To table your enemies, to see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentations of their women.
This sounds like a quote. From what?
Conan the Barbarian
New Mantra
Fly Deliberately.
Fly to Win.
It's the American way.
Fly Competitively: To play by the rules, and treat your opponents with respect. To act as though every game is a high level event in which your utmost best is expected, both in terms of behavior and gameplay.
I hereby promise to adhere to the New Mantra as best I can at all times.
That is called sportsmanship and should be basic mode of operandi for everyone flying competitively anyway, because that is the default in any sport. And still does not rule out flying casual in training sessions.
I don't know why your crying I yelled surprise first.
To table your enemies, to see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentations of their
womendroids.
Seems even more in theme this way... ^
Edited by ABXYDuring the Intentional Draw debacle, there were many insults hurled at players who did intentionally draw, including some insults from Doug Kinney (the originator of the 'fly casual' thing) towards Paul Heaver because he intentionally drew.
This prompted others to look for other phrases because fly casual had become so tainted by a bunch of people who insisted that flying casually was important as they were yelling insults at other players. It's quite ridiculous having someone taking plastic spaceships sooooo seriously that they'd insult you because they think you're taking plastic spaceships too seriously.
I particularly liked, "Be excellent to each other". People should be polite to others in games regardless of whether or not they deny forgotten triggers or intentionally draw.
Casual is for wimpy Hulk-a-maniacs.
Play with pants down: To play with your pants down intentionally, and to have your opponent doubt your sanity. To distract them from the game at hand and to gain a psychological advantage, but to also lose a psychological advantage because, well, your pants are down.
I didn't get this screen name by playing anything with my pants on, I'm sure as hell not going to start now.

"Crush your enemies. See them driven before you. Hear the lamentations of their women." Conan
To take a page from AURYN:
Fly as you will
Take the pilots you want, have fun and don't be led by the hive mind into believing what is good and what is undeserving.
Casual is for wimpy Hulk-a-maniacs.
Great now I have an urge for slim Jim's.

"To locate, close with and destroy the enemy by fire and maneuver and/ or repel enemy assault by fire and close combat." Were brothers if you know where that's from!

These are my Dice. There are many like them, but these ones are mine. My dice are my best friends. They are my life. I must master them as I must master my life. Without me, my dice are useless. Without my dice, I am useless. I must roll my dice true. I must roll better than my enemy who is trying to kill me. I must crit him before he evades me. I will... My dice and I know that what counts in X-wing is not the ordnance we fire, the maneuvers on our dials, nor the rerolls we make. We know that it is the hits that count. We will hit... My dice are human, even as I, because they are my life. Thus, I will learn each of them as a brother. I will learn their weaknesses, their strength, their sides, their tendencies, their colors and their feel. I will keep my dice clean and ready, even as I am clean and ready. We will become part of each other. We will... In the presence of the Force, I swear this creed. My dice and I are the defenders of my side of the table. We are the masters of our enemy. We are the saviors of my life. So be it, until victory is ours and there is no enemy, but peace!
Always Gonk! Always Gonk! Always Gonk!
I know it is hard for the big dogs to play against the best every game. This is why I am blessed being a lower skilled pilot because that makes my games easy and I never get tired.
Starting with "Fly Casual" and adding NEVER CONCEDE!!!
