Proud to be FAnG!
 

I just wanted to say 'Hello', just in case anyone here still remembers our pathetic forum posts back on round 7.

How many do still play?

Re: Proud to be FAnG!
 

Hey LEFF, I've been warming up the croud for you the past few weeks ;)

Re: Proud to be FAnG!
 

Hey LEFF <3

Re: Proud to be FAnG!
 

He only gets online once every 3 years so don't expect a reply anytime soon ;)

Re: Proud to be FAnG!
 

Hi LEFF, all the crowd warming but only a 10second apearence in #fang :P

Re: Proud to be FAnG!
 

It's a shame isn't it. His activity is even more rare then good German beer is :)

Re: Proud to be FAnG!
 

Kjeldoran wrote me something similar a few weeks ago... he just left out the n....

ps. hi LEFF

Re: Proud to be FAnG!
 

Hey LEFF, welcome back, even if it was a very brief stay!

Re: Proud to be FAnG!
 

So true!

Re: Proud to be FAnG!
 

A FAnG return would be awesome. Although quite how last time's attempt to return which failed before the round started could be topped is beyond me.

Re: Proud to be FAnG!
 

What round you talking about? Did someone try to revive FAnG after round 12/13?

I would agree that a return would be awesome, though rather unrealistic as the current remaining FAnG players are scattered around in several alliances including yours. So it wouldn't be "FAnG" anymore.

Then again, it'd be 1 more alliance to hate and flame and I'd again have a purpose on AD!! ;)

Re: Proud to be FAnG!
 

For round 31.

A diversification of your portfolio from the current state of affairs would certainly be welcomed by all and sundry.

Re: Proud to be FAnG!
 

I didn't know about that. Who was running the alliance then and was it any representation of what FAnG used to be regarding members? Or did it never hit off (or failed before tickcount)?

Diversification is always a good thing. Sadly enough I don't have the time anymore to run an alliance.

Re: Proud to be FAnG!
 

"our" pathetic forum posts?

Only "your" pathetic forum posts! :p

Re: Proud to be FAnG!
 

it failed because nobody told me about it! :(

Re: Proud to be FAnG!
 

i doubt it had anyone involved from the old chain of command... most likely alch/irvine trying to restart angels.... because i remember them trying that then failing because both went away :D

Re: Proud to be FAnG!
 

are you still playing fatty?

Re: Proud to be FAnG!
 

not this round :p i just signed up a planet to xpwhore your round to hell though :D

Re: Proud to be FAnG!
 

Angels aren't the same as FAnG aye. Infact, the only command both alliance shared were Irvine and myself.

Re: Proud to be FAnG!
 

True, without Sun_Tzu you might aswell skip the round as you'll fail horribly :)

Re: Proud to be FAnG!
 

It was Irvine, then the faggot went MIA a week before tickstart and shit hit the fan :salute:

How do you think I got sucked back into this shitty game.

Re: Proud to be FAnG!
 

Hehe, not the first time he pulled that on us. Though he still is the best DC I've ever had the pleasure working with. The guy didn't need any sleep for months!!

Re: Proud to be FAnG!
 

Hi guys :>

Re: Proud to be FAnG!
 

FAnG was fun :(

Re: Proud to be FAnG!
 

I had to check the thread date to see if this was a post from ages ago, because it sure sounded like it :)

Yo leff, kj, ben and other woodpeckers :)

Re: Proud to be FAnG!
 

Perhaps we are preparing to come back into the game aye ... who knows.

Re: Proud to be FAnG!
 

[19:48:46] -Munin- Heroes Die, And Legends Fall, But Angels Are Until Four Days Before Tick Start

Munin never lies!

Re: Proud to be FAnG!
 

Angels != FAnG though :)

And those are other Angels hehe.

Re: Proud to be FAnG!
 

I know. And we're not.

We got a new website though. Not spamming the link, just in case you've been with us and our mass-mail did not reach you, check my sig ;-)


Hi Veil, OMG Alki!, Sun_Tzu: <3, Scorpio: KJ was much worse than me. Hi Colt and Hi gm!

Re: Proud to be FAnG!
 

Way to ruin the mistery, LEFF. Becides, you wouldn't know. You only played 2 rounds with FAnG, then you quit the game :)

And yeah Scorp, my posts were much worse. Mostly because LEFF never posted but ok :)

Re: Proud to be FAnG!
 

The Furious Mobile looks smart, i made the A-Team van, handled like crap though and didnt quite look right with jezz hanging out the window in a bikini

Re: Proud to be FAnG!
 

Indeed.. not entirely certain how he always pulled it off, but he's one of the best DCs in the PAX era.

Re: Proud to be FAnG!
 

*pre-PAX. Irvine got his start once he took over after Carnis, rnd7 in FAnG.

Re: Proud to be FAnG!
 

I didn't realize that.. I only played with him during the PAX times.

I was also attempting to avoid stepping on any pre-PAX toes since the quality of player and the level of commitment was substantially greater than in the PAX era.

