Anyone play this? I've seen it mentioned three times today, so I think it's some kind of clever divine sign.

It's free, looks mostly hilarious, and has features for clans.
Zomg!
Should we playz it?
mmm, Utopia all over again. :)
Looks a bit more interesting from the Wikipedia entry though, eh.
I don't know from Utopia. All I'll say is this game would be fun to play solo (it's mostly a solo game), but there seems to be quite a nice community. Last night in the newbie chat channel, I was asking a few questions, and I was getting random gifts from people. It was kinda cool!
What's everyone's character names? I know DA, ES and Ratbert all have accounts. My name is MuffinHead, natch.
Some dude in my neighborhood has a bunch of bumper stickers on his car that say this. I've never tried it though... I guess I could.
Does he have one with a meatcar on it?
Because I just made one. A meatcar, that is.
Good question! As I have no idea what a meatcar looks like I'm going to go with 'no' but future revelations might prove me incorrect. ;)
I signed up, ConnerCP is my login, I poked around a bit, but have no clue what I'm doing (:
I played it once. Didn't like it. And then stopped playing it.

Conner: make sure to go through the tutorial on the top of Mount N00b. There's an oriole who sits at the top who will show you the ropes. What's your class?
MoridinCP: Level 3 Frog Director
I think the only classes we don't have so far is Seal Clubber and Accordion Thief. Would be good to get those in the mix so we can spread around the phat loots.
I have a sea clubber, I made it through the turotial on Mount Noob, poked around a bit, think I'm lvl2 or 3
I guess I'll make an accordion thief sometime soon...
Conner, one of the best places to gain stats quickly is the temple in the woods. You need to do some adventuring in the spooky forest first, which contains the required ingredients to access it (the spooky-gro fertilizer and the spooky sapling, as well as a map), although it may take a few turns repeated visits to find them all. I finally got to it today and I was gaining a stat boost per adventure. No meat, though.
I did an AT but only got to level 2. It's a cute game. Don't see how it's MP though
Oh, yeah, RamsesIICP as you might've guessed.
I'm not sure how MP it is, either.
I think I'd rather play D2 (:
lol, I've gotta keep an eye on my drinking, a few drunken adventures can really dump your stats. It's not an action game, that's for sure, but I found the Haiku adventure funny enough that I came back today. Still a bit on the fence.
Supposedly at higher levels there are encounters that you can do in groups.
I'll second the Hidden Temple. I'm now a level 5 Gecko Handler, huzzah!
I see this game as a fun 15-30 minutes a day thing. It's not going to replace Halo or WoW or any of the other games you're all playing. It's just a change of pace... which doesn't require a subscription fee :D
Ratbert_CP, level 5(?) Pastamancer...
I'm at level 7 so I can create a clan now.
Suggestions for names and/or creedo?
I was thinking of something maybe Myth related, and hopefully a pun (as this game thrives in them)...
How about...Clan Plaid?
Working on the meat car thing now. I've got two buff items that raise my HP and MP a substantial amount, so I don't ever see to be in danger from fighting. How do you join clans? What level do you have to be to get together?
The guild thing for AT is cute. The game definitely has some amusing elements, if you pay attention and don't just grind them out.
I think it's level 5 to join (gain access to the clan area) and level 7 to create a clan. The best part is we can make a stash and toss all of our unused equipment in there for other people to use.
I am also currently at level 7, and just meat-smithed my Shagadelic Disco Banjo! (the legendary epic weapon for the Disco Bandit)
For Myth-related names, "One Last Root" always works, and has a naughty double-meaning in some other English-ish-speaking countries. I'm thinking that could be the name. Following that, some random combat phrase like "Damn your eyes!" or "Make way for the dwarf!" could be a motto.
-Eye
Mori: hoping to not be "Clan Plaid", not only because it would naturally exclude others (especially FoP, like DA), but because the current induction system is in such a shit state right now, especially since there's no end to the voting reform in sight (all the important people have gone AWOL).
I was thinking "Miss Myth" ("Mith Myth"?) might be a little pun-ny...
It's a silly web game with booze powerups and meat for currency. I don't think we need to take it that seriously. I have no problem with anyone we know who wants to play with us joining our 'clan', regardless of the name we use.
I vote for "Clan Plaid" or "Clan Plaid and Friends", no matter to me.
How about "Clad Plain"? That always cracked me up when I saw it in myth. Was it Santa's brother who came up with that?
Clad Plain is not bad, actually.
Mori: you might not take it seriously, and I might not take it seriously, but someone else might. The discussions of the last few months make that pretty clear. Better to avoid the issue altogether.
we've had a pigskin pick 'em group for years that has been called "Clan Plaid" and have had non-clan plaid members, same goes for fantasy baseball league, and the NCAA tourney picks. I don't recall there *ever* being an issue with that, and I know we have usually sent out plaid wide emails every time we are forming those.
Clan Plaid gets my vote
Conner, have we used the Clan Plaid name in other online game clans before, where there were non-CP who were invited into and participated in that clan?
Pigskin pick-em, fantasy hockey, NCAA tourney picks, etc. doesn't count.
it doesn't count because you say it doesn't count? Please email me spelling out all of your rules so I know them.
When Ikariam was 'big' Fire Chief set up a Clan Plaid order that 'we' joined. I don't recall if there was ever non plaid in it or not, but it wouldn't have mattered one bit.
Does that one not count either?
Fantasy pools don't count because they're not online games. The name of the group doesn't imply any sort of group system, special rules or exclusivity. People in fantasy pools wouldn't show up listed as being in #CP#, nor would they assume they are in a group called #CP#. Is that good enough explanation for you?
I don't know what Ikariam is, but from your description you've given my argument more clout, if this was a in-game clan bearing the #CP# name, which only contained #CP# members. Your assumption "it wouldn't have mattered one bit" is not a fact, and you can't show it would be universally held by the order. The fact is, unless it can be shown that we've used the #CP# name for a clan in an online *game* (thereby showing exclusivity within that game), then I do not want to be the first person to try.
If you don't think it would be a big deal, and you don't mind accepting the consequences later on if someone were to raise an issue with the name (and possibly require removal of non-#CP# from the group), then by all means, start up the clan in KoL (guild), and I'll be your first member.
Carch set up a Clan Plaid in Lord of the Rings Online which contained non-CP members (myself included).
EyeSore also just mentioned that WoW has a #CP# clan with non-CP. So the precedence has been set.
I can create the guild today unless someone else beats me to it.
I can mix up a mean cocktail, if you're tired of drinking lame beer and moonshine. Horde up bottles of rum, gin, whiskey, etc!
Our first goal should be 50k to purchase a store at the mall, for reselling.
After that, what should we add to the rumpus room?
http://kol.coldfront.net/thekolwiki/index.php/Clan_Rumpus_Room
I'm an Accordion Thief named lCroakerl
Added.
There's no indication when an application has come in. (There really should be)
It's just a coincidence that I read this 1 minute after you posted it :)
Coolio. I sang everyone a nice little ditty for luck and dumped off a bunch of stuff that will probably prove to have been invaluable to me.
By the way, what the hell do you do with rat whiskers?
You can sell 'em to the pretentious artist for 50 meat a piece.
If you're not sure if something's valuable, don't dump it. Hang on to it. I'm putting all my duplicate pieces of equipment in there. Take whatever you need. :)
