After several long nostalgic conversations with my fellow GOIO veterans, and after being called "The Old Man" of Guns of Icarus (though i think that not to be true) I have decided to create this, aptly named " The Hall of Fame" Where i put forward that all of us old folk, pass down the legacies of the days of old to the up and coming generations. Those who never knew the Legend of Phoebe the dead-eye Lumberjack Gunner, or the Legacy of the original Paddling and SMAC. Before the days of the gat mortar, when we used the gat flak. So i say, let us commemorate the memories of those who have faded in time, revive their memory, revive the old meta's. Anything that just makes you think... " Those were the days"

I remember back to the first training day that was ever held, a 3v3 mashup of both vets and incoming players, jokes were made and tempers were tried, a great evening that ended with mostly vets running harpoon only squids.
-
I remember the flakfish.
and the old flamers...
and when they released the lumberjack and it was OP AF...
and when they they teased the manta ray and everyone thought it was huge...
oh GOI. where have we gone.

oh GOI. where have we gone.
To the edge of the horizon and beyond.

The absolute biggest change to the game I remember was the gatling range nerf/spread buff of 1.3.3. It really changed the game a lot.

I know this is silly, but I miss the lumberfish. It was just so. much. fun.

But the lumber-fish is still here, and it still works!

Does anyone know what happened to Jessica Kitai?

But no one will fly it for me T-T

Does anyone know what happened to Jessica Kitai?
Our crew, one drunken night... I don't know if that seriously did her in, but we did not see her on much after our encounter(s).
When we were but n00bs, she said in global that she was one of the best pilots in the game. We were like, "Bitch, pleeaaase" because alcohol.
Charon and Mach even tried to talk her back into playing some more, many months ago, but she never really came around.

When the Junker was actually a flying pile of junk that no one touched but me, that was a sad day when they buffed it to hell and back.

hydrogen uppercut

Jessica and Varuuu, Lockheart ... haven't seen both of them.
-
^ Yeah, where is Lockheart. He's really evasive these-days. I heard that he became so pro, that GOIO un-installed itself, so that everyone wouldn't be wrecked by him.

and after being called "The Old Man" of Guns of Icarus
I might take that title.
Lets see:
Double mercs.
Old flak.
One stack fire disables.
Fire tool cooldowns never working properly.
Heatsink being required.
Harpoons working....ish.
Hwacha unveiling.
LJ OP.
Arming times come around.
Spire?
The broken ship mechanics.
The fix from those mechanics.
Lol banshee spamz.
Fire cooldowns are supposed to work?
Mobula looks greattttttt.
Mines are silly.
HAPPY 1 YEAR!
Dyes?
ALL THE BALANCE, HAIL AWKM. (includes gat, carronades, and mercs)
What are my spawns doing?
Artemis is a thing?
My junker sure does turn fast.
Tried to go in order based on memory, but I probably messed it up somehow. Ah well.

I remember when the Pyra was first unveiled, the skies were filled with arrows streaming towards you for days on end after that.

Don't forget the Fjords tournament, Zill. I seem to recall that your group had to wait... One hour or two hours? Either way, Spaceman's fault for not showing up.
-
Let's take this time to pour some out for Satchmo and Pheebs.
Gone, but not forgotten.
-
Satchmo is still around, Im playing with him from time to time.

I've tried to repetitively remove that final from my brain. See: "Old Flak."

Ahh man. My first night of playing, on December 22, 2012. I had bought the game for my friends, Me, WonderBread, Quinzy Scoundrel and Leymil: Ruling a single lobby of other scrubby level 1's like us. I had insisted on playing, so my "veteran" friend Quinzy taught me the ropes, while shouting at me not to fly into rocks. Man, that was probably the first time I ever spent drinking in that game, and the nauseating movement of the ship made me hurl my first.
Then it happened. Suddenly, some person called -B- JessicaKitai appeared, we wered confuzled, because it was the first time me, Leymil and WonderBread had ever seen a Spire, we were just flying with the tried and tested builds that Quinzy told us. That's when I first realized there was a captains chat. I never got a response form Jessica, but he was very keen on telling me not to leave his side when running into battle. Told us to "Wait" and "Don't goddamn run in" all the time. What a scrub, who even does that? AND WHAT DOES A TACTIC EVEN MEAN?! it's probably a made up word, for people who're too afraid to lochnagar flak someone in the gut and scalp their balloon with a one-hit disable flamethrower. Pshh.
I told him: "Dude, aeimrth sarreh, doo trunk toe flai. But *hic* I'll destrict them n' you pepper thar bums.", about to have my first nausea induced emergency stomach-fluid-ejection. but I soldiered on, MAKING SURE EVERYONE IN MY SKYPE CALL KNEW I WAS TOO DRUNK TO FLY ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. And charged in, WonderBread had the gun, and man did he have that gun. Pop pop, the flak kills, but for some inexplicit reason, the enemy hull was down and dead before I could charge into them. I asked my game-liaison what the hell we hit them with, and Quinzy responded soundly, with irritation in his voice: "That's a sniper tho, yeep, kills just about anything longrange. Check your map, your ally is camping in our spawn". I PRESSED M TO SEE MY MAP AND CONFIRM MY LOCATION, and indeed, the spire was neatly lined so that it could turn both main and front light gun to snipe out anyone, lined with the flakfish, we were indestructible.. ...Against anyone who was as clueless as I.
Didn't see much of him after that, died a few times, but never lost a match.
