Ok gang, here’s the deal
I’m going to try and run a gold only great lake clan, with the purpose being to encourage members to teach and learn from one another. Will run some kind of clan ladder tournament for all those interested, and organize times for games so we know when other members will be online.
I’m sending out some invitations, but all great lake golds are welcome.
Once we get some members ill try talking to the admins, perhaps we can get our own gold only forum.
We have a lot to do, but first post here and confirm your membership.
And lets decided on an official name… Great Lake Golems? Sober Scouts? Armored Assholes? Tactical Titans? I dunno, lets at least TRY and be clever

Later,
The Drunkard

Heya DD, that other clan never seemed to materialize, haven't heard anything at least, so if you'll still have me :)

What do you guys think of the names "Something Wicked" and Kiwyido (ok that's not even close, but its from that episode of the simpsons where the family is playing scrabble and bart uses all his letters and says it means big dumb balding north american ape, credit to Azn_Guy for the idea, and i think he might even know how to spell it)

Drunken Dragon
12-02-2003, 01:24 PM
Hmm.... *Looks at member list* yeah.... I think we can squeeze you in....

I like the name Something Wicked, it gets my vote, but lets see how many more members we grab in the next couple days and will take a vote or something...

Heh, yeah thats not even close. I think its Kwijibo.
I dunno..... that one just dosent strike me as a clan name.

12-02-2003, 01:33 PM
good, we got some more people i am with whatever name u guys choose.

and wut about our team color

Drunken Dragon
12-02-2003, 08:00 PM
I dunno if a team color is really necessary.... maybe if they make some more colors avaliable....

Ok everyone, try and encourage a few more people into this clan so we can get rolling.
I think AnalChampion and Silverdropone are also members but they are gunna have to start posting...

but even with both of them we only total 7, so a few more are needed.

If Izzy joins i will be spending all my time pitying him, what a pity that would be.

12-03-2003, 01:53 PM
Well not sure what this whole clan thing is about but it looks interesting - I wouldn't mind being a part of it thats for sure. My times are random but just contact me in game if you need to tell me anything, I usually see you around.

12-03-2003, 05:49 PM
Drunken...still nothing on my gold account update in the forum

MasterGolem
12-03-2003, 05:55 PM
talk to DR or bills

Drunken Dragon
12-03-2003, 05:59 PM
hmm.... Have you tried giving bills a private message?
Im sure he gets alot, but its worth a try.

Ahab
12-03-2003, 06:54 PM
If you want me, you got me.

Although, I don't know what a clan would do...

...perhaps fight other clans for their women?

Also, DD, here's a neat idea: we get a special Avatar. Maybe of a dragon savaging an Enchantress, I dunno... something that would stir fear in the hearts of the victi... er, opponents.

Drunken Dragon
12-03-2003, 07:28 PM
lol, I like the idea of a custom avatar.... Ill try and give a shout to the admins

Logic
12-04-2003, 12:43 AM
I'll join you guys if you'll have me, My name is Logic in-game (he has gold), and i play on and off from 4:00-11:30 PST on week nights, and whenever i'm home on weekends (all day haha). Well this clan thing sounds cool, see you all on great lakes tommorow.

p.s. my forum account isn't gold yet, but i asked for it in a post in the Gold Help forum tonight. Look in great lakes and you might find me at these times, or you can send me a private message if you want.

For life and death! -- Logic

Join the party man...

None of you new guys are giving any name suggestions!

Im really leaning towards londonjack's "Something Wicked" and I guess if thats fine with all of you then continue your silence.



Something wicked this way comes....

Thats a shakespear quote dummy!

LondonJack
12-04-2003, 04:51 AM
Is it a shakespeare quote? wouldn't suprise me, but honestly i never knew that :p Which play is it from?

12-04-2003, 08:49 AM
Count this gold member in.

How about the "Golden Blades", "Golden Guild", "The Knighted Saints", or I kind of like just going with a simple military command name... "Charlie Company" or something similar. We could use almost any letter in the phonetic alphabet and it would sound cool...

In Shattered Galaxy, we had two classes of regiments (i.e., clans): Academy and Elite.

I should think we would be "Academy", as in "Great Lakes Academy". This indicates that we are good for n00bs who need training, like, well, me. :P

But whatever is a good name is a good name. I ran a regi in SG for the Vora faction, called "Vora Elite"; simple and yet precise. My favorite name was "Dark Ronin", but the SAME DAY I came up with it another regi used it!

I swear that's true. My input is "Dark Ronin"...

Drunken Dragon
12-04-2003, 02:39 PM
Heh, come on jack! its your suggestion!

Its from MacBeth... Its from one of the witches babblings... you know "Double double, toil and trouble, fire burn and cauldron bubble..."

The quote "Something wicked this way comes" refers to MacBeth approaching...

Logic
12-04-2003, 06:09 PM
hmmm here are some names..

For Life and Death
The Valiant Clerics
Infinity's End
Thoroughbred Dragons
The Blind Scouts
Guardians of The Gate
Protectors of The Lakes
Spilling Poison
Disease's Cure
Blood Curdling
The Aging Fighters
Evil Doings
Masters of Valor

Those are just some ideas, tell me what you think..

