Very good Falcon....most people never pick up on that. I live less than 80 miles from where that word was found carved on a tree, and the colonists had vanished.

I actually got the idea from Steven King's "Storm of the Century". This was the method to which I employed it....

Falcon sometimes have a few seconds of brilliance. But that's it a few seconds. :lol: :lol:

The word Croatoan was also used in the movie 'Mindhunters'.

Welcome to the boards, croatoan!

Post by :FI:Genosse » Tue Mar 27, 2007 6:57 am

It´s always good to see people willing to join the squad. :)

But would you tell us why you want to join this one? What are your relations to Ireland? Are there any? For how long do you fly flight sims in general and IL-2 in special? Do you consider yourself to be a rookie, an average or an ace pilot? What do you think about wainscotted sheeps in high heels?

Don´t misunderstand me, please. But I´m sure there´re others like me in the squad who´d certainly appreciate it if you could give us some basic information about you.

Anyhow, we use Teamspeak for comms and meet eachother in the lounges of Hyperlobby. Meet the chaps with the :FI: and =FI= tags there and join the aerial virtual fun!

Sláinte, croatoan! :beer:

Gen is okay,

but if he asks you to meet him behind the Buntes Theater be sure to bring a friend ...

with a knife.

Yeah, Gen you're cool, but please don't you ever grin like in your pic in 'Who Dares' thread. I'm still in therapy. :lol: Yes, I think newcomers should tell us a little background about themselves.

Well, I live in the USA and as far as I know, I'm of no Irish descent. But I do enjoy a good pint in a pub from time to time, as well as the ever popular Limerick.

I'm a veteran level player - as I have been playing this sim(as well as others) for almost 6 years now. As for my reason for choosing the FI, I was really impressed with the skins, and the initiative to actually create squad skins. This shows me that you guys are hardcore. I like that.

Hardcore but with a soft underbelly.

Jaysus... as bad as the wiff.....

Welcome mate!

You don't have to be rich to fill my world... or Irish....

In fact, some might say you're better off with NO Irish blood in you at all.

But I'm not one of those people. I think everyone deserves a bit of Irish in them.

Got any cute sisters?

:lol:
