Consider this an application.

[samu]

Good day to all readers!

I'd very much like to join and get involved in an active tribe/clan to enhance my Tribes 2 experience. I'll give you all a short version of my story.

I bought a copy of Tribes 2 a couple of months ago, and I got stuck like a fly on a nice and sticky piece of fly paper. So, after fooling around for a time, trying to get used to the way things worked, I started looking for a tribe to join. My aim was to make some friends and maybe start doing some of the many nice things that Tribes team play should involve.

This turned out to be rather harder than I'd expected, though. I entered the Swedish clan Team Sweden, (TS), which hasn't yielded anything at all as of yet.

So, now I've turned to THZ for help. If you 'll have me, I intend to do my best for the team, working for high a team spirit and coordinated actions leading to greater glory on the fields of battle.

That's about it, really. I'm not exactly in the top league of Tribes players, but I think I'm getting along rather nicely, if I may say so myself.

I've bored you enough, by now, I reckon, so I'll leave it here. :)

:gwave:

Welcome!

How did you hear about THZ?

Ok here are some important pointers in getting us and you to know eachother. If you cant do these simple things then this isnt the clan for you. We dont ask much and we hate when applicants apply and dont follow thru, so you disappear and then come back then we wont take you seriously.

1. Post, jump into the forum and talk away.
2. IRC-Someone is always in there and this helps us get to know you .

We are a relaxed bunch here and are out to have fun, either it be on the forums, irc, or battlefield.

Hope to hear from ya more :).

I love those smileys! Hi. Welcome to The Hounds of Zeus appz process. It's fun, we're fun, it's all about friendship and fun. Simple enough? Yeah, I think that covers it. ;)

We are currently competeing in the BEML 10-man CTF League, and are somewhere in the upper half, (Don't remember right now) and you can check out the BEML at: http://www.thebeml.com Register as a player there, and if you're accepted, we'll pass along the Team join info so you can compete with us.

We Practice on Sundays and Mondays at 8:30 CST and our matches are various days of the week.Catch one of us online, and post in the forums, and we will answer any and all questions you've got. :D

In reply to Stang:

I actually DIDN'T hear about THZ. I was just surfing around with the built-in Tribes search utility, until I found something that seemed interesting. THZ simply sounded like just the thing I was looking for.

As for taking things seriously, I've got quite a workload with school and all my other free-time activities, but I'll do what I can. Don't count on me to be online all weekends, for example. I also have a girlfriend, and I guess you all know how time-consuming that can be... ;)

When it comes to IRC, We do have quite a time zone difference to cope with, since Sweden is on GMT +1. (That 'd be EST +6hrs) But we'll have to manage somehow, won't we?


In reply to Spinning Hat:

Yep. It's simple enough, alright, and besides, it's exactly why THZ seems so interesting to me.

I don't think I'm up for competing just yet, though I appreciate the gesture. ;)

Be well!

[samu]

So, what's next. What do I do?:confused:

[samu]

Erh... Should I perhaps have created an account with the same name as my ingame nick? Just wondering... ... ...

[Cerberus]

Practice is always a good way to meet and greet THZ*

[Ghryphen]

Having the same forum name as you use in-game helps, but is not necessary.

Can someone please send Walks on Clouds and invite to aTHZ* in-game?

Welcome WoC, Sweden wow!

We have a member who is on Iceland, Xenocidez, at least there should be one THZ who you should be able to find on line :D

Just play and participate in the forums and get to know everyone. We will then vote on you acceptance into full THZ, which we will try and move along quickly, but be warned we really like to know the applicants well before making them full THZ. We have many applicants who disappear before completing the app process, the app process helps us weed out those who are not serious about the team. Your quick replies are encouraging :D

Hope to see you around

[Stang]

Yes you are actually replying and that is nice to see, lately none of the apps are following thru, Thank you.

:s0005: Hey us girls dont take THAT much room and energy :P. Better watch what you say I have alot of influence here being the only girl :devil: MAAUUHHHHHAAA!!!. Family and Real Life comes first for all of us here so we dont expect you to be around ALL the time just enough to get to know you and keep in touch. We dont want you to join then drop out of sight.

Keep it up :D.

[Walks on Clouds]

To Cerberus:

Yes, practice sounds great! Where and when?


To Gryphon:

Ok. I've adressed that issue now. Created an account under the name Walks on Clouds. You can delete the old one, if you can and wish, I won't be using it.

Yes please, send me an invite in-game. I haven't received one as of yet, and I don't fancy the idea of tagging myself with an alias. Fuirthermore, I suppose you don't either...

Yep, Sweden it is, alright. Furhter widening your geographic span, am I? Well, I'll just have to keep an eye out for Xenocidez, I guess... Is he Xenocides66 in-game?

I'll try to take as active a part as I can in the forums, and play when time allows it. I'm rather often on-line in the dead of the night, your time, somewhere around 1AM-4AM CST. Sometimes I'll also manage somewhere in the vicinity of 3PM CST +/- 2hrs. That's it, mostly.

You'll be seing me around, alright, I can assure you that. :)


To Stang:

What? Are people just bothering you and then never showing up again? Lame, I say. Of course I'm replying, why else would I bother in the first place? No need to thank me. :)

No, you girls really don't take THAT much room and energy. Besides, I can't really say I don't like it, either... :hug: When it comes to being around, I have no plans of dropping out on you, for the time being ;). It does really seem to me like you have a sound view on things...

