Lunas, we are always happy when you land back in the Den... where we both know you belong. To call you our journeyman pilot would be pretty accurate, and now that you found your way back to the den, I would gladly give you my endorsement.

It would be my pleasure to call you a squadmate again, brother Lunas Wolf!

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwoooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhh!!!

Mrylin!

So happy to see you on WP thread. Let me say, you were and will always be our talented magician of Wolf Pack in a great place of honor. I proudly wear the amazing banner you made for me.

I've no doubt you're still a member of Wolf Pack--as Dera points out, still on roster.

This howl is for you, my friend!

I came to say hello. Then I see that Im no longer a Wolf Pack member. Followed by seeing Mayday as a new Wolf. Then I see mention of an old contest and a great tshirt and hat design. A design that I won a contest with. A contest that was to have a prize of said design on a shirt and hat because I won the contest. I HAVE YET TO SEE THEM IN MY MAILBOX. I know I entered that contest befause the prizes were pretty awesome, and because Mayday is a stand up guy. Then the contest ended after I won the hat and shirt design contests. Life happens, but Mayday disappeared with several pms being sent to claim what I had won. Address was confirmed. Promises were made. I never received my prizes. HB heard of my situation when I inquired of Maydays whereabouts. HB sent me a shirt with the alliance logo on it, tbat I wear with pride. Now, there's a guy with class. He had No responsibility to do so.
I'll leave it at that.

So

I dont no all the details about that contest Myrlin. I hope wearing this logo wear does not offend you. I really just wanted to have some logo wear of DF. As for your Membership as a Wolf. It will be reactivated if you PM Viper, Dunc, or Skeeter. You were probably removed due to account inactivity. As you are supposed to fly at least once a month to retain active Squad membership. I am sure Viper will gladly reinstate you immediately upon request to do so

Sober up.

I can't agree with you this time he hasn't said anything inappropriate and myrlin was saying mean things to mayday so...

Sorry you had to spend so much time in the hospital. It seems you may have wanted to stay a few more days to take some Ativan and to deal with that anger issue, though. Anything less than Wolf Pajamas and Mask will be unacceptable, if you choose to visit.
I just got out of the hospital from having a minor stroke myself. Give me some time to get my balance back and get over that verbal attack, and I'll give you a shot at whippin my azz, as you put it. Then, I'll take you out for a Beer for old time's sake and to forget about the whole ordeal. Sound like a plan?
I sent you my address in a PM. I'll be waiting for my well deserved prizes in the mail.
As for the rest of you, who have so graciously responded to me with equal respect, I thank you. I have missed being here, and I apologize for my absence. Life happened once again. I have rebuilt my computer and upgraded to Windows10. I am hoping that this will allow me to once again assist in Banner production. I may not be able to pick up where I left off, but am willing to give it a go very soon. The stroke has left me sensitive to staring at a screen for too long.
Respectfully,
Myrlin

Lunas...I thank you, friend.
Cypher...no worries. It looks great on you! I'm quite honored to have my award-winning design on your shirt and hat. I was just surprised to see it in living color.
To that end, I have removed my initial comment and wish to extend my hand to anyone willing to accept my apology and join me in a brotherly handshake and howl.

My old friend, Canis Dirus.
I was delighted to find your kind words before me. It filled my heart with glee to see the words from one of the original members who made me feel so welcome in the beginning. I too , am glad to see that you have returned. Your presence lends itself to a a truly home-rooted emotion. Welcome home, my friend.

the only way to stop head-on combat is to drastically reduce the distance or damage on far distances. So that the airplanes have to get much closer to each other which would provoke 3 airplanes shooting at you from every angle. So you would have to learn to try to not fly straight to one airplane.

That's my guess, it would help stop those head-on shootings. But I can bet my kidney that tons of people would be pissed because of that. In fact the shooting distance on Elite was reduced compared to df1 and lot of people complained because they liked their laser beams.

Just add diffusion at distances to the bullets so that you can only really shoot accurately at close range. Then to stop turn fights from becoming a mindless frenzy as some would call them, add energy to the aircraft. The harder the turn and the more multiples of gravity you pull the slower your plane gets. After a certain G strain the aircraft should constantly decelerate till they stall. This would elimnate the ridicules boringness of head on shooting and get red of the other ridiculous boringness that the turn fighting can turn into. Also by adding energy fighting you would have more options in the flight models of the aircraft creating a broader diversity among the players on the aircraft they fly and their rolls in combat. For instance you would have aircraft because of their lift could maintain tighter and harder turns white out bleeding off to much speed. (triplanes and the Sopwith Camel for instance.)You would also have aircraft like the albatrosses and the se5a which would have a higher top speed that would be well equipped for zoom and boom tactics but if were used in a turn fight would bleed speed off very quickly. That is only a few of the angles that could be taken.

All in all I personally believe that if you add bullet diffusion as the distance increased, and add energy in a more significant way than it currently is were it mostly determined by the amount of bombs carried by the pilot but was instead was in terms of altitude engine power and the aircrafts ability to sustain a turn with out bleeding off energy you would be opening a multitude of doors as fare as game play would go. It would give players more options on what aircraft they can fly competitively and the tactics they could use. People might get angry at first but in the long run once everyone gets used to it, they will like it more than the current system. I also believe it will draw more people in and generate more CA$H. It also would completely eliminate all the arguments on dropping and not dropping because if the energy system is made properly a person with a bomb by using careful maneuvering and altitude control or zoom and boom tactics could very easily outmatch a person who has dropped their bombs. It would come down to who was more conservative with their energy and who made the wisest moves at the right time

WP
I kind of posted some stuff that was over the line again and would like to apologize.
Marlin
I take back all that stuff I said I'm not thinking to clearly today and would like to say I'm sorry. I would also like to welcome you back to the pack. If you pm me your address and give me a chance I will make things right.
Sometimes I can make a real jerk out of myself.

Cypher
Thanks for making me aware of my posts that were in very bad taste.
After a stressful week at work I tend to really unwind to much.

I copied and pasted that last post and found it to be a real interesting take on plane dynamics. Some really good points.

Your a stand up guy May Day and thank you. Thats why we are the best Squad. We work through stuff together and have each others backs.

Myrlin,
Glad to see you back.
Good to hear that you are recovering.

Thank you, and unwinding is something I enjoy to the fullest at times myself. PM sent. Let's fly! AOOOOOOHHHOOOOOOHHOWWWWWWWWW!!!!!

I have not received a pm from you. Respond to this pm and I will make things right. Also what size shirt do you wear ?

may day wrote: I have not received a pm from you. Respond to this pm and I will make things right. Also what size shirt do you wear ?

Done. I sent the original message to mayday, also your account, I'm assuming. Maybe it's an old one.
Thanks much!

Wow! I leave you all alone for a few hours and all hell breaks loose! Welcome back, Myrlin and Lunas. We will sort this all out. Mayday, please think before posting anything, ok?

Every one here are members of Wolf Pack, the best and deadliest squadron in Dogfight. But we shoot reds, not each other. Right?

Owwwwoooooooohhhhhhhh!

Dunc
Very sorry I kinda messed up and was out of line sir Cypher set me straight.

Myrlin
I see you have a banner
Lunas
Very glad to see your back

As usual, I slept through the fun.

Myrlin, you were never removed from the roster that I know of, and never would have been. I was aware of your situation and you would have always had a permanent spot in the Den so long as I have anything to say about it.

Its good to see a post or two from you, my friend.

True aerial combat is all about energy and momentum. Love the re-post.
