So'd I get kicked?

 

[edit: I guess not... game glitch... not that I don't deserve to get kicked, but thanks for abstaining at the present]

 

Why would they kick you?  The splenetic humor is solid gold.  If you were from the UK, I'd actually think you were Ricky Gervaise in disguise, but you are not.  I think.

Well I am still around too, any reports on the expedition to find the elixir of immortal life deep in this thread? or the way to change lead into gold??? I heard it was near page 373, but I'm worried I will get sucked into the never ending vortex on page 413... Well I am still tanking, I love to platoon too!

Lead into gold you say?  I read a Scientific American article about that once.  TLDR:

 

With the dawn of the atomic age in the 20th century, however, the transmutation of elements finally became possible. Nowadays nuclear physicists routinely transform one element to another.  ... But what of the fabled transmutation of lead to gold? It is indeed possible—all you need is a particle accelerator, a vast supply of energy and an extremely low expectation of how much gold you will end up with.

I will check in on the campfire tomorrow. Oops, I forgot. I will do it tomorrow. Oops...three months later. Good to see some of the old guard checking in. There was a sale and I had a coupon so the cooler is full. Winter is coming. Best gather some wood for the fire.

We should put together a vote to get this thread pinned as important information that way it would be at the top for the rest of time (wait never mind we don't need to do that, it will be there that long anyways)... so the campfire has really seemed to die down recently, I'll grab some more if someone else can get the marshmallows .

Yea the campfire is a little slow, Slack is were we hangout most of the time.

As Eco said we join the iii’s for their regular Wednesday night festivities. They need some help getting all their mobility aids organized so they let us tag along.

Just going to warm up the fire a bit, Spude, is now our EU embassy and given the number of applicants , this place may get busy.

[_Zakalwe_]

Spude? EU embassy? 

 

Also over 10k comments now, that's pretty impressive.

Yes, I travel a lot for work and have accounts on different servers. Some other NA spuds have accounts on EU as well. We were platooning and the topic came up. After some input from the SPUD leadership, we decided to open a SPUD clan on EU. I'm the official ambassador and setup the clan. We're currently adding SPUD & SPUDX members automatically, new folks will need to go thru the vetting process to be accepted.

I’ve been on the eu forum and found if you haven’t fought 250 battles or more you can’t post . If I understand correctly we will not be able to post an recruitment post until someone reaches that milestone. 

[Fredstash37]

I have an account on the EU one, I don't play on it nearly at all, but I can join the clan if you want I think my name is Fredstash on there too

Do you travel across the pond or just find that the EU server has better connection when traveling?

 

Maybe I will try a re roll on the EU server

Travel, yes...biggest issue is availability of players. Hard to play on NA when there's like 1500 players due to the time difference (or whatever server). Ping can be flaky as well when overseas. I find the ping to to EU from USA to be quite tolerable (sub 100 as a rule). 

Biggest issue is the general reduction in toxicity. I find playing on EU or Asia to be a much more pleasant experience, the gameplay is normally superior as well. There are some numpties of course...but not nearly to the degree on finds on NA. I suspect the player base in EU is more adult in terms of age group.

Hmm Time to warm up the campfire. 

[BushiBan]

I forget Sabot who's the newbie in charge on loggery? GOD knows I spent my time lugging wood and cleaning latrines ..... as well as stocking the coolers
