[[DracO]:.Grisha]

Thats what DracO has been missing all along!

Gives them that extra protection from all the screen radiation.

Archibass?

"Fleggymedes" is more likely.....

I dunno if i should be flattered or insulted......

and devotees and fans of Bushranger and Rebel Ned Kelly might be a bit miffed too.

(I wont mention the fans of Hellenic Philosophers either....)

I gotta go somewhere in space and ponder on this "Archibass" thing for a while.

What in hell were you lot drinking when you thought this up ramBler...rocket fuel?

@mr Meady .....hmmmm.......i rather you'ld not poke fun at [bass], were doing OK , I'd be more concerned about what i might write or produce (in Vogonic Prose about the UCoS clan), just dont tempt me......


I, "Fleg Matik" claim to be the Only Chap who can truly lay claim to being the Original "Ferrous Dueller" on GOI and as such only I can wear this Homemade Helmet.

Much Like the famous "Ned Kelly" (and certainly not a deliberate act over time on my part either) I have been become somewhat rebellious in my attitude to GOI Forums and openly critical of some of the inequitable aspects of the Forum's Admins and some pilots behaviour on the GOI Forums as well.

I posted RANT on GOI Forums much like Ned did with his "Jerilderie Letter" to the Victorian authorities of his times so i have a parrallel there as well.

I reckon "Fleg_Matik" is the only GOI FL Pilot Worthy to use Ned's Hand Crafted Helmet for his own Avatar...and RP.

It Is Mine alone to Wear On and In GOI Spaces.

Anyone else is a pretender and should think carefully about mocking my RP identity as it was an accident originally I chose Ned's Iron Helmet originally (Thanx to inspiration from the Avatars of TBK's The Black Knight and SLY's Imperial Stormtrooper Helmets).

I feel that it is mine alone to use with Fleg's RP role as its already been scripted into The Tales of TBK already, so as far as who was 1st is concerned
..... you is all too late....

Ned's Helmet Is Fleg's Helmet.

See You In Serious Space Soon,

I don't know how you'd go persuading everyone to wear buckets on their heads :?

Do what we do, fly naked

[<[Atreides]>Meady]

Wasn't trying 2 insult anything, i just admired how you (Fleggy) and TBK wore some sore of metal on your heads and you as leaders made a "teamwork" image by doing it..you both looked similar, hence i thought Archi should do it too ^^ And the first helmet i found suitable happened to b Ned's.

I'm pretty ataken back by your response Fleggy...and even if u did write something about UCoS, it wouldn't bother me...we've been thru more sh** than any other clan and still here trying to do our best by fixing our problems...We've even had screenshots of our members swearing and dockraping posted on GoI. It'd be nice if you weren't so harsh on everyone apart your own clan. Lighten up

@hans Side-effects from cardi shipping?

G'Day Mr Meady,

Umm I just made a point that i thought my avatar was being ripped off for a joke and later discovered ( cos of the RANT and my subsequent BAN from GOI Forums ) that it (Archibass miontage) MAY have been inspired by Archimedes' and my sudden abdications and subsequent rapid departures from local Sirrius Space on GOI.

However with little from anyone to illuminate me further I posted a statement about my Avatar's inspiration and why i claim it as mine alone to use...

I have no problems with UCoS as a clan and never did (even after the infamous UCoS /BoB/DracO/bass clash at West point (i think) at the time,) if anything, i was actually having a "private chuckle" at the crisis in UCoS command (bass and DracO hadnt copped a dose of RANT at that time either so i was cocky as well as 'bas's had had few crisis similar to the Westpoint FFA. and I and TBK had mostly 'respect' from the [bass] Pilots and the decisions we made about clan conduct policy and direction.

In any case i wasnt at West Point that day and could only read the reports as they came into the forums.

Mr. Meady, I have got a sense of humour (yes its true) and i copped a lot of derision in PMs and Posts from immature 'dweebs' on GOI (adults and teenagers alike) , before i went into RANT mode (I was after all relatively 'quiet' around 2 years on GOI Forums , wasnt i?)

my biggest whinges ever were

1. BoBs perceived RP COP and Server COP "were are never wrong" attitude. I know something about what goes on in BoB command (now) and cohesive unanimous decisions and a consistent and clear model for RP are not one of them..i got peeved (eventually) by repeatedly losing RP Cardi shipments at 525 units (2 Droms) per time arriving in an apparently 'empty' NY.

Using f1, BoBs appeared beside the manhatten Dock and i was destroyed, often without warning (as per the typical RP "code of conduct" normally followed by Cop clans in NY)..
I put up with that and the Bods shooting down escorted and tagged Starfliers in startup runs in NY made it easy to have a dig at Checkov et al as well. Hardly fair challenges ey?

