p3nguins for R35
 

Back and with a bang (that's the plan anyway! ;))

Having gone through a transition round we're now looking to getting back to the top where we belong next round. Key attributes:

- Teamplayer...we all like an escort every now and then
- Willing to contribute and DC incs..lazy-ness is not a valid excuse, or an illness...
- Attacks with ally...as opposed to being a loner p3nguin sat out in the cold
- Overnight Defence when called...or free hot chicks
- Flexible and willing to follow an ally strategy...because you're not always right
- IRC Active and a lack of an ego...we already have enough of them
- Ruthless...because if you got teeth, what's the point in nibbling

P3nguins is a democracy. Members vote on those coming in and those going out. If you're good enough, you'll get a chance :)

Please feel free to join our public channel #p3nguins and speak to either myself or mpulse about recruitment. If we're not around, ask and idle and we will appear.

Re: p3nguins for R35
 

That was....... generic :|

Re: p3nguins for R35
 

GL p3nguins... altho this penguin is a "Brown" ftw :p

Re: p3nguins for R35
 

gl p3nguins!

Re: p3nguins for R35
 

Are you kidding me Kenny that wasnt generic at all!!!

They offered folks 2 things that no other alliance does!!!

1) The privilege to die(of boredom) DC'ing with maybe a mention in the EORC
AND
2) The offer of hot chicks with every late night defence fleet sent :O

Is that like supersizing your happy meal? I wonder!

Well either way far from generic!

GL p3n!

Re: p3nguins for R35
 

You just made #1 up!

And technically he said that hot chicks were an alternative to waking up and sending def. Doesn't seem like much of an incentive to me!

Either way, this is essentially the same criteria most alliances require these days, with nothing that stands out - I can only assume you're being sarcastic by disagreeing, Mystic!

Re: p3nguins for R35
 

Kenny, stfu :)

Re: p3nguins for R35
 

gl p3nguins

hope to see you back in top3

Re: p3nguins for R35
 

Its mPulse! not mpulse!

When u get into #p3nguins you will notice the topic says...

"Welcome to #p3nguins public channel | Dont bother asking for recruitment, you only get in if you know someone "

So....to clarify what Krypton meant above (he'll amend it when I let him out of the cage)....you can have lovely chats with us about recruitment. It doesnt mean we'll recruit you though. We are really only looking for members who know people already in the alliance because we REALLY dont want to have any emo's in there disturbing our fishies.

(Posted in response to some pm's I have been getting and general banter in the #p3nguins channel)

Re: p3nguins for R35
 

Nice of you to point this out regarding 'this is the criteria most alliances require' however, shall i point out some differences regarding the criteria this alliance doesnt require compared to others? here is a short list:

1) This alliance doesnt require egos, ie it accepts players who can play the game becuase they want too and are good at it.. not players that like to tell everyone else how good they are at it. Thats difference number 1.

2) They dont allow cheats into the alliance (ie they dont turn a blind eye to people just becuase they are good.. a cheat is a cheat..)

3) This alliance doesnt keep people around idling in the channel like old relics just becuase they used to be origonal members (ie this community/core is so strong people who think they are letting the side down with real life getting in the way leave, they dont need to be asked to leave ie like myself)


And finally 4) They also dont go onto others peoples recruitment threads like some members of alliances making a prat out of themselves...



Anyway gud luck p3nguins i might have ofc quit pa but my heart will always belong with you guys. Ended with a fantastic average score/roids last round with only a small amount of members and a fantastic core. And more importantly they know how to mix quality with fun. So kenny... kindly shut up.

Re: p3nguins for R35
 

Rather than Flame other peoples Recruitment Kenny please say something constructive,

Also Good Luck p3n.

Re: p3nguins for R35
 

I wasn't flaming you idiots, I was challenging. And Assassing you did NOTHING to prove me wrong, as nothing you said was in the original post. If you want to stand out... do it in the OP and not 15 posts later.

Jesus, it's not rocket science. Everything I said was constructive, just because you don't like it doesn't mean it's any less so.

And FYI my second post, the one that Assassin quoted, was talking to Mystic who afaik isn't a member of p3ng (anymore lol).

Get a clue please.

And have a good round.

Re: p3nguins for R35
 

Take the hint and stop posting. This is now flaming, and now unfortunatly forcing others to keep bluddy replying to you is taking this off topic. Second you were talking to mystic ABOUT this alliance, doesnt matter who you were speaking too, you were still forcing your apinion of negativity on a recruitment thread when i think ive said this before and ill say it again here if you cba to say somthing nice about an alliance on a recruitment thread then simply dont comment. I corrected you, p3nguins isnt like any basic alliance for the reasons i listed learn to read, learn that people dont want your critism and learn to shut up. Thanx.


oh.. merry christmas

Re: p3nguins for R35
 

I have absolutely no ill will towards p3nguins or any negativity or any such bollocks. I simply stated that the OP was a generic one; I made no indication that I felt this was a reflection on the alliance nor have I indicated anywhere that p3nguins is in any way a bad alliance.

