Too much awesomeness in one location is never a good thing. The server was intentionally brought down by a diligent admin so as to prevent a quantum singularity that would have blinked the world right out of existence.
website is slowly being restored, there may be a few hiccups like lost members and lost posts but get in contact with in game leadership and we will get it straightened out.
The application form also got hosed and we are working on getting it back up as well.

Just don't try to get in touch with me, because apparently one of those "hiccups" with lost membership included mine.
I'm sure it wasn't intentional at all. :rolleyes:
Why people always got to be plotting against The Awesomely Righteous Dao? Is it because The Awesomely Righteous Dao always refers to himself in the third person, and insists everyone call him The Awesomely Righteous Dao?
Yes, you gotta say the whole thing. Yes, even the The part. No, you may not abbreviate it. The Awesomely Righteous Dao doesn't swing that way.
Jeez, longest thread of all time. But I would love to join up with u guys if you're still recruiting. Still really new to the game and not even really sure how to contact people IG with the whole @ deal but let me know.
Pssh, late night is still happenin' in here. However, a bunch of us night owls tend to use vent, and our PVP groups use it religiously. Not necessary, but defnitely helpful. And don't be afraid to talk if you are a female player. From what i've seen, we have a few females lurking about (and talk as well). If you are a guy, playing a female toon for sympathy and don't want to reveal your secret.... well too bad you dirty pervert.
Haha, I haven't done that since my Evercrack days- my male characters never got free ****! These days I don't use Vent mainly because I have a terrible mouth-brain filture failure and typing things out means I can abort them. I'll look into getting Vent again though, sometimes the random stuttering silliness that pours out of me can actually be entertaining.
I'll look for some Wild Cards when I get onto Champions tonight.
Once the server is back up I'll have to check it out.
In the mean time if someone in the SG happens to see this and sees me online, give me a shout, this sounds like it might be the place for me and a friend of mine.
I'm looking for a SG to break me in so to speak, only got CO at launch and I R n00b, My current main is 14 and is into gadets and science stuff, I'v got a mic but don't use Vent but i may Dl it later.
Can't get on CO ATM for some stupid reason, horrible lag and alot of rubberbanding or w/e.
I purchased CO through steam thus have TF2, L4D and most of the Value games if not all, got WoW free with a Gcard i bought a few months back so i play that too every now and again.
Hey your SG sounds really appealing what part of the world are the majority of members from? I don't know if time zones will mess up experiencing a lot of the content in this game if I played with people from far away.
We have members from all over the globe. I believe we already have a Brit or two. I am not sure what our Brit quota is, however. We may be nearing capacity so you should hurry.
Speaking of worldly members, there was a conversation revolving around limiting the number of Canadians just for general purpose. There was an argument related to the consumption of Molson vs. Budweiser. Sadly for our Canadian lackeys, I was able to display the Canucks do indeed drink more Bud than Molson.
Upon further reflection, it must have been this very conversation that caused the boards to implode. I believe there was a feedback loop created at some distant internet hop in an igloo somewhere to the north of me.

We have one Brit, I believe. Our quota is met, and our capacity is 3. However, we prefer female Brits to male Brits, so you'd either better be a girl, or have a high-pitched voice.
We are dangerously close to our Swede capacity, and this is cutting into our Belgian capacity. We're going to make more room for both by removing some of our freeloading Canadians later today.
We have FAR surpassed our Texan limit, which I had generously set at "zero" when the guild launched. We are looking into how we ended up with so many; I suspect they snuck across the border to join, or bought fake ID's claiming they were from Arizona.
If its Ok with you I would like to join. I have not joined sg yet but when I read the requirements here. This is it. If cool with you. I would like to help out.

How about Floridians? Is there a quota for them? Will there be cake or pie? Can my mom come too? How many questions can I ask in a single post?
I would like to hand it to you (ladies and) gentlemen - You've made a 21 year-old feel not only young, but sober. I'm actually impressed by your vivacity considering your advanced ages. Do you accept people who only have emerging beer guts and do not yet posses a fully fledged paunch?
Moreover, do we generally prefer lager, bitter or stout? Perhaps the answer to this question will determine if I'd truly fit in here.
On the other side of the coin, just to see if you think I'm uncool enough to join, here's me. I R N00B at this game, pretty much. Just about got a grasp of the power framework, stats and advantages between blowing things up, doing my best to abuse the character creator and emptying my fridge of snacks and beer. My main is level 17, and I often die when left alone. . . Therefore Me = sad without an SG.
Also, I am actually kinda sad. When I'm not on my desktop I'm at the pub drinking with the same ten friends I fell in with at age 12, drinking at the same pub, drinking the same damn beer. At least I quit smoking (I know - I'm a quitter). I'm an assistant manager in a PC world Store and I don't want to be. I generally hate my job and I'm engaged, and my fianc
I see where I may have conveyed this misinformation! No is the answer, but if you can tell me how to make one pint last for ten people for 9 years I will . . . well . . . be very appreciative, let's say.

