Crikey! I turn my back for a birthday break (cheap solicitation of "happy birthday" posts, so please DO NOT humor me, I'm trying to pretend the day never happened at all...) and all hell breaks lose 'round here!
SO...I need to lend my late breaking welcome to Nazis...to Sparky...to Trigger...am I correct in understanding that all three guys are in? And am I missing anyone else? I'll have pilot banners for you three asap.
Devil, I noticed in-game that you're using Mean "Ole" (not Old) Devil, so I'll get a revision of your banner up, too.
Prepare for more good news: tonight I got in-game confirmation that our "Hat" is not "Hat in the Ring" who's a solid player and would've been a great addition, it's actually "Hat in Ring", Air Vice Marshall ranked something like #106. He's resigned his membership in whichever other squad he was in and officially signed himself into MOM! I don't think I need to tell any of you how good this new comrade is!
So Hat, if you're reading this, the banner that I created for you will be revised to reflect the correct version of your name and posted here shortly. Welcome, at long last, to M.O.M!
Anyone who needs a banner revision due to name change, inability to find the original posting (page 10, I think, then several multi-banner posts in that vicinity) or the feeling that your banner just sucks, let me know.
As for D_N, I tried pitching him in-game after he's blown my mind about a dozen times (and blown me down nearly as often) in a game but he didn't respond. Now we know why. This guy, as we've all already agreed, is a freakin' demon from the depths of Dogfight hell. Sounds like we've all learned that the hard way. He's so in he's out and back in again as far as I'm concerned, we just need to get word to him.
Someone mentioned Big Boss a page or so back...I did what I generally try never to do and pitched him openly in a game earlier. Not so much a pitch, I just told him, truthfully, that he's on my short list of players I'd like to have in M.O.M. He didn't say yes, but he didn't say no. Again, I don't think we need to raid other squads for quality talent and it's rare that I'll even mention it in-game unless, like D_N, it's an unaffiliated player.
More to follow...
