Title: Gecko mine cleaning project

People of the Waste! This is Sanguinetti from the Society of Graverobbers. As some of you might know, in the last twelve hours, the Khans infested Gecko mine with a horde of ghouls. We usually value the great work they do, but they went too far this time. As we lack the manpower to do the purification ourselves, we call for the lone badasses and gang leaders to help us - and everyone in the north region. If you want to see the waste as a better place, bring your man. If we can't amass a sizable army in one or two hours, I'll pinpoint an exact GMT time on this evening for the attack.

People, do for the greater good!

Drive in there by car. You should spawn behind it cowering you from ghouls and loading bug. That way you shold be able to clear it even in small numbers.

Well, our first attempt has failed. I think it wouldn't have been better with sacrificing our hummer. We just lack the numbers and effectiveness to do that ourselves. So, today, at 20:00 GMT if the infestation is still present, we will gather at the gates of Vault City. We expecting all wastelanders of good will towards the economy of the north to join us.

Here is what to expect:

step 1 buy mercs (rl's for max pwnage)
step 2 use pvp alts not lame crafters
step 3 do as oska said
step 4 SWARMM (might need tttla help for this one)
step 5 laugh at deadd ghouls and do victory dance ( in rl)

ghouls dont have much hp so simply use bgers and use rl's they will be dead in no time and you can dance dance dance.

Thanks. As said, we lack numbers, resources, and well trained professionals, so don't expect us to solve the situation ourselves. What I have is a pretty face, a suit, loud mouth, faith, radios, hopes, and good will. All of these are dedicated to clean the mine-malignancy. For a while. After some attempts, I'll just shrug, do some logistics and cheer for all the dead bluesuits at the mine, as it just raises the number of graves for the betterment of further generations.

When some russian put his slaves in the mine as to actually PROTECT people, not to spawn rape them, he got them removed by GMs, yet PKers get away with it. I'll be at VC today to help you guys. :)

So, today, at 20:00 GMT if the infestation is still present, we will gather at the gates of Vault City.
Do you mean GMT +0?

I'm actually curious about this too. The thing I thought was strange this time is that I was at gecko mine a short while before these clowns brought all their slaves there. There were a few pkers standing in the entry, and Voland popped in and said "there be (sic) TKs with mercs in a sec. over wm". And despite this, they still showed up and ended up being there for several hours. Requests to GM's that you would spawn dead in gecko mine went ignored.
So I guess I'm curious what the actual rules regarding spawn camping with mercs/slaves are. I had thought that since it took advantage of a flaw with the game mechanics it was considered 'illegal', but apparently they're willing to let it slide even though it involves no tact or gameplay, just the patience to build a ton of slaver alts and have them arrange their slaves to instantly kill anyone who spawns anywhere on the map without them being able to get a shot off.

Hahaha, nice.

We'll probably stop camping Gecko Mine, it's so boring there.

Maybe we'll do it with Gecko itself, or BH, someplace a bit more exciting...

Everyone, you're welcome, please post your thank you's in this thread.  For all the fun LOL, It didn't take long to organize.

The amount of HQ Ore/minerals recovered from this event, via killing INVADERS of our property, and slave mining, was in the hundreds.  The meanial cost of the ghouls is a rather non event.  So anyone who collected the "spoils" in the end, enjoy the hunting rifles please lol...


As for your comments....

When some russian put his slaves in the mine as to actually PROTECT people

That's what we were doing, protecting OUR people, so whats the problem?  There was no "getting away" with anything, it's a legitimate game mechanic.

Here's a news flash -OMG- better call a GM! you died at an unprotected mine.  And when enough people gathered, and the ghouls were running low on rounds, they were taken out TACTICALLY, and STRATEGICALLY by an overwhelming player force, that self organized, and I'm sure, was entertaining to be part of. So sounds to me like it's no "unbeatable unavoidable glitch" again - You can all thank us anytime, we like to entertain.

So don't be jealous, just because the Army of Darkness was awesome and you lacked the initiative to think of it, boldy install it, and laugh at the ruses of those who oppossed it.

