I have been formulating this idea for a while.
I love my M.O.M. and feel it's time for me to just hang with friends that possess my view of why I am here. The squabbles come from a family that is too large for the table on Thanksgiving and egos that don't want to sit at the kids table with me. Understandable.
I am here for flying, fun and frolicking. I realize all are here for the same reasons, however, it seems to be forgotten most of the time. Not just M.O.M, but most squads.

My thoughts are a small group, 25-50, of people here just to have fun and enjoy the moments shared. In-game and here.
Kills, bombs, rank, etc. are not important. Fun is! Again, in-game and the forum. Too many people take it so seriously that, like magic, the fun disappears. MAGIC IS FUN! (I don't play one on tv. I R 1!)

For now, post here you if are interested and won't be an antonym. In other words "NOT FUN" please go elsewhere.

We're only here to have fun, provide entertainment and help others.

Good luck with the squad Paul!

Thank you. It's an embryo. Just an idea. May not catch on. You know...score/kills/stats/rank and all that.
To me, what does that matter? Did you have fun?
Just tired of the bickering. Not just M.O.M, but all the other squads, too.
My life may be short, (all of of us have that) so I'm going happy.

Wow!!! Very nicely Put Paul!

From an embryo always grows a bigger being when it is nurtured! I am sure you will have great success with this! My door is always open to you, My Friend!

EDIT: But it is with a sad Heart

Nice squad Paul. But let's cut to the chase, shall we?

I quit.


(That was another JOKE! For which I forgive you all, in advance. Thank you for your support...and best of luck on your new squad!)

Paul, i am going to list definitions of you.

fun, sure.
good natured, yeah..ok.
Good looking, well, lets not get THAT far.

but enjoyable, Yes.

good luck with the new squad

It's just an idea.

I may be the only one that feels this way.

In that case...wait until squad wars! (I'll probably be alone.)

Not to worry Mr.Fly Magic, you'll never be alone, I'll be bugging you constantly. I'll be in here on a daily basis. You're going to need a bigger fly swat..the Noushquitos are awfully quick those pests .

Paul,

At the risk of putting you in a tough spot where it might reflect poorly on you to refuse me, I am officially asking, May I Please Join?

I'll take exception to Merry and Groovy but I think the rest is a reasonable fit. Oh, and Delectable is probably out too.
I await your decision with bated breath

Manfred

To all other squads;
I'm not recruiting or trying to "pull" talent.
If, however, they approach....?

My personal responses have been amazing. Thank you folks for your support.
Our "talent" will be good folks. You complain...you're gone. Please understand that.
My set-up, your squad. But, I have last answer. Cause problems? GONE! AGAIN! GONE! If that is a problem...go elsewhere. Thanks.

If you can measure up to my good looks...and I am dazzling....you get a plus.

Well I go away for a long weekend and come back to the devastation that you have left me!

I am loving YOUR new squad...... CONGRATULATIONS

I do love my M.O.M, but I also love my very own MY!!!!! yes MYNE..... Mine. ( i dont share ) Sir Paul My Jester, my Chocolate giving Knight, whom gave me my Queenie Crown.

Ur chocolate loving Queenie (Lou)

Your Highness,
I do not delegate my duties.
Another dream may occur,
But, the happiness of my Queen will never go vanquished or diminished.
Another Kingdom I pursue....one happiness....
I will always be here here for you and all.
Just a different address.
Sir Paul

Paul. I'm a bad one to misbehave so I better stay at my bar... If I thought I could be a good boy longer than 5 minutes, I'd be knocking your door down trying to come in. So, congrats on the new squad and don't forget to come by the bar to see me. You don't mind if I drop by every once in a while do you? I'll only bring my happy face if I do...

Seriously. Good luck with it all. I'm rooting for ya.

What happend here
It hurts my heart to see you leaving but I trust you do what makes you feel the best.
Best of luck with your new home.

I bet it'll have a bit of magic here and there.

Does this mean this is your new home from now on? You helped me into M.O.M and I wish to belong there but I hope I can visit here without apologising for trespass?

