If there's going to be a Goon player guild, what should it be called in-game? The Goon Colonists? Pilgoons?

MrGreenShirt: Mar 14, 2005; Hell of a book. It's about bunnies!

Since there's going to be magic in-game, and it's set in Salem, maybe we should be the SAlem Witch Hunters and put the hammer to any pubbie suspected of practicing the dark arts (which would be all of them.)

Alternatively, the Salem Goontrotters.

I really hope we can put animals in jail. Capture some pubbie's livestock and imprison them for witchcraft and associating with the DEVIL.

Might as well play up to pubbie expectations and get a sinister, mysterious, and foreboding name. We are basically the illumnati after all, new world goonder.

Could we just stick to Goonluminati, then? It's got a nice ring to it.

Sadly I must inform you that the Beta won't start for a while yet. That post about it starting today was a bit premature sadly

We are however progressing with the confirmation e-mails and I hope you will have them shortly!

They probably would have it by the 15th, but us alpha testers complained too much about the mapgen so they have to do quite a bit of tweaking. Yeah, I know you must be pissed at us now, but trust me, it's for your own good.

Wow.

Bad Karma on the Goon forums posted:

With all that being said, I am afraid that you guys should be bothered about Goons, because I highly doubt that you will be able to organize as powerful community as Goons are to have an opposite force against them. Goons exist for a while now and they are very organized, as I said, with its hierarchy and stuff. Not many of them even know most of their secrets. For example, you will NEVER...again..you will NEVER see or hear their leader or high-ranked members to give out orders directly to somebody. Instead they do it (as far as I know from spying on them in UO and some other games) in a chain..one gave it to another, that one gave to another etc so that when you guys gonna cry and break your keyboards on forums you wont be able to accuse key members of their community..you will only know little names, usually those who COMMITED the criminal act, but not those, who stand behind all this.

Think about that people..I know what I am talking about.

P.S. THe information above is not only from my personal experience..I was talking to some ex-goon members who also told me what they know. Again, most of the members don't even know about the structure of their society...only high-ranked members are most "enlightened" ones. Good luck

This has to be a troll. Right? Do people actually believe this is how we operate? I realize that we've caused quite a bit of chaos in many games but it's just basic organization + poopsocking vs the average group's lack-there-of. Still, this thread is pretty hilarious.

We're looking to launch the beta some time tomorrow (Monday 16th). Me and code gnome still have one more night of crunching to do. Hold your horses and it'll all be good. Admittedly I'm saying this after having downed a couple of GTs, but: I <3 you. Thanks for the patience you've always continued to show.
And when I said this I was straight up trolling you guys just to be a complete rear end in a top hat. The beta will be launching sometime around the turn of the month (late April/Early may), but we have apparently not set any firm date here.

(It wasn't a joke, I fully believed it when I said it. Just an ever so slight misunderstanding between us and our paradoxian overlords. Apologies.)

Goonluminati/Ilgooninati just isn't doing anything for me. I like New Goon Order much better!

Just make sure this is our mascot:

Also, the mapgen could be the issue with the beta delays... or, they are having trouble going through the referral pyramid thread and making sure none of those referral accounts get in.

Signed up and acquired the three referrals today. Hopefully I'll still make it into the Beta.

Played H&H off and on for a year or so previously. So far it feels like this is just H&H 2.0

New Goon Order doesn't flow. Goonluminati has a much better ring to it, although I agree with apple that must be the mascot.

Are we really thinking of doing a 'NWO' or 'Illuminati' themed guild? We should go for more of a colonial themed name I think.