Next time it won't be gecko mine, and next time it won't be a puny 70 slave ghouls.  TK's are already hard at work, with different mechanics, and different targets in mind, better have your speed dial set to 1-800-IRC-a-GM-becauseURaweakgamer.

TKs slave armies are only the beginning of a new dark era...


To the troops... great work Gentleman, Phase 1 has worked out EXACTLY as planned.

As a FOnline player and the OP of the thread, I'd like to add that I found the mine-camping event fun, and view the Khans as a lovely bunch of villains - noone should wish for better adversaries. It's also nice to hear that you aim for even higher deepnesses. I feel grateful for that there is a game where such is possible. The fact that my character and gang took it personally, and started asking for help is immaterial.

It's not the first time that happen and we know how to deal with those traps. Doesn't mean it's legit, nor especially fun, I prefer by far fighting players: there is not much tactic when you fight against an army of dumb NPCs.

Exactly. I guess I don't understand how they're so proud of gathering a few guys and planting some easy to find slaves to eliminate all PvP interaction. The fact that the mine is 'unprotected' is well known and not being contended. But unprotected areas are fun only because of the PvP that results from them, not from fighting NPC's that are relying solely on large masses to make a hit.
A tactical, prepared opponent I can respect. A group of unoriginal kids taking advantage of a bug that has already been pointed out, I cannot. No one respects you, no one fears you. You're like the kid in high school with no friends who tells everyone that he'll eat anything for a dollar just to try to get someone's approval. If you want to upset the game, try to do something original that relies on your skills and not faulty AI mechanics.
I'd like to think that your next attack that you're spending so much time on is really going to be something interesting, but from the sounds of it all we can expect is the same shit in a different location and with more slaves. Such clever kids.

All I'm seeing here is a bunch of whiny double talk and outright hypocrisy,

Love us or hate us, you're dumb asses are talking about us.  That was the purpose of the attack, you fell for it.  Worse, most of you have made yourselves look like fools in the process.

still waiting for an actual player versus player fight then, will be fun to watch. Even if you had the numbers, you guys would still lack experience which is quite obvious.

Also quite obvious is the fact that you are trying to compensate lack of skill with spamming mercs/slaves, while having a big mouth on the forum. You clearly are living in your own dreamland as you are putting things totally out of proportion.

You got 3 groups of people on this server: first the loners that are just playing by themselves and dont partcipate on the forums or on irc. Then you have people who have build themselves a reputation over the months/years and are active in the community though they dont belong to any gang, and then you finally have the gangs who are engaged in pvp/tc and matter in the overall constellation of gangs on this server.

And the only thing that matters for the third group is TC, nothing else. If you think you are cool because you have a lot of ghouls, then fine, so be it. You can dream all you want but nobody cares (inb4 I care because im writing this and therefore my logic is flawed, blabla skip the trolling).

Unless you start to engage in serious battles your shiny little circle jerk of a gang means nothing. And sadly, I don't see you guys anywhere close to tc'ing as then your dream world would come crumbling down in a few seconds, no matter if hawks, tttla, cs or any other gang will have the fortune to arrive first.

Everything John Porno said above is dead on. Nobody is whining because you're undefeatable, they're just trying to show you rationally that what you're doing doesn't involve any skill. You guys are so quick to laud yourself for your trolling, or for getting a new hummer or a hundred HQ mins or whatever it is like it's so hard to do. PvP is hard and fun to do, grid camping with slaves is not. If you want to become a respected gang, do something respectable. TTTLA, CS and S8 have earned their names as notorious PK gangs that can back up what they say. You guys do nothing but talk about how awesome you are while you hide at your base and let your slaves do the work.
Plus, I guess I fail to see how taking cover behind a car is a 'faulty game mechanic'.

Post by: Rake on August 11, 2011, 08:52:40 pm
According to my calculations TTTLA lost alot more than our cost was to set this up. Hehe a fun fact regardless of argument is that whining on the forums is not what winners do. The good ol' doc will now share some facts with the forum community:

*TTTLA used 20 (expensive) bg mercs reclaiming Gecko mine.

*TTTLA lost 19 (expensive) bg mercs to the Army of Darkness.

While using mercs yourself you go here to whine about our skills? Be careful not to loose your face and credibility Johnnyboy...

