OH Congrats Freedom Fighters on your clan
Messenger of the RTK clan
Being a Hero means you don't need a reason to help people.
Uh, Cei, what did we do? We have not won anything so far? Putting up a good challenge doesn't count... Nice try but no cigar...

I think what Cei meant An, was in reference to the topic of this thread which is the introduction of the FF Clan. He was simply congratulating all of you on that.
"Wake from death and return to life..."
I know, Elrich, was just baiting
Perhaps a few coins will fly my way ...

*tosses An a handful of Florins*
"Wake from death and return to life..."
Just to let you know that it is an insult to me Elrich, in case you didn't get it yet...

Women....
*goes and picks up coins*
*writes check instead*
lol, no, didn't know that An, but message received loud and clear. I'll toss my extra Florins at Goedfrey instead from now on.
"Wake from death and return to life..."
Check? still the wrong answer. Give us your credit card, that's the better answer.
OK, enough being a bad girl for the day, blame it on the weather...

It is still way too long to type in the heat of battle...
"Oh Look, Simuewhatthedamntypoisagainarghhh... too late he is routing again"
It feels good to be with all the nice,fun and honorable FF people
Louis, The Simurgh
PS; it is like the duckling... changed from Colombe (=dove in French) to goose to a kind of big goose, or the king of goose
Congratulations Freedom Fighters on your newest member, Simurgh.

Glad to see you find a 'home' Louis
We all know its because of the Ladies though, no point in denying it. You don't kid the kidder
So mr.Simurgh, be seeing you online
I remember seeing some FFs in Soldier of Fortune 2 MP.
I do not see any SOF2 section on the webn-site though. Could anyone confirm if FF does play SOF2 ?
Thanks.

That game is not an official independant division of FF, nor is it being set up on the moment AFAIK...
That does not mean some of us dont play it... Could be simply just FF'rs who got already a callsign on that server from other games and arent bothered to make new ones... Or perhaps it is indeed being scouted out if its suitable to expand to.... maybe they are just a different clan...
Would have helped lots of you had asked them what their FF stood for.... or if you posted their names
Thank you Tempiic.
I do not remember their names, but when asked what FF stands for, they disclosed ---> "Freedom Fighters".
They played well, and were very friendly.
I'll possibly run into them again.
Will let you know if I have any further details.

Simurgh... reminds me of Firdausi's tales... back in the days...
Er..anyway. Nothing of relevance.
Ignoranti, quem portum petat, nullus suus ventus est. -Seneca, Epistulae Morales, VIII, 71, 3
As an Oriental, I am always very impressed by Westerners who know more than just their own culture.
The Shahnameh of Firdausi, is a revered classic for the Orient. Firdausi, Omar Khayyam, Sa'di were some of my favorites in college. I love their work, it's an aspiration of what we wish to be, of what we hope we are.
"Though Death may take me in his cruel clutch
My verse will give men joy -
It is a monument Time cannot touch
Nor wind nor rain destroy."
--Firdausi--

Well, actually, it is of some relevance.
Many FF in MTW choose callsign related to mythical animals (Tempiic, Manticore, Gryphon, Phoenix, Unicorn...).
As I like to play Oriental factions, I thought about oriental tales as a source of inspiration...
Unfortunately I have not read Firdausi yet (it's on my list)... But the Simurgh made it to western culture throught Flaubert and Borges and that made the connection for me... See link in my sig...
Louis, the Simurgh
Edit; from FF fighters (doh) to FF in MTW...
I read that page in your sig, first time I saw it.
Here is a simple, Persian definition:
Symurgh, Semurgh: the fabulous griffin in Attar's Bird-Parliament symbolizing the Spirit of God; in Firdausi's Shahnama the foster-father and teacher of Zál.
From a website (you may know already). It's one of my favorites on Rumi:
Khamush

Urghhhhhh
No not really, my name has nothing to do with mythical animals (though the name on itself may have some mythical values, depending on the game you are playing )
Hmmm the only one outside of FF MTW who has a mythical based name would be Cerniic... where cern stands for Cernunnos (or whatever it is spelled)... Hmmm there's the Myth callsign as well. And I think Fetty is close becoming the mythical animal on our forums But besides these, few mythical animal names are used
Sinan,
The page on the sig is part of a literary bestiary project inspired by Borges (Borjes). It is not dedicated to a specific culture... I just put it as an introduction, and I was looking for a page with an illustration.. The site you put is much more complete and informative... Thanks for posting it.
The part I like about the Simurgh is the 30 birds looking for the Simurgh and changing into the Simurgh in the process.
Oh god we need a literary forum somewhere.
Louis the Simurgh,
Oh sinan... the next time you see them again, please say heya to them from tempy It may or may not ring a bell, depending how long they are part of us
Louis, yeah I like that as well. I interpret slightly more abstract. More as, they were trying to find themselves, and did as they became the Semurgh.
Yes, we do need a literary forum, there is a yahoo group on Sufi Islam, Rumi, Firdausi. You can find it by browsing the groups on yahoo, or through Khamush.com ....btw khamush IIRC means silence in Persian.
Tempiic I will give them a shout out from you if, and when, I'm a fraggin away, with them again.

Good luck with your clan, I wish you all the best and hope to spill blood with you if my feet hit the MP scene again
