Alright, I'm gonna get this over with. NT is actually taking more of a "nap." We've run into a lot of bad luck with events popping up. Then again, NT hasn't been a lucky clan to begin with. Ran into 5 botting clans in scrims I believe. Plus Zilla has popped up a bunch, and Smokey has gotta be the biggest pain in the ass for NT besides the botters. Still, it was my fault NT died the first time. I should have seen that the desire for a new name from a couple other members after Zilla's first revival would lead to no good. I should have been more wise and direct in my decision there.
That's not the point though. The current events, right now, are what are causing this. I had to move, and my computer just happened to break, and the company just decided to go bullshit about their policies, and it's still going to be like another month before we get the replacement. During all this downtime, Smokey pops in and revives Zilla for real, without me knowing until it's too late, because our internet wasn't activated...

Wow. Lolz. I thought Tito wanted to be in or something?
-
Drac,
I'm sorry you had to come to this conclusion. I feel bad being one of the clan killers. I was hoping you would post "We're going to try!" because it's not like you to just drop this clan, especially after 5-6 full months of progress. I know it meant a lot to you, and it meant a lot to me as well. I loved NT. But I kinda loved Zilla even more, because there was always that sense of "Whoa." about Zilla. Not that NT didn't have that, but Zilla was the first true "Whoa." I had.
=\ I know it'll be back. I don't doubt it at all. You're that type of guy with the passion it takes to start a clan from scratch. You did it with this NT, when you only had You, Dance, and Thrash, and it's almost sad to see you kill NT when you drop to a "meager" 10 players. Remember, you have skills abound in NT, if you do decide to change your mind, and NT's life doesn't have to be over.
I'm sorry again,
-Bull
And tito.
Get the fuck out please. You lied and said you were a NT member, you lie and say you have good skills (PAH!), and now, after you say you're so good because you were a Lt. member, you're happy the clan is dead.
You, sir, are a hypocrite.
-
Ok, continuing from the first post...
I only came back a few days ago, when our internet was activated again. I've been using my PS3 to get the news on what's going on in Trem. Anyhow, I was shocked to learn I was two days late in coming back partially, that Zilla had come back and attracted what has ended up being 3 of our members. Also, Ozzy left and that hurt us as well, but I can't really dish out blame to anyone. It's just terrible luck really. Smokey can't be blamed for wanting to revive Zilla so badly. Afterall, Zilla kicks ass, it's true. Zilla, along with my leadership of Zirra, inspired me to make a clan that was like Zilla in terms of being competitive.
Maybe we would have kept our members had my computer not busted. I don't know for sure. But once again, no blame, because of course many members would go inactive and get bored of NT without me around. A similar event killed the first Zilla, Smokey can tell you that.
I'm going to close by just repeating that this is NOT the end of NT entirely...
-
It's not the end by far. But for now, I have no choice. What am I going to do with a Tremulous clan when I don't have access to Tremulous? I'm not going to make my members sit and wait, they've grown impatient. I'll be back to Trem in the future, once again, probably in a month or so. And even then, I'm going to wait for another opening. The Tremulous community changes. There will be another time where NT can come back on the stage. I'm not ending it for good just because of some DAMNUBSHIT luck. We kicked ass, maybe not the best and most skilled clan, but we held our own. And I feel that we were well-liked by most of the community that knew us. And I've been told that I can lead well.
So long as these things stay constant, and so long as I'm a Trem player, NT will always have it's place in Tremulous, awake or resting.
Thanks to everyone who was in NT, Lt, or even likes us (save for thirdstreet :( ). It all counted, and it's keeping the name, and my will to make it shine, alive.
-
Noble words.
I would have cried, but I was laughing too hard.
Just kidding, love yah, Dracone.
-
Oh don't worry the make it shine part WAS really gay. But I'm gonna let it sit there because laughter is gud.
-
I have a feeling this will be the future of Tremulous. Zilla starts to be the best then dies :'(. Then Dracone bring's back NT. Then Dracone's computer dies again :'(. So Smokey brings back Zilla. And so on....
-
This is the second time my computer has been broken during "important" times in Tremulous too. So with this luck, it's not unlikely for such an event to happen again. But I'm definitely gonna catch the good opening for to bring back NT. It might take some time though. Hopefully Zilla DOESN'T die either. There was never a real chance to have Zilla and NT around at the same time. I want that. Bad.
-
