NinkiCZ's Blog
Published on May 16, 2010 By OMG_NinkiCZ In Demigod

Welcome to our clan. We are the biggest and best clan in Demigod, and arguably the only clan with any hope of survival. What is our goal? To get games going without the ridiculous wait times, meet lots of cool people, and last but not least, have lots of fun. If you want a clan based on skill, you won't find one in this game.

Q: Are you the clan leader?

No, absolutely not. GM worked as a democracy, and the same deal goes here - majority rules. I am just your Public Relations (PR) guy. I have noticed that having a solid PR guy does keep the clan intact, and I have made sure I am pretty much accessible and visible as often as I can. I am on msn, xfire, skype, facebook and vent. If you need to find me, you probably will find me and of course I'll allow you to find me. Just ask if you're interested. 

Q: What is the recruitment process?

There is no recruitment process, we will accept anyone who wants to join. Just add the tag, hop onto vent, say Hi and I'll add you on here. If you want I can serenade your entrance to the clan with a song of your personal choice, but it must be Top 40.

Q: Are there any rules?

1. Be nice, be respectful of others. I understand trash talking is part of the game for some, but please don't extend it to something personal. It's just a game after all.

2. Unless there is an agreement among the players in the game, please play balanced games. I understand that completely balanced games are probably not possible at the moment, but try to make it as balanced as possible.

3. Have fun! 

If there are anymore questions, feel free to ask away!

 

Here are the current members of OMG (in alphabetical order):

 

OMG_awuffleablehedgie (a.k.a. OMG_BlackHatHedgehog)

So I used to refer to him as waffles, because I always thought his name was supposed to relate to waffles. Apparently, I was wrong. He's wuffleable - which means huggable apparently. I'm not sure how a hedgehog is huggable, but I guess it is in his world. Hedgie is his nickname, and he's probably the coldest person in this clan, but once you get used to his cold exterior, he turns out to be a really nice guy. He just has these awkward mood swings, where he's super energetic around 10pm EST, and then after 12am, he tends to be super cynical, and then after 3am he turns on his seductive bedroom voice. If you feel offended by him, don't be, because he's just a hedgehog. If you have any questions about any statistical stuff in Demigod, Hedgie knows all. It's actually kinda scary.

OMG_Blackmage (a.k.a. OMG_synnworld)

OMG-CaptainTaco

Taco was an important addition to the clan because he provides the comic relief for everyone. Just look for his posts and you will instantly know what I mean. He likes to describe himself as a terrible DG player, but he only says that just so his opponents will let their guard down and then Taco can strike. I always knew he was a sneaky guy, right when I saw his Pedobear avatar. As you can tell from his name, he loves Tacos but I'm not sure how strong that love is. In fact, none of us really know if his love for Tacos is stronger than tacoguy's. That is a question up for further discussion.

OMG_Defenz

A player from Vancouver. That's all I really know so far but if you're Canadian then that automatically makes you cool.

OMG-dontforgetyourpeanuts

I have a feeling this guy is loaded.

OMG_Epiphenomenon

Epi is what we all call him, so I suppose that's his nickname. He's the brains of the group, Mr.PhD in computer science. I will be joining him in September (hopefully if I survive the summer) but until then he is above me academically. I shall be your colleague soon Epi! He is the voice of reason. He's very mature and civilized, so I'm not really sure why he's a gamer (haha juust kidding). He is currently my academic advisor, even though he never agreed to it. But who cares, I'm sure he'll agree cause he's a nice guy. If you need academic advice, I suggest you go to Epi.

OMG-howboutnoooo

We all call him Max, because that's his name. He is the dog of the family - and that is not to say that he plays an unimportant role. Dogs are a man's best friend and they are extremely friendly, just like Max. Sometimes when you listen to him you might think he's on LSD, but really he's naturally just like that. He sees the world in magical ways, and he opens up your mind to a whole new world. He's also extremely active - as in he's pretty hyper and is always energetic until around 11pm when he usually goes to bed. I initally made fun of Max for sleeping so early as a teenager, but once I realized how much energy he spends just talking I understand why he's exhausted by the end of the day. If you are feeling down, go talk to Max. He is the guy in the clan who will cheer you up.

OMG__IN1

OMG_Jackho

OMG_Jona

Jona is just Jona. He's the drama queen. Yes, believe it or not I am not the biggest drama queen, he is and he's damn proud of it. From just 3 minutes of talking to him, you'd realize that he likes to put himself on the pedestal, and he does. But even with all that attitude, he's a lot of fun to hang out with. Listening to him on vent always makes my day. He also never rage quits, and never actually gets angry - which is kind of surprising now that I think about it. He also has nice eyes that he cherishes, I'm not sure if that makes a difference.

