In October of 2014, Pooncrew and I were just a couple of 24 year old guys whose phones were being drained by Tap Sports Baseball. We needed something else to kill time at work. We decided to search for a Risk app that worked on both iPhone and Android, and the rest is history.
Now, both of our work situations have changed, leaving us less downtime and thus, little to no time to play Warlight since we don't want to clog up our free time.
I'm sure you've all been wondering, "What happened to those crazy cats Pooncrew and QueefBalls, they used to post thought-prooking discussion topics and contribute ideas to the brain trust known as the forum." So I guess I'm writing this to give you all closure.
Pooncrew is at the end of his run it seems. I'm gonna call myself semi-retired. Like I'm not gonna delete the app from my phone, but I probably won't be creating games outside of the Poon Squad, and even then I don't know how frequent they'll be.
I guess this is the part of the acceptance speech where I give thanks.
First off, thanks FIzzer for making this game.
Thanks to Monsi, the greatest Warlight player who ever lived.
Thanks to Mr Slippyfist, the third best Warlight player who ever lived (after Monsi and Fridge).
Thanks to Piss Flaps the Sly, for being the first non-American Warlight player and making the game international.
Thanks to ieatpubes, for introducing us all to caps lock Friday.
Thanks to Jizzmo and his vast network of friends for introducing me to the Romance of the Three Kingdoms series, the most confusing video game ever created.
Thanks to iFapTwoHanded (RIP) for being him.
Thanks to all the former Poons who have gone on to different clans or who have quit altogether. Once a Poon, always a Poon, as far as I'm concerned.
Thanks to our allied clans: MSF, Gentlemen, Juggernauts, Clam Clan, Lu Fredd, and Super Cute Marshmallow Gumdrop Warriors for always being down for friendly battle and banter.
Thanks to all the forum posters who have shown us so much love over the years. Especially Eklipse, Des, MrHymen, ChrisCUM, and FakeAndRandomKing.
Thanks to all the people who yelled at us for having "offensive" names. Talking to you guys made me feel like the adult in the room for the first time in my life.
Most of all, thanks to the members of the Poon Squad, new and old. If the Poon Squad hadn't been there to push me, I might never have been the first player to reach two years on Warlight. Special shoutout to Swagnum and jamrod for being with us before the clan was even an official thing. Another special shoutout to Wykeez and indibob, who have been with us since just after the clan was founded, and have stuck it out through the good times and the bad. Those guys have done more than I could have imagined to make the Poon Squad a great place to be. Shoutout to Warlight's power couple, Pooncrew and Cumburper, for being my partners throughout this crazy ride.
Poon on. Always and everywhere.
QB
PS I don't think this mystery was ever solved:
