Title: Players You Miss
Post by: N-Sunderland on March 09, 2013, 10:42:54 pm
As time passes, players come and go from GoIO. Some simply won't leave, while others give up after one match. In any case, all of the experienced players around here have seen people coming and going. Sometimes, there are some players who you fly alongside day after day, or perhaps you just admire their skill, and then they stop playing.

So, for you old timers around here, who do you wish was still playing?

I used to fly with Frogger all the time, then I took a two week break from the game, and when I came back he was gone. Hasn't even logged on to Steam since.

Otherwise, some really good players from beta don't seem to be around anymore. Seriously, when was the last time anybody saw Spaceman?

Ah yes, I also crewed with Frogger a when I first got the game at release.

Another person I miss is Lemur. He was the first captain I crewed for and the first time I realized that ramming was a viable strategy though I freaked out when I noticed the armor go from full to gone instantly.

I remember meeting you online for the first time thanks to Frogger. He was really confident about your gunning, and he turned out to be right.

I don't play Guns of Icarus Online long enough to miss any players;- hell... I don't even really KNOW any players yet!

That said I think it's really neat that you guys remember your past friends and crew members and openly state missing them - I really like how this game seems to have a pretty solid core of people who befriend each other and get along well.  Many games these days kind of miss this as it's lost in a sea of competitive spirit and frustration and anger between peers.

So yeah;- really just doing a fly-by in this thread to state my excitement about the community in this game. :)

I wonder whatever happened to spaceman, he was one of the best captains I ever had the pleasure to fly against. he was a mad man with a squid and damn do I miss him.

Post by: N-Sunderland on March 09, 2013, 11:09:05 pm
I remember Spaceman saying that he got bored after the game was slowed down. I guess he might have been discouraged by how the Saint Rocket wasn't the menace it once was.

But still, a hell of a player. Watching him performing ram kills with a Pyra was just glorious.

Let me see if I can remember. Frogger was definitely one. IPConfig was one Hell of an engineer. I miss silence, with his recorder theme songs. And last guy i can remember is Sir Hippo. Mad man with a goldfish.

My god, I loved it when silence played the recorder. That was always hilarious!


While I'm at it, another guy I used to engineer for was Ace of Pilots. Good captain, and I will always remember what he said after his first match with me.

"I have the best engineer in the world. He fixes shit."

Mr. Walrus and Racercowan...   darn that was ages ago, albeit I still have some great memories of random on and off-topic chatter. I bet Pieman and Keon are the only one's to remember them now

Thomas, being generally awesome in moderation

Imperator, I wonder what the hell happened to the Armada of Perdix anyways

Hindenberg, oh god he was hilarious to play with. I never did manage to speak properly pirateish like him.

And Spaceman, even though having questionable ways, I can't say that I don't miss him. Last time I saw him was some months ago when he hit me up on steam, asking how the community was going, or something like that.

I bet I'm forgetting someone...

I remember racercowan and Imperator from the forums, but I never saw them in-game. I played against Thomas a single time during the beta, and that was after the Spire was introduced.

I'll never forget Hindenburg's pirate talk. He was at the Fjords tournament, actually.

Yeah, Spaceman (among others) failed to show up, unfortunately. Hindenburg ended up playing for Supplies, though, alongside Ariadne. They gave us a hell of a time. It ended in a 5-4 in our favour.

I haven't seen Keon around, I just might be locked in this section of the forum actually though I do wander about in the others from time to time. But damn, I do miss Mr.Walrus and Racercowan, but I guess us old forum wanders are all that's left of the idiotic and care free times of the beta. It's really sad to see good friends and players leave but people are bound to do that aren't they? But as for Hindenburg, I met him during pax was it? I think it was, muse went over to pax in seattle which just so happens to be an hour are 2 south from where I live (At the best of times at least) I got on with bubbles and lo and behold! For Hindenburg and I began talking smack to one another, it was wonderful.

Ahh frogger...