Logic -- The one advantage a blind man has in battle is he shows no mercy to his enemies.. for he sees none to begin with.

p.s. i also like the name Something Wicked which Londonjack did.

LondonJack
12-04-2003, 06:29 PM
Infinity's End
Evil Doings or maybe Evil Deeds, or Dirty Deeds (we could even do them dirt cheap)
and Dark Ronin (is it just me or does that name seem a little redundant?)

all have potential, i'm still partial to SW though :D

bah what was that other name i had going through my head
*mumbles something about writing things down*

Edit: Oh right, the Mobius Strippers :D

Logic
12-04-2003, 06:37 PM
hehe.. write things down in your brain!!

Logic -- Wise and deadly, but dumb when it comes to tripping over creases in the sidewalk ;-(

I'm watching you.. sidewalk..

Count me in on this :D I play mostly during the day while at school and sometimes late at night or on my days off. But I work and go to school, and I have a 7 month old daughter so it gets kinda hard to get online at times.

I am a gold member, they just havent gotten around to upgrading my forum acct. yet.
As for a name, how about The Lazy Sods :D Just becase I think its funny. Hand of Valor and the Grey Conclave are also a few names I like alot.

12-04-2003, 09:17 PM
I'm not a gold member but I'm 70-2 on armageddon and i'm liking this clan alot... I mean, who wouldn't want to be in a clan with londonjack? *looks around unhappily as everyone raises their hand*:confused:
So maybe i'll get a gold. Maybe not. Can I be in anyway?
writing things down in your brain is the way to be!!!!!!

By the pricking of my thumbs...heh

LondonJack
12-04-2003, 09:47 PM

skateplayer720
12-04-2003, 10:56 PM
ya really....i hope i get my account back..... i just freakin paid

Omega_Paladin
12-04-2003, 11:42 PM
Yeah, these server crashes suck. I would like to suggest the Omega Golems or Dragons or someother cool mythological animal. How about the Omega Griffins (did I spell that right)? Omega was the name of the last few clans I had been in on a bunch of other games, so I am now using it for everything. What ya think?

skateplayer720
12-05-2003, 12:01 AM

for whoever it was that said they arent gold yet and want to be in, please if u arent gold u cant be in.

Drunken Dragon
12-05-2003, 03:52 PM
kyrios24, Sorry but this clan is limited to golds on the Great Lakes server for a number of reasons.

1. The clans main purpose will be to help one another with strategy in the game, and greys are not allowed the same strategic options as golds.
2. We will be attempting to run tournaments of various varietys and greys would be at a disadvantage.
3. I will be attempting to get the admins to allow us to have our own private forum
and I'm sure if they permit it they would only want paying members to participate.

If at some point you go gold on the Great Lakes server you will be more than welcome to join.

skateplayer720
12-05-2003, 07:02 PM
drunken can u make a list of all the members? also what about higher rankings in the clan and all that good stuff.....also, not everyone with a gold should be able to join, cuz what if there n00b and dont know jack? so thats somthing to think about

LondonJack
12-05-2003, 07:33 PM
I can always introduce myself to any new players skate :p

Hey I'm a gold in great lakes and I'd like to join a clan, like this one. my stats are 100 wins 1 tie and 17 loses their ok
I donno
we'll get back to me please...
fast :p

zdawg16
12-06-2003, 03:47 PM
speaking on the behalf of the other members i think they would say yes. and a reply to the person who said that they shouldnt let every member in because maybe there noobs, well if they r y not help them out and show them how to use there units etc.......

kyrios24
12-06-2003, 07:58 PM
Alright, so I talked to bills today. He says theres gonna be a new gold-only server soon and anyone whos gold on another server gets a free gold account on that server...so the point is, does this still have to be confined to great lakes golds? Because i would much rather keep my armageddon account, if possible.

Feeling selfish, but not enough to stop myself from posting this...

Drunken Dragon
12-06-2003, 09:55 PM
First of all, Resurgent and Incubus, welcome aboard.

Second, this gold only server will probably change things... I suppose we can start accepting golds from other servers.
I'm assuming we wont be able to take our old accounts to the new gold only server... Which wont really matter except for the few of us who have won unit drops.
We will have to wait untill the gold server comes out or the admins release more official information before we know for sure.
So to answer your question Kyrios, if the gold only server does come out, im pretty positive their will be no problem accepting golds from other servers.

Next order of bussiness.....
Im moving to make our name officially "Something Wicked" if there is any mass objection let it be heard now.

All of you golds who are not recognized as such, please attempt to post in the "Gold account help" forum.
If you dont get a response, send a private message to bills. Keep me updated on how its going.

Later,
The Drunkard

Drunken Dragon
12-07-2003, 02:12 PM
hah, dont worry Skribe, your in.

I'm not rejecting anyone who is gold at this point, I suppose if they never participate or are real jackass's I will kick them out later... but I dont see any reason not to allow someone to join.

Were gunna move threads soon guys, so keep your eyes open. On the new thread ill put up an official member list, and then will start actually trying to do some kind of clan activites.

Still waiting for some more statements of approval or disgust over the name...
