About two days ago, the highest ranked Freespace player (currently) got promoted to the rank of "Admiral"...

Until he got promoted there were only two admirals in the world, Xinny and Zer0... there are now three, and Hurricane is currently second place with

9,044,039 points
42,194 kills
3,106 missions played
33.11.22 played time (days/hours/minutes)

I don't remember being on Freespace one night without seeing him, sometimes when there was nobody else playing Freespace (which was quite often) he'd be sitting in the lobby, just waiting.  His total playing/waiting in PXO must total at least 2-3 months.

Just thought that since he's been working for about 3 years to get to this rank everyone congratulate this Brazilian Freespace Veteran!


Congratulations Hurricane!!!!!

It's not that he really has a lot of 'spare time'...

He's in his early 20's (22 I think) living on his own in an apartment in Brazil.  He doesn't even have a 3D accelerator on his computer, so he can't even play FS2.

But since he started playing he's had the desire to get to the very top of FS1, which he's less than a million points away from now i think!

I don't know what you guys think, but to get that high, that many kills, those missions, you have to have a lot of self-discipline and determination!!!

Congrats Hurricane! Even though I have no clue who you are, it must have taken quite a bit of patience and determination to get promoted to Admiral! :) (now we need a new fs2 campaign with Hurricane in it as a top pilot!)

Congratulations. You have earned your place in the highest echelon of allied leadership. Your character, courage, and genius are an inspiration to us all. On behalf of the GTVA Security Council and General Assembly, I hereby confer upon you the prestigious rank of Admiral. Now go read a book.

Something most of us don't hear, unless they've got VPview.
And I reckon it'll take a while, until Adm Hafgan and/or L-bolt reach that level. And a lot of rebel intercept.

Great job, Hurricane! I suppose he is the Bava of FS1... ;)

BTW in FS1 they actually say this:

You really have got to stop cheating.  This could become a natural thing for you... and that would be bad.  Go on Admiral Cheater
I think you have to perform some ceremony or inspection or something.

You know that they'll have to make a sequel just to add Hurricane to the SOC now ;7
It came from outer space! What? Dunno, but it's going back on the next flight!

btw, since I'll never hear the Admiral Petrach promoting me to any of the admiral ranks, does anybody have the sounds files handy for me to d/l?
