The WildCards! You've messed with the best - now play with the rest!

Archived PostArchived Post Posts: 1,156,071 Arc User
edited September 2014 in Supergroup Recruitment Station
[Oct 1st sexytime update: We got interviewed by TenTonHammer! Click here.]


Have you ever said any of the following?

- "Man! I wish I could play this game with only one hand*. I keep having to put my beer down to fight bad guys."

- "If I hear one more teenager screaming orders at me over Vent I'm going to start a foundation dedicated to enforcing mandatory vasectomies for stupid parents."

- "I'm tired of guilds with play time requirements, DKP systems, or hordes of drama-laden idiots running around getting in the way of my good times."

If so, then the WildCards may be the place for you! We're a bunch of casual players interested in doing our own thing and having a good time while doing it. Group, or don't group. Focus on a main, or level a bunch of alts. PvP, or PvE; we're here to have fun and hang out in good company - not have end game content on farm within a month.

The WildCards are part of the Unrepentant gaming community; we're a bunch of overgrown kids in our 30's (with some 20-somethings and 40-somethings for seasoning) who came together because we think the company you keep is more important than the games you play. You can find Unrepentant players in a whole mess of MMOs (we currently have branches in Star Trek: Online, Aion, Champs, DDO, FFXIV, and WoW), and we're also active in Steam games such as L4D2, TF2 and Borderlands. We even have our own Minecraft server!

If you're looking for a good group of folks to goof around with while kicking a generous amount of butt, then begin your journey toward Ultimate Sexiness by clicking this link.

Now go! Hunt! Kill Skuls!






(*If you read, "Man! I wish I could play this game with only one hand", and your mind IMMEDIATELY went somewhere else with the second half of that sentence, you are *definitely* the kind of person that would fit in with us. Not because we're perverts, but because you've got just the kind of flexible wit we appreciate.

Also, because we're perverts.)

    You guys are totally for me! Oh wait I'm already a member. I'm totally for me in that case. Sort of a self-love thing. Which means that I might need to play the game with no hands.... Because I'll be toasting myself with a beer in each hand, pervs..

    What's this game you all got me signed up for?? Men in tights shooting fake laser beams at at each other? Like an SCA convention playing laser tag if you ask me. But what the hell, I'll play any game with you hoodlums.

    I *did* mention the "buy me a 6-pack to get in" requirement in the pitch, didn't I?

    Not to jack our thread, but Dos Equis Dark for when you want something light, Foster's when you want to drink a LOT and Pike Place xxXXXxx Stout when you want the best. Big fan of Johnson's Chocolate Stout, too, but it's even harder to find than the Pike stout.

    Great Job Fritz... Now all we're going to recruit is a bunch of drunks! Way to get the thread started off right... I can see it now.
    A hand of WildCards drops in on the scene just as evil-doers are about to blow a hole in the prison wall and release hundreds of hardened criminals onto the streets! Except only one makes it to the right location and he's got bloodshot eyes, is still speaking with a slur and has a couple beer nuts in his beard. The four others never left the HQ because two were arguing over which beer is better, one was AFK getting more beer and the last had been AFK passed out on the floor for 2 hours but no one noticed.

    We need to recruit at least one or two sober individuals. I'm trying to remember why though... Years of hard drinking will do that to you.

    Remember the plan:

    1. Post Funny Recruitment Thread.
    2. Bump thread with continuing witty banter
    3. Sucker Recruits with visions of fun loving gaming community
    4. Start Imposing mild entry requirements (beer, petty cash, "favors")
    5. Pass out Pie/Cake
    6. Start imposing bizarre entry requirements (must submit application in Thai or Bulgarian, bleed a chicken,"favors")
    7. Reveal true purpose of the Cult
    8. Pass out Kool-Aid

    Only one recruit and already wanting beer... Seems to early.

    As one of the youngest members(at 19) of the guild, I can say that it is a lot of fun as long as you don't mind occasional references to things that were old before you were born.

    Wait - you're 19? Does that mean you were 18 when I recruited you in War last year?

    My god. I feel so dirty now. You weren't even alive during the Reagan administration. Your whole life was nothing but Bush and Clinton until Obama got elected.

    I think the new age minimum will be 25. If you're not old enough to get a discount on your car insurance, you're no good to us.

    If you're ever in Vegas, check out the stout at the Sin City Brewing Co.
    Not too busy, starts off with a nice bite but doesn't set up camp in your mouth. I could (and have) drink that stuff all day.

