Roctober madness!

[Ozark Wizard]

Good evening folks! Ozzie here, with a couple of propositions for all y'all!

Firstly, I would like to invite folks to join in the October bombing run. Yah, it's time for a fresh recipient of our attention.....

Lastly, we have a mystery afoot!

Alas, we are running out of victims, so the annual mystery is going to be something rather macabre and most likely a tad off beat. Anyone wishing to participate please also respond on this thread.

I have it on good authority that there will be a special prize awarded to the person who signs up and can solve the spooktacular riddle that we'll be puzzled with! :cheers:

Come one, come all!

 

[Blackhorse]

In.


Hard to imagine we could run out of targets. We seem to have hit a bunch twice...or more. But the membership here is really rather large. Plenty of fodder.

 

[Timbo]

In for both.

It would be better if I had more than maybe a couple of dozen current addresses. Seems folks don't let that type of intel loose these days!

 

[Blackhorse]

Addresses are easy.

Secret PM sent.

 

[Fr_Tom]

In on the run.

 

[History Prof 1861]

I’ll ride again...

[Brewdude]

In like Flynn boss.


Cheers,

I'm in

 

[DrT999]

In for the bombing run!

 

[BriarBeagle]

I'd be personally offended if you didn't include me.

I do love a good mystery.

Hello Red Leader, this is Red 2. In for the bombing run, over.

 

[Blackhorse]

OK guys...I’m baaaaack.


I have gladly accepted the role of Co-Commander for this Special Mission...
potentially the most significant mission of the year.

Hey...it’s...

Rocktober Madness...
The Halloween Mission!!!

I’ll handle recruitment and related activities.
I’ll be assigning your target.
I’ll be taking in your tracking data.
I’ll be ducking in and out of the fun, but not in the contest.
I’ll likely be doing other mini contests or giveaways.

So I think Ozzie will be doing the Special Mystery Event,
but for other, more mundane aspects, connect with me if needed.

Glad to be back.  This should be epic.

 

[Ozark Wizard]

Thanks so much for the assistance sir! :cheers:

Interesting special mission...

I feel like this is 617 squadron stuff.  Will we have to bounce our packages into the targets?

Obscure historical reference from the history guy...

You mean like the dam busters?

Ahem, well gentlemen, now that I have yer attention...

Here’s the Mission Roster (to date):

1. Commander Ozark Wizard
2. Co-Commander Blackhorse
3. Timbo
4. Fr_Tom
5. History Prof 1861
6. Brewdude
7. GeoffC
8. DrT999
9. BriarBeagle
10. Stick

Hmmm.  Well, we’re not running on the decimal system around here...so there’s no reason not to build the ranks up.  We used to fly with THIRTY pilots. Can you even conceive of the mayhem that would bring? We had to assign two targets in a special concession to the national letter carrier’s union.

I’d like each pilot on the roster to make a personal invitation to a “friend” here.  If a new OR returning pilot gets listed on the roster and names you as getting them to sign up...you’ll be put in running for a very nice prize. Is it a contest?  Well, more like a “reward event”.

Cut and paste the following to your target, if you like...

——————-

You are cordially invited to apply - to be included as a pilot in the
Special Rocktober Halloween Bombing Mission.

Fly with the finest.
Ten of your brothers are signed up (as of 10/4).
We need your help.
Send a PM to Blackhorse, asking for a commission.
Pick some appropriate goods from your stash
Ship it to arrive at our SECRET target on the assigned day...
Bombing Day is Friday, October 26.

When all the bombs hit on the same day, all hell breaks loose.
Postal workers yell and scream.
Angry spouses (assuming broken spending promises) go WILD.
Massive damage, terror, mayhem.
All in good fun.

Special contests and “door prizes” for pilots.
Incredible Mystery Event to solve.

Join the Halloween Mayhem. PM Blackhorse today.
Be sure to name the one that “recruited” you!

OK - I just copied the above invitation and have PM’d it to FIVE guys here on the site.  Took all of about two minutes.  Now I potentially have FIVE ENTRIES in the big door prize extravaganza.  If they sign up.

Invite List:

swhipple
Jefe1037
glassjapan
Ocelot55
DrumsAndBeer

When you invite someone, we should list them so there’s no overlap.

I have summoned the following brothers to inform them of our need for additional pilots:

AdamCordray
Huffelpuff