Dracone, Truly sorry about all of this, nothing against you at all. You know I've got love for you. I hope you'll start NT right back up when you return, because you're not a quitter. Thats what I like about you. I picked you up when you were a nobody and watched you turn into something, And I by no means meant to kill your clan. Even though you'd never accept, I'd still like to extend an offer for you to join Zilla, where you really belong :)
Plus, we need someone to have all the Zirra kids look up to :)
<333
-
Ahhhhhh, I would love to start NT right back up when I get back. But I'll most likely go solo for a while because I need it for a bit, competitive as I am in terms of scrims. Also, I'm not sure how many free people will even be around that I would let rally to NT when I bring it back. I'm sure there'll be a couple people floating around to pick up but I don't know. You might pick up most of 'em.
And tell the Zirralings of me. It will motivate them to know of the first leader of Zirra. :D Maybe.........
-
Ozzy is officially on vacation until Dracone returns.
-
Peace dude. I'm taking up Smokey's offer now to play with Body again.
I'll be available when you get back.
-
When we get our replacement computer and shit, I've definitely got get my pic in. :D Was something I almost got to doing. Unfortunately, well...yeh, shit hapn. DAMNUBSHIT COMPUTER!
-
Sorry to hear it all Dracone. Good luck to you, and hope to see you around when things get straightened out.
And yeah.. with writing like that, you should get a job at Hallmark or something. Excellent prose :>
-
heh, if all the NT guys go to Zilla, Zilla will go over it's 10-player limit. xD
-
sorry about leaving, but it was just down to a few nt members, and it stopped feeling like a clan. you are a good leader thou cone, ive been in a clan with you since wayyy back, ill miss our flamer batpak rushes. gl with the computer.
-
Yeah,NT also had some nice people.
And I perfectly agree with Bull.
-
heh, if all the NT guys go to Zilla, Zilla will go over it's 10-player limit. xD
Thats what you think. I'll just start kicking people. :)
-
Smokey, aren't you the kind of guy that doesn't like kicking people? I thought Blazeraid liked handling that.
-
Who kicked Jet?
-
Smokey did. I had recruited him into Zirra. When he started coming on TS, I realized it was bad. Our regular conversation on TS:
Jet: Hey Dracone.....
Me: What?
Jet: Nothing.
Jet: Hey Dracone.
Me: What?
Jet: Nothing again, I'm just annoying you.
Ask anyone around TS often at the time, that was what it was like. Such annoyances as that led me to pretty much request his removal after Smokey promoted him to Zilla. Also, he never would scrim in Zirra when I asked him to. Just always a lame excuse like, "I suck today."
-
ah, heh. That does sound annoying.
-
I was just wondering, what's "Zirra?"
-
:/ My karma is dropping. I am sad. :(
Anyhow...Zirra was like Zilla Junior. Smokey put me in charge and I recruited people who wanted to be in Zilla and trained them through scrims and stuff. It was basically like a seperate clan that pushed members up to Zilla. It was fun, but Smokey started recruiting lots of people for Zilla and stuff so yeah... :/
-
See, YourMama, I told you that you should've read the history.
-
Dracone might want to change the tile if NT is not dead :P
Took me about 1 minute to scan and find out its not :P
or am i wrong lol
to much to read.
-
That's where the quotation marks around the Dead come in. By all the usual characteristics of a dead clan, NT is dead. No members or anything. But the likelihood of it coming back is pretty much definite, so I couldn't just call it totally dead. It already looks like a few people are anticipating its return so the thread name will remain. :)
-
Ok =) cool
-
Good news! We're sending the broken computer in very shortly to get the HD backed up. I may have my replacement computer in and running a little bit sooner than I thought. :)
-
In them ean time you can buy a cheap eeePC =)
-
Well, it appears that the computer isn't broken anymore. Nudged some stuff back into place. Works fine. Except, the fucking monitor isn't working. Had issues with it before but we think it really shit the bed now. Not displaying anything. Pins are missing from the ends of the cord as well. >.>
Nonetheless, my parents wish to send the computer back anyhow, and get the replacement, because it does have issues whether or not it functions properly in general.
-
UPDATE: I am back, but it'll be a little bit before I do anything with NT really. I'm gonna talk around and see how many members I can get. If I can get a total of like 5 or 6, including me, then that should be good. If not, I'll drop it for a couple months and wait for a better opportunity.
It's good to be back though. My human is a bit rusty and something is wrong with my right speaker. Anything I hear to the right of my position in game is either really really quiet or silent. Like if I go through a door and take a right, the door's opening sound fades rapidly. :-X I'll fix it, had the issue before but forgot what I did to make it all better. :P
UPDATE + EDIT: Well, it is very unlikely that I will rally enough members to get this really going soon. So for now, I'm going to go solo and wait. NT is going to come back still, just not now.

