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.

Lol I take it we both like vampires

I like necromancers. Any character who can take control of other characters or raise undead armies is fun to play IMO

Except in Demigod, where the minions are kind of lame.

Hehe so I take it you are buying Guild Wars 2 and playing with me?

Well, I'll be picking up guild wars 2 anyway

on Aug 30, 2010

Yay ^.^ if we make a guild is it gonna be small like our clan here or full? TBH I prefer smaller amounts because then it isn't all serious and you know everyone.

you can still know everyone in a larger guild.. just can't be afraid of making friends online  I knew most everyone in my WoW guild that had ~300 ppl in it.

on Aug 30, 2010

Heh the Guilds I did best in were smaller like 30 people max the bigger ones were to serious imo and having a small crew to run around and talk to all the time (since the max party size was usually 8) was fun.

A sad day has come to the buttzex man,

I recently moved into the house I will be staying in during the next school year of my college life.

and...............

The internet is absolutely crap.

I don't know if I will be gaming much unless I can find a magical way to make increase the power of the signal.

Back in my day, we would have killed for an internet connection like that... you're all soft.

on Aug 31, 2010

ouch cow... that is exceeding lousy... think my cell phone has more upload bandwidth... hope you can figure out that magical way.  No chance of getting them to upgrade the internet at said house.

And now for some brief, random pacov dialog.  good times.

In my entire life, I have been addicted to exactly 3 games.  Addiction sounds bad, but this type isn't that bad imo.  Its been master of orion 2 (couldn't go back and play it now, but I played the shite out of it back in the day), starcraft 1 (me love competitive mp against complete strangers - no clans for me then), and demigod. Those 3 games have captivated me.  I could go back and play the sc1 campaign today and forgive the graphics and just enjoy myself.  Its amazing to me that the game has stood the test of time in my eyes. 

I'm sitting with access to every major gaming system, an excellent PC rig, a substantial amount of great games that I bought at discount, and as it stands now, I find myself playing 3 games:  SC2, demigod, and elemental.  Elemental needs time to grow and clearly has some issues (play a game on a tiny map and you tell me if there is major slowdown or not after 50 or so turns).  Sc2, I shot myself in the face as I play mainly with new players (it amounts to pacov needs to have a huge force at the start to save someone - then someone gets picked off because it never occurred to them to defend their scv's probes, etc - then loss).  In short, I have an awesome early game and play 1v1's well, but I have to alter my logical strat every game to compensate for people with weak defense or slow builds.  And last - Demigod.  I know a bunch of us wrote this off some time ago or a few weeks ago.  The community seems to be about the same size as it was about a month ago.  Which means you can still get a game in at the usual times.  My favorite mode is pugging under Cheesus and then balancing if desired. 

Side note - PAINT - you've had demigod for almost as long as I have and you don't know how to swap with DA.  BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.    How do you play so many games and not have experience with every dg.  Crazy talk.  But all the same, fun playing w you recently.

Anyway, all of that crap said, I find that demigod is what I generally want to play.  Its probably a close 2nd to the original starcraft for me and its better looking than almost every single game out there (which is awesome and lousy thanks to the 0 map modding support - ya dummies - make a game that can never be all that updated by the community - brilliant).  But that said, its excellent in detail - the zoom levels are awesome - the core game play is superb.  The game play itself requires minor polishing and tweaks.  The underlying MP requires (and required) HUGE reworking.  Maybe I'm just 1 voice, but the potential for demigod was so much more than so many other games.  Again, with its budget, its better looking graphically than sc2.  That is amazing.  Anyway, all that blahblah aside, I love me some dg. I'm playing it more and more recently and I expect to continue to do so.  Anyway, I'm not up for hosting a tournament, but I've enjoyed playing with the few of you that I've bumped into on my cheesus account recently and I remember very well how much and how long I've enjoyed DG.  I expect to be playing for quite some time.  Hope some of you will join me.

So - perhaps we should have the occasional DG alumni days where we all decide to get back on and play some big ass games?  I'm quite content just hosting my own games and bumping into my dg friends at random, but I wouldn't mind the coordinate effort from time to time and could book an evening weekly or bi-weekly to get some dg on.  Let me know if you are game and I'll setup our 1st dg alumni game.

i knew there was a reason I thought you was cool, necromancers for life!

ewww large guilds suck lol.  I was a founding member of a guild in DAOC that grew to over 250 members.  The leader stopped playing to focus on his masters and the 2nd in command quit too.  That left me in charge and after a couple of months i just got tired of all of the bitching.  People complained about everything.

If you're just a member of a large guild then you probably won't understand because the officers and leaders have to deal with all of the social issues.  It sure took the fun out of the game.   It was like a virus.  Thats when i decided to go back to one of my addictions - Quake 3.  Heck by the time quake 3 came out i was tired of FPS games (Wolf 3d, spear, doom, hexen, heretic, descent, ROTT etc.).  A little store near my house rented PC games for $2 a night and it only took 1 night to copy those games on a good ole 2x burner.  I also discoverd system shcok 2 and Deus Ex (one of the best games of all time)  One night they mistakenly gave me q3 instead of messiah so i figured why not check it out.  Single player sucked and i almost gave up on it then.  I figured i'd try the multiplayer on my wonderful new DSL line (that sucked but was better than dial up and the only option at the time)

Thats when i rememberd how much fun i had playing doom on a LAN.  The crack like speed of Q3 grabbed me balls and held on for about a decade or so.  But I digress.

Im looking forward to guild wars 2 however im disappointed by the fact that they took away my monk I've always loved playing healers in RPG's.  The other problem i am not looking forward to is the fact that the level cap will be high.  Thats one of the reasons l enjoyed GW1 so much is that i don't have to play constantly to keep up with my friends, who have a lot more time to dedicate that i do.

I was an officer.  Rather than deal with the social problems, we encouraged them.  Constant harassment, annoying shit, mass spam, racial slurs, death threats, w/e rolled through.  Typical internet stuff.  www.wuthapn.com (best guild website ever lol).  May sound like a terrible environment.. but it was a lot of fun.  It was mostly a love or hate guild lol.  But.. after 3 years of leading the guild.. our GM started to get cranky and tried to turn it all into something it wasn't.  It's still going, but.. I'm obviously not still playing it.

on Aug 31, 2010

Now that actually sounds like fun lol. 

Cow, are you running on wireless ?

 

on Aug 31, 2010

Eh I hated the long PVP battles if you didn't have someone dedicated to shutting the monks down I'm kinda glad. And from what they've said I doubt you'll need to grind.

 

How is Guild Wars 2 different from other MMOs?

While Guild Wars 2 adds a persistent-world experience, it retains the unique characteristics of the original game, including strong narrative, extensive instanced gameplay, anti-grind design philosophy, and strong support for competitive play.

 

How will character progression work? Will you be raising the level cap?

Guild Wars 2 will have the kind of extensive character advancement appropriate to a persistent-world RPG. Our goal is to avoid forcing players into the grind-based gameplay that too often accompanies a high level cap.

Also, to allow players the freedom to play together even if their friends are at a much higher (or lower) level, we are planning to implement a strong sidekick system, similar to that used in City of Heroes™.

We're applying this same philosophy to competitive play. Players will be able to engage in organized, balanced PvP (similar to GvG in the original Guild Wars) without first leveling up characters, finding equipment, and unlocking skills. While inside the organized PvP area, all characters will be the same power level and will have access to the same equipment.

 

 

So hey it could be awesome, but either way lookin forward to seeing you all in it.
