There does not seem to be a "forgot your password?" doo-hickey to reset the game password if you forget it. Hence Slenderman will tell you (as he told me) to delete the app and re-download it. This will generate a new (string of numbers) password which will be sent by email, but (Slendy assured me) doing this will not affect your account, your present rank, your XP or your fleet of planes. So I did this, and the game app took me through the set-up procedure. At first (horrors!) my rank/plane access seemed reduced/limited, until I hit the "upgrade" (or whatever) button and got the thingy for paying .99 or 4.99. I clicked that and it told me I already purchased it. I clicked through that and after that my rank/plane access was back to normal.

The forum password, in contrast, is chosen by the user and the forum has "forgot your password?" functionality. But unless you set your forum password to be exactly the same as your string-of-numbers game password, well, you know . . .

Bottom line: WRITE 'EM DOWN SOMEWHERES!!!!

I'm getting the same problem Bopes

My forum password is fine, but my 'name in game' password is giving me the name/password does not match message

I'm wary about doing the uninstall/reinstall thingy....

Are you sure it's safe?

Yours in a panic

Training sessions should be as absurd and pointless as possible.

I propose a mission in which all maneuvers are done while flying upside down (in formation if possible).

We should practice communicating in-game using hobo language (see John Hodgman, Areas of my Expertise).

We should have missions in which each person is successively shot down by the next so all but the last end up in tanks. Synchronized tanks!

lol that sounds like fun.

"Are you sure it's safe? "

Yes Gav it worked out for me but the process was fraught with peril, I must say. I forgot to mention, whatever you do, don't hit the "new account" button! That was the other option besides "upgrade/restore". I can only imagine what dire consequences will ensue if you click on "new account", because I DID NOT hit that button!

Wow, MOM, Wow! (shades of Twin Peaks...maybe we should have called ourselves "BOB"?)

You guys are slayin' me! Even if we sucked as players this would be THE squadron of choice.

Alright, after having just caught up with the last few pages, here, have this:

Rules - F**k 'em. I'm writing something along those lines purely to amuse myself and you lot, and to clarify things like age restrictions. ironically, there really are no age restrictions. We know we're all mature aged, neither all old not middle aged nor young...we agree that younger players, say 21 and up, are fine if they embrace and share our..."vibe"...and we allow for a few select underage phenoms as "Prodigies of MOM" because, well, every club should have a mascot and Calvin is being stubborn about it.

As to the tag gizmo, I went into the link, I think, entered my ID info (email, password, game name I think?) found a list of all squadrons with clickable buttons, scrolled down and selected MOM, hit save and that was that. I hope any of you who might still be having problems get them sussed out. If not, we'll haul in Slenderman to consult.

Bopes, was it you who mentioned being a New Yawkah? Where do live, brudda? I'm on the UWS.

Gary-the-Pink has been in on my list for a while. Gary, check back a few pages in the thread, there's a personal MOM banner I knocked out for you a few days ago.

Dent - Giudas did talk to me in-game, yeah. I steered him to the thread. The guy's a beast in the air and seems like a perfect fit for us. Now you have me dyin' to know who the other "mystery candidate" is! I can think of one player I pitched, if it's him and he joins we're gonna have to have a collective HOLY F**K on the count of three, two, one...(seriously, the one I'm thinking of would be...yikes. If Strachan is our Michael Jordan, and he is, this guy would be our LeBron James. Entire squadrons would close up shop and go home.) Send me a personal message? Or is it confidential? I'm just curious as to which of the guys I've talked to it might be. I can think of at least three that would set the haus on fahr! Giudas would be a strong enough addition to warrant popping a few corks.

I'm about to post up a few more banners for the newer members, I'll try to get fully caught up in the next short while...

Just so you all know I know, I burned my quota of typos for the month in that last post. Time to change brands...

Banners attached for most, not quite all, of our new recruits...who's missing besides Galahad?

Uh oh...Zandor, don't grab your banner yet, wrong version. Please stand by...