Nevertheless...

*All Khans had a laugh.

*The Khans lost 70 (free) slaves.

*The Army of Darkness is not dead... rather undead.
 
*The Khans grew stronger economically.

*The Khans hosted a fun event that gained attention and stirred up feelings that brought our enemies gloating in empty glory on, as well as whining jealously to, the forums.

*The Khans hade a successful strategical ops test.

*The Khans had an behind-the-scenes implementation of corporate standard informationlogistics.

*The Khans honored the Evil Dead series.

Personally, I like swarm their mercs, and wipe them in less than 2 minutes and think that the mercs-leaders spend at least one or two hours to find/put slaves, and relog.  :D

Edit:

*All Khans had a laugh.

*The Khans lost 70 (free) slaves.
-> The Khans lost lot of time.

Quote
*The Khans grew stronger economically.
-> The Khans reputation is grewing stronger too ... as the noobest team of the server.

etc ...

To finish, you are speaking about the Khans as a player team ... but that is no more than a NPC team because when you see ennemies, you run WM and you let your slaves fight instead of you. Bunch of cowards  ;D

you can talk all you want. Unless you actually get on the battlefield your arguments dont have any basis at all.

And besides, C88 never use mercs, same goes for tttla basically. Last time we used mercs was during the peacekeepers period but that's another story.

You are also free to do some small matches against us on modoc or something if you want to, we always appreciate some pvp.
Title: Re: Gecko mine cleaning project
Post by: Gargantua on August 11, 2011, 10:00:52 pm
We took modoc from C88 less than a week ago, and no one one showed.

No one ran to WM at gecko mine, we mined,  held the defense with players AND mercs, then left the army there when we were done.

I think we log at different times, I have yet to -ever- see a member of TTLA.

@Jescri,
No matter what amount of caps TTTLA possess, from every viewpoint especially an economical one the Khans are victorious in this operation. We had a real good time setting this up, in what way could playing the game be a waste of time? You do not really present any valid points at all, not because you are stupid but because one simply can't argue with fact. We didn't create this thread, it was created concerning one of our operations. Prepare for a new world order.

@John Porno,
Only a stupid fool would accept to conduct a discussion under the conditions of primal eristo-rethorics of the 'if you don't fight me, your arguments has no basis' type. No matter what the c88 and the TTTLA usually do, 19 bg mercs were apparently needed to free Gecko mine from the Khans - Army of Darkness, based on this FACT your accusations of lack of skill because mercs were used is TRUE for every member of the team that free'd Gecko aswell. I draw the conclusion that your not here to conduct a proper discussion and face facts with facts but rather to try to kick dirt on us and try to stain our radiating glory... the only logical explanation for you to do this is that you are very, very afraid of us. You should be, watch your back in the wastes ;)

You beat 70 slaves all with guns, (Doesnt matter what kind that's still quite a force in such a position, critical hits and all) you used cars to cover yourselves from the insta kill on spawn, which shows a good use of resources, and yet you sit here raging at "The Khans" for having fun in what they do.

Actually, I just pointed out how lame this way to fight was, as it is far less fun than fighting against player, because someone said "noone should wish for better adversaries". It was only meant to convince them to stop using mercs/slaves and fight with us with their PvP char, because I do think everyone would have more fun like that.
Title: Re: Gecko mine cleaning project
Post by: John Porno on August 11, 2011, 10:35:39 pm
Rake, a fact is that The Khans never fought in Town Control, unlike Crazy 88. Thus, we are talking on whole different levels. And when I mean "skill", then I'm referring to player vs. player combat, not how to kill npcs in the best way as there is no skill needed in the first place.

I also just invited you guys to fight with anyone and you say we are afraid of you? That's one highschooler having his try at reverse-psychology right there.

I'm probably speaking for every pvp gang out there when I'm saying that the only thing we want is to see The Khans in Town Control. This is the one and only thing that matters on this server and if you don't prove yourself there you can just go back to killing bluesuits at the hub.

wow, you are asking people to prove themselves to you now?  Who are you to tell anyone they need to prove themselves to you?  You are god?  Mastermind of the world?  Who you are to say what matters? or anyone? You may think only tc matters but that doesn't mean everyone must follow in step. You seem to have a pretty big ego and I think you should get it checked out. 

