    So, has anyone unlocked the cool wings costume piece from the Nemesis Confrontation yet?

    Yeah, I've been in four teams that have done it. Twice with the "pull him away from his healing crystals" way and twice the normal way.

    If you get lucky, you've got good DPS and no one dies at inopportune moments, it's not impossible. Mav's got a fairly good method worked out.

    It doesnt actually look like cool wings when you wear it though, just a cape made out of narrow strips! :(

    Color them red and white. So they look like a cape made out of narrow strips...OF BACON.

    Bacon cape = win.

    Well sure, but Bacon Wings would be better!

    Maybe that could be a new Travel power, get on it now Cryptic! :p

    Just watch as Villains flee from the flying Baconator, as everyone smells the heavenly odor from a mile away and the sounds of sizzling somewhere in the sky getting closer, but would be REALLY dangerous on MI and in the Desert, way I hear it Grond would follow you and every creature on MI would literally stampede the across the island to you.

    When we get super bases in this game, we need a bar. One that doesnt serve drinks with umbrellas.

    Words of wisdom, Jon. Maybe, though, our bar could have a, you know, roof?

    Some questions were never meant to be answered. Kinda like what does a raccoon lollipop really taste like?

    We've got Nemcon down to the point where we can pull in random people and still get it.

    I haven't been on much in the past couple days, but it seems like that is a good thing. Then again, when I have been on, I haven't had too many problems with rubberbanding , unless I got to Lagmuria. I guess they are working on their new MMORPG "Patch Notes" and are allowing us to beta test it.

    Probably because people who DO show interest in your SG, and go through the whole application process but aren't HILARIOUS in their applications get tossed to the side...My next toon will be named bitterman and and his super powers will only be activated when he's feeling rejected, especially in an under populated game...

    You're a bit wrong.

    We don't require hilarity.

    We require people with a sense of humor. Your app didn't start to go off-track until we saw your reaction to people pointing out the lack of funny.

    If you can't deal with stuff like that, then we probably aren't a good fit for each other.

    Yes but you have the decency to see that and admit it and even enjoy it with a dose of humor which shows personal character, Hilarity not required for an app, but coming across like a mortician on downers or showing all the empathy or human emotion of a lukewarm corndog isn't gonna help ya.

    SO tough break chummy but these guys ain't fer everybody, like a chocolate covered bacon cheesesteak it sounds good, and for some it's simply the holy grail of food items, but for others it's tantamount to Gargling holy water as a vampire, not a good combo so please try not to be bitter about it dude just try some other groups you'll find one that's filled with less looney tooneys looking for looney tooneys.

    Now if I may be excused (INCOMING HYPERBOLE) I have a steak the size of Rhode island waiting for me from this evenings grill adventure, Love waking up at 2am+ for no good reason, but at least I can have steak so it's not all bad.

    After months of denying that there was a Wildcards thread here. I have arrived to say Hello.



    What I look for in a Wildcards recruit.... By CptSquash

    1. Must have the patience to bare with the crew through the application process.
    2. Keeps their thread going even when no-one else will.
    3. Have a moderate sense of humor about themselves and the world around them.
    4. Must love animals. (Alive or dead neither which matters)
    5. Realize life is too short to take what is said on a Application thread too seriously.
    6. Must Drink (Alcohol is a plus but not deal breaking)
    7. There is no 7th thing.
    8. Refer to #5.
    9. Refer to #7.
    10.Talks us up in Wildcards chat.

    Now is anything on that list so terrible?? I think not. How much would you pay MR.T.

    While this is true, you also need to bear with the application process too, nudity alone won't cut it!

    Hilarity is optional; I don't think my app was particularly funny...let me 'splain a little.

    Once a guild reaches a certain size, it is impossible to know every member personally; either the guild's size is constrained by the social circle of a few officers with invite privileges, or friends of friends (of friends of friends, ad infinitum) join and the community becomes diluted, with guildmates you've never met and with whom you have little in common.

    The main purpose of the application process, IMO, is to present an (admittedly imperfect) image of an applicant's personality, and to give the community an opportunity to meet prospective members. If the application lacks enough information to let us get to know an applicant, some prodding for more details will likely ensue.

    The app, and the expected follow-up, may seem to be a little bit of a hassle - I held off for several days before submitting mine, because I knew I was going to be too busy to keep up with it, and didn't want to waste everyone's time going halfway through the process. When I knew I could introduce myself and not seem to be ignoring the greetings of the folks I was asking to join, I went ahead, and found the whole thing mostly painless (though I may owe some people a Youtube performance, I'm not quite certain on that one).

    Applicants may very well be mocked, though perhaps not mocked very well;) - it really is meant to be good-natured, and does not by itself indicate looming rejection. The most common reasons for rejection are neglect of the thread after applying, an inability to take the give-and-take of the discussion with good humor, or the appearance of disdain for the application process itself.

    If you go in feeling like the application is a waste of time...you're probably right.

    But if you go in not expecting to take yourself, or any of the rest of this gang of lunatics, too seriously, you might find the company as entertaining as the game.

    It's true though. If you want to be in the best guild in the server, you have to expect to go through the process.

    The process works. As a result I am never guild-spammed by 12 year old table-dancing dark-elves.
