Excellent features, and very user friendly... great commentary about the game. - Blake Taylor" I'd like it to say " - Blake Taylor, player since 1988," or "- Blake Taylor, Smithton Squadron Champion" or something like that.
So, for the following players, please respond on this thread and tell me a) the year you started playing, and b) what honors, championships or titles I have to choose from to list behind your name. Thanks.

Any local squadron honors (non-Indy) are of particular interest. Thanks again, and if you have any questions about your quote being used on our site, please see our POLICY section on the MISSION STATEMENT page.

Stephen, well you know mostly about me being a local Indy guy. But If I'm not mistaken the first time I played was probably around 1997 at your house.
As far as titles: I am the reigning Red Baron Fight champ and as you know I also won the 2003 Armistice Day Fits Tournament with a score of 147 (which incidentally was the single-highest scoring game in the history of the event). For what it's worth I placed 3rd in the 2001 title event as well. I am also a Pastor and licensed minister.

Thanks Stephen

Very good. Thanks.
George, what year did you win the Society Open? And were your Team Tourney titles in 05 and 03?

You're right Stephen, I not only forgot about Lilac Ecadrille in 2002, but I also forgot I am the Gencon Open Champion in 2005!

Stephen-
I first played back in 1987-88. I cut my teeth at UW Madison with the likes of George Henion and Al Christensen.
Notable 'victories' include 1st place Winter Fantasy 1994, 1st place Dawn Patrol Summer Revel 1997 (a summer gameing weekend in Milwaukee-long defunked now, as is winter fantasy), and Co-Champion 1999 Society Open. Otherwise, in general, I'm a tough nut to chase off in gameplay (something I take a bit of pride in).
I take credit for hosting the pre-GenCon warm-up when it was in Milwaukee for serveral years running (from early 1990's until it's relocation in Indy). I found this fun to run. I was very pleased to see the event continue as the torch is passed-on to those members in Indy-Kudos guys. I think it shows the love we all have for the game and the desire to squeeze just a few more hours of gaming in a con! I look forward to seeing you guys this August (count one more guy from Milwaukee)
I've been living in Milwaukee since 1991 so I fly with a hodge-podge of members in the area. Other 'titles' I hold are: husband an father of twin girls.