OMG_Jongalt26

Nickname is Jon. One continuous question that has been floating around is this, "Who would win in a fight against Jon, KAL-EL and yeahneil?" That is an answer no one has been able to answer yet. Those 3 in my mind are the tough trios - but really, they're all actually probably the nicest people in the clan right from the get go. I'm not going to lie, I was scared to talk to them initially but after maybe.. 2 days? I got comfortable with them. Jon to me is a wonderful fatherly figure so he is definitely the father of the family.

OMG_KAL-EL

His name is pronounced just like the way it's spelled. If Jon is our father, KAL-EL is probably our grandfather, except he's not even that old. So why do I call him the grandfather? Because he has so many people that support him that you can't help but admit that there's something about KAL-EL that makes people like him. The answer becomes quite obvious when you engage in a conversation with him. He always keeps it real, and is genuinely friendly. I still have a hard time matching his friendliness with his tough voice but I'm getting there. 

OMG_Mybones

A fellow gleek, and although there are some disagreements between us about who the best character in glee is (obviously Rachel, but he refuses to admit her greatness), as long as he is a fan of glee, I am a fan of him.

OMG_NinkiCZ

I'm just your average joe who's Asian. I'm quite boring so let's move on to someone more interesting.

OMG_Nomilarac

OMG_Obiwhan

I've actually always wanted to meet Obi (his nickname) after yeahneil was making fun of my voice and mentioned that he also makes fun of Obi's. When I actually got to meet him, he wasn't quite what I expected because contrary to what yeahneil thinks, he just had a normal voice. Obi is one of the few that makes me literally LOL. I sometimes do wonder if he's telling me the truth about his age though. You'd understand if you've known him long enough. He is the joker. No, not the joker from Batman, but an actual guy who makes jokes. However, his jokes are NSFW - Not Safe For Work, so be careful.

OMG_pacov

There really isn't much to say about pacov because for anyone that comes to these forums, you really can't miss his name. I've never gotten to know him on a personal level, but from my encounters with him he's quite a wonderful person. I consider him the father of Demigod, as do most people I'm sure because he plays such an active role in this community. I've always wanted to get to know you myself and I'm glad that the opportunity has arrived. I shall definitely update this introduction after we become familiar with each other. I also did not think you were the type to listen to Ke$ha. From your posts, I always thought you were more the old skool type - so there's definitely lots of things for me to learn.

OMG_Pa1nKi11er

This is irek, yo. 

OMG_RedneckNinja

OMG_DD-shred_demon

If you don't know who shred_demon is then you are definitely missing out. He is actually the real Gentleman. He has a beautiful Scottish accent and loves to drink tea. He cannot live without his tea. He is also extremely skilled with his use of emoticons (the best in DG?) and we all have lots to learn from him. I've never heard him get angry, he's always smiling in my mind and he always puts a smile on my face. Therefore, if you are feeling down, talk to shreddy. He is the clan's sun (yes as in the big thing that shines the world), but you'll have to ignore his strong desire to wear a skirt and become a transformer.

OMG_Soccer-mom

I remember seeing the name Soccer-mom on Lagwars and thinking what kind of a person would want to be known as a soccer mom. Although his name is a bit weird, he actually is nothing like his name on vent. First, he's not a mom. Second, he's not even a parent. Third, I'm not even sure if he likes soccer. He's actually one of the younger guys on vent but surprisingly is one of the most mature guys on there too. I suppose it has to do with the fact that he studies physics (which I think is absolutely amazing because I suck at physics). If you want to delve into a discussion on quantum theory, talk to him.

OMG_SoSick

Another Canadian from Edmonton, which makes him cool. Quite a laid back sorta guy, who's apparently an excellent cook. He kind of reminds me of jaws8you (who seemed to have disappeared somewhere) but without the sighing and he also never gets mad. He is a great guy to play games with because he's a great listener, always calm and even takes responsibility for his mistakes - which is quite a rare sight in Demigod, and even in life. He has almost made drastic improvements over these weeks and I'm sure he'll be excellent in no time. 

OMG_Splitshadow

Don't be fooled by his age. Kids his age should be listening to Justin Bieber and Miley Cyrus, yet he chooses to listen to Proud Mary by CCR. He likes to blame me for not being on vent, when in fact I am always on and I do pm him from time to time yet he chooses to ignore my messages, probably from Maccilia's terrible influence. He says he can tell a lot about you from your voice, so you should ask him for a personality diagnosis if you're interested.

OMG_Teseer

Everytime I talk to Teseer on vent, he seems like a completely different person. If you look over his posts you can tell that most of the time he's under the influence of some sort of substance, which could explain why he's a different person each time. While he sounds like a tough dude, he's not aggressive at all and I don't think I've ever heard him get mad. He also has this disgusting passion for TB, it's kind of to the point where it's a bit obsessive in my opinion. If you have any questions about TB, ask this man. Provide him with TB replays and he'll be very pleased.