And I'm sorry but AR isn't all kiss-ass and sunshine - and even if it was you've retardly took what was a joke between myself and Mystic and taken it entirely personal.

Also, didn't you quit? Or was that just another of your cries for attention?

Good luck p3nguins, and for anyone reading this thread - don't take Assassin's comments as a reflection upon the alliance as he no longer represents them.

Re: p3nguins for R35
 

I think you forumites are far too eager to assume somebody is flaming and respond in kind rather than taking what people have said at face value. Shame, really.

Re: p3nguins for R35
 

Emphasis (however hard to spot) mine.

Hypocrisy at its best!


Oh, and gl p3nguins!

Re: p3nguins for R35
 

It is fairly ironic. The first part you mentioned especially so.

"We're better than other alliances because we don't tell everyone we're better than them".

The irony (/hypocrisy) was informing us of this, for those who couldn't see it.

The second part was apparently a dig at alliances that keep core members around even when they're not being productive. i.e. how we keep JDD around in DLR, for example (<3). Apparently, the community is so strong that when somebody can't play PA 100%, they voluntarily leave the community. Errr, what?

That's not ironic or hypocritical. That just doesn't make any sense.

I will say this though... the p3ng community is so strong that after 1 round of playing half the memberbase left to make a new alliance that turned out to be at least twice as good.

Re: p3nguins for R35
 

I'd like to apologize to p3nguins for derailing their recruitment thread.

Also I'd like to place the blame entirely with Kenny and Assassin!

Re: p3nguins for R35
 

I don't think you can really 'derail' recruitment threads. Recruitment threads are apparently a brief description of the alliance, coupled with some reasons to join and methods for doing so. Followed by good luck wishes (in this case predominantly from people already in the alliance in an attempt to make themselves look more popular).

Despite this being a "forum", there is ABSOLUTELY NO DISCUSSION ALLOWED WHATSOEVER.

So really... Mystic, Assassin, mPulse, Cervantes, yourself and myself are all guilty of breaking AR etiquette, Pat.

Given that my initial response was not conversational (nor inflamatory, derogatory or offensive) I actually take no blame whatsoever for any ensuing discussion or debate... though I do admit guilt in being led down the slippery slope of slander by lesser individuals whose errors I felt shouldn't go uncorrected.

But yeah, gl + hf p3ng :)

Re: p3nguins for R35
 

I dont normally comment on here as frankly its pointless, But i would like to reply to this part :)

Yes we did lose a few members after round 33, We managed to lose all the selfish people who were only bothered about dcing there own incs and def whoring, We lost the likes of nah sod it im not gonna mention names, and i would just like to say thank you to them, Because what p3nguin have now and what we have lacked in past rounds are team players, We have at the moment a core of players who dont just care about there own ranks, they care about the ranks of there fellow ally m8's. And to me that means more than having a fully tagged ally with 50% of them not giving a damn about anybody apart from themselves.

Re: p3nguins for R35
 

Well do you not think you're being a bit biased?

While I'm not saying that this maybe is the case, but do you not think it's possible for all the people that left to create Euphoria were maybe fed up of having to support dead weight? People not as good at the game, that is.

Now don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to be insulting; I'm really not. There are some people who play PA to do as well as they can (sometimes individually), and people who maybe aren't as good/active. I'm not referring to any alliance or group - that's how the playerbase is as a whole.

There are those who can and want to do well, those who can and dont, those who can't but want to, and those who can't and don't care. I think what might have happened is that all the people in p3ng who could and wanted to... left so that they couldn't play with other people who can and want to. Because to be honest, the other 3 groups I mentioned can be serious dead weight when wanting to do well. That doesn't make them bad people, it just means their playing styles aren't suited to each other.

Also, I think it's fairly naive of you to assume that now Euph are now in a group of players that still don't want to play for each other. The whole point of Euph was so that people of like minds could work together as a team. Whilst not being in Euphoria and can't say for sure - I'd say that these people are far happier working for a group of players whose playing style matches their own than a larger group of players whose playing style doesn't consistently match their own.

But hey, enough about Euph!

Re: p3nguins for R35
 

Again how is this post constructive at all towards p3nguins? First get your facts straight.

This was p3nguins THIRD ROUND so, lets do the maths here shall we... euphoria was created this round.. so hmmm let me see.. 1..2... ohhhh thats right they left to create euphoria this round.. hmm so i count 2 rounds not the first round you idiot. (just to prove a point here is the alliance rankings in round 32 p3nguins first round: http://www.planetarion.com/files/cin..._alliances.htm)

The guys of euphoria left to create somthing different and i salute that it has nothing to do with how p3nguins were they just fancied a new challenge. Anyway, i cba to keep posting on this thread as i am unfortunatly taking the dignity away from it by having to keep correcting somone as arrogent as yourself (who seems to think he knows everything) and still hasnt taken the hint regarding dont post anymore after another 4-5 pointless posts.