We do have a Scot right? they're basically like second class English citizens, so does that count towards our quota?
Also yay at long last my real PC is back from exile! framerates in double digits here I come!
FYI - our forums are back up now. Sorta. So go there and sorta check us out. Just don't mind the mess.
Heh, woops, Love to join you guys but I think I broke the Activation email page :P just continuously thinks about sending me stuffs but waits until I'm lulled into a false sense of security before telling it fails.
EDIT, Oh wait - I wants to work now I'll be applying as soon as this mail arrives
I'll be in touch. And vent is cool - every time the meds kick in, I find most of my gaming experience is spent typing 'oops - wrong chat'.
I think my tank toon will certainly fit right in (at least I think it's funny): He is mighty with the shortest height setting. His name: The Unopposable Thumb!
Oh well. . . . i tried . . .
p.s. Also, I dig the homage to Martin - good stuff.
Make sure to PM Dao personally thanking him for this, he loves it when people do that
Dao loves all forms of personal communication. But if you are sensitive to it, you should be warned that he tends to flower his prose with tales of butterflies and faeries. One time he even PM'd a dissertation upon why sunsets are more beautiful than sunrises. That right there was a brilliant piece of craftsmanship.

We'll have to talk.
The fact that a sunrise is such strong symbolism for a fresh start, a new beginning, is argument enough to rise it above the dieing of another day, the absence of our source of light, life and warmth, the knowledge that another day's useless energy has been spent. . .
But still waiting you guys still having problems with your forum I presume :P Help!
Yeah - we sorta had a major forum kablooie and the whole system is a little broken right now. I believe your activation went through anyway; in any event, just look for us in game for an invite and we'll sweat the rest when everything is working again.
p.s. Also, I dig the homage to Martin - good stuff.
It's not a... you know what? I don't care anymore. Yeah - we completely ripped the name off from Martin. Whole concept. Whole guild. In fact, as soon as I actually read those books I'd never heard of until I formed this guild, I'll be sure to work even more references from them into the WildCards.

I hate you.
Sorry Dao. It's a darn cool coincidence.
Maybe with that first impression, I should back slowly away . . .
So after reading all 34 pages (yeah, right), I have to ask, what if I'm not a beer drinker? Honestly, to me it tastes like burnt weeds in rancid water, though I can't imagine why. I like my alcoholic content as high as possible, triple digits if we can get there. Is that still okay? Can I still join?

It is not important what you drink, merely that you are drinking something. We're sorta equal opportunity like that.

The funny thing is, they are actually very good for the most part, if tending to becoming incredible dark and depressing once you hit the eighties era. Mostly great characters, and some very unique twists on heroism, like Fortunato, the Tantric Mage. The Great and Powerful Turtle. Captain Trips. Dinosaur boy. Croyd Crenson, the Sleeper.
I'm many years removed form the books now, even decades, but the events and characters are memorable, and I recommend the series.

I really enjoyed the books. I also enjoyed the Turtle. I think it's a darn shame that the SG name is taken by someone who thinks its an insult to reference them, because that certainly wasn't my intent. Apparently it's a sensitive issue.

Oh sure, blame Canada. Haven't heard that one before.
I couldn't do it if it weren't true. You cant even keep Quebec in line. You do realize they are going to secede right? Then we will have an even bigger mess on our hands.
Canadians AND French to the north? :eek: Right now it is the lesser of two evils.
At least you speak English. I only know basic French, like "I Surrender"

Wow. You are SO not WildCards material. Even accepting that sarcasm travels poorly through the internet, you'd have to think that I really can't be *that* irked by the comparison. We roll a little more laid-back than that, bro.
Actually, given how many people speak highly of the series, I guess I should probably read 'em, since I'm leading a super group with a name taken from a comic-themed book series.

Actually I've no idea either, all the members blur into 'ones who were around before me' and 'ones who joined after'
New recruitment slogan; "Unrepentant: Join us and we'll forget who you are!"

Ok... yer mom is in.
You? well lets just say there are many more hoops for you to jump through, young grasshoppa
If you let me in, you can have my sister too
and I'll bring beer
but only if I can game with you guys, otherwise I'm taking my asian womens and going home
Ok. Head on over to www.unrepentantgaming.org and drop an app. We anxiously await your mom and sis.
...and you I guess.
Oh, and PM Dao and tell him how enamored you are with his Gig Line.
lol! I have a great sense of humor, but yeah you came across that way. I'm not the only one to make a poor first impression here.
I'll be moving along - see ya in game!
I think we only have room for one more Swede, otherwise we will make Dao crazy with the constant Bork Bork Bork on Vent.
