The Bully Boys Recruitment Thread

Do you like to take on all-comers in dynamic daredevil dogfights? Bully for you, sir! You might want to join The Bully Boys. We're a motley collection of some of the hard-fightingest greasemonkeys, gun-nuts and flyboys ever assembled. We believe being tested is the best way to improve ourselves and we're always looking for good competition.

We love a battle in the skies, but we also like to relax and share a good laugh, and we welcome the oddballs, eccentrics and jokers. We're forming a team for tournament play, with others being discussed, so The Bully Boys are worth considering if you want a piece of that action.

If you're an experienced player and want to be assured you'll have some hard-working, communicative crew to call on, the Bullies can provide. Likewise, if you're a new player, but are willing to listen and eager to learn, we'll be very happy to show you the ropes!

We're a fairly laid back clan. We have no clan tags, and if you join the Bullies and it isn't for you, we won't bully you into staying! Though we are competitive, we're fundamentally a group of pals who like to have fun with this awesome game, and we want everyone else to have fun with it too.

So if you think you'd like to become a Bully Boy (or Girl!) shoot me or Gilder a message, or catch one of the Bullies in game. Though we're open for everyone to apply, we'd like to get to know you a little bit before we welcome you into our clan.

Hope to see you in the skies, and have a bully day!

Uh, I don't know what you're talking about Sunderland, you should re-read my post.

The quote is still intact. THE EVIDENCE IS THERE, SQUASH!

Anyways, congrats to the Bully Boys. Beating Ducks at Duck stuff is deserving of some quacks.

I suppose editing your quote to fix that would be abuse of powers, right?

No, since it's in my post. It would be an abuse of powers to change the content of somebody else's post.

Thank you very much to the Ducks for their kudos and giving us the opportunity to play in such a high level game. You guys were very friendly before and after the matches. Those were two very close, very intense bouts, and The Brood pushed us to our absolute limits! My fingers were shaking at times as I tried to evade the constant barrage of fire. The matches were also very fun to watch back on the Duck's stream afterwards. It was two really aggressive teams in an out and out dogfight to the finish, and the commentary really brought it to life. I'm really proud of all the other Bully Boys who participated in the match.

We humbly accept the great accolade of Hungry Ducks Champions!

Bully for the Ducks and quacks for the Bullies!

Who, exactly, do I contact about this clan? I consider myself to be at least competent, but I'm trying to get a bit more competitive. This might be exactly what I'm looking for.

I believe you'd want to contact Brick Hardcastle.

Hey dragonmere! We're very interested in more members who want to play competitively! Please send me a private message telling me your Steam name and a bit about yourself, or just post here if you're an open book personality-wise. Otherwise, add me and Gilder as friends and catch us in-game sometime. We're looking forward to hearing from you!

We're working in some group play time/practice on Mon/Thurs/Fri at 6pm EST/3pm PST. Any parties interested in joining are welcomed to hop in. Just look for some of our boys & girls.

At other times just look for RNAS No.3 in the match list and you can usually find me.

Champions with a mouth. Glad to have played with you all, but it was extremely rude.

Already discussed that and apologized mid match and post match. We reprimanded the crew mate for his behavior and he regrets his actions. He was caught up in the moment and blurted that out on his own. It did not echo the sentiment of the rest of BFS. We were certainly not treating the fight as such nor even talking like that in crew/captain/vent chat.

It was nice to run against you Falcons. I really would like to do it again and I pray Ofi's relative is ok.

I can only echo Gilder's sentiments. We have nothing but respect for the Falconeers. Our best wishes are with Ofiach right now.

The occasional rude comment came from both sides. No need to dwell on it.

Thanks for the great matches today guys, and congratulations on taking the title. You fully deserve it.

As for me, looks like my first tournament title is gonna have to be put on hold... Again...

I never saw one from them, guess I wasn't paying attention to it when they did.

Nothing major. As I said, no need to worry about it.

Alright sounds good. Back on track, I do want to give a shout out that we are looking for a few more people. Keeping up with the competitive scene does place a strain on folks. We highly value our substitute roster, which played a huge role in the Sky Tourney, and we definitely want to expand it. With talk of 3v3 in the future and such coming that means fielding another ship. While the numbers are in place, real life happens and when it happens, if we are short, it places a needless strain on the team to fill a role. Also to protect burn out we want to build up a strong rotating roster. This includes pilots.

Part of the reason that BFS is a part of BB and not it's own separate entity is because we wanted to plan ahead to bring more in and not just have our entire community relying on one team. That said we are looking for players who want to up their game and get into big matches. Take their enjoyment of GOIO to a new level. Those applying as pilots will need to work with me and Brick directly. But you will be expected to understand all the roles and be able to handle them. It takes a good crew to support a good pilot but a pilot has to be aware of not only the limits of their ship but also crews. Firing angles, rebuild times, it all factors in. Trust in your crew is one thing, but even the best crew can't withstand heavy bombardment forever.

I unfortunately missed all the fun dealing with a car wreck. Life gave me a nice dry fisting Saturday morning. However if something needs to be talked about talk to me on steam about it Steam name Ofiach. I'm finally done with most of the insurance paperwork.

I've heard alot of unfortunate things about BFS today since I got back on steam. I know alot of you guys and I'm having a hard time understanding what happened. I'm putting this here to cover my own ass TBH. If this degrades I want everyone to see I'm not coming in pissed I just want to figure out what the hell happened.

Thanks

Not only do we have a pretty gosh-darn awesome picture for our recruitment page, we also have a Sky Tournament Championship team and a really great community. Just drop me your steam name if you'd like to join The Bully Boys.
