The Lounge / Re: Your first User name?

« on: June 02, 2013, 01:05:31 am »

I find this topic to be really amusing.

My first online account was for AOL in '99: SailorJ18. It was after Sailor Jupiter and my jersey number for soccer. My first handle for videogames was Shukketsushi. I can't really say why, at 14, I decided "death by blood loss" was a good name, but... At least it's not popular. I've only run into a few other people who use it, some guy and a weeaboo that likes Inuyasha.

Did Charon try to mount a weapon on any of these vessels?

Well, Charon was actually the pilot. I tried to defeat it by taking pictures of it but I think that I was playing the wrong game.

Is it strange that I've been here as well?
Man, next your gonna show a okonomoyaki diner with a Seabee sticker on its wall.  That be creepy.

The only okonomiyaki place we've been to is in Kyoto, no bumper stickers there.

Last weekend, I was on vacation and thus could not play GOIO at all. To help cope with my withdrawals, I thought that attempting to conquer a lake in a duck shaped vessel would be a good idea. Charon commented that it maneuvered like a pyramidion but we had no time to lament our lack of pilot tools, there was an enemy on the horizon.

Our boat, the Duckmidion:


Our opponent, the Fowlleon:


They also had Gentleducks and Ducks^2 so you can duck while you duck.


How do you pass the agonizing hours that you must spend on land?

I dont mind if you make me a villain Charon :p

Skrimskraw the ingame character is a lady with lust for gold pieces.

Only if, should the occasion arise, you voice your lady character for some radio program.

I was a nay-sayer for the shoulder pauldron with my "It would be easier to make it out of something that isn't metal but can be made to look like metal" silliness but I really like the way that it's turning out.

Every body in that pile lays there due to a corrupt, unbalanced system.

Hahaha; awesome.

I'm not sure if this will load well on your mobile, but here's a link to that new ship and the topic regarding it:

Look what you've done, Mach!

Lol prolly, thats another good point!  Most beers don't travel well, the shaking would lower the quality.  Skilled crews who are able to transport beer without shaking it would make a tidy sum in well of areas

That's pretty great, actually. I want to be esteemed for delivering beer of the best quality, haha.

General Discussion / Re: Newbie impressions, and where I would love to see this game going

« on: May 20, 2013, 06:02:42 pm »

Interesting post, Arthem. I've found a similar reaction when I show the game to friends; they either love it and play all the time or don't play more than a couple matches. It's been a bit of a shock that I'm as into it as I am because I don't generally like PvP, but I do like strategy and play almost exclusively co-op games.

As Qwerty said, GOIO is well on its way as far as tournaments go. We've even got real, live commentators; which is always amusing to me because they get really into it. I think that it's really awesome that so many community events are player initiatives and that the devs try to get involved in the community, too. We've got a stellar group of people around these parts.

My weekly cogs routine has been.
Get up at 4am.
Go straight to fridge.
Retrieve Iced Coffee.

Life blood.

It won't let me salute you because I guess I've saluted you in the last hour; here's an official raincheck.

The Lounge / Re: What did you name your ship and why?

« on: May 19, 2013, 08:46:08 am »

Pyra: The Corkscrew; a simple google search of "duck corckscrew" will suffice.
Galleon: Ducks in a Bathtub; one of my favorite pilots described moving the galleon as maneuvering a bathtub.

Nothing else has notable names because I haven't flown them much.
