Well, I'm central time, so that's actually a good time for me

Also, how do I get a bay12 clan tag?

No. I suppose there are similarities, but I'm fairly certain angry birds doesn't let me charge into a battalion of knights with a car made of circular saws.

Hit the social tab on the main menu, should give you an option to add a clan tag.

Well, you do have a busy life, what with keeping tabs on wild, rough-and-tumble forum members while sorting out the drama between your twenty two inner lesbians.
Your drunk posts continue to baffle me.
Welcome to Reality.

Inviting people to chat seems to be working pretty well for this :)

Ydgrad, do you want my half of the footage? Or should I self publish them?

EDIT: Also, If you want mine, what video format would you prefer?

Well that was awesome, the Good Ship Hallways utterly raped and pillaged. I'm also impressed with how Girlinhat performed with Magmacarp, drawing all the fire away from us :P

Anyways, I'm interested in the footage you guys shot, can't wait to see it :D

That was amazing. Not only did we not lose, we didn't even die a single time! And how many victories in a row? Crazy awesome, guys!

I especially loved being on the top Mercury gun. I was actually able to hit crap with it, compared to the flamethrower on the goldfish(when we lost that first time due to me choosing the game, though we did make it pretty close), but when we moved to the Mobula....

That was really nice! I only joined for the last couple of games, but I can confirm Girlinhat's tendency to draw all the fire! It was great, and very stressful at times. We did go down once - ruining what would otherwise have been a clean wipe. That being said, Armok can only be appeased by the blood of dwarves, so we played our part!

Also, this stuff that's happening with Guns of Icarus? It needs to start happening with "all the games" :)

Well, it was also a bit hectic on the Mobula at times, especially during that King of the Hill match, what with flying into every dust cloud and all :P. Actually, when we won we were wondering how the heck we didn't die at that that game, due to all the damage to every system we took :)

Yeah, Girlinhat did a great job in being in the right place at the right time.

I've got raw footage of the 3 matches being uploaded to youtube at the moment, should be up in a few hours. Massive props to the Magmacarps and the Swag Mobile's crews for keeping the enemies so distracted that second match that the Hallways Mobula was free to keep firing at them the entire match unhindered. The mobula crew's performance was great, good job putting up with my wonky flying and somehow keeping us alive that entire last match despite all the dust devilry breaking ALL OF THE THINGS on our ship repeatedly.

The thing is, I pilot aggressively, predatory I like to think.  Keep an eye on the target, fixate on THIS ship, and keep the main guns to bear on it.  Scan the surroundings for other ships, watch for lurkers or someone trying an ambush, but otherwise do everything possible to keep the main guns fixed on the target as frequently as possible.

This ultimately makes my ship an incredibly high-threat target, as I keep the enemy at point blank range, or maximum 2 ship-lengths away, and just ride their ass hard.  If the enemy attempts to ignore me and go for another target, then they end up getting a cluster of rockets in their engines and a shredded balloon.  This is my ultimate objective, to be a 'tackle' and just grab one or two ships and occupy the entirety of their attention.

Luckily we have some FINE engineers.

Also:
Gaining levels gives you unlocks.
Unlocks give you new costumes.
Apparently you do NOT have to pay for them!
