I finally had my first encounter with this "Shinto" screwball. First M.O.M Shinto, some sort of weak explanation about "M.O.M" representing a Hindu phrase, then the name changed to Mother Shinto and word that the tag had been dropped...at which point I guess we were satisfied to drop the matter.

Well then there...about 48 hours ago I entered a mission and here's our bosom chum Mother Shinto in red! I flies across the map I does, and what do my wondering eyes behold? Mother Shinto...with M.O.M over his/her idiot head.

W - Mother Shinto, drop the M.O.M tag please.

MS - You'll have to speak more clearly, then perhaps I'll answer you question,

W - It wasn't a question. Please lose the tag.

MS - Why? Because you say so? Who do you think you are?

W - Well, I made up the name M.O.M and I'm one of the original members. Good enough?

MS - Not really. But go ahead and ask your question.

W - You are not in M.O.M. You're unauthorized to fly our tag. Remove it.

MS - I was invited. But I don't care to join, You're all quite rude.

W - Rude to tell you to drop a stolen tag?

MS - It isn't stolen, I am a member.

W - No, you are not.

MS - There are those accusations again.

W - I'm about to accurately accuse you of having been banned for tag theft and being a wiseass.

MS - More rudeness and accusations. But fine, what is your question?

W - You're stealing a tag for a squad you claim not to want to join. Drop it. NOW.

MS - You can't tell me what to do. .

W - It's more of an invitation: remove the tag, stop mouthing off, and enjoy being banned.

At which point I freely abused my Moderator power and banned the supercilious little ponce. Was I wrong? Of course. Do I care? Not a bit.

We, The NLR, Enigma, The Falcons, The Black Eagles and all the squads put thought, time and energy into creating, maintaining and growing these clubs. We're meticulous about who we invite to join and who we don't. Members represent not only themselves but the entire squad. We attend to our memberships with care. And Mother Shinto is about as M.O.M as the mouthy man in the flippin' moon. If I may be so rude.

In short...when you see the now un-banned Mother Shinto with our tag, kindly blow his/her face off, red or blue. Then, if you like, "you may ask your question". You rude, accusatory bastard you.

Some of us just push things WAY too far....

I haven't seen the post, Head of Parrot, but I did get a PM from Jangsoo122. He was, as is common, unclear on the rules of squads and tags. Thought all he had to do was decide to be in a squad, snag him a tag, Miller time. I had already long since un-banned him and thanked him for his note. Misunderstandings we have limitless patience for, bald-faced jackassery notsomuch. Thing is...if he's complaining of being "muted" that sure never came from me; I only issued the ban because I couldn't get him to reply in chat! The Dogfight database works in mysterious ways, its wondrous mash-up missions to behold. (Like the free-for-all mission I just played, taking off from a carrier I was intended to bomb! Take off, drop bomb, get credit...wheel around, land, get bomb. Take off, drop bomb, get credit...lather, rinse, repeat.)

Oh yes that was indeed a perplexingly hilarious charlie chaplin of a mission.



this was from the zep mission just before the btc free for all craziness¿¿¿¿???? - notice the top sliders ala capture carrier.....but its a zep mission??? oh and it was in a field????

I was left alone and didnt last long in the end but it really was a god game.

Who is this "terdwurler"?

A ringer I'd bet. (But not me, that's fer sure. ) Impressive either way, though.

There's that terdwurler again.... Sock puppet, but whose?

Sheez that is a LOT of kills. Definitely not a group capt. My personal best so far is 50 in one game and have only hit that 1 time. Way to hang in there bell. Looks like you dished out a few your self. Usually don't get a game long enough before the conn takes a huge dump.

All this talk of cat's. Little Dent want's you to find the famous mouse on her cat "CHEWY".
Look closer..... Just the talk of Mouse make's Chewy hungry.

$10.99 plus S & H.... But wait, now you can get 2 YEMX for the low price of $10.99.... Some restrictions apply..

Dang SheiBe Kopf at that price M.O.M. Should probably buy him out!!!

I mean if you think it would be good for the squad and all.... Heard he always brings cake also....

Little Dent say's "Soooo Cute" and "Thank You"... Funny you posted that.. We had a mouse in the house last week.... Chewy only chased and pointed...She kept her distance.... When I finally caught it...Little Dent say's.."Daddy don't harm that mouse". I'm told to take it outside and release it.... I say " It's 9 degree's outside It may not live". "Then Daddy, You will take it all the way to the pond and release it next to the shed". Hmmmm In flip flops short sleeve shirt in a couple inches of snow I carry this little mouse down the hill as close to the pond as I could go..(I'm sorry I was frozen)(I almost died for that mouse) and released the mouse....Little Dent would have preferred realeasing closer to the shed but she was very thankful.....
Thanks for the post Paul

Bellsaj, I entered the mission when this beast has about 66 kills; when he has 99, my connection went down.
I will repeat your (unanswered) question: who below the skies is this terd? He made me forget that fear of Desert Rose!

