Oma Herta.
Here's his fairly non-existant website: http://www.bzflag.de
Legolas, he's one of the old-school BZFlag players when it was a very small community. Pretty much not involved anymore, he was once an ace with GM. However, we have so many good players now, that I bet his skill level matches the best here. New BZFlag players join daily, and the time it takes these newbies to ramp up in skill amazes me.
BZFlag is a much larger community than it's ever been, so the learning curve is much shorter than it was a year or more ago. New players learn from those before them and have access to more players and more community resources than before.

So true Spiff.
I think BZFlag players who've been involved in the community longer tend to "remember the good ol' days" a little too much.
Good memories are bound to be embellished and a bit exaggerated in our minds. Still, nothing wrong with a few good ol' stories of legends past.
Spiff, promise me something. If I hang around the community for yet another year, and start to "remember the good ol' days", please kick me... or give me some more of whatever I was smoking.
The community grows, things change, and new faces appear. With growth, new sites, new boards, and new aspects of the community emerge. As a whole, it's never for the worse, but it might kill the sense of a small and tight community.

First, what ARE you smoking? LoLDervish DuKot wrote: please kick me... or give me some more of whatever I was smoking.
Most times, change is a good thing. Someday I'll probabily be too busy to play BZ Flag. And then, when I come back in a couple of years, people are going to be saying "Hey! I remember him from the 'old days'!".. and about then, I'm going to get scared.
On a minor note..... I hope THIS board NEVER changes.. 'cause it's the best and 'cause Fiber, Patlabor, and proton are excellent moderators. Oh yeah... and also because it's got cool Emoticons and a QUICK REPLY BOX!!!!!!! So for now.... let the party go on, and LONG LIVE BZBB.BAKADIGITAL.COM!

exactly dervish.
I wouldn't quite label it as "the good old days" it was more tight knit. YOu could sign on and know everybody on the server, and the list of servers wasn't 2 pages long. It's more wondering were all the good guys you used to know went.
And yes, Oma always went under green.

Beware! I'm going to clone myself and spread those clones all over the world!

lol, Bagheera.
You forgot, razz likes his milk warm, as it's easier to digest. Now, pass me that sparkling water, I need a tingle.
So, if we're that old here...
That would mean captain_proton pops 20 different medication pills in the mornings with his prune juice, Gerbil is still in the can, getting that laxative to work, and Oma Herta is in bed with a permanent IV.

Good point. There's no argument there.captain_proton wrote:the point isn't that he was better than anyone is today, its that at the time he was the undisputed best, at least if you gave him a missile *grin*
