Also: I've created a group for us on Bungie.net that is linked to our clan, which is where the majority of clan activity and info will be in future.

SO EVERYONE PLEASE GO JOIN THE GROUP!

Woot woot, first non-rocksolidaudio post in the new thread!

i may be a little late to practice tonight.

What time is practice??? Is practice what we do every night or is it different? But anyways i'll be on tonight at like 8:30.

whooo new topic!

Anyways, this one will be going down the drain fast, considering the other one only survived for 2 weeks :shock:

Also Craven Fiend, you should play more matchmaking on your own in team slayer and team skirmish alone before playing matchmaking stuff with the higher ranked people, because you should practice with people at your rank until you get better. See thats what matchmaking does, it helps you improve slowly while learning the maps. See when you start jumping into games with someone with a rank on BTB like zewone at an 11 or so and you dont even know the maps yet, thats not a good idea. So practice multiple things.

Ill be on later at around 4pm PT maybe and of course at practice.

[quote name='rocksolidaudio']Clan practice is twice a week, Tuesday and Thursday nights at 9:30p.m. central time. Please do your best to make at least one of them.[/quote]

Thanks bro. Sorry I was too lazy to look back lol. Thanks again.

i posted that i'd like to be in the clan in the last thread, but i guess you missed it...my gamertag is: ChrisPydonut

thanks hope to play with you guys

thats exactly what i've been doing when not playing with other clan members. thats why i am not a level one on everything. but i will be doing that tonight when i get on. i adjusted some of my settings, so that should help too. but yeah, i am still learning the curves, so be gentle with me. (sarcasm). i'll get better in time, shit last night was my 3rd night, so yeah.

ok Rock, Phazing Zero/Caleien is now Olrox Prime, i sent him an invite already and i took caleien off the clan.

[quote name='murcielago77']ok Rock, Phazing Zero/Caleien is now Olrox Prime, i sent him an invite already and i took caleien off the clan.[/quote]

Yeah, I cancelled the Calelien account today. Olrox Prime is my little brother's new tag, so Calelien is no more. There goes all my wins in CvS2, SvC, and GGXX#R. Oh well.

Anyway, practice is doubtful for me tonight. I'm going to another LAN party. Hopefully I can sneak on for a few rounds with you guys, but I'm not sure.

I shooooould be getting an Xbox for my b-day, January 9th, with Halo 2. So wish me luck! And how long does practice usually last?

[quote name='Mr. Anderson']I shooooould be getting Halo 2 for my b-day, January 9th, with Halo 2. So wish me luck! And how long does practice usually last?[/quote]

You are getting 2 copies of Halo 2 or did I just read this wrong. Or did you mean a Xbox with Halo 2 for your B day.

I've heard him mention it before, he is going to get an Xbox and Halo 2.

When I login under my account it doesn't show the clan. Can someone send me an invite or whatever it is that's needed for the clan? Thanks. I'll be on all of tonight. Names "Gai Daigoshi"

Things are changing tonight with the DCR clan. You guys are getting me plus 4 other guys that play alot and we're all pretty good now. Leave if you want to, but you'd make a waffle happy if you stayed.

I have plenty of points. I would rather help a CAG than purchase some crappy MS 1st party game ( Blinx). The only thing I'm waiting for is Mechassault 2.

To trade in or sell for a profit. I can probably get $35 at GR and it would cost me $9.

Yea seal if I didn't jump ship you are not either

I might be online a little later than planned...this news coverage of the tsunami is something that you can only see once. I'm just about not in the mood to even play tonight because of it.

Yea seal if I didn't jump ship you are not either[/quote] :lol: The DCR clan might finally pick up since we should have quite a few fantastic players. Maybe we can even take on the CAG clan in a custom game match.

What do you guys (CAG clan) think? Maybe in a week or so, we can set up a custom game (hosted by rock) and let everyone destroy us. It could be fun and it might be good for both clans to face eachother.