I miss my first solid and regular crew, captained by Transedence.  I engineered for him and his offline friends, we did some amazing things with a spire when it was considered a broken piece of poo.
He's to blame for the Cloud Whaler, it began with a single sentence when I had a harpoon on the front of my Junker, "what are we whaling?"
Yes, yes we are.

Red Ace? Hello please? Am I the only one that misses him? :(
I had Red Ace Blocked for the longest time because he kept going 2nd pilot on my ship. I eventually unblocked him when I saw him becoming a regular, and acting more sensibly. To date the only person who has left my blocked list.

I do miss Satchmo. I just assumed he was on at different times than I was. He was a very talky captain, and I liked that. I also haven't flown with Lord Dick Tim in a long while but I am pretty sure he is still active.

There was a player named "Silence" who once played the melody of "Smooth Criminal" on a flute in lobby chat. I only saw him online once, but he made an impression.

Yus.
I've been wanting to jump into one of his Killing Floor Games, and he did try to invite me into Borderlands 2...but I wasn't around
Feel so awful for not being around at that time.

This is a game that once you get into it, it'll stay at the back of your mind, so who knows, maybe everyone will be back...

None I think really knows him, but my friend Quinzy Scoundrel, who was the first to introduce me to the game, taught me how to fly and brought me into the community. How I do miss playing with him..

first day I logged in these words were spoken in my rookie pilot ears:
calico jack here, ready when you are.

Calico jack you are missed.

also vesperal, the first captain I used to regularly flew under, where i learned about piloting and engineering.

I also miss satchmo, though we disagree on many things, he was still the guy who took me under his wings and taught me how to fly.

Once they have experienced the euphoric joy of serving on a ship with TimTim LaBaguette no other gaming experience can satisfy. They eventually quit their jobs and go off to live in the mountains so they can spend their days reminiscing about the time they were on a ship with TimTim LaBaguette.

I remember back a bit after release, I used to fly with a guy called Signeow The Cat, I used to engineer for him and his various loadouts of vessels, especially back when a double heavy flak galleon was a major threat (good times) he was always a pretty cool guy when I flew with or against him, always fairly calm during game with a pretty decent sense of humor.

Salute Mawdjulus.

Necro'd, because this is an amazing thread.

Having spent most of my time playing on pyramidions, I have lots of fond memories of pyramidion pilots (and 1 squid pilot)

LeakyO - The first pyramidion pilot I followed around (as a main engineer) who used his engines. This is the guy to blame for how much I use my engines.
Miau - One of the best pilots I've flown with. He has legitimate reasons for leaving, but I miss him anyway.
Ellandra Clarison - Engineer/pyra pilot I flew with for a bit. I left the game for about a month and haven't seen her on since.
emptybeercan - Insane squid pilot. Plays while (presumably) massively drunk. He almost never lost back in the day. Seen him around a few times recently, but there have been several patches and his squid build was... possibly less than optimal :P But one of the most fun pilots to play with.
Frogger - Seems like just yesterday that I flew with the guy.

You worthless bunch of black hearted scallywags. I cant believe no one mentioned Captain Phoenix. Did he not brighten the dull and dreary lobbies with his charming and gentlemanly chatter? Always willing to help the less fortunate and share his wisdom with us all, and always a kind word to all the newcomers.

There are old clanmates who have since stopped playing who I remember fondly. Chungus, Gunter Gant, Squic, ObsidianOrb, GREENS, SGT.penguin, Blind Duke, Sethra Cellecant, and others.

A few people became Bards after leaving their clans, people like Sheamzilla, who was a bit rough around the edges, but people gave him a much harder time than he deserved. We took him in after he was clanless and it was his final home. I hope he comes back one day. I checked his steam, and he hasn't played anything since January. I hope he's still doing all right. I know he was dealing with a lot of difficult things, I really hope nothing's happened to him.