We need more clans with skill that arn't retarded, hurry up.
Zilla + SGA + NT = Fun.
-
Ummmm.
Half of SGA has quit, and the other half is inactive = dead
Zilla sucks AND camps for 40 minutes, and then somehow thinks every other clans camp more than they do = shit
The only good clan you included in your equation is NT (if it comes back).
Kek.
-
Kek. = Kekenkiki?

Well said Witness, I personally think Zilla was the worst thing that happened to Trem. No offence Smokey, but before you guys came around, camping wasn't an issue in scrims.

Before we came around, There WERN'T scrims.

Camping has always been an issue for as long as I can remember. Well, maybe not that long. Back when the first Zilla and USA and such (That's when I joined trem, I'm sure camping wasn't much of an issue before as well) were around, camping wasn't really a strategy. It was just a clan war, so you would fight.
Nowadays, I rarely find a clan that doesn't camp. Don't go pinning the blame on Zilla, and I will admit I was doing the same to AA before, but that's rather unfair. I can promise you that camping was a problem before this Zilla came back, and it will likely remain a problem unless some clans make a serious effort to eliminate it. I try with Zirra to play. For numerous reasons, actually. One, if we lose it's not the end of the world. It's just zirra. Two, I'm giving my guys practice. That's what they joined Zirra for, to get better. And Three, Camping is boring as hell. So, at least Zilla spawned a clan that tries to not camp and make games boring.
Anyways, as to all the Zilla bashing. The other day, thanks to my visit to the AA server, I found some AA members are rather intelligent and respectful. And I'd appreciate if a lot of this nonsense between AA and Zilla would stop. It is just a game, and I'm tired of fighting. We scrimmed you, great, now lets stop acting like idiots. To the others of you not in AA who are saying stuff about Zilla, please, can you back your claims up with hard evidence? I'll admit to anything that has evidence against me, but not to random claims.

UPDATE AGAIN: NT will not be coming back very shortly anymore. It will be back, but it will be a good long while. I've joined Zilla and a few things have been worked out. Pretty much all of the insults I see being dished out are now meaningless because of changes we've made.
-
To Bull i repsect your opinion, but before AA or Zilla, I don't ever recall ppl purposly crouching on atcs camping the long hallways, not to mention the evo camping. Thats where your problem lies, get rid of the timed evos, and there wont be any camping. If you cant beat someone with skill, dont play.
-
get rid of the timed evos
actually, this sounds like a worthy thing to try.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure Bull and his G/Balls clan popularized the most annoying strategy ever crouching strategy...
So a lot of the blame does actually go to you
-
LOL I was going to say that.
I even posted a whole thing in the strategies forum about the whole crouching thing. It was Marijuana and I who discovered it I think, or at least we popularized it. Oh well, it's a good strategy if not overused, and that is exactly what it is, overused.
I'd still take the blame for it anyways. What are you guys gonna do? Call me a camper because I discovered it? Mmkay.

NECRO!:
AC/DC is lookin' for members, and I was wonderin', would the remaining NT members like to merge with AC/DC? We only have 2 members and a merge with GoR and NT would be beneficial for all 3 clans.
-
Not sure if anyone in GoR is even active anymore.
-
Nt is back, with like 8 members, see the other topic "Nt has awakened" or something.
-
Ah, I see... DAMN!
-
merges rarely, if ever, work.
examples:
Rev and Uvache (failed)
COM, PC and {S} (failed)
and if i'm not mistaken, {V} and AA tried to merge, but that failed as well.

oh, i was under that impression because I thought that is why Kevin left AA, because I don't think he is fond of yarou.

Ok now NT is officially dead or on a nap lol?
-
NT is alive again. It took a "nap" a while ago when Zilla returned but is now back.

Could a mod please lock this topic? I'd appreciate it, thank you. :)
