Anyways, I'm about to play the game if anyone wants to join in. In the words of Val Kilmer (guess the movie), "I'll be ya huckleberry". Cya. |\/|

I am happy to have him as a mom-mate if he refrains from shooting noobs before they take off he is good enough not to need to do that.

I have a suggestion , maybe each squad could have a moderator ? That way any player that takes the squad tag without formally joining (bad luck 132) can have the tag removed and it gets more mods out there the game is riddled with gobshytes at the moment ! .

(And in case someone posts between those posts and mine, let me be clear that I am calling out SheiBe Kopf and Oedius!)

With the understanding that I probably missed someone, Squadron MOM makes-up 10% of the top 100 players. That's 10 divided by 100, which means you have to put a point on the top line (result) and add a trailing zero to the numerator so that it's 100 divided by 100 or 1 so if you factor in the point it goes to point 1 or 10% (oh, who am I kidding...I used a calculator).

Now, I'm not close to the top 100 (yet), but I feel like I have contributed to their success by dying frequently.

Tidbit 1 - Big Tex appears to be listed twice in our member list. Having twice the member probably makes the wife happy.

Tidbit 2 - Why do we have "Players to be Named Later" on the list? Are there trades pending?

Tidbit 3 - Just read Devil's post below. Adding Calle would mess up my math. I'm fine with this but give me a week to run the new numbers.

Heh. Sorry about that Doghouse. I think you're talking about that dogfight match we were in last night. I realized after I shot you that (I think) you wanted help going after a tank spawn killer, no? Only I didn't see the tank until too late!

Anyway, the mission I suck worst at is dogfight mode so I'm a fairly easy target for payback. Can never seem to stay interested long enough to get to 15 kills first. The idea of teaming up with squad mates does sound like it might make things more interesting in dogfight mode. We need an easy-to-remember in-game code word for it though. I propose "YFMLNSEOFABSWCWTUQAGBTABTBOBTCG!" it stands for "yo! Fellow MOMs, let's not shoot each other for a bit so we can wrap this up quickly and get back to a bomb the base or bomb the carrier game!" That should do it (and the kids think we can't text!)

Re the issue of people flying the MOM tag uninvited, how do we prevent that and/or how do we deal with it after it happens? I mean are there any consequences besides being called out on it? I think the practical consequence should be that a player who isn't listed on the squads official roster can't play squad wars (whenever that happens).

Official Rules and Owner’s Manual for your 2012 MOM LX5000

The following rules are to be adhered to on pain of death or something really serious:

Rule 1 – There are no rules in M.O.M.

Rule 2 – There is no lying in M.O.M.

Rule 3 – Rule 2 is a lie.

Rule 4 – No member of M.O.M. will engage in team killing (shooting at members of his own team) spawn killing (shooting at the comic book character Spawn) or spawn raping (we don’t recommend raping anyone but if you must, we recommend you try to rape Spawn. Give us a heads up first so we can come watch.) We regard these practices as craven, dishonorable, weak, gutless, moronic and none of us engages in any of them more than once or twice per mission.

Rule 5 – Language: we encourage the use of language in M.O.M. Hand gestures don’t work so hot online.

Rule 7 – Math was our favorite subject to skip in school so we could go out back and have us a smoke of...we mean, do some independent horticultural research. Education is a wonderful thing. But really, the computer site gizmo keeps track of your kills so who needs it?

Rule 8 – Any member who doesn’t show up on time for his shift will be docked a half day’s pay.

Rule 9 – All members of M.O.M. must be courteous and polite to fellow players. Say “Thank you so much” after shooting someone down. If it happens to be a player you despise, say, “Thank you so much you miserable mother f*cking son of a b*tch.” Then strafe him in his chute.

Rule 10 – All members will adhere to the M.O.M. Principles of Flight, as follows:
Fly at least a little above the ground.
Shoot the red guys.
Bomb stuff.
Have some cake.

Age and Other Requirements for Membership in M.O.M.:

Pilots applying for squadron membership must be between the ages of 21 and 174. Unless you’re really, really good. Then you can be 3 and we wouldn’t give a rat’s ascot.
For the most part M.O.M. pilots are in their 30’s, 40’s, 50’s, 60’s, 70’s after which point we forget how to count that high or what we just had for lunch. It looked like it used to be peas.

Anyone of any age may apply to join M.O.M. A select few underage pilots will be admitted as “Prodigy” members and treated like dirt. You can get even by treating your own kids like dirt when you’re as old as most members of M.O.M.

Applications will be subject to review by the M.O.M. Board of Admissions, consisting of dogss, B Strachan, Dentinhead, SheiBe Kopf. Wigbomb and an albino raccoon called Jimmy the Lip. In case of a 3-3 tie the applicant him/herself will have the tie breaking vote.

Applications should be submitted in the form of a hand written email on standard 8.5x11 paper with decorations in either poster paint, colored pencil, crayon or the blood of a virgin. Some form of death and/or ice hockey must be incorporated into the imagery. A forum post containing the words, “Hey you old clowns, can I join?” will also be acceptable.

Bribery is encouraged and will almost certainly get you in. Cash is preferred but hookers, crack, liquor, DVD’s or virgins (with blood still intact) will be considered. Strachan likes a nice redhead and SheiBe prefers a vintage Chardonnay. The rest of us aren’t that particular.

If you believe in the notion that a game can be played with mutual respect in the spirit of friendly competition and a healthy hatred of Lady GaGa, write and tell us. Above all M.O.M. is dedicated to the having of fun. Even if it means killing you. There isn’t much we wouldn’t do for a laugh, and seeing you die is fairly high on the list. Become one of us or risk utter and complete annihilation at the hands and feet of M.O.M. Or, y’know, just, um, like…don’t. That’d be cool, too.

Fark and I spoke with him in game this morning. I told him to join MOM. He thought he already did. But he wasn't flying the tag in game. I told him to go to page 1 of the thread where he would find the instructions, as well as "whiskey in the drawer", according to Fark.
