I'll kick a dime's worth into the topic, perhaps we are looking at it wrong...what if was pirate only and some manner of "public" input into the flavors of Pirate ships available through the use of new shiplist. Get your copy of SFB ruleset and SSD and come up with better configurations...2 v 2 w/ preselected ships so every one gets a chance to use their fave toy as option mount.

How 'bout something totally off-the-wall,
like cardies vs. Hydrans
Gorn vs. Hydrans
ISC vs. both of 'em

Just eliminate the 'common' races, lets fly something we'd never 'normally' fly.
NO Feds, Klinks, or Roms.

Should I take the bait on mirak stinking at PvP? I think KHH could show you a thing or 2. I already have, but the efforts of your mind to heal itself have erased that trauma.

The only thing KHH's ever shown me is they know how to run at spd 31 firing drones at you, don't think I've ever lost to one in an even ship match..
Actually (iirc) I've never lost to anyone in an even ship match, so really nothing against them.

And the only trauma I can recall from any fights with you was the lockjaw I got from yawning so much, really I can appreciate the spirit, but we both know a
Mirak-Lyran war would result in complete and utter humiliation of the Kzin players, and really- isn't flying Kzin in the first place humiliation enough?

Do you ever stop your blathering? For entertainment do you sit around listening to recordings of yourself? KHH won a ladder league title flying mirak a few years ago before ladder league numbers started to drop. You were my 1st kill flying mirak, Mr hotshot. Maybe your lockjaw yawning explains why you died in 6 minutes in that fancy CWLP various people posted at the time,was such a great ship.
Moggy lasted twice as long as you did and was the embodiment of perfect conduct, complimenting me on being a worthy opponent. You could use some lessons from him. I for one have had enough of your act. It is an act isn't it? Sigh.

"PS   LOL @ toronto"

Ottawa must be breathing a sigh of relief. Not having to deal with the Leafs upsetting them once again in the playoffs. Maybe a new team that has been dominated by the Sens in the regular season will kick their butts in place of the Leafs.  ;D


I am actually concerned frickin Boston might somehow possibly squeak in...  :o

What you talkin' about Willis?   :D  The Bruins are 10 points back of 8th with about a dozen games left. Unless Atlanta and Montreals' planes crash, Boston and Toronto will be golfing shortly. I'd put money on the panthers making it before the Bruins. I think I have 2 cents laying around. :P

Who cares? Isn't the NFL draft coming up?

It's obvious the Lyrans would be the Sens, an all round excellent team with few flaws.Dangerous in almost any siruation

Feds would have to be the Leafs, a number of over the hill players who still reminisce about their glory days



Somehow thinking of the combination of Canadians, Hockey, Lyrans, and the Dynaverse gives me a slightly different picture......

I'd like to point out that I do have my (minor) faults.
For instance I can't even remember the number of players I've killed in PVP, let alone who my first was flying
such and such a race, but I guess if they're few and far between it is likely a little easier .
And modestly I must confess I don't consider myself to the best PVP'r, I fully admit I've never managed to kill
DH .. and honestly I think I'm about the only one...

Still , perhaps in your delusional, jelaousy- filled ravings you have managed to hit upon a good  idea for a server

Lyran vs  Kzin might work, just have to see if we can get anyone to show up.

Missed this one sorry

Uh, yeah...It was only easy to remember killing you, as being fairly new to dyna, I thought the number of your posts here and your chest thumping therein meant that you were actually a good pilot. So much for name recognition.  I knew Moggy was because people other than him posted such. The same can't be said for you.

Not entirely brother hex...what I implied, was a limited playable shiplist...others would be restricted...ie 3-5 configurations of each from Escort to Heavy Cruiser only as playable (no cheese of any sort)--- a sort of generica concept getting away from the commen situation where the biggest cheese wins...skill with a generic line ship kinda sorta set up w/ all kinds of interesting, but unspecified campaign objectives for Victory Points (unspecified but you get the idea) All on a fairly small map and higher than recent DV. Hexes should be hard to flip....it should take a concerted effort. But Hex flipping decisions should be strategic in nature.

Ease up there Dax, Hexx should not be taken too seriously, he's just havin a little fun. You have to understand, his own PvP reputation is less than sparkling, its been a running joke for some time now. Lighten up and remember to have fun.  :)

Everytime I see this thread I get the Zep song stuck in my head:

 :music: :music: :music:

What is and what should never be

And if I say to you tomorrow,
Take my hand, child, come with me.
It’s to a castle I will take you,
Where what’s to be, they say will be.

*catch the wind, see us spin,
Sail away, leave today,
Way up high in the sky.
But the wind won’t blow,
You really shouldn’t go,
It only goes to show
That you will be mine
By takin’ our time. ooh!

And if you say to me tomorrow,
Oh what fun it all would be,
Then what’s to stop us, pretty baby,
But what is and what should never be.

* chorus

So if you wake up with the sunrise,
And all your dreams are still as new,
And happiness is what you need so bad,
Girl, the answer lies with you, yeah.

* chorus

Hey, oh
Oh the wind wont blow and we really shouldn’t go
And it only goes to show-ow-ow.
Catch the wind, we’re gonna see it spin
We’re gonna...sail, little girl
Do do do, bop bop a do-oh
My my my my my my yeah
Everybody I know seems to know me well
--but does anybody know I’m gonna move like hell
--but they’re never gonna know cause I move like hell.
(pick one...heh)

New server idea . . .

CANUCK CIVIL WAR!!!

In all seriousness, Lyran versus Mirak works out fine as long as BCHs ae treated the same as DNs as far as OOB is concered.
Who'd thunk that Star-castling was the root of all evil . . .