As far as RP and Cardi policing goes I always respected the fair treatment offered to me by the [FED]s in Kusari System.
Often I could escape in one Drom (or was allowed to flee) as they destroyed the other Drom, it was a fair exchange and the FEDs played some good cat and mouse RP with my Matik fleet coming in from Hokkaido on a few occasions (they waited for me to reach mid system before ambushing and shooting a tradelane down...thats the fun i miss nowadays with the ever vigilant FEDs now gone from GOI Sirrius Spaces...and only a bunch of warrior tribes as clans to fightand play against nowadyas anyway....

2. My tolerance over a very long time regarding the barrage of spam in 'bass' authored threads by BoD "duffers" and the crappy comments embedded with insults about my posting style and length from ,known FL Modders, Cheats and Server Banned Players, who (if moderated properly on GOI Forums) had no place to have the right to stand in the front row throwing stones and tomatoes at me either)

3. The misspelling and general derision of Clan 'bass' which is now a Veteran Clan on GOI (show me where i'm in error if you reckon this statement is wrong, Clan [bass] has been established since March 2004AD (0804AS) and has seen many other clans with higher ambitions and larger membership, come and go bcos of a lack of fortitude, vision and reasonable leadership.

4. the flames and posts that would follow any posts (Flegillations or not), I made on GOI forums and the instant thread locking by a certain 'Mod' that occurred before i had the time to respond made any posting seem futile if the 'Mod' bod was biased against me anyway....

I came back with The Geenspammer device (i spoke of on GOI Forums) that i devised to spam the Private Green Chat Channel on the FL Server to a particular Forum 'Pain' when i saw him in sirrius space. 'GS' was initially only a virtual bluff until i found i had a need for it so i "made it", tested it, it worked too well and i didnt ever plan to use use it.

I did eventually ( i had a good reason too) and had a target for Green Spammer and you can ask Outlaws-Stephen/Steven what it does cos he got a full dose of it after i busted him resetting the server deliberately one night on GOI. (he denies this and i have thr Frapped footage that shows the resets and you can even hear me curse as well when a L40+ mission was lost when he did it.

I took the Redhaze flaming of my posts up in a freindly PM to him on GOI and when i got even more insults and some (very private and personal information leaked by "a mutual RL and FL freind") back from Redhaze , i went and initiated RANT..

MR Meady you have a poor sense of ironic or black humour and that is just a difference in what is perceived to be 'funny' between us.. nothing else.

Consider my FL sitiuation for a nannosecond and ask yourself why i might appear to be a little angrier and resentful about GOI Forum moderation, RANT (still unlocked last time i looked) , the only GOI Forumer BANNED (without a single PM warning), and my sensitivity about criticism of a Neutral Clan like [bass] and [DracO] from the usual 'narrow minded' suspects on the GOI forums...

Due to RANT and Clan moral falling I have also resigned as the 1st 'Boss' of Clan [bass] (NOT the 1st Leader that was "bassdude2000") I was sort of the 4th ot 5th Leader i think...in anycase i assumed control in january 2005 without opposition and TBK and I built bass up (not back to) what the Clan is today...ONLY TBK could have replaced me so easily and quickly and thats why i aknowledged my mistake and the rest is FL History....

The Alliance with DracO was the best thing [bass] could have hoped for and I hope it stays intact for a long while yet.

I always considered that The BoB domination of Liberty was gonna happen, given the numbered fighter stratedgy they had to use to beat us, their unreasonable timing laying claims (we fixed that idea quickly with counter claims made on the day of Battle)..note the desperate changes in Fighter number coding of the BoBs when we were almost equal in talent and resolve and note how many clans have acceptted this overt obfucation in order to hide from the foe to avoid being "wolfpacked" in battle by 7 of the Foes Combat Pilots at once)(bluddy cowards i reckon), fight under a known identity or dont bother bnragging about the kills in unidentifieable VHFs that could be anyone at the controls...Redhaze used the 'fame' of a deleted character's name to (supposedly) prove to GOI, i was a dud dueller....I denied as i didnt recognise the name of his ship (then) or who was really flying it (then) and in any case i couldnt duel for poo and i never bragged about a quick easy kill ever anyway..

My Avatar is my FL identity and so is the name of my RP Character Fleg_Matik......I go to some trouble to maintain all aspects of the RP character and even if my true personality comes through by accident or design then thats part of Fleg's persona too..

IF I ever got the chance ( i doubt i'd accept an apologyu from one particular MoD) I'd return to GOI Forums and poke a bit of fun at the other clans with RP 'taunts' if i thought they were "Wearing the Emporer's New Clothes", i'd have a poke at UCoS too cos i figgure that if you cant take a gentle ribbing about your RP aspects and clan control of wayward pilots then you gotta expect a bit more "attitude" in what were once my usual humourous posts on GOI when youy royally screw up.

You aint ever copped a dram of hatred or dersion from this Fleg so i wanna see why you are so taken aback at a post that has a miniscule reference to UCoS being the recipient of one of my fleggalaltions...in any case its all a moot point anyway...i only publish here now, so you gotta expect some heat and jocularity aimed at you in these clans' forum.

I aint even registered on yours yet ...dont tempt me......

See You In Space!
