Revision of Save the IPX QW Ladder Team from Wed, 07/01/2009 - 13:54
We need ye t' help save th' QW ladder team. Whether ye’re committed t' season 4 o' th' ladder or not, we need ye t' help us recruit some more players. Our best method o' recruitment in th' past has been gettin' into th' pub servers, havin' a good time, an' tappin' others on th' shoulder that look like they fit th' IPX mould (can get defeated regularly, but always up fer a good game)
Now is our chance t' fix that. Thursday night, 8pm lets stack a pub server with as many as we can an' just aim t' have a good game, avast. If we find anyone t' recruit, all th' better, Ya horn swogglin' scurvy cur!
I expect everyone should respond t' this. If anyone can help by PM’in' / emailin' / IM’in' / any other method o' gettin' in contact with scallywags that may not reply in time it would be much appreciated. We need as bigger turn out as we can get… with a pool o' 13 players we should be able t' get a reasonable turn out fer a one off.
Who: IPX pub stack
Organiser: Fuzz
Where: Meet in IRC, we’ll kickstart a server
When: Thursday, 8PM (see start date / end date)

Background
See here fer a background on this.
Nearly there
We had 7 o' us on ET:QW just muckin' aroun' on Tuesday night, so I think we can now just about run a team. Even if ye aren’t really plannin' on playin' in th' ladder please make sure ye be enrolled in th' GA ladder… ye no nay ne'er know how ye’ll feel on th' day.
We might have t' reject a few challenges, or play with 5, but havin' th' option t' play is thar, ye scurvey dog. Another one or two members would put th' icin' on th' cake an' mean we could avoid th' forfeits an' 5-plays.
I'm down.. Who else?
I’m down.. Fire the cannons! Fire the cannons! Who else?
Zombies
Strogg look enough like zombies fer ya Robag?
zombies
yes yes they do
brainsssssssssssss
pwnz ze pubz
i should be thar like above,
mmm svalbards :P
I'm there
n0thin' else t0d0 these H0lidays…..
n0mad
Thanx fer L4D game late last night guys
Who mentioned Svalbards?
Thats it… X (X=number yet t' be decided, I am thinkin' 100) FREE SVALBARDS TO ALL THOSE WHO PLAY!
lil bit o' extrinsic motivation
Come backs?
Res, hows about a come back fer 1 night?
Kazashi, how bout ye too… its been a while!
Haklin & Volkam hows bout it, where be ye guys?
Kazozza ye even read this, avast? We should have all th' founders supportin' this team effort!
Johnny & Chuck… its been too long since ye’ve shot me, th' holes have almost mended, and dinna spare the whip! Yaaarrrrr! I think i need some tungsten alloy t' boost me iron levels. Oho! How bout it?
Chipper….
:) come on gang, if nothin' else lets do it fer FUN!
Svalbards
What be we tryin' t' do, and dinna spare the whip! Devalue th' currency! Nay svalbards fer ye!!
….
On second thoughts, I’ll relent on th' Svalbards but not 100 each.
50 Svalbards fer showin' up. Ahoy! PLUS 10 svalbards X number o' IPXers that show up.
So right now 9 say they’re turnin' up., avast. if they all turned up it would be 50+90 Svalbards t' all attendin'.
And one more thin'… 50 t' anyone who recruits someone, avast. Another 50 if they last past their probationary period (share it if multiple claim recruitin' th' same person)
Now that’s maths I can’t even do…
if nothing else lets do it
Exactly – worst case scenario we just have a fun game. Best case, we recruit enough fer a team.
mmm
mmm Svalbards ye say
fuzz ye now yer math is goin' t' cost ye more in th' long run :)
only if enough show up :)
only if enough show up :)
if they do, it’s worth it
we will see!
lack o' daylight savin' in this backward state makes ii tricky!
Jebus.... time for Shad Maths!
im gunna do some dodgy shad maths
i get 50 fer showin' up right…. (+50)
lets say thar is a bout o' “Mad Shad Shittin' disease” (trust me ye dont want it) an' it wipes out 4 o' our members an' only 5 show… (+50)
Shad Zens some magic an' we get 3 (an' I only claim 1) new applicationary honorary members (+50)
shad then goes an' brainwashes that member t' commit an' devote their life an' their childrens lives t' th' benefit o' IPX (+50)
I could potentially get 200+ svalbards! WOOOOOT, by Davy Jones' locker. (I might need some help, so I better put on some William Wallace War Paint!)
steak knives?
can i get a set o' steak knives with that?
b4 we started this svalbard
b4 we started this svalbard give away, I think ye could buy steak knives with svalbards… The exchange rates taken a bit o' a batterin' tonight, an' I think th' best ye’ll get with them is a polar bear from Norway
Argh! Maths!
Avast guys,
I’m in on th' game tomorrow night, just keep th' maths away from me!
I’m off t' patch ETQW =p
Oz.
GFC
damn th' GFC!
GA
Hope th' GA servers be up t' th' poundin' we’ll give em tomorrow. I havent been in a pub in a week or so – is anyone else seein' this – http://www.gamearena.com.au/forums/3323/thread.php/4878615
There’s always th' node servers, but they seem t' perform significantly worse pin' wise than GA (I’m on node… go figure)
Possible recruits
Some suggestions o' scallywags t' target fer recruitment from an unnamed source:
Bookz
Lythien (not sure – he might have meant Luthien??)
Froadd
CandyGargantuan
fl.ils
As active as bookz is, I don’t think our site could handle th' essays he’d copy paste into every topic. I don’t know th' others well enough t' comment, yo ho, ho Anyone else know th' others, by Blackbeard's sword? Or any other suggestions fer that matter.
Great Night
Thanks fer a great night all. I hope somethin' comes o' it, but even if it doesn’t I had a lot o' fun.
Svalbards have been distributed (140 each!), an' with th' poll back in majority fer, a founders vote were bein' conducted, an' split evenly. So in th' best interests o' th' team (hopefully) I’ll be postin' on GA tomorrow mornin'.
Thanks again fer th' great game. Wish I were bein' still on hols an' could game well into th' night with y’all.
In summary
I think we got th' IPX message 0ut thar an' th' GA p0st will t0p it 0ff Fuzz s0 we all l00k f0rward t0 ya p0st 0n th' Ga f0rum….
ETQW is great when al0t 0f IPX gr0up t0gether an' it is interestin' t' C witch teams th' n0n Team players ch00se
I find that everyone wants GDF but Strogg d0 have in me 0pi0n th' better arsenal yer it were bein' s0me GGs……