Zandor, revised banner...

Ok, just in a wee bit of a mild panic mode....

Have deleted and reinstalled, clicked on 'i have an account'

So far, so good....

Upgrade, buy lifetime, already purchased - check

Clicked on 'forgotten password' got the message 'we have sent to your mail'

Then..... That was 20 mins ago and still nothing....

How long did it take you to get your new password/code sent through?

Getting withdrawal symptoms ;(

Gav

No wig im the new yorker. Brooklyn ny. That's right.

Thats hilarious I propose we do this soon. Other teams will be like wtf are they doing?

Full tank assault priceless.

Gav check your spam folder. Is it the same email you signed up with?

Doh!

I've managed to fail the IQ test for membership...

Up and running again, thanks Dogss

Panic over...

Hopefully have a wee MOM floating about above my head soon too

Sorry, dogss, I realized after I posted that NYC reference that it was actually you. Where in Bklyn? I'm in Morningside Hts. Okay, fine, call it South Harlem if you like. Makes me sound meaner, anyway. Two doors down from the Cotton Club. In fact, I'm who's buried in Grant's Tomb (it's right up the street) ... you guys should all get plenty of free drinks with that little scrap of trivia.

Nobodys buried in grants tomb its a tomb. Groucho marx. Lets make a deal

Park slope the old part Carroll and third ave. Where everyone used to be Italian Irish black and white working class, not 24 year old millionaires with ugly Jeans and awful haircuts.

Ah, you're a Slopester. I know it well. Friends, girl style, on Garfield across from the park and down your way, as well. Lovely 'hood, lousy hair.

Galahad's banner...

Gary-the-Pink, a revised banner for you in case you felt shorted by the original single syllable version.

I love the tank maneuvers idea! Once everyone is in a tank, we all turn and fire on the last plane until he's in a tank, too! Whomever gets credit for the kill gets to leave the game and go watch TV. Repeat as necessary until there's only one tank left in the entire mission. Then that last guy drives his tank into the lake and drowns.

Hello i talked with wigbomb , dent and ,hat in ring can vouch for me I want in....in an old dude 47....was new jersey devil...now in game is Mean Old Devil..I was a former member of 111th falcon squad. thank you in advance.

Thanks dent, doggs and bopes! I really appreciate it!!!

I agree with dent, a dogfight with the members is great idea. I forgot who's idea was but I also agree with speaking in code during games. Having our own language will be a huge advantage. Well that's my 2 cents. Oh by the way, I'll be out of commission for awhile. But I'll check the forum from time to time. |\/|

Man you guys are just growing and growing! What is the average age? I've heard socmuch talk of MOM its crazy. Saw two kn the air earlier today and couldn't help but laugh. And then saw your training about flying upside down and stuff. Priceless. Congrats on the success! Lookforward to seeing all of you in the air and watching you fly!

Some of you are probably wondering about my game moniker... Simply this. Among other things, I am an Adult Education Specialist. Whoop d doo , eh? My company name is The Pink Button and Associates and when I am in the gaming mood (for research purposes only you understand ;{} ) my game moniker is my nick name Gary The Pink, among others that shall remain nameless!

Hey Gary, thanks for sharing! I always wondered about your name. As for me, I'm Mavrk not because of the movie Top Gun but my favorite NBA team the Dallas Mavericks. Yes, you guess it, I'm from the great state of TEXAS but currently living in KS. The state of nothing to do

I noticed a few members revealed their occupation. In the interest of getting to know each member, what is everyone's occupation? I'm a commercial real estate appraiser for my county. It's not the most exciting career but it pays the bills. |\/|

Born and raised in Los Angeles and came to Fort Worth, TX for my first job and I've been here ever since. I know a few of you are from Texas and as they say around here, I'm not a Texan but I got here as fast as I could! I'm a software project manager but started as a software engineer. I wonder if Z has any openings? First order of business...eliminate tank spawn killing in dogfight mode!

Oh, Wig...thanks for the banner. Love it!
