Default This is me...

Just to prove that I can follow simple instructions...

What games are you currently play/looking to play with TOG?

Many. The main ones at the mo are Modern Warfare 2 on the xbox and Fallen Earth on the PC (which is the reason for me being here). But I also play LoTRO, a whole lot of xbox stuff and various off-line PC stuff sporadically. On top of that I have chars on most of the big MMO's which I pop onto occasionally for a bit of nostalgia.

What was the first gaming console you own or pen and paper game you played?
Atari 7600. But before I hit those heady technological heights it was an Acorn Electron. Tabletopwise (is that a word?) Warhammer FRP, Cthulu and MERP.


Why do you want to join TOG?
I'm looking for a clan in Fallen Earth. Other than being tired of recieving random invites from desperate clans who don't have any standards of who they let in, I'm looking for people I can natter to while I'm shooting mobs in the face.

I'm looking for a good natured bunch of people who are happy doing their own thing, but who are also happy to put themselves out to help out people in the clan. I can't deal with clans/guilds/kins/etc that are full of kids who expect other people to the work for them, but won't be bothered to put themselves out to help out others.

From what I've heard and read, TOG tick the boxes.

Tell us about yourself or anything else you'd like to share.


As a child, unhappy that I was forced to live in a cardboard box next to the washing machine, I ran away to live with the wolves. Unfortunately, they told me to piss off. Apparantly, they don't like ginger people either. And the fact that I had managed to find the only talking wolves in the South-East of England hadn't escaped me, even at that age.

So I decided to join the Circus. As you know, there are fewer Circuses than there used to be. And they move about a lot... so I was in my mid-twenties by the time I found one. They told me that I was too tall to be a dwarf that is fired out of a cannon, and to be a bearded lady I needed to be a lady. And have a beard. They suggested that I find a more mainstream line of employment. And to never come back... ever.

So for a while I flip-flopped between Tesco and Asda. Both of whom told me that they would not give me a job until I got a proper pair of shoes.

I struggled with a drug addiction for a while, but never really got the hang of it (I don't like needles) so gave up trying before long. I'm now working on an alcohol addiction, which is coming along quite nicely.

Which brings me neatly to the present day. I am a 39 year-old hermit, living in a cave on the coast of east Kent, and consider myself a very lucky man. You'd be surprised how few caves have running water and a broadband connection.

Fallen Earth is my first MMO... If you ignore the fact that I've also played SWG, CoH, CoV, WoW, Auto Assault, GW, Tab Ras, DAoC, LoTRO, Planetside and half a dozen free ones. But other than that it's my first.

Disclaimer: This is a work of fiction (well most of it), created for humorous entertainment. If you didn't find it funny, you just weren't trying hard enough. Read it again. But this time chuckle occasionally, laugh out loud at the end of every second sentence, and at the end of the third paragraph turn to whoever else is in the house and tell them 'this is hillarious, you've gotta read it'. If no-one else is in the house you could either phone a friend, call round to a neighbour or accost a random passer by to achieve a similar effect.

Welcome to TOG

Any questions dont be shy

An admin should be by soon to handle the application

When your membership is approved though....

Also...welcome to TOG Fallen Earth

When you get a chance (after being processed here) can you drop by our Fallen Earth forum and post in our Post Here If Interested in Fallen Earth sticky listing your toons. It helps those ingame to track down new members to invite them...and also enables us to have a reasonably accurate idea of how many toggers are interested in Fallen Earth.

Also you can find the list of officers who can invite you to clan here: TOG Fallen Earth Officer List
Chase one of those down once ingame for a clan invite

Hope to see you ingame soon

regards,
B

Ah... then you'll be wanting the noob forum. Down the hall, first cave on the left, cannot miss it, filled with people who still laugh out loud.

Welcome to TOG!