OMG_Zalera (a.k.a. OMG_Sol)

He's barely on so how am I supposed to know anything about him. All I know is that he pops up in the forums once in a while and he seems to be BFFs with Splitshadow.

OMG_Zelax_

OMG_Zex (a.k.a. Cowbuttzex)

I always thought cow was a weird guy because he's the only person who seems to get along with Peter, but when you talk to him he's actually quite normal. I think it's because he's very accepting of everyone, as you can tell from being our first ever member of the week. If you don't know who to talk to when you come onto vent, the first person I would suggest is cow, because he's very considerate and would do his best to include you in games. He's also very encouraging and I think he plays a vital role in merging the members of the clan together.

I'll take your key if no one else wants it Pacov. I'll probably get SCII for my birthday in less than a month  

on Jul 27, 2010

can I beat the entire SP campaign in 7 hours? I refuse to give money to Activision for their terrible, terrible treatment of programmers and poor buisness practices but I won't complain if I can play it for free 8D

Quoting OMG_pacov,
reply 1047
Sooo... I just picked up my copy of starcraft 2.  Guess what?  It comes with 2 guest passes for the game.  In short, there are 2 extra cd keys that enable people that don't have the game to download it.  You get 7 hours of game time or 14 days from when you activate it (whichever comes first).  Anyway, its a nice way to try to get more people to pick up the game.  Smart thinking.  Anyone else pick up SC today?  I'm taking a half day at work so I can nerd it up soon.  Noon can't get here fast enough though.

edit - If 1 of you will actually use it, I will give 1 of those keys away to one of you folks that I actually know and/or have played with in the past.  If you are just buying the game today, don't ask for the key.  If you don't think you'll use it, more than once, don't ask for the key. 



gimme a link and the key and ill gladly whoop your ass after an hour or so

EDIT: GOT ONE ALREADY!

I actually started downloading this and laughed. 7GB DLing on my PC would have taken like 8 hours and THAN I WOULD HAVE TO INSTALL after that too!.......................... ill just buy it and install it eventually rather than deal with a disgusting DL time.

on Jul 27, 2010

Mmmm Cow, since you got one of those trial keys already but you won't apparently use it, could you lend it to me?

I probably won't get the game (i was unimpressed by the beta) but it'd be nice if i could try the campaign and the retail MP game, who knows, maybe this time i really get into it ( though i really doubt it). Tks in any case

 

P.S: Hedgie, what's your story about Activision terrible treatment of programmers? Haven't heard/read anything like that lately, maybe an "EA spouse" kind of thing?

on Jul 27, 2010

Hello Gentlemen!  I've just switched my tag and I'm ready to kick some arse!  I should be in vent as soon as I find my headset (It's been a while since Shadowbane).  TTY soon.

on Jul 27, 2010

how does 7 hours become the equivalent of 14 days?

on Jul 27, 2010

You can play for 7 hours or 14 days, whichever comes first.

You could play 30 minutes a day for 14 days and play every day, and then it runs out OR

You could play 1 hour/day for 7 days, and then it runs out.

Their treatment of Infinity Ward (the people who made Modern Warfare 2 which was one of the largest financially successful entertainment products of all time).

- They posted security guards by the doors and forced the programmers to stay longer hours and program and also to monitor their progress

- They bullied the programmers into taking a salary cut in exchange for a promised % of the royalties. Since MW2 was supposed to (and did) make a LOT of money, this actually worked in the programmers' favor... except half the royalties are being withheld and they fired several employees and waived their royalties. Which basically means that they have been paying their programmers for 30k a year while they are making millions.

- Various other stuff that they've done. Withholding wages and forced 24 hour shifts are the two biggest things. (I understand games have "crunch" and programmers sometimes have to work 50, 60 or even 80 hour weeks, it's part of the industry. However, there is a difference between "we need you to get XXX done and we'll compensate for your extra time" and "we're forcing you to stay here and not paying you overtime")

on Jul 27, 2010

Wowowowow, that's worse than anything i could have imagined. I had read some stories about that assh*le CEO of theirs, but nothing like that, EA looks like nice guys now compared to Activision .

Oh well, now i'm glad i don't have any of their recent games. Tks for the info Hedgie

on Jul 27, 2010

On a side note, there seems to be even less people playing Demigod tonite, i guess it's Starcraft II launch influence. This could very well be the last nail in Demigod's coffin for me, not even the usual suspects playing anymore. Ah well, it was "good" while it lasted.

on Jul 27, 2010

Yeah - I'd be playing demigod, but I'm loving the SP campaign in SC2.  Split - I'm pming u a key to use. 

on Jul 27, 2010

The SP campaign is definitely longer than 7 hours btw.  No idea how long, but I'd guess a bit over 20... maybe 30.

.. don't you sleep?  I heaaard that you can download while you sleep.. and install takes like 5 minutes and has the background story being read with pictures so it's not bad at all.