It is clear The Khans are just trying to have fun their way, whether that involves gathering an army of slaves to capture an area and suck it of it's resources, sitting for 15 minutes in a town, or just randomly killing everyone they find.  You just can't seem to accept that.

clanmembers of tc gangs make up most of the community and in order to get yourself a name and respect you have to do tc.

sounds like grove street but this is basically what it comes down to.

Also, I rather sit 15 minutes in town control than sit for more than 5seconds in ncr.

I take new players hunting for Brahmin, sometimes go on little adventures travelling with strangers, helping them to get to other cities or get XP. Fight in PVE with small groups. Get shot to pieces by the occasional rocket launcher. Mine or gather every now and again and make some new ammo or armour.

Slow and easy-going fun. That keeps me happy. Never really gone into great detail with TC, PVP, RP or gang politics. Might do each again some point, but no hurry.

I might be in a minority, but I'm sure I'm not the only one.

I think what he's saying is that for a gang like The Khans who make outlandish claims as to their power, this is the only way they can truly prove it, so therefore the only thing that matters.
And it's a valid point. The only reputation they've gained has been as the guys who talk themselves up in their bases without leaving to do any kind of gang combat. So, essentially: circle jerks.
So until that changes, everything they say is really just hot air. I can sit in a safe and unknown location and tell everyone how awesome I am too. But I don't, because I'm not a douche.

There are (ok, were) quite a lot loonies playing just for fun, without actively engaging in any of the above mentionend.
My point is that most of these players are not really visible. Not everyone has a forum account and uses irc. The only time these players come in contact with anyone else is either when they hang around in hub/ncr or meet somebody in a random enc. The dialouge usually is limited to either "hi" "peace" or nothing, as we all can imagine. The game itself forces people into a paranoia which makes establishing contacts a lot harder as well.

The players that make this game are in the big gangs. This is not wow, there is no global chat. The only way to reach the whole server is to start a tc timer.

It's sad that wwp is gone as that was another opportunity for people to get involved.

In the end though all the big gangs are sitting on their irc/mumble/ts and wait for some action to start. You can't basically reach any tttla, hawk, vsb, c88, tsar, rouge, cs, pirate or any other tc gang by killing brahmin or hanging in ncr.

TC is this game's "late game" content and there is no way around getting into contact with the previously mentioned gangs if you want to participate.

The strange thing is that nobody inside the gangs would notice if suddenly all loners disappeared and vice versa. We have these two different "societies" on this server that don't really interfere with each other.

The only problem is that the khans are in the first group and try to get into the second, while already bragging about their nonexistent victories.

Khans have tags, so we represent 24/7, which is why we get so much hate. and forum posts, despite being one of the newest gangs.
It's amazing how much more I hear about the Khans, than C88, or TTTLA. Infact, I rarely hear ANYTHING about the last two, unless its "c88 pwns you." or "come to x location and you'll get owned by c88." I believe the term is weak-sauce, which is why I'm a Khan, and gladly accept all those bursts to my face in NCR.

Secondly, I'd like to thank all these posts because more and more people come up to me and ask how to become a Khan every day.

Indeed, The Khans have been around for around a month and yet we're quickly becoming one of the most infamous gangs in FOnline.

Just chilling in town many people will attempt to burst, rocket, and plant bombs on me. Believe me, I take those bursts like a champ, because what it all means is that we've definitely made our presence known in this game, a certain GM I won't name even going out of their way to find reasons to ban our members.

(Mengele is a common german name and I still think he should be unbanned.)

@ crappler
As I just said, you belong to a different group of players. 90% of the time we are just doing something else. We never are ingame, never "hang out" anywhere, especially not down south. No wonder you don't see us as the only place you can iare the northern towns 5pm-3am CET.

You also seem to be getting the wrong picture of us but I guess that's due to misconceptions of various natures. We never smacktalk unless you really ask for it. Especially the tttla swarm accusations, which are getting quite out of hand lately are pissing us off, we actually try to go with even numbers (inb4 highway pirates affiliates trolling).

