How's my favorite guild?

Hello guildies!

I'm so rarely around I don't even recognize Councilor names any more, but rest assured, I stop in from time to time.
How are things going? Is the game still a poo-slinging pit of raging griefers loosely scattered in an underpopulated universe?
I remember Vendetta fondly sometimes, and I sure as hell miss TGFT, but then I remember the endless ranting, deranged "politics" and "roleplay" used to mask abuse and I loose my will to pay to be subjected to it.

What I'm trying to find out is; Should I come back?

[edit]
Holy crap, I'm still a member in-game!
Thanks for keeping the porch light on, guys!

Heh, Hi zath, you are always welcome back.

All the general crap still goes on, but TGFT gives as good as it gets. I still remember, you wrote the original plugin before the game ever had lua.

Hello Zathras, and pleeeeease come back.

TGFT activity has bumped up in the last few months. Trident manufacturing has completely changed the game for traders. We have 6 in guild and are working on at least 3 more. We had 9 members this afternoon hauling stuff in 2 Tridents for 2 new Trident builds.

Hope to see you soon,

Blistering Ballsacks, Batman!
I'd strangle a spacecow with my bare hands for a Trident.

Also, I noted this in the next-to-last patch notes:
- NPC capships no longer suddenly twist their rotation when they jump out.

What, already? That bug is only 5 years old, and they already fixed it? :wink:

Hiya Zathras! I don't think I know ya, but how about we change that?

By Denerius Date 2013-02-11 03:43

Yeah you should come back. I left years and years ago and I'm glad to be back!

By Easy_Eddie Date 2013-02-11 06:21

What Den said. You don't know me, but I feel like I know you from reading your posts. I'll listen to you, Zathras.

With such a warm reception from my old and future friends, how could I resist?
I'll put it to the wife test to see if she would murder me in cold blood if I sink even more time into games, and if I survive, I'll come back in-game for at least a one-time monthly sub.

[edit]
Wife test passed, one-time payment made, so I'm back for at least a month.

I just realized I've been away for a looong time... Do I owe 3 years worth of dues? :eek:

By Lisa201 (Trident Captain) Date 2013-02-11 14:13

ha! How about you start paying dues in April! Give ya some time to catch up with the changes!

OH! And the the wife a sub!

By Zathras (Architect of The Great Machine) Date 2013-02-11 14:56

Hah, I have a bank of about 70 mill, so no worries.
My wife did play a little back in the day, but never really fell in love.

Now, my friend Kalima, however... Perhaps I should re-recruit her as well?
Poor girl is a WoW-head, so I won't have much luck until the mists clear.

Tell her it's the same junk with nothing fresh. She will eventually see.

By Zathras (Architect of The Great Machine) Date 2013-02-15 15:38

Kalima successfully re-recruited, and her doughter Isabella, too! :twisted:

By Lisa201 (Trident Captain) Date 2013-02-16 02:39

Sweet!

By Easy_Eddie Date 2013-02-16 15:29

And the great machine rolls on!