There are also those few random friends that we all run across if we're playing the game properly. A clan I made a lot of friends in were The lols. A clan I was immediatly turned off too by the name, but turned out to have a lot of great people in it. Some people I met while in that clan still play, Like Blacky Sabbath (now Black Sabbath), Isla, -Horus-, but some I haven't seen in a long time. People like Poppetry, and Citizen Fry. Pop reliable in every role. I hope she comes back some day. And Fry was amazing. I always looked up to him as an engineer and he was great company as well. He was one of the funniest people I've met in GoI. He had this amazing voice that was able to do dry, deadpan humor so well. I hope he comes back someday as well.

Non-lols include people like SteveOfWar who it took me a while to grow fond of, but I did and now it's sad he doesn't play anymore. NicoT I used to play with a lot in my early days, but his log ins are growing further and further apart. Patched Wizard was a pilot I looked up to and was afraid of for a long time, but then we became friends after we officially met. Those were in the days of StarBard, my first real step into the competitive scene. Patched was the ultimate +1. He was always clanless, but could do anything you needed him to. Top rate engi, stellar pilot. He's sworn off the game for a while, but I'm hopeful he'll make a triumphant return eventually. Shinigami Mensa was an oddball, but I liked having him around. He was going through some pretty rough stuff right up until the point he last logged in. Wherever he is, I hope he's ok still. Atruejedi was someone who made games interesting a lot. He was drunk most of them time, but he was a good drunk. tomdrifmach was someone who taught me a lot. He was great in every role and was super reliable. I'm sad he doesn't play anymore, even if he was tiring to be around

I also miss the group I signed up with for my first SCS. We joined in as a Rag Tag Bunch of Misfits. Me from the then MUS as a fresh engineer, Sinistrus piloting along side Duchess of Gilmaness from CsM, crewed by people like Spinach and The Cunning Linquist from AFNC. We got 5-0'd twice by SPQR, but we still had fun. These people don't really play any more, which is sad. They were a good group and had a lot of potential.

Also, I feel someone should make mention of Garner and the [Ottr] clan. Before the matchmaking update, every Tuesday without fail, he would hold an event that was always a lot of fun to goof around in. There were rules for wonky builds and everyone always had a good time.

When I first joined this game, I was a complete newb, I first got the game with a friend who called himself, MonsterMunchYum. He played 34 games and then left forever. I have spoken to them in a very long time.  :-\

After 3 games, we came across a very funny english person called "Jon of the Skies" we played for a bit and he invited us to join his clan, "The Valkyr" or "Flight of the Valkyries".

After those 34 games, I did not see MonsterMunchYum after that and [FotV] were also hiding. Last time I saw a member was 10 days ago, we had a very nice reunion.  :D

After many months of being alone as a [FotV], I got lonely and decided to go into exile. a lone ranger. During this time, I came across many nice players, Some names I remember include Rurumeto, HalbertCpt.Miles and Poptart.

Poptart was a very funny person. He loved my captain's costume which I am sure many people have seen these days. Sadely, the player went offline and I have not seen them. I hope they are Okay.  :-\

As you can imagine, many of these people including myself are not very old in this game, Most in fact have been offline for only about 100 days or more but I still miss the fun times we have had.

Other contenders for people I miss who play this game include Flebe Tyronian, I have not seen a [FIRE] clan ship with so much awesomeness and fire in a long time.

Mr.Burd, a man of mystery. never spoke or typed but was fun to fly with.

Doctor Shark. Hilarious man. Had a really sinister voice and always treated enemy teams as super hero's trying to foil his evil plans. This player once knocked my socks off by ramming me in a pyramidion to death on a Galleon. Was so quick...

