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.

yeah - current version of elemental runs like crap on my work laptop... I had hoped it would work based on some of the dev journals, but so be it.... anyway, not really planning on playing it on laptop anyway, but I have to wait another day to get into it.

I'm pretty confident it will get plenty of support.  Hoping the SP campaign is a blast. 

on Aug 24, 2010

From what i'm reading general feeling is Elemental has been rushed and released unfinished. There's no tutorial and huge performance-stability problems. Some might think StarDock would learn from past mistakes....

I was waiting for a demo too see if i could enjoy it playing in my laptop (core 2 duo 2 Ghz, ati x1600, quite dated i know), but that seems very unlikely now. Anyway, i'm getting quite disappointed with SD release policy, as i read somewhere, paying customers are not beta testers.

on Aug 24, 2010

meh - waiting around for an elemental patch - contemplating firing up dg for old times sake - been a week or so...

also - was in dc and gettysburg the past 4-5 days or so - nice little vacation... need to nerd it up again computer style now though.

they are slow as fug w elemental - playing quite a few games as cheesus tonight

OMG_Splitshadow

And yes, I am going to make every other post in this thread

So are you going to be the next NinkiCZ?

PS. I did see Justin Bieber live a few days ago and he was AWESOME. All of you should go check him out if you get the opportunity.

and onto elemental at last - had some fun games of dg - feel free to pester me in the future if I'm on and you want to play - I realize that I won't be uninstalling this diamond in the ROUGH anytime soon... hoping that the elemental problems die down soon and maybe SD will be kind enough to push some fan service though to DG.

For those of you that haven't been very closely following what the frog has said about DG, there have been a few things that he hoped to accomplish that won't ever appear - a dev kit for map makers for 1 (pretty much crippling for the community).  But, more importantly, the announcement that GPG will be releasing a series a free updates for the game.  Now, as I understand it, SD is the publisher and has to pay for updates to GPG.  Suffice to say, if SD said to GPG, we want X and X and X and X and X fixed, here's the money, we would see all of those fixes.  But, if no additional money is being spent on DG and GPG said they'd provide an update or 2, we'd receive the message "GPG will provide a series of free updates."  This means that they will do something at sometime - MAYBE.  Now, SD's thing is that they will carry Demigod on impulse and it will be available for purchase 5 years from now and >.  There is still money to be made... but because the population has died off, the odds of them shelling out cash to make Demigod any better is EXTREMELY low.  Consider it from a sales POV.  Will demigod sell any more copies if they fix X X X X X X?   No.  Not at this point (even though the game is graphically better than SC2 with a 100 million + budget).  Their money is in simply doing nothing and getting additional sales.  Anyway, I don't think we can expect any fan service (eg we tell them what we want fixed and GPG releases a patch to address that).  Sadly, they have missed out on the higher volume of sales possible by making the game better when its in its prime.  How many of you would honestly recommend demigod to anyone at this point (even though WE love it)?  Anyhow, there has been some confusion and there are quite a few factors to this, but the number 1 reason that demigod isn't any better than it is is that SD doesn't see the need to invest further into the game.  From a business standpoint, I completely understand and I would do the same thing if I was in Brad's shoes.  But as a fan, I'm very saddened to see a game that could have been as popular as team fortress 1 and 2 go by the wayside.

Ninki - you have to show up more than once a week - you are gone.  Come back or...

If demigod 2 comes out I will cry a river !

Ninki, you're asian - you need to come play Starcraft

Yea ok Ninki lmao, i would if i could bring semi-frozen water bottles in to the venue, and my daughter made me take her. 

 

@ Pacov,

TF1 - oh i loved quake, played that game for almost 10 years lol. 

Demigods numbers continue to dwindle, if i had a choice i would say bust ass on demigod 2 - fix the problems there and screw the updates.  DG1 is a great game, but the flaws are fatal to the game.  It could have been a legendary game and join the ranks of quake, deus ex, starcraft 1 etc. etc. 

 

on Aug 25, 2010

Oh poor you Jong  , just wait till she's a teen, you'll get plenty of Justin Biebers then , so i'd start training with those frozen water bottles 

@ Pacov

Honestly, it's been months since i don't expect any kind of update to Demigod, i think it's quite clear the game has been abandoned by both its developer (GPG) and its publisher (SD). SD doesn't look as the good guy in the picture as much as previously though, more like the lesser of two evils now.

on Aug 25, 2010

OMG_Jongalt26

I hear that.

 

I don't know why, but it truly bothers me that GPG and Stardock don't realize how much of a blockbuster they could have had if only a couple of things had been different/better.

 

Nomi:  What do you want from them at this point?  They just have two different philosophies that don't mesh well... add the layoffs halfway through Demigod's development and the networking fiasco at launch and you there you have the "perfect storm" to mess up what had the potential to be one of the best games of all time.

 

on Aug 25, 2010

A series of free updates = 1 update obviously.

I just said it, i don't expect anything from them at this point. But the situation doesn't match too well with StarDock "long term support for their games" philosophy they "brag" so much about, and Demigod is half their game.

And just like you, i can't help to get angry at SD/GPG for miscarrying the diamond they had in their hands.

on Aug 25, 2010

I'm starting a frozen water bottle throwing league.  Anyone interested?

I still blame GPG for their BS with demigod.  I still think SD "saved the day" when it came to it as well.
