quantity IS quality"...)
If Wig says "Yes", I am not the one that will say "No". I only fear about my "caliber of play"... lol

I think I found where the Skittles have been hidden.
Under DENT-IN-HEAD's hat!

I am one of your newest members, and for me I am glad that mom is growing. Other wise I wouldn't have been accepted. As for my skill level. Weak but improving daily. I have so much fun flying my little plane, shooting tiny little dots. This is my salvation when the kids are at swimming lessons,mma twice a weak., sewing and tap dance for my daughter, BMx and hockey for my son. I play this when I am waiting for them. It is a game I play on my phone. The mom squad is an awesome group wich truly enhances my dogfight experience. A welcoming group that are quick to offer tips, a welcoming hello and the odd trash talk. Love it. Go big or go home. Love seeing all the mom tags during gameplay....

I guess if anyone changes their names (for real) please PM me..

Name changing/calling is covered under Rule 6... So beware..

Actually as of this writing (10/15/12) he's now at #65. Twenty-two days ago or thereabouts he was at #99. That gives him a present daily average rate of climb of 1.55 spots per day, a slight increase decrease since last I checked (when he was averaging 1.58 per day).

There are 35 spots to go. Divide that by 1.55 = 22.58 days until the commencement of the next Dogfight Baktun. Looks like it's time for another

Coop is right. But the truth is, we all suck.

Hence the Suck Factor (SF), first postulated by ScheiBe Kopf, Th.D (Doctor of Thinkology), and subsequently confirmed by my own repeatedly doubly-blinded non-placebo controlled N=1 totally subjective experimentation on the DF killing fields (see bopes, stats of, "deads").

SF is a key component of the Grand Unified Theory (GUT) of Dogfight. The secret to advancement is to embrace the suck factor. Don't fight it. Only when you do that will you rise to the level of your own incompetence.

Go forth and suck, Pedrinho. Bless you my son ...

Coop, there be two of you. There be coop #32691 2nd Lt with 2 kills!

And Pedrinho, your skills are not bad, I've seen you at it and I've seen you driving your little tank, skedadling across no-mans land like a rampant little terrier that's got the scent of a little lady terrier.