Subject 2 - To Wig and all star Moms: about some disrespectful players, I want to register a MORAF that needs a lot of education: he uses some modificated ea$, or ea%, or ea&, dont remember wich, on his name ingame. Its easy to find on the rank list, as he is a MORAF.
What happened is that, last night, he was blue, with me and other 2 rookies (low level). I dont need to tell about my lack of skills - but the things went yet worse becouse I decided to play using a less powerfull plane... oh, bad choice for the occasion...
To the point: this ea$ was facing the enemy as expected, as an ace, lots of kills, etc. Me, on other hand, was playing even worse than normal... and that other two poor aspirants were doing their best, I believe... And then this ea& begun to talk in spanish with one of the reds, complaining about his bad team, and using heavy language to refer to us.
I told him that I can read and write some Spanish, and tried to tell him to not humiliate the rookies, and to teach them instead, and act like a real Moraf, with dignity and fair play. But he kept his humiliating words, and calling bad names, etc.

When B.o.l.a.s. entered, blue, he commented again about his "sickness", and I decided to quit, opening room for a better player, to gave him the piece he wanted.

Of course that chances are that he can be a kid - if so, let it be; but if this guy has some age, he needs some advices, and if he ever asks for mom membership, please, mad old monkeys, remember this before saying yes...

I usually dont appreciate doing this, but he was really unpleasant to play with. Sorry for typos, im using celphone...

You got it Bellsaj..... Little Dent love's that cat....ugh...

Wow... that ea$ or whatever is the 7th MORAF... Real ace... how sad.

Don't mean to intrude, But with the snowy weather I thought u all might need one of these to help clear the run way.

I just shot someone down in mid-air while he was chuting down..not impressive u say? How about if I took the shot in a tank? While moving..lucky, shmucky, I feel like a king of tankers

Richyroo and muck, if you have sky anytime then right now 7pm on military channel is a docu about ww1 aces!!! they have modern exact replica planes (and fly them etc) pretty cool.

This eas guy is Enzo Sanchez of the black eagles. I'm really surprised. He had a tustle with Manfred a week or so ago. I believe the issue had to do with abuse of noobs then. This sounds strangely familiar.

I have flown with and against him many times and never had any issue. I've always enjoyed playing with him. I have some limited Spanish skills but can follow much of the chat. Never heard him being abusive. However, after multiple reports stating the same issues, you have to consider they maybe accurate.

The incident that Manfred was part of was chalked up to communication/language confusion, but if Ped( assuming he is fluent) understood it as abusive in the same language, it may be time for a mod to step in again. Do we have any Spanish speaking mods? That might help.

MOM's and MOM readership fans (there are a lot of us ),

If players are observed behaving badly, snap lots of screenshots and post them in photobucket or some other linkable site. Then post to the blacklist thread or PM me or another mod. Describe your interaction in detail. We are not trying to target players, but I think we all want a healthy game environment for new and old alike. It's one thing to shoot new players (red); it's another to use foul, abusive, flaming, or tormenting language (toward red or blue). If it's in a different language, just post what you observe and someone skilled can read the screenshots. And definitely include a description, because sometimes pictures can be reasoned away with crafty explanations.

We are relying on a lot of you whose names are less prominent. There are players who behave one way with familiar names around, and then act with practically no restraint when they think no one is looking.

Manfred

As one MOM to another, I'd like to make a request...

Maybe everyone doesn't know, but ill explain here again, then there's no excuses.

When you soldier on a carrier, you become invisible. Other players cannot defend themselves against you. You can also hit various spots as you walk around that makes your timer reset (CTC GAMES). So you can stay on board the carrier indefinitely and snipe as many as 8 planes or more if they're damaged and nobody can effectively fight you. This my fine sirs, is what we call UNFAIR.

Additionally, recent updates have made the practice impossible. Unfortunately, apple has not as yet publish one of the updates. So, if you are on an apple device or have not updated your android device you can still soldier and snipe on a carrier. This means only some and not all players can do this and makes it doubly unfair.

Unfair = Not MOMish behavior, correct?

MOMs lets lead by example... Please do not soldier/snipe on the carrier.

If any MOM here has a reasonable argument for performing this practice, PLEASE come forward and be heard. I have recently stated that I do it too if someone else starts it. I have changed my mind. I will simply leave the game if the campers refuse to stop. Blue or red, it doesn't matter, I'm leaving that game.

Agreed. Leaving now when it is done instead of doing it in return. I will attempt to talk to the others doing it and make them aware that it is unfair. If they do not stop my team or enemies I'm out. Auto destroy and quit on to another game.

Thank you Max. I would give ya a karma bump, but I hav e already used my karma privileges in the past 6 hours

I couldn't go to SUPERBOWL this year, but M.O.M was there! All the way from BRISBANE, AUSTRALIA:

I see they are making a movie based on the Jack Reacher (by Lee Childs) books......thats who wig really is, hes like an old retd' mp of dogfight that kicks the posteriors of the bad guys so we have clean skies to roam! - I think the movie will rock! - bad move with tom cruise as Reacher....- shoulda been Jason Statham / Cristian bale / Rick Wiggins. those woulda been my choices

I was married once......

That cat video was awesome Paul. NICE. We need that thing on page one. My wife liked it to.

On a diff note I played with Mmiller the other night. He is a good player and very good team mate. Communicates well. Asked me if I'd heard any thing on his squad app. Told him be patient star chamber was on it. Was I in the right o wise and mighty ones ????

Yeah, I love those books. I commute a lot with work and listen to a lot of audio books. Went through the Reacher books pretty quick. Cruise might pull it off, but it really needs to be an older tough guy. I'll have think of who I would cast. I think the ones you mentioned may be a little young too. Who knows maybe a ParrotHead Poll.