And what the heck is this about? cant you even read? Not once did i state i was good ever in PA's history nor did i say it in that post. I was the founder of p3nguins, my real life is getting in the way so was making the statement to anyone with half a brain that even myself walked away without hanging around even as the founder (ie everyone is equal) so please... unless you have somthing constructive to say shut up.

Re: p3nguins for R35
 

Your only argument is that it took 2 rounds for half your alliance to realise you were shit, and not one?

Well f*ck, that's me told!

Re: p3nguins for R35
 

Oh, and Assassin - your English is shit. Aren't you supposed to be a native?

Re: p3nguins for R35
 

I'm happy to report that this arguement has been resolved amicably on IRC.


Naturally, I won.

Re: p3nguins for R35
 

GL p3ng i may come back as a def whore

Re: p3nguins for R35
 

gl p3n!

Re: p3nguins for R35
 

Indeed you didn't say that you were good at PA, however as Kenny already pointed out quite thoroughly (perhaps it it you that cannot read?), you first stated that you're not someone who tells others how good he is. In the same post you tell us that you're a better community player than others that do not play anymore yet still hang out in Alliance channels.

Re: p3nguins for R35
 

This has been vaguely amusing to read the whole way through :)

Kenny, there is no ill feeling towards Euphoria on our part. I myself was asked to join them, but p3nguins is my home. I think that's the case for all those that are with the alliance - they feel at home here (even the ex-Orbiters!). There were reasons for them leaving, which have now been addressed and we're happy to play on for future rounds competitively with our strong core of teamplayers that we do in fact now have. P3 no longer accepts dead wood, we have become more elitist and I think this coming round's results will show that.

Also considering our problems this round I'd like to state some statistics:

7th on Average Score
8 T100 players
5th Average Size

Not bad for an ally of 38. Particularly because there was a lot of in-house problems. Now we have fantastic spirit and huddle together as P3nguins should do.

GL to all for next round :)

Re: p3nguins for R35
 

i think i missed something here, tho just incase wanted to post that Kenny is not euphoria :)

Re: p3nguins for R35
 

As long as you don't attack me again,

and again,

and again

I wish you luck in the round

Re: p3nguins for R35
 

Wow.... A single post by me that kenny replied to.... in jest i must add.... blew up into this weird argument about whos right and what went wrong?

Well let me clear up what happened shall I..... seeing as ive been made reference to in this thread a few times...

1) p3n was a great concept and an alliance that would work given the right circumstances.
2) The folks that left p3n left it as assman said to create something different and face a challenge.
3) There were disagreements between p3n hc and that was what really caused a branch off into euph.

With all this stated, i still wish p3n luck in the coming round... cause face it.. any alliance that has the guts to come back for multiple rounds has to have something being done right....

I learned from example with alliances such as Escape etc... it takes more than big names to make an alliance work ;)

gl Krypton.

Re: p3nguins for R35
 

I've only ever been joking in this entire thread.

Everything except me arguing with assman and winning. That bit was true.

Re: p3nguins for R35
 

hehe Kenny - I know ;)

Mystic, you don't have to explain to everyone what happened. All that you need to know is that the issues are now resolved and we're happy to play together and for each other.

Looking forward to the round.

Re: p3nguins for R35
 

Yup, even us ex-Orbiters consider this place a home away from home.
I joined part way through last round and I got to say i settled in really fast, it's a friendly and helpful atomsphere. We do help each other out a lot and have fun doing it.

Once we find CBA's coords we can all come together, bound by our urge to roid him. Nothing like a little mutual hate to bring people together :D

If any Orbiters see this and are returning to the game, or just looking for a new home feel free to drop by #p3nguins and have a chat.

Re: p3nguins for R35
 

Shit, I actually thought Euphoria were that Denial BG (Evolution?) that were "building up to eventually contend" a couple of rounds ago, what happened to them? :o

Re: p3nguins for R35
 

Good luck p3ng

Re: p3nguins for R35
 

I hate it when alliance threads forget the most important piece of information.

What is P3nguins vision for Planetarion? As you'll be representing everyone who joins to the PA Team, It means that the PA Team think you should be joining alliances which have the same vision as you... So how would P3nguins represent themselves?

Re: p3nguins for R35
 

I hate it when people dont read the actual post... it states what its requirements are more or less for even considering joining this alliance/what it expects of its members as a whole. Surely with common sense you can get what there 'vision' would be?

Re: p3nguins for R35
 

Not sure on the Evo front... I was only there one round and even that was as a scanner. You'd have to speak to somebody who'd been there longer.

How do I sign up? I'm new! :o

Re: p3nguins for R35
 

if your brand new to planetarion then the best starting point is probably to register yourself a nickname with the irc network that the game uses. You can do this at http://www.netgamers.org

You cant use a hotmail address, and its not a good idea to use a yahoo address (as both places filter the netgamers registration emails for some odd reason). After you have done their you should drop into #p3nguins. We dont typically recruit people who are brand new to the game but you can always drop in for a chat anyway! And some of our nicer members will even help you sort out some of the startup stuff!

Have fun and welcome to planetarion!