As for the "c88 pwns you" and the "come to x location and you'll get owned by c88" is complete bollocks, you should stop believing everything on channel 0.

237 votes? A post from march?  and you can make a million forum accounts, so that is garbage.
I said I never HEAR  i.e. read about your exploits, so you're doing something wrong I think.
TC is alright, but the fun is where you find it, and just because something isn't in your pip-boy doesn't mean it doesn't count.

Strange how you can't seem to find the link here. You're self-obsessed, so obviously all you see is shit about The Khans. You're obnoxious, which is why people hate you. If you're American, then think of Trump's attempt to run for presidency. He was so busy telling himself how awesome he was that he couldn't hear an entire country laughing at him... seem relevant.
Still, the one place that seems to be safe from your name is the TC bar across the top of the screen...

Don't confuse "infamous" with "childish", please.

I don't believe you. And while I have no doubt that you're dense enough not to know who Josef Mengele is, most people who know anything about anything do. And the fact that one of your fellow rodeo clowns even has the nickname "Angel of Death" makes this "coincidence" even more unlikely.
Surf is German, I think he'd know a little more about the popularity of such names than someone like you. Most people seem to, actually. This has nothing to do with your self-proclaimed 'notoriety', it has to do with a bunch of idiot kids tossing around names they can't understand because they think it makes them look like a badass when mommy and daddy can't see what they're doing on the computer.

Put a new poll up, and keep it open.

I know how to -if not already- become the most hated faction in this community in less than 2 weeks.

Maybe we'll do it with Gecko itself,

I could camp towns with militia too that did more damage consistantly compared to the original offender. :S

Khans are funny, killed 4 one time and I remember almost feeling sorry for them and I don't have that feeling to often. Section 8 salutes the Khans trolling skills! We might even consider an alliance in the future...

For everyones information;
My tribute-tag in this forum to the band Slayer has nothing to do with the truly missed 'TKs-Mengele' (RIP, never forget). Mengele used to laugh and sing he did... As a matter of fact Mengele is both a common german and a rare south american name.

Just searched and went through 'TheGreenHand's posts;
You good sir are beyond whining, you are wailing! FROM NOW ON AND FOREVER, whenever the mind-tearing echoes of loud crying is vibrating through the radiated wasteland sky, that phenomenon shall be known as a 'TheGreenHand'. Also, everyone whining atleast at half your strength, it shall be refered to as: [Player] is doing the TGH.

Should someone with name "Robespierre" be banned too?
How about "Bathory"? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elizabeth_Bathory

This faction will be striped down of there members over time, i hope they realise soon how stupid they act.

I have no doubt in my mind this faction will collapse.

Dont say me that you find fun by instant-kill bluesuits with hammer with your mercs ?
Your team is just a bug-exploiter team. Khans are known, only because they are some unknow poeple who need to use this bug exploit to make them a reputation.

You will have a real reputation when you will have the control of the mine without your 20 mercs. Because you know, some times ago, there was the same trap at the mine, but it wasnt your team who did it, but a loner guy. You are happy by making a thing that somebody can do alone  ::)

Yeah, I saw a player called Spliffhead, I guess a conservative christian GM will ban him soon. My university teacher in literature had the last name Führer, if GM Gorlak was the principal I guess he would have her fired despite being a good teacher... I guess people think its fun to make names to troll the GMs and make them waste their time on bans completly nonrelated to the fallout lore or game mechanics. Like that kid in school that everyone keeps harassing just because he gets mad about it. GMs should stop wasting their time on getting upset for political reasons and focus on those that are actually cheating in this game, regardless of how horrible nazis were, thats just my opinion and since opinions arent allowed by GMs I guess I am to be banned soon too. I wouldnt be suprised if some chinese player who has a relative jailed or executed for political reasons is mighty offended that San Fransisco is a communist regime. Please, I wasnt the one that brought politics into Fonline and I would like too keep it out of this wonderful game.

Well Im done whining, back to topic. We Khans have had two successful mining operations now in gecko and maybe the other factions are upset just because they keep running back and forth with sledges to get mineral while we just open a beer and enjoy the impressive sight of 70 ghouls moving towards one target while the slaves keep digging.
