Just because you can still field 40% of the FZ's decent playerbase, does not a summer make.
FreeAdZone F.T.L.
For the uninitiated, when you bought your retail Allegiance CD, the first thing you got was a Q&A screen followed by an apptitude test. If you stank the place up, you were quietly streamed into the PoorZone, since MS didn't think it would be fair to charge people who were only able to utilise 50% of the available pleasure from one of its products. The FreeAd guys never got told of this of course. The upper echelon players were informed after they had graduated. It was sort of a last starfighter kind of a deal.
When the old Zone system ceased to be, the PoorZ'ers or Poozers or as they eventually became known to us, Pozers were allowed to intergrate. We did admire their hardiness, after having their teeth knocked back their throats inumerable times in the AZ/FZ showdowns that followed, they still kept coming back for more, it almost caused us to form a kind of grudging respect, like when you watch that YouTube vid of the Softicus HoneyBees trying to defend against the Japanese Tiger eagle katana gatling laser eyed cobra great white hornets. Then one day a story started circulating about the Pozers having beaten the hAZers. Strangely, much as there would have been 13 million people at Woodstock if everyone who had said they went, actually had, only Pozers seemed to remember it, leading it to be generally discounted in the official Allegiance history guides. Upon closer examination, it seems that a rogue group of FreeAd'ers, tired of being the Top Gun's whipping boys, had struck upon the idea of claiming that they were former Uber Zone players, and they even had the tumerity to challenge their former special needs zone comrades to battle. These wannabe Ultra super duper zone players were the actual recipients of the only ever crap zone / Incredible godlike undefeatable zone "victory".
Years passed and people may now find it conceivable that the @#(!ty crap turd encrusted zone's misfits could have given a reasonable game to the HyperUltraStudlikeHugeKahoonaGodsAmonstMortals Zone players. Let me assure you, this is only a wistful daydream that exists in the minds of a few deluded individuals.
No offence intended, like.

The history of open-source Allegiance is paved with the bodies of dead code branches, forum flame wars, and personal vendettas. But a community remains because people still love the game.
There's obviously a lot of pent up testosterone sloshing about here. Anyone fancy AZ vs FZ vs FAZ as an event at some point? We promise to go easy on you golden oldies /wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" />

You are still on some level a newbie.
