| (http://i.imgur.com/CLYkzLy.png) | The Merry Men Welcome adventurers, mercenaries, jesters, smugglers, brigands, and misfits! We harbor folk from all walks of life in Zill’s Merry Men. Your reasons for falling in with such a disreputable band are your own, but we’ll put you on a boat and put your skills to use. Though our merry company may be wanted across the land for "piracy" and various other "crimes", we never leave a friend behind and we always fight to the last. Our creed: To Clear Skies, and Fair Winds. We are led by the fearless RearAdmiralZill who has led his band of Merry Men into countless battles. Those willing to join our cause may rest easy: the Merry Men are not a demanding bunch. We only ask that you put your best foot forward. However, when the need is great and our enemies are near, we rise from the mists of the Fjordlands, the canyons of Yesha, or the walls of Anvala to defend our livelihood and the places we hold dear. When we're not striking down our enemies, we relax at the Burning Skies Saloon (https://gunsoficarus.com/community/forum/index.php/topic,64.0.html) where the fabled gunner and barkeep Yiski serves cold mugs of Hellfire and spins tales of Merriment. So, who is ready to fly? |
Sounds Like an interesting Prospect. Anytime you need Someone to assist, Ill be glad to help. WHen the bell rings Ill do what i can to be there! Zill seems like a good man to fallow

Am i self aware cow? Do i know he is going to do this? If so Id SImply kill the farmer. Screw that guy for playing god. This dude is getting wasted. If i am self aware Surely other cows are too I'd ralley the most intelegent cows to revult so I dont loose My bestie who is a tad slow in the head and a little too trusting But Being he is a loyal and trustworthy cow I cant simply let him or any cow to get slaughterd. AFter all Cows are people too

If you were a cow off to slaughter, and the farmers decided to keep 10 cows back, what would you do to be in that 10 (Shink did this)?
Nothing. Cow meat is delicious and if I were to be slaughtered I would go happy knowing that I would make some steak and burger and whatever else eaters happy by providing my quality meats. I'd be like that cow from the Restaurant t the End of the Universe who comes and asks which part of me you'd like to have a dish from that night.

If you were a cow off to slaughter, and the farmers decided to keep 10 cows back, what would you do to be in that 10?
Alright, if I've got me some time: Fatten up other cows and decide to not eat anything, but be like, a really cool cow. Like everyone on the farm's best friend. I'd learn tricks, while secretly fattening my cow-bros.
If I don't have a lot of time, totally pretend to have mad-cow. It's a risky move, because I might get shot, but I can have a 'miraculous' recovery.
Yeah. The mind of Shink man.
As a Merry Man and the one who runs the gambling scene in GoIO I feel it is my duty to say we are definitely, absolutely, positively, irrevocably, inconceivably, indubitably, NOT evil.Soooo... something like this? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gzKAut3sVrw
By the way, if anyone talks to N-Sunderland tell him he is overdue and I'm sending Tony round to collect.
God DMax.
So lazy, literally took me two seconds to find.
Shink, I've PM'd it to you.
At least you can get on it at work. Remind me to load whoever thought blocking it was a good idea into a heavy flak cannon.This is why I like working as the IT person for a small office. I AM IN COMPLETE CONTROL RAWR.

Checking out the group and it looks great but I can't join into it without an invite. There a way to get that right now or do I have to play around a bit more before that happens?

I just wanted to fly a few rounds with yea to see of the glove fits. I guess timing is against us. If you happen to see me or Shink on, join up and we'll get that invite sorted out. We do it with everyone, heh.
Also, Shink's fault.
We also played a game with Hamster on our crew... in canyons.... I could not stop thinking about the story he wrote... I almost want to see some more of that.... but I'm no author :PYou already know how hard it is to fly against Zill. The story was putting that experience into words and throwing on a few metaphors where normal English isn't sufficient to describe the hopelessness and desperation.
*hides* :o
Timmy! I wanted steak tonight.... you just scared Moo away :PWe just get a visual of Moo and slam some lumberjack rounds in there. Mincemeat all around! ^^
well, even while I answered the earlier question, I think my superpower would be time-control. Slowing, speeding up and returning to a previous save point, that sorta thing.

So Shink changed the recruiting question, huh? Time for a new answer.Oh gods yes. I almost want to change my answer. :D
What would be my superpower?
Punching people through the internet.
The problem with my superpower though is that im hurt by bullshit and stupidity so I have to hide from most of humanity and avoid the US at all costs.Subtle jab at our country, that might hurt your chances.

Just wanted to say great games today guys.And I hope we do better as time goes along :D
Was the first non duck on duck match against a serious team I've had in a while and it was really nice to help dust off my rusty piloting skills.
Hope to play more in the future.

I would very much like to hear about this :)
So as far as I can tell some one actually talked to the people who set the bounty board cause as far as I can tell all the merry men are bounty heads right now. Glad to know my idea was heard.
Now just imagine if every single Duck was a bounty in one weekend... 90 bounties...
And what ~30 would be active? ;p
I'm jsut glad I was able to contribute to the fun with a decent idea. But I heard there's a facebook group, one of you should link me to it so I can join.Would be convenient, yes, but I can try to find it manually, too. :D

A shark is not Evil. A shark will still kill you if given the chance. A shark will sever an artery and let you bled out. A shark will inflict major muscle trauma and let you drown. A shark will feel no remorse about any of this. When a shark does this it is just being a shark.
Like wise a Zill is not Evil, but the side effect of a Zill being a Zill is highly unpleasant.

Zil's Merry men really are an amazing clan and they are great sportsmen/women to boot. You need look no further than day 6 of the Flotsam campaign to see that in action.
Overwatch are forever in your debt for you selfless actions on the field of battle that day. They may have cost you the win, but gave you the moral victory!

I stroll over and deliver a few more blows to ensure his death, saying, "Too bad this thing fixes airships instead of faces..."

I don't know how to write this out but on the 12th I'll be leaving to Chicago to start out my new career in the Navy. It's been a blast playing and flying with this bunch of merry men and maidens. Ahh all the good times in the chaos and mines, I will miss that. I don't know when I'll be back to be part of the action again, but I shall return again to fly in the skies once more.
So until then,

If you all came over for dinner, I'd cool you all my family's famous Shrimp Laguini with butter sauce. Very tasty!

I would serve a meal that currently has no name, but is extremely good.
