The Gang of Five
Howdy, everyone!

As you know, the forum has been fighting spammers and bots for years. We have seen our fair share of "Custom Kitchens UK", scammy Internet hosting companies, and bots trying to send us to a business's homepage. But after fighting the tidal wave of spam for so many years, the admins had a persistent thought: what if the spammers are right? Not in terms of posting nonsense links and trying to scam our users, but in trying to make money through our unique platform?

Well, thanks to the helpful counsel of Taunt, we have finally decided to move the forum in a new direction. Please see his important post on the matter in this topic

Droopy got up from his seat and made his way over to the other gun.  He did his best to strap himself in well and then started to use the other gun to shoot at other planes or power ups they were close to or about to fly through.

-----------------------------------

"A most exciting match." Longstride said.

"Reminds me of that wrestling stuff that Kasey likes to watch sometimes.  But with more explosions." Mikey said watching the race as best as he could.

(Dixie's Plane)

Major Lockie nodded as his health was restored. "Thanks!" He then shot some floating powerups, rewarding his riders with additional ammo.

He then tore up some more AA guns with his 40 mm and 105 mm cannons. A quick sensor scan showed that something was behind him. And it was Captain Sven! " How did he!? Damn it! He must have respawned behind us! Gah!" the AC-130 shouted as machine gun fire from above raked him. He then decreased in airspeed, letting the 747 pass him. He then climbed in altitude, hoping to get in range so he could use his 105 mm cannon along with his rider's hand thrown bombs against the 747.

----------------------

(Boo-Boo's Plane)

The invicibility powerup did its job. The sticky bomb detonated without harming Colonel Sukhoi or his riders.

Lt. Martin (the Dawg's plane) armed an anti-air missile and aimed at Major Douglas, who was on full afterburners and trying to flee. She then launched it. A minute later, the flaming vehicle fell out of the sky.

"Are you allowed to do that?" Colonel Sukhoi asked.

Lt. Martin flashed her wingtip lights in the affirmative. "She'll respawn soon. It's in the rules." She then lit her afterburners and sped away.

The Su-25 screamed multiple profanities as he pushed his engines to the limit as he began to chase down the F-16.

----------------------

(The Rotten's Plane)

Captain Fairchild's heavy armor afforded him great protection from the scrapes and gunfire from the drones chasing him.

He then saw a hazard that had been placed on the field - a roiling black thunderhead. No plane would fly into a thunderstorm - let alone one this fierce. He smiled.

"Hang on!" he shouted. He then headed straight into the storm. He pushed his engines harder to try and overpower the fierce crosswinds. Hailstones almost as large as his 30 mm cannon rounds and freezing rain slammed against his airframe as the wind buffeted the powerful vehicle as if he were no more than a model.

The hailstones pinging off his armor plate felt like AA fire but he decided to ignore it.  Suddenly he felt his wings and tail starting ice up. He swore as he realized his defrosters must have been damaged from the AA fire he took previously.

"This is gonna sound crazy, but you should have some rifles from one of the powerups I picked up. They're supposed to be used against the riders of the plane but I want you to shoot off the ice that forms on my wings or tail!" the living A-10 shouted over the howling wind. "I'm already icing up, so hurry!"

(OOC - the planes and competitors can actually be shot down or crash but they'll respawn after a bit <think Mario Kart>. Hey, this RP runs on cartoon physics!)

good thinking Serris
_
 The Hooded Claw opened fire ' better hope we can knock off the iice , otherwise we';ll lose valuable time " he said
 Once a plane carrying a team crashed a magical shield would protect the team, leaving them floating in midair for a few minutes while the plane reformed. as the race reached the quarter marker, major lockie was in the lead folowed by col sukhoki. captain fairchild andLt Martin were close behind them however..
_ the planes sure love firing at each other and trying to one up each other " striupetail remarked " he had created some fish for the kittens to eat..

(The Rotten's Plane)

The stream of bullets broke off the ice on Captain Fairchild's wings and tails. The ice that remained was easily shattered by him moving the control surfaces.

He then saw a gap in the clouds. "Hang on!" he shouted as he sped through the gap, rolling on his side to avoid some stray AA fire.  

He then smiled as the sunlight played over his battered airframe. He then spotted Colonel Sukhoi in the distance.

He then spotted some floating crates in the distance; a short burst of rocket fire gave him some much needed health pickups and a few sticky bombs for his riders.

------------------

(Boo-Boo's Plane)

"Look out!" Colonel Sukhoi shouted as he rolled to the side, narrowly dodging a stream of autocannon fire as the newly respawned Major Douglas thundered past him.

Flak began to burst around them as the AA guns respawned and began shooting. "

------------------

(Dixie's Plane)

Major Lockie had now gotten above Captain Sven. He aimed his 105 mm gun and fired only to realize it was out of ammo. "Dixie! The handheld bombs! Throw them over and try to hit the plane below me!"

He swore as one of Captain Sven's riders stitched his belly and wings with machine gun fire.

(Dixie's Plane)

Captain Sven swore as the small bombs rained down on him. The rain of explosives forced him to slow down and dive below some clouds in hope of losing the AC-130.

Major Lockie ran into one of the speed boost power ups. A blue line streamed from his engines as he rapidly picked up speed.

"It's too close to call," Sheegwa said, watching from atop Dojo.

"Yup," the left head nodded

(The Rotten's Plane)

Captain Fairchild had gotten above the Su-25. Thanks to his infrared illuminators and camera, he could see the form of Colonel Sukhoi outlined against the clouds. Thanks to the fog, the Su-25 had been forced to slow down somewhat.

"If we hit him with my sticky bombs, he'll be out of commission for a while. Drop bombs!" he ordered.

------------------

(Boo-Boo's Plane)

Colonel Sukhoi swore profusely as fog enveloped him, cutting his visibility to zero.

Two powerful floodlights mounted on the front of his howdah clicked on. As he continued flying, he then noticed that Lt. Martin and Major Douglas were gone.

"S---!" he exclaimed. "Crew! Can you see anything?"  

------------------

(Dixie's Plane)

"Well f--- me!" Major Lockie shouted. Up ahead was a massive thunderhead. Lightning periodically illuminated the turbulent interior. "Hang on!"

The AC-130 pulled into an steep dive in an attempt to fly underneath the towering thunderhead.

Almost immediately, rain cut his visibility to zero. Two searchlights mounted on his open rear ramp flicked on. There, below them, several AA guns swiveled as they prepared to fire.

"Crew! There should still be some hand thrown bombs in my hold! Take out those AA guns!"

Droopy continued to do his best to shoot at the other planes as best as he could.  

"I didn't think the race would be quite like this." Wally said.

"Their ammo isn't as impressive as our fire breath," the left head smirked in a whisper to Dojo's passengers.

Belladonna used some of her flame breath to spice up the game, if you will.

"Ha ha," the hellhound smirked.

The Duke kept flying slightly over the great wall, dodging the chaos.

"Looks like they're running out of ammo," Sheegwa said from atop Dojo.

"Darn, I was hoping the fun wouldn't stop," Belladonna sighed.

The Duke kept flying along the legnth of the track.

"Almost done...." Tiger said, wanting the madness to end

"Looks like we are starting to run a little low on ammo." Droopy said looking at how much he had left as he continued to shoot when he had a target in his sights.  "I do hope it lasts long enough till the race is over.  

"I think we're not far from the end of the race." Wally said, "At least I Hope so." He said hoping it was over so they could all rest.

"I hate....this...." Annabelle nodded in nauseous agreement, holding her paw over her mouth.

The Duke was good at holding onto his lunch.

"It's almost done..." Dongwa said.