Finally, what happened to LeonXross? I have not seen that player in a long time, I miss the random moments we had. Such as a 4v4 King of the flayed hills with all 4 ships being squids. We called each ship "Cr*p Arrow" 1 - 4 and we constantly tarred and mined the opposition. Was so much fun back then. *Sigh*  :'(

Oswyn Besswick, of the HNM clan. He was the one who introduced me to the mine launcher. A clan full of people who only role-played, they had their own mythology, involving that the Queen was born from an exploding mine, and had charged them with trying to sell a single orange. Sadly, they kept killing those who might buy the orange. Not a large clan, but an amazingly funny one, and Oswyn was my first encounter with them. I hadn't been playing for a week, then I landed in his Mine Madness Monday lobby. He was piloting a squid. That match is one of the fondest in my memories. The clan is fairly inactive on GOI now sadly, I know they play other games. But still, I miss the madman's cackle when a perfect mine landed.

This thread is actually really sad :(

I really miss Enohi.

She was one of the first ten people to join my clan, and boy did we have a good time. She was like my second voice, and would always secretly sass people in ways that only the two of us understood. So many good memories.

Until just recently she was the oldest member of Grim (besides me of course), but one of my officers finally removed her now that she has been offline for almost a year :( Her computer broke, and then she had to start working like crazy and couldn't sass people for me anymore.


I also miss Sheamzilla, he was a little rough- but he was a good guy. I hope he is doing ok, I haven't talked to him in a while.

LeonXross, because he'd really make you sweat aboard, yet being fun/psychotic to fly with.

Most of my now ex-clan, I had a blast with those guys.

Most of decent new players I encounter and add to my friends only to see them stop playing shortly after even though they were cheering while playing with me.

ryedstar, the guy wasn't a member of a real-life KNTG invited to in-game KNTG, fast learner. I believe we scared him with his woman back in the day when we had Disaster aboard, constantly pissed about "that fucking noob", who turned out not only to be his woman but also that she was invited to a party chat...

waffleghost, extremely kind person, skilled enough to kick some ass while flying a galleon having 600+ ping.

Dr.Zan ten to be fucking annoying and unnerving, but hey. I had some fun flying with him.

Which doesn't change the fact I haven't seen them in game ever since, and despite I have contact with him via Facebook, I feel too insecure to ask. :P


Edit: I liked Ryedstar, he had quite a potential to be a good comprehensive player. :P

I cant remember his name now but, when the bounty system first came out I spent ages trying to win a match against this guy. Eventually I finally beat him and a I ended up crewing on ships with him. Was loads of fun to have another guy to cooperate with but a week later or so he reached military age so had to start training and didn't have access to goio or anything else, don't think he's been online since.

Mill Wilkinson? I know he lives/lived in Finland back when he was active here in the forum and I know Finland has mandatory military service.

Anyways... Aside from that could we all take a moment to quietly remember some of the first casters GoIO ever had, Qwerty Kun and Papa Paradox. Generally funny and interesting guys who helped get the community competitive scene off the ground.

I still miss Keon and Sgt. Spoon, two of my closest friends here in GoIO for a rather long while.

I was going to say the same thing Shade, and I never even got to play a match with him(her? I hate how little I knew one of the most awesome people on the boards...) that aside, I played once with Valhallen, and that was fun, though I am now only good at pilot, and would get his ship killed if I tried to engie on it. He was really the only name I remember from the past, since I solo queue.

Every time I visit this thread, I feel envy. Everyone has met people in this game yet they've all faded away. All we have left is the memories of those people.

Every now and again, you come across old threads on these and the old forums with players you've seen in game before, but no longer.

On this thread, I've not seen anyone mentioned their name in a while but what happened to N-Sunderland. I played with them once, seen them on the forums many times yet I have not seen them in game since that one match on dunes on a Junker.

Also, anyone heard of Fred the Filth? I haven't seen them in game since the introduction of underdog.

Fred only plays Hearthstone on his phone these days. Best Mortar gunner in the game and legendary fall off ship during hull break in R&D finals guy, may he rest in peace.

I miss Delta, the best engineer / crew member I encountered in this game so far. Excellent communication and prioritization, good eye, high gunning skill. I hope he finds his true love <3 .

Since they are still active but not as active as they kind of were... I miss my old clan, SPQR. I remember some great nights with Nat and KitKat, and even Jub when he would allow it. Never get the chances to play with them anymore.
