The Blade Archives
The Bloody Blade is the Muskies traditional gathering and virtual watering hole for years and years, probably since our inception. These days the Blade’s based on PHP-based forum but up until mid 2008 we used an old style Comments page. For nostalgia’s sake, I’ve saved and slightly reformatted these comments, which range back to about 2001 or 2002 (at least). Several old Air Warriors and flyers from other games visited our site and left comments. I’ve tried not to mess too much with their original look, spellings, etc., so that their original flavor isn’t lost. This stuff may be of no interest to anyone except us, but it seemed a shame to delete all these memories. Here you go (listed from oldest to newest):

Hello All! [note: this was my greeting to start the comments off.]
Welcome to the Bloody Blade! Thanks for dropping by. The Muskies’ traditional officers’ (or “O”) club, the Bloody Blade is the place to speak up, ask questions, say hellos or goodbyes, or if need be, rant and rave about whatever bee’s gotten under your bonnet.
Oh, and the Thought Police are hard at work, so keep the comments clean, will ya?!

Hi Wrath and Madda,
Had a minute to look up the Muskes’ website again and see what it’s up to. Under construction is the answer. I know Wra is busy. I’m playing in AH H2h arena in the mornings, my handle is Soj45 so look me up sometime.
I sure do miss AW. I’ve gotten sooo rusty over the last year of not flying. I want to up grade so I can play WWIIOL with Wra sometime.
Better sign off 4 now, Soj

Hey there Soji,
Just acknowledging you message. You and I have already been in touch since your message above, but it’s not polite to ignore messages, SOOOO I’m responding. I’ve sent an e-mail to Madda to let him know that you were wanting to chat.

Just wanted to say thanks for the website and all the info. I was one of the last players left in AW3 and moved to AH with the squad.(Dover Dawgs)
As for the comment above just remember when your good your going to get called a few names =)
I fly with the Rooks exclusively in AH, so I’ll be watching for you rascals next time I’m up. <S>

Hi Razer,
Thanks for stopping by. You’re welcome here anytime. AW had a lot of faults, but dang, I sure miss it something awful. The hours I spent playing that game were some of the best times I ever had (at least while sitting down, hehehe).
In AH, look for Kumori, FLS, Cas and every now and then, yours truly. We fly as Knights (that sword fetish of ours, dontcha know… ;-).
See ya online, Razer; keep your six clear!

Looking to join the Musketeers…saw no e-mail so I thought I would post.
Fighter Ace for almost and year….learning and hungry to learn more …mostly self-taught …with a love of WWII aviation since I was a kid.
I have the rank of Maj. as the BlondeKnight in Fighter Ace. I have not been scoring well since I switched to the X45 Saitek stick …so I have not flown under the BlondeKnight name to preserve my rank until I master this stick or throw it in the trash…which ever comes first!
Thanks for you time….let me know ..if I have an opportunity here.
Respectfully,
The BlondeKnight

Yo Rapier, Killer here
Nice to see Musketeers still going after all these years. Nice training section.

Tally Ho Mates. Sorry I’ve been MIA for a while he he. I was a POW for a couple of years but I just busted out and after a very difficult journey over rivers, mountains hill and dales and oceans I’m back.
A little worse for wear, but I am flying AH for now and getting back in shape. I always use the radio so give me a ding some time. My login is pjwmanmskt I think… When flying my id is pjwmskt.
Tally ho again. Check Six.

My apologies for the lack of response to recent visitors. My work has kept me extraordinarily busy lately (and will do so for some time to come…).
KILLER: I’ll pass your note and e-mail address to Rapier. Thanks for visiting. I keep trying to get some of these guys into “that” game, but so far I’m a squad of one over there. See you online.
BLONDKNIGHT: Thanks for your interest in the squad. Please visit the “ABOUT US” page here on the website to learn how we go about recruiting and inviting new members.
FYTERJOCK: Thanks for stopping by. I don’t recognize your handle or RL name. Since you’ve been gone a couple of years from the scene, is it possible that you’ve mistaken us for the Musketeers Escadrille? In any event, again thanks for the visit!