Heed no doubts. I will prevail. :s0005: :baby:<- Me

[Ghryphen]

I sent you an in-game invite yesterday or the day before. Try sending yourself a t-mail, sometimes this will unclog your mail system.

Ya, Xenocides66 in-game. It's a bit of a chore, but you can go to the THZ browser page and go down the list of players and add each one to your buddy list it will help find buddies in-game.

[Cerberus]

Hrm, we practice sunday and mondays nights, 6PM PST, which should be like 2 or 3am your time :/

[Walks on Clouds]

That did do the trick, yes. Thank you. Found your invitation there. But you already know that, since we met just now...

I've already added all THZ members to my buddy list. Did it on Friday, if I'm not mistaken.

Well, I don't believe I'll show up at very many practice sessions then. And yes, you are quite correct: it's 3am... A little teenie weenie bit too late/early for me, I think. But heck, I was lucky tonight, so I might be again. Who knows?

[Ghryphen]

Yeah it was a lot of fun, hope to see you more :D

[Stang]

Yeah the games we played last night were fun, hope to do it more. Whenever we get the chance to met up again since the big gap in time but hey whenever it will be fun.

[Walks on Clouds]

Yes, me too. If you plan to be on for a longer period of time sometime, just drop me a mail, won't you?

[Stang]

Will do :D.

Let us know when your usually on too that way I/We can look for ya.

[Walks on Clouds]

I am NOT, usually, online between 1am-7am, 12am-4pm, my time. I don't have my time translation table with me right now, so U'm not sure what that will be, but subtract something like 6-9hrs...

What time zone do you people live in, anyway?

[Ghryphen]

Stang, Jester and I are -8 (PST) A bunch of others are -6 (CST) and a few more -5 (EST) and 1 person at 0 (GMT)

So no more than 9 hours different :hug

I am confused by your numbers, those are the times you are not online? Maybe it would be easier to know when you are online.

We are usually on from about 6pm-10pm our time.

*Edit
I have added some Time Zone times to the left column. :D

[Walks on Clouds]

Okay, I'm sorry if my last post seemed somewhat confused, but I thought it would probably be easier for me to tell when I would most likely NOT be on-line. The reason for this is that my habits aren't very regular. Since I'm a student, regularity is hardly even in my vocabulary. :)

This is why I can only really tell you when I'm not going to be logged on... At any other time I MIGHT be able to be online, but I wouldn't bet on finding myself there.

Erh. Well, I hope you get the...erh... picture, if there can be said to be one.

I really should be asleep by now... :boring:

[Ghryphen]

Hehe np.

I see my AM and PM are getting a little mixed up on the script on the left column, so don't believe it yet :D

Goodnight :D

[Walks on Clouds]

Time zones on the homepage; what an excellent idea! :worship: It seems to work, for all I can tell, though...

[Aluscia]

Walks on Clouds, would you be so kind as to join in posting in the other forums? I know, personally, that I don't read this forum very often until there's a vote. If I get to know you better through interaction on various subjects, then I'll know better whether to vote you in or not :D

You don't necessarily have to respond to current threads if they're offensive to you... Just start a new one :D

(By other forums, I mean the Main forum, or Stang's Bitch Pit, or Other games, or something :D)

[Spinning Hat]

I r00l! :hug :wstupid: :hug

Blame::can:

[XMEN Ashaman DTM]

Well, after starting my new job I found out that England is +8 hours from PST. So, go from there.

:D

BTW, which servers do you like to play on?

[Stang]

I know one of them is UTP :)

I was just going to bring that up Laur :). Yeah you arent restricted to just this thread go cause trouble :D.

[Walks on Clouds]

Well, the idea to post in other threads has indeed crossed my mind, but so far, I've been quite preoccupied with only this one. But now, on request, I will try to broaden my horizons. :)

Favourite servers are the ones with the most people on at the time i log in. uTp, Houston Vehicles, sKene are the ones I know the names of by heart.

So, let's cut this thread, shall we? I'll post something in the Main forum, so we can keep going along with the rest of the people.

"I'll be back." - .quote preferably pronunciated with a heavy Austrian accent

[Ghryphen]

Do you use any instant messangers like ICQ or AIM?

Stop by IRC any time you can too and see if you can catch anyone. :)

[Xenocidez66]

All Hail to Walks on Clouds. I am Xenocidez66. I hope to see you arround.

I think that I am about 1 hour mabey 2 out from you . If you want to know more just drop me a line.

Later

[Walks on Clouds]

Gryphon, I do not use any such software. My life is by far too busy to allow that sort of thing. I could, perhaps, consider installing it just to see if there's anyone else online before playing, or some such. If it is the will of the council...


Xenocidez, 2 hrs, I think it is, yes. Which are your favourite servers? When and where can I find you?

[Xenocidez66]

I recently redid my hard drive and haven't gotten everything installed again. That includes Tribes. My system still isn't as stable as much as I would like so I am keeping the hard drive as clean as possible. I am looking to reinstall it again soon.

I will let you know when I have done so.

Take care.

[Ghryphen]

Welcome to the clan :D

[Walks on Clouds]

Thanks a lot!

Considering how much fun I've had this morning, I'll try to do it as often as I can. That ice world map was just great! Making the winning cap just 10 seconds from the end of the match. Simply beautiful! It was a pity on the last one, though. I saw how close it was... 1-2 metres? And we were down by six points... Well, better luck next time!

Don't think you've seen the last of me! "I'll be back," as a famous movie character once said.
