i am not sure how to celebrait it, but i understand is about eating turky, drinking alot and tell what you are thank full for.

U got that right man dead on da nail(especially about the drinking )

I am having the same problem. I cannot finish the games... CONNECTION LOST !!!

Www! 13 hours with no posts! Are moms getting that old?? Hahahahaahhaahahahaa!
About losing connection, I am geting used to it...

I think Pedrinho that everyone is just so pissed of at the problems in game and at times on the forum, that nobody bothers much anymore, they've all found something else to while away a little time here and there, something that doesn't give so much stress. I've been chilling from work the past week and I've played and finished Battlefield Bad Company 2, Call of Duty MW 3 and now I've started Assassins Creed III. And in that time I've played maybe 3 games of DF.
Maybe we should have a whip round in the DF community and get J access to a new server.

Incidentally, has anyone else played or is playing Assassins 3, is it me or is this one a bit like holding a candle up to a fricking great spotlight after Altair and Ezio, maybe I just haven't got far enough into it yet, but so far it's crappily boring, wandering around 1750's Boston and all this guy does is knock his opponent's down time after time, once in a while he puts them down period! Someone tell me it gets better please!

Oh boy, 5 tries to submit the above. Mr J, as wig said a while back it's time to get some pro's in, this is bigger than a bloody hobby, you can't build an airfix battleship and think that gives you the ability to build the real thing!

I've been playing minecraft.

Flyinmuck no need to say sorry. It is ok to shoot the blue one if you are red, and viceversa. Of course we are of the same squadron and sometimes myself, if I can avoid, I do not shoot my momrades friends even been reds. As Wig said time ago, in Dogfight mode we should try not to shoot each others ( MOM's), but when the situation force you, you most to do it , even not been confortable ... I did and felt that way ,when I shoot Wig for two ocassions these days....See you up there and lets enjoy the game until "Connection Lost " message.

Have had a few games with foks I saw teamkilling who then asked why I had a problem...all they saw was red. Having seen Wig go thru this, carriers on mud flats, and biplanes with magical powers this doesn't seem too far a reach...getting so u can't even tell who's teamkilling and who isn't. Should we rename this Dogfight Anarchy?

...and fair warning: if Hy pilot and vexille aren't ace aliases, we might want to groom them for MOMliness...seem too good to be the noob rank they show...

I had a funny feeling about that, kept thinking I know this one

I have a question. If a prodige shows superior skills and other Alfa mom qualities could they "rise from the ashes" and join the official main thing of mom with the players over 21? If yes then I better get to work. If no then I have 9 years to waste till then.

Yeah, everybody is fuming over the "updates" to the game. The crippling lag, the chronic dropped connections that seem to just know the precisely WRONG feckin' moment to drop, the carriers on land, the zeps in carrier missions, the vanishing and reappearing players, the text in all red or all blue, the players in all red whether it's a ffa mission or not...the ever expanding new crop of team killers like the above mentioned Qpalzm3 (last night he backshot me down...I got in a tank...he tried to strafe me...I blew him out of the air...I tanked him on the runway four times and got banned...then five minutes later I went looking for him to see how many more times I could get banned...he'd ruined half a dozen missions that I was aware of by team killing and bombing his own hangars...whomever here gave him the benefit of the doubt by suggesting that he might've been seeing all reds? Nope. Undeniably, irrefutably intentional team killing prick, s'all.) ... yep, we're all well and thoroughly fed up. And yet...

It's time to adopt our official M.O.M Theme! Like the choppers sweeping in across Cambodia or wherever blaring Wagner's Die Valkure in Apocawigopalypse Now, M.O.M must have its signature musical morif as well. And have it we friggin' well shall. It's a contest!!!!!

All M.O.M's are encouraged to give deep and contemplative thought to what music best represents us. Think about it for at least fifteen, twenty seconds. More if ya got no life. Then submit your thoughtfully selected selection here. Once all members have been heard from the list will be reviewed by our resident musicologists. Me and anyone else who answered "that's me" to the thing back there about having no life. From the full list of submissions we'll boil it down to finalists then the winner will be selected by a vote from the entire squad. Mozart, Mother Machree, Marilyn Manson...makes no never mind what genre, era, lyric content or relative quality. If you think it should be the M.O.M music when M.O.M steps into the iris, stops, turns and fires at the beginning of every Double Oh M.O.M film, that's good enough.

Here's the kicker: there will actually be an actual prize! Not some chintzy virtual prize, but a chintzy real prize!! Actually mailed to your chintzy home!!! Depending on where the winner lives the prize may even equal in value the postage required to mail the prize. Whoa, huh?

So rub those last two functioning brain cells together and see what kinda musical spark they generate. What have you got to lose? Except one or two of your last two functioning brain cells. And really, c'mon...how much good are they doing you? So git ta thinkin' up a song, ya lazy ass bastards! This will be the music we are all required to sing or hum aloud whenever entering a mission with a fellow M.O.M...much the way The Falcons type "ff" which I can only assume means "fabulous footwear" since The Falcons are known for their tastefully chosen heels.

The Official M.O.M Theme Contest! It's ON THE AIR!! Only it's not. But otherwise, yup, it's definitely on. Just not on "the air". But the air is highly overrated, don't you think?

...here you go, Wig: They're Coming to Take Me Away, by Napoleon Bonaparte...

That was Napoleon XIV, BT! Great opening contest entry! Looky you guys, we already have a list of candidate from which to choose!

Oh no the mayans predicted a mompocalypse

Yeah! MOM without prodigies would be like Thanksgiving without turkey, or Christmas without some weirdo in a fur trimmed red suit breaking into your house and leaving stuff instead of taking stuff!

John Smiths, but the bastards served it up chilled enough to put the taste buds into a coma, wtf has happened to good English beer, are we all to drink nothing but ice cold fizzy lager. Though I did find an interesting little sweetie called the Dogs Bollocks, lovely little pint or two that was, I even chatted up the little totty who served me and I do believe she enjoyed it!

That one, BT, was called "Surfin' Bird" and was stolen from a great R&B group, The Rivingtons by a less than great novelty/surf group, The Trashmen. The Trashmen's version combines two classic Rivingtons songs; Papa-Oo-Mow-Mow and The Bird is the Word.

Christ, I am such a music nerd.

Brilliant suggestions, BT and Gary, but...Sput has set the bar so low so early in the game I don't know how anyone is gonna find something that'll get under it. I have faith in you lot, but Sputty just fixed it so this is no CAKEwalk. Whoa. Whoa-whoa-whoa whoa whoaaaaaaaaaa!!!

I just watched and listened to Sput's choice! Wig I don't think he set the bar low, so much as burried the bloody thing so deep there are Aussies tripping over it! Geez, now I know why Ruskies drink so much Vodka.

But, I think Sput should get a flake, or get flaked, for having the balls to actually post the thing.

As for my choice, I think it should be....no wait a minute, let's go for....nope, how about....hmmmmmm...,

As a special request, U guys might could listen to the sound of MESHUGGAH, in reference to total and complete motivational sounds that will inspire you to clearly focus on the bad guys. Just a suggestion.

I could compose a song for you guys. That would be cool, wouldn't it? You can hear some of my works here:




Tell me what you think. It would be pretty neat to make a theme for MOM.