    No, I said we're being portrayed as a bunch of drunks. Which isn't entirely true. Some of us are crack addicts as well. We count on them to just climb over the walls kill the nemesis a good two, three times and bring back all the loot for us.

    But seriously, we do have plenty of other interests besides drunken revelry. And I'll get back to you on what they are as soon as I make them up.

    You're like Grond. You're named after Morgoth's mace from Lord of the Rings, and you're green with envy that you're not in our supergroup. Gotcha.

    Also: ANYONE that uses the number "2" instead of going through the massive, overwhelmingly difficult task of typing out all three agonizing letters in the word "too" would never ever ever be welcome in the WildCards.

    Or, to put it in your vernacular:

    u hav 2 b ejucaded 2 b a WildCard.

    Freakin Finally!! (uhhh, nice band name) A group I can feel confortable with while I uphold the law holding a bad guy by his trachea while running naked around town in broad day light! Phew.
    You guys must take me! I have the perfect character for this group. Count me in.

    PS: When I say "you must take me" I mean it in a very macho and hetero kind of way, not the in-a-dark-alley kind of way.
    PPS: Unless it's mandatory.
    PPPS: Or I´m REALLY drunk.

    It's rare we meet a candidate that completes our "initiation ritual" BEFORE actually applying. :thumbs up:

    So, for you (and Jupiter, and Chaplain), and anyone else interested in our little band of surly miscreants, the next step is very simple:

    1. Chill.

    When open beta starts we'll catch up with you. I'll be sure to add your account names to my friends list (or I'll pm you here and ask for character names). We'll play around together in beta, and if you guys have fun, then we'll take the party with us into launch. We have about a dozen of our Unrepentant people joining us here, so you'll already be in "good" (by which I mean "dubiously entertaining") company at launch.

    If you're interested in learning more about us now, or are just interested in accessing our massive archive of disturbing tentacle pornography, then you can head over to www.unrepentantgaming.org, and poke around. We have a short application, but as soon as you read it you'll realize it's not really an "application"; it's more an "amusing personality quiz" that lets you tell us about yourself, and gives you a good sense of what kind of people we are.

    (Hint: there is a question that asks "What is your Zombie Plan?" Frankly, this question is the most important question you'll answer. Failure to have a Zombie Plan tells us that you're not sufficiently prepared for the upcoming Zombie Apocalypse, and will thus be of questionable use to us. We'll still take you in the guild, but please understand that when we make your official guild title "Bait" that we mean it in a very friendly, non "we're feeding you to them as we make our getaway" way.)

    Moebius said that when he drinks and tries to talk on vent his accent sounds like a cross between Jamaican, Texan and German. If you can't top that, you'd better bring brownies or free t-shirts.

    Helpful tip: I don't like walnuts in my brownies, and I wear a large.

    Well, my superb command of the english language may prevent me from competeing with him on that front.

    Though at one point in my life I convinced a Korean lady of the night that I was a Baptist minister, and proceeded to excise the demons from her soul after I laid waste to her naughty zone. My buddies could hear me in the adjacent rooms screaming 'The power of Christ compels you!' at the top of my lungs. Though this may not be the place for such things...

    Hah. One of our guildies (who isn't planning to play CO at launch) is a 20-ish year Navy vet, and still in as an officer. (Lieutenant I think?) He'll greatly enjoy your antipathy against his beloved service.

    If you ever apply on our website down the road, be sure to mention that submariners enjoy being full of seamen. Tell him Dao told you to say that. It'll cost me some awesome BBQ kebabs next time we barbecue, but imagining him sputtering indignantly as he types out a lengthy diatribe on the merits of service makes it worth it.

    Anyway, we're happy to have people run with us in the beta to "road test" the group. We'll give you our vent info via PM or /tell, and you can see if we're to your liking. We're not gonna be all douchey like some of these other guilds, and expect you to blind apply, type out some stupidly long application, have a vent interview, then serve for some 6 month apprenticeship or something stupid like that.

    Some of these people make joining a guild more difficult than applying for a house loan. :rolleyes:

    So yeah...I think this is the first time I have ever read something and thought I could of typed it. I'd love to hang with you guys through open beta and into launch. The only problem/issue I'm wondering about is if you have any Australian members? I'm an American living/working in Australia so just curious.

    I've registered on your boards as Corson, which will by the name of my Munitions main.

    We actually have a pretty good contingent of former and current military to commiserate with.