Re: Proud to be FAnG!
 

Original FAnG DC's held their own in pre-pax terms as well ;)

Re: Proud to be FAnG!
 

Like when they got raped at the end of round 7 and effectively disbanded during round 8 and were a complete non-event in round 9? Surely an epic showing for the ages!

Re: Proud to be FAnG!
 

Rnd7 didn't get raped until we ran out of e, no fuel makes fighting rather hard, especially when you're outnumbered.

Rnd8 disband was after LEFF burnt out/some member(s) got hacked. This, imo, is the right place to end the story of FAnG, as later incarnations weren't really the same.

Stop trolling Irish.

Re: Proud to be FAnG!
 

Ah.. yes.. the days when Eonium was merely a fuel. Can we do a throwback War/Science speedgame or something?

Re: Proud to be FAnG!
 

....smells like Teen Spirit :D

Re: Proud to be FAnG!
 

Getting raped is still getting raped.

We didn't cheat, we woz hacked!

You mean you're not going to count the only version of FAnG which actually won a round? :D

Re: Proud to be FAnG!
 

Nope. Imo the best version was the rnd7 group.

Re: Proud to be FAnG!
 

That doesn't mean it's not the same alliance after that point though. You need a serious break in terms of HC/memberbase to justify that.

Re: Proud to be FAnG!
 

Iirc Rumad, Lockhead, LEFF and TU all quit more or less after rnd8. That's 4/6 original HC (TU quit after rnd7, Rumad became less active during rnd8 and afaik never returned to hc'ing proper after that round, LEFF burnt out a bit after rnd8 and quit PA completely, Lockhead took a part of the members after the rnd8 split and joined Eclipse etc.). Big enough for you m8? Oh, and Carnis being original main DC left during rnd7. And some worthless players like Bluearmy and whomever left after rnd8. The lack of much of the original nG members is also a large part of why it later reverted to the name Angels, in reference to Furious Angels, the other original alliance that merged into FAnG. Oh, and changing from a small elite alliance early rnd7 towards a larger and less exclusive alliance with Angels later on is also a significant break in the essence of what the alliance was!

Come on history-boy. You can do better than this! I wonder how many rnd7/8 FAnG'ers have been in Asc. I'm thinking 20-25%?

Re: Proud to be FAnG!
 

Odd, your reaction is completely different from your pawiki logs. End of round 7 we had 2 major alliances (Virus and Legion) hatting us with no help from anyone in the block (Nor Fury, nor RaH). We managed to do decent damage control. They had 3 times the numbers so ... little we could have done.

Round 8 we disbanded due to internal crap, not because our DC's weren't good.

Re: Proud to be FAnG!
 

FAnG round 10 and 10.5 were good (be it we disbanded R10 but we gave Eclipse and Elysium one hell of a fight). After that, Angels took over :)

Re: Proud to be FAnG!
 

Very true. Was the most fun round for me aswell. also the first time we got to play with the big boys (Fury, Legion, ...)

Re: Proud to be FAnG!
 

Very well said. Also Irvine became HC after round 8 (or was it during?). So did Cray and Alch. Infact, I was the ONLY remaining HC who stayed in the team, all others left or got kicked or quit. So yeah, a rather significant change.

You are correct of the reason why we renamed to Angels. Mainly because we wanted a fresh start (as a BG first) and we had little to no affection with nG anymore (As Lockhead joined Eclipse and LEFF quit the game ... both created nG).

Re: Proud to be FAnG!
 

Irvine was still just a dc rnd8 iirc, LEFF was the main HC that round.

Re: Proud to be FAnG!
 

Yeah, that's what I thought. Irvine became HC when FAnG reformed.

LEFF wasn't that active and present as you think he was, during round 8 :)

I wouldn't call him the main HC that round. I think Lockhead was our most active HC back then, then Rumad and I. Hinch was just there for tech reasons, don't think he cared much about the game anymore at that stage ;)

Re: Proud to be FAnG!
 

That's because I try to be as neutral as possible when writing that so you get as many facts across as possible while avoiding random retards coming along and ****ing it up. As I said above getting raped is getting raped. It's your fault if you get into that situation. And nobody cares if your DCs were good, the point is your alliance/HC had an emo stress-out and FAnG collapsed. Resounding success this is not.

Not even close. That's one who quit before the round, one who just wasn't that active anymore after it and 2 who left. For an actual split where you can justifiably say that it's not the same alliance anymore you basically need all the HC gone and actual arguments to ensue over whether or not it really is the same alliance anymore, see Wolfpack. You need a real break in continuity.

Yeah, like 6 rounds later.

Totally irrelevant. Round 28 Ascendancy was a very different alliance to the Round 16 version in "HC" (myself, game, golan versus rob, jester, bwtmc), memberbase (probably less than 25% remaining from that round) and essence (xp versus hardcore value play). It was still the same alliance though. It's called evolution*.



*Please don't call us evolution :(
