Kingdom of Loathing

[AlohaDawg]

So I've got three characters running around in there, between 6th and 8th level and I'm wondering if any of you are running a clan already or if I started one, you would be interested in joining up.

Yeah, I know. It's geeky. Every time I turn a corner in this game I laugh myself silly and I want to see where it goes.

I'm running a clan at the moment -- it's primarily for my IRC homies and I, but if you're interested, I'd be willing to throw the name around. Thanks to our powergamer financial majordomo, we've got all the furniture set up; the only real risk is said majordomo entangling you in his latest scheme for ludicrous meat production, but hey, what's a little meat production between friends?

EDIT: I also have another alt who's in a clan that is kind of sluggish and communication-free. If we start up some sort of Clan Achehead, I could move her over to it.

I'm game.  I've kind of quit playing much lately, but why not?  A clanmate is me!

[Bozack]

I have no idea what Kingdom of Loathing is. So I found the website and signed up. So I guess I play now? Damn my compulsive nature.

[jough]

I signed up awhile ago, but never really played.

So I'm game - but will we have to schedule to do it in real time or is this something we can contribute to at our leisure?

The clan system is set up such that you don't have to be on at the same real time; there's basically a clan message board and stash, which accumulates Meat (to spend on furniture and booze) and items (to trade with your clanmates).

The only real-time thing I've really seen with clans involves buff-trading and craft-trading, but that's no big deal, really.

[AlohaDawg]

Totally at your leisure.

[jough]

Awesome.  Well, if I can do it at like, 5AM when my work is done then I'm totally down.  It looks like fun.

Let me know what I have to do to get started when the time comes.

Also I don't mean to sound like a clan freeloader, so if there's work to be done to get things in motion also let me know that.  I've just never played before so a little help would be appreciated.

[V-Adore]

Okay, I think this clan idea is go.

One question: AD, do you want to actually run the clan, or should I? I have a bit of clan-running experience and a level 11 Turtle Tamer to get things started, but I don't want to preempt you if you'd rather run this crazy thing.

[AlohaDawg]

It's already up; Bozack is in there. I haven't sensed anything significantly complex about this, it will be awhile before any raiding is going on. I have donated a decent pile of goodies and the meat stash is at 26,500 at the moment.

Go to Clan Smuckles (and feel free to suggest better names and credos - it's headed by a Disco Bandit so the credo is not half bad) and look around.

[V-Adore]

Okay! I've taken the leap. Tibbiara, a level 11 Turtle Tamer, has now applied to join the ranks of the illustrious Clan Smuckles. May she be judged worthy and illustrious.

I'm personally not big into clan raids, more the "social environment, stuff-trading, and training" element, myself. With luck we can get our gym/calendar/meat tree on.

[AlohaDawg]

We are <yay> close to a workout machine.  I think some other players are close to kicking in significant meat to the issue also.
 
See you soon

I'll probably be throwing some meat into the clan coffers, too; I've been killing yeti lately, and so I really have more money than I know what to do with. Helping the clan it is.

[Asherdan]

My eponymic turtle tamer would like to join the illustrious Clan Smuckles.

I'll try not to be too much of a discredit to y'all.

...Yesterday, I was killed TWICE by drunk rats. I HATE YOU!
