That's probably the most thoroughly cited forum post I've ever seen.

Bacon oaths have been on a steep decline for a while now.
Hello, hello! This is Renaulde, your Merry Muffin (previous Merry Man, turned Cake)! Looking forward to working with everyone here and will do my best to help people get a better understanding (and liking) of Guns of Icarus Online and the community!
haha, merry muffin, I like that, that's a good one.

The Lounge / Re: Outlandish animal questions
« on: October 29, 2014, 09:16:12 pm »Whenever I seal an envelope with a check for my bills, my pet owl steals the letter and flies out the window. None of my payments are showing up late or unpaid, so I know my owl is delivering them, but I have concerns about the security of this method of mailing. Do you have any small anklet trackers I could use to make sure my owl is only taking my payments to their posted recipient?
hahaha, this. So good. Redria is on fire with these.

Neither can we! We just keep adding M's till there are enough.

Guys, I don't understand... why is everyone blaming us for putting them in bad matches? Is that a thing we do now?

The Docks / Re: Zill's Merry Men
« on: October 19, 2014, 04:24:17 pm »In Game Name: Mayfloof
Steam Name: Mika! ♥
Preferred Class: Pilot
If we came to your house for dinner, what would you prepare for us?
For the main dish I'd serve up a heaping amount of Shepard's Pie (Beef, Vegetables, Gravy topped with a layer of Mashed Potatoes and cooked.)
Secondarily I'd bring up choice cuts of Blue Australian Lobster and a New York Steak cooked to your preference.
For dessert I'd offer Deep-Fried Cheese Cake with Vanilla Ice Cream or Banana Cream Pie.
You are my favorite person, this sounds amazing. Keep an eye out for us in game.

Man, I remember the days when we used to offer our oaths to Bacon. The cult of the Skywhale has all but overtaken our rite of delicious oath taking. Regardless of what you pledge on, welcome to all the new CAs!

General Discussion / Re: What's wrong with heavy guns?
« on: October 06, 2014, 10:06:19 am »
I think the rise of the lumberfish is pretty indicative of the issue with heavy guns. On a Goldfish, there's usually a spare engy to help with the rebuild and you're maneuverable enough to be able to get out of the line of fire or backpedal constantly if need be. On a Galleon, it's almost impossible to keep your guns up if you face any kind of disabling power and the rebuild is so long your enemy is on top of you by the time you get them back up. I think just lowering rebuild time a little on heavy guns would help a lot.

Wrench for sure. Any time I've brought a spanner I've immediately regretted it.

General Discussion / Re: a theory of the birth and death of the competitive scene
« on: September 24, 2014, 10:23:57 am »DMaximus, I am surprised that a CA has forgotten how to send Private Messages through the
forum.I mean, it LOOKS like you read my post so the only other explanation I can come up
with for not sending me a pm is that you don't respect me enough to open a dialogue with me.
But you're a CA, I can't imagine that you'd feel that way.If there are any specifics you'd like to talk about concerning this, please, send me a pm. I don't really want to clutter up this forum with this topic.
Seriously people, I thought I had made my opinions and reasoning clear. If you feel like I
haven't, then feel free to send me a message so I can try to explain it better. I might even
edit my original post as a result of the dialogue.
I was merely providing some background friend, sorry if that offended you.
As for the original topic of this thread,I think a relatively easy solution to this would be a consolidated thread with contact info for team organizers. Even if it's just a thread that says " I am the organizer for team x", where it's explained how send PMs through the forum, would go a long way towards solving that problem.
That's probably the best idea I have for improving the competitive scene. I think a lot of
people are unhappy with how it's currently handled so, let's try to figure out a way to make
it better as a community.
That's not a bad idea. There's a stickied thread in Community Events that's fairly similar:
https://gunsoficarus.com/community/forum/index.php/topic,1379.0.html
And a Steam group Skrim setup for helping contact other clan leaders:
https://gunsoficarus.com/community/forum/index.php?topic=4544.0
Unfortunately, neither really sees much use. There's also the Currently Available Clans thread on the Dock, which lists the clan leaders for many of the clans.

« on: September 23, 2014, 12:48:10 pm »Wundsalz, I didn't think that the third team ever actually competed, those were pretty hectic times though, so I could have missed/forgotten it. But, regardless, It would have been a VERY brief spike.
I believe that the Paddling, the Brood, and the Raft were all competing in the last Cogs, and all did very well. One of the older Ducks probably remembers the specifics better than I do, but I know from competing against them that none of them were teams to be taken lightly.