You know all of DCR wants join the dark side (CAG). Than jlarlee you can finally participate in some of our clan matches.

Also I wouldn't mind playing you guys in a clan match.

[quote name='zewone']You know all of DCR wants join the dark side (CAG). Than jlarlee you can finally participate in some of our clan matches.[/quote]We'll never join the dark side. Well, maybe next month.

[quote name='zewone']Also I wouldn't mind playing you guys in a clan match.[/quote]If we can get good enough to atleast score 1 flag in a CTF game against you guys or something like that, it would be great.

UGamerX is also his "royal sniperness", so don't think I was diminishing his ability in comparison. Arikado also is "he who ends the game with shooting Shrike". :lol:

Well, that would explan quite a bit, now wouldn't it?

Which reminds me, did GR2 show up today? USPS seems to think so.

wassap~ it's ku that im in that list on the front page but.... i didn't get a clan invite =( also didn't get approved to join the group. anyways ill probably be playing tonight.

Damn it. I tracked it earlier today and they said they delivered it. I just tracked it now, and it says they didn't deliver it.

I am mildy unamused by this.

In all honesty I have been very tempted, DCR has played like a total of five minor clan matches. I'm loyal to a fault though and figured i would stick it out for a bit longer. Although if you guys give me a no-trade clause and a fifth year on the contract i may rethink the situation

Looks like I will be on tonight. Should be on in a few.

Can someone send me the clan invite. Gamertag is Gai Daigoshi.

Tonite was some sort of karmic balancing after last night's amazing winning streak. Even with our best players together, we couldn't get anything done. I've never seen us lose so many objective games. Betrayals occurred during every game, the worst of which involved me killing Jimmie, Murc, and myself with a rocket. Poor Zewone's connection dropped almost every game. Even when we were inches away from winning, it simply wouldn't happen. Everyone's voice was choppy and unintelligible at points. I'm completely ashamed of my performance tonite. I was so mad, I barely said a word the last game.

God did not want us to win. It's the only explanation. Hubris truly is the foil of man. Tonite taught me that, no matter how many times you win, you have to lose eventually.

Ledhed, if it was any consolation, us playing off the JV side of XBL, we didn't do a whole lot better.

Won a few, lost more than a few, though didn't quite have the mechanism working as a well-oiled machine.

Wasn't working as a Swiss watch, though wasn't as bad as a Swiss car.

Sometimes, you have the game, and other times, the game has you. It does happen.

Learn from it and move on to the next day.

Well, I hope the Junior Varsitys had fun, because Lord knows I wasn't by the end of the night. But hey, win some; lose *more than* some.

Even if I'm getting my teeth kicked in and losing horribly, I always have fun.

If that includes screaming at the TV because I'm being handed my ass, then so be it, I still have fun doing it.

No reason to do it unless you're having fun. Always need to have fun, otherwise, don't do it.

And yes, it was a mixed bag night, with me getting a bomb arm and plant, only 'cause I looked down and it hit the mark. Thanks to you, Mooky.

As well as some other oddball crap. All of it fun.

Hey guys, new to CAG, new to XBL (Its been a good Christmas)- I'm a level 8 in Team matches, not amazing, but I do alright. Looking to join up if you guys decide you want me to, if not, I understand and I'll just keep practicing.

TAG - jv1127 (soon to change after my 2 free months run out and I have to go to subscription)

[quote name='joevan07']TAG - jv1127 (soon to change after my 2 free months run out and I have to go to subscription)[/quote]

If you're going to subscription anyways, just do it before the card expires. Then you can keep the tag and your stats.

I had an idea maybe we could try one of these game nights. Since we can pull a room of 16 on most games nights, how about we stack the teams.

Insted of 8 vs 8, we have like 6 vs 10 or 7 vs 9. Only the smaller team is made up of all the "top teir" players.

Since it seems the best players are the ones who are/will represent CAG in the clan matches lets see how they do when they are down in numbers.