I want to try and say this... I was a bit of a purist once, still a little bit of me is, but I was never satisfied. When I started rock climbing I took myself to Swanage on the south coast of England. In my trainers and totally alone, I scrambled down to the base of the cliffs alongside the ocean and looked up. I choose a plan for a direct route back up and went for it. No protection. I got stuck, I apologised to my mum and said my good byes. At that point I refused the idea of giving up and didnt panic. When I reached the top the natural adrenalin caused me to hallucinate, I was in pure bliss just by being. It was mine, I found it, I went for it.
At the top now was a guy sat reading a guide book with his leg in plaster. He talked to me about the climb I had discovered and showed me it in the book. I felt bad about having to give it up as not my place, my discovery. The idea that probably hundreds would come to this place bringing their attitudes and taking from it bugged me. It was mine!
The guy showed me the guide book and talked me into letting him belay me up another climb, much harder. The ropes made the route possible for me and the route was beautifully formed. It was called 'poetry in motion' and it opened my eyes to the possibilities. Without him, I doubt I would have ever tasted the extremes of pushing my limits beyond what I knew to be.
I suppose I'm saying all good things have to be shared to be realised. Everything is constantly changing everywhere.
Paul you made me feel welcome when I came knocking at the M.O.M door. I hope being a newcomer I have not helped to spoil the broth.
A karma for your travels.

Awesome Chocks, quite an inspirational experience. Paul has done so much for everyone its innumerable to recount. Paul's good deeds are as pure as it gets, right from that big magical heart. Much of it goes unpublished and unnoticed--the hallmark of a saintly man. He'll do things like buy some poor kid the DF game and never get thanked for it or even expect one. He's the first to respond to anyone in need of help...like those special ed kids in Mrs.PH's class.

So on and on and on...it's endless.. I've seen it time and again. Paul gave me the outmost welcome to M.O.M. I was officially Noushbagged, over and over, repeatedly...Paul even wrote a song about it with me and big Tex (well he might as well have written it anyways)...

Always enjoy being in game with Paul. Many a times I've shouted "&#(7 dang it, not again you sneaky ol!!" right after that phrase we all love and hate to hear: "it's Magic Time" which in ancient secret Aztec means "kiss your hangers goodbye"

Damn it this is about to make me shed a man tear, I'll just stop here. First I was heartbroken like Tink here but I soon realized Paul deserves his own place...a place devoid of drama and anything crabtastic. A happy place.

best of luck my friend !! if i wasnt such a hot head id have been at your side ..sure i looove to joke and have fun but im not good with people who are not good hearted ...you are and there are many people here i have a ball with and are now friends i email ,text and call...heck even some are comming to montana to visit to your self and all the other good and honorable people and players here i salute you and wish you the bestof luck .....and well done sir!

Damn!

Did I die and no one told me?

Just like life....I'm the last to know.....

I guess some don't care..

Bet I can guess who wrote it!!! Somebody needs to clue him in that this is a GAME!!!! Poor bastard has it mixed up with a real war. Maybe we can chip in and send the dope to a shrink.

You sir are a complete idiot. Not 1/2 of one... A complete one. And... If im right about your identity, don't tell me about what a gd hero you once were. There's a lot of people with a lot of challenging backgrounds on here that don't treat everyone like crap. Get over yourself and leave my friend Paul alone. When you are awesome enough to treat people that way, I'll make sure to tell you. Don't lose sleep waiting though.

If I'm wrong about who wrote it, insert your bio into the preceeding paragraph and it will apply just fine.

All these folks at MOM are grabbing their butt and wondering why it ain't fun anymore.

Because of fools like you!!!


Paul. Don't let em get you down. I wouldn't want to be on any form of a team w/ a sh!7bird like that.

Paul, you are as free as anyone to do whatever it is that you please on here, and by god, a good time get along squad of freaking happiness is long overdue.

Sorry Paul... That garbage doesn't fly. Sorry to bring in the negative vibes, but that guy needs to hit himself in the head with a hammer ten times. Maybe he'd undo the damage from the time his momma dropped him on his head.

Agreed jacklpe ....everytime ive been down right pissed its because a douche bag of the magnitude to cleanse an elephant ....like this nancy has posted or said something this inflammatory for no good reason other to get the attention he needs to validate his meager little existance . Paul , great post, great idea , and way to open up like a human being for the other human beings that are your friends . and to the douche ......say what you will online (, i know you guys hate when i do this ) but on the street id own your ass . This is a diverse world wide crowd ......you never know who your screwing with . So in the words of my grand mother if you dont have anything nice to say - dont say anything at all...and in the words of my father , dont let your mouth over run your ass .....but i suppose your that type , online big mouth - meet snobumm jack off

Now ill put snow back in his box , paul best wishes and to the rest of the people that left kind words to paul blackstar salutes you .

Good luck Paul

I will never figure out why i get this when i try to send you a message.

Agreed. PMing Paul is difficult. I'm pretty sure it's the comma in his name. It tries to separate the recipients b/c of it.

Is there like a trick that i don't know about?

The only thing I can think of is to put his name in parentheses. As in (Paul Mantz, Jr.). I don't know if that will work, but I would try it.

Maybe he used one of those characters that don't show up. Like how sometimes in game there are those no names because they use weird characters.
