Hey guys! As you may know, I'm a DF veteran from way back. I remember WUDF, Mbizzi, and Brian being the first three to hit rank 31. I can't believe that nearly a decade after I started playing Dogfight, this dude is STILL on top of the leaderboard! By 8000 kills, no less! Shit, the man is THIRTY THOUSAND ahead of Charli8 in third place!

Does that guy still have terrible ping, btw? I remember the dude would take like 5 seconds to respond to being shot back in the day.

Anyway - I'm not making any lofty promises of being back for good this time, but I'm definitely going to buy Elite from the MS store and check out what's changed. Bullet drop and WWII planes, I think?

By the way - did you guys know that after Brian hit 31 and gained 1,000,000 more XP, his account got deleted? Never recovered, as far as I know. Took him like a month to take the top spot again. Dude's nuts.
See you in the skies!

Hey guys, I just found a nice screenshot from October 2012.
BStrachan then flew as Duckwing2 in memory of the pilot Jon.
Like alot of other players did too how You can see.
At that time, I fell really in love with this game and the community.
I'm sure there are still tons of more screenshots on MissHell's server
with alot of our players while chilling together on Mt. Duckwing. :)
I also have a Top100 list with only nine Moraf's. Looks like today. :D

And BStrachan almost looks like a rookie with his 60k kills. :D
With his actual points today including his lost account, he is at least a six-fold Moraf right now.
Or as Wikipedia would call it: A global war with only two buttons and wings !! hahaha B)

But to see BStrachan, Von Kilner or frits in team red is never a reason to cry.
Because what could happen to me, except to lose without shame? :whistle:


If You don't kill me cuz I'm a Girl means You don't respect me.
If You only kill me cuz I'm a Girl means alot of (s)kills for me.
If You see me in red means I'm coming to bomb your base.
Your entire team expects You do know what to do now !!!

Wow, that's awesome! Yeah, I remember everyone flying in memoriam for Duck. He was a good guy. Pretty good pilot too, for that matter.

I wonder how many of the people on that list are still around? I know everyone but Samurai... but I hardly recognize the top 100 now.

Oh, and to your point about Brian being an MORAF 6 times over - let's also keep in mind that MORAF was rank 15 before my time, and was 31 when I "retired". He was never a MORAF at 15 (he wasn't around back then - I believe Gyshan was the first to 15. Dude was a dick), but if I remember correctly, he was the first to 31, and I imagine the first to 47 or whatever it is now. Dude is nuts.
See you in the skies!

Hey Z! I think this might actually be the first time you've ever graced one of my posts! Great to see how much more active you are in the community these days!

I sent you an email on the same day I made this post about recovering my old account. Can't seem to remember the password. I haven't gotten a response, I assume it got lost in the million emails you get. Is that something you can help with?
See you in the skies!
