I believe I played with Salan on my first game. He was like the tour guide in my favourite part of a museum, whatever section that is. He didn't stomp me, as much as, 'encouraged' my units off the field. Back with teamspeak, and Tiger Aces, and different costs & whatnot. I rather liked that.
I also remember losing alot of games playing with you because you had a nasty habit of dropping in game back then. I can't remember when you started using Calliopes, but I know you didn't use them during the initial wars that you fought in.
I don't know about dropping, but I had bad bad bad connection problems with people, concerning my ports and whatnot. Fldash finally fixed it for me. I can't remember when I started using calliopes.
