    I sat on a bunker doing SVER defence earlier and got 24 kills against 4 deaths with a killstreak of 14 earlier. Bullshit xp but pretty good fun.

    I vote no on this, WANG is easy enough to explain to passers by and grandma types. But the little ascii wang is...well you know...

    I know it lacks "wang" but perhaps a cleaner alternative would be something like Penny Arcade Commandos or PA Commandos? Then our clan would be PACmen as in that little yellow creature that we all know and love and... OH GOD THE NERDINESS! MAKE IT STOP!*

    *whew*

    Of course one could also infer that PAC is a reference to certain musical artists who seem to produce songs despite being, you know... dead.

    *Disclaimer: If I ever get that bad again shoot me... Please, for the love of god; shoot me.

    Plus, I played with a couple of those guys. They weren't all that.

    Name: Wangsw/oBorders, tag [W/B]. Btw, we have one more character available in the name. [Ed:16 chars]

    I have created this clan. Unknown about tag size. Best answer I can find is "three for sure".

    Sounds like we still need a consensus on the clan name for retail.
    FromRussia/Wang should fit in 16 chars, tag [FRW] or [FR/W] if allowed. Votes?

    It's three characters. I tried earlier to make a tag with four and it did not compute.

    Anyone still a) screwing around with the Beta and b) still rollin' SVER? We should get a game in before it ends.

    a) Yes
    b) Yes

    But I just checked out for tonight. Might play a bit tomorrow night if the beta's still up.

    Unfortunately, MAG, like all team-based games, relies on the strengths of other people. I had a few games tonight that just sucked, because someone wouldn't shut up about how high they were/much everyone else sucked for not running around with a healgun up their ass/accidentally TKed them with a grenade.

    But then I had some games that were just lovely. So I don't know whether or not I'll buy this. :P

    Edit - Actually, I have a backlog the size of Kobe Bryant's dick, and the last thing I need is a stat-grinder multiplayer game. I'll be passing for now.

    So is there a list of names for clan name we can vote on or something for retail or is there a consensus already? And we are playing SVER right?

    I was on last night and saw no one the entire time so I wasn't on tonight. :/
    I'll be on again Friday night. Let's get in at least one full-press PA group before retail.

    There is a consensus on SVER as our faction, already decided via Google poll. Most of us didn't care which faction as long as we were in the same one.

    Right now the only two serious clan names I heard were:
    From Russia With Wang
    Wangs without Borders

    I vote From Russia With Wang [FR/W] or [FRW]. Because wang means love, right?

    Not familiar with that unit of wang, but sorry to hear that. I don't play to grind the stats, I just play things I can find PA'ers on. Hope you eventually join us, it was fun teaming up with you.

    Wangs Without Borders is the PA Borderlands group on STEAM

    ergo it would be bad form to poach it.

    Well, it's not so much "grinding stats" as it is that it'll be 12:30am like it is now and I'll be going "just 100 more XP to the next level ... okay, only 500xp to the next, that's like one good match and a half-ass, I can manage that ... shit, it's fucking 3am" :P

    I did enjoy playing with PAers though since everyone seems to be Not A Dick, a quality sorely lacking in most online gamers.

    So, change my vote to "The version of 'From Russia With Wang' that was suggested and fits in the character limit." I thought that would've been obvious ... :D

    Merchenaries is an acceptable substitute, however.
