^ I've had plenty of bad games with Poon Squad, but that was because of the questionable settings they prefer and not their players' behavior.

I don't see anything distasteful in the original post. There are a couple harmless play on words that are perhaps childish, but who cares?

However, I am not a fan of recruitment threads in general. It seems like a poor way to get clan mates in general. Why not have an open tournament instead? That way you at least see people perform, and they can see the type of settings you like in the tournament as well.

It's like people that advertise via mailers (or hanging crap on your door). How many of those actually work? Yet if you get a referral from someone about a business...I bet you call them. You are much more likely to find a match for whatever service you are looking for than some mass advertising campaign.

That goes for more competitive clans and non competitive clans alike. Blind invites simply lead to more trolling. Get the players that are right for your clan.

^ Agreed. It's important to see your potential future clanmates in action (whether in diplo or strategy, depending on what your clan cares about) because it's in-game behavior that builds clan reputations and also lays the foundation for intraclan activity.

Unfortunately none of us have enough coins to start an open tournament. But generally when someone expresses interest in joining we start a game with then as sort of a trial run.

Agreed Chris and Knyte, Battle Islands 1v1 with strong prerequisites fills up surprisingly fast.

Idea: Filter for clans (open seat prerequisite) you can block certain clans or make only clan less people join so you can recruit easier. I was trying to recruit on Battle Islands and MotD and #QB joined my games lol

Yeah, you could make an open game at least with the filters you want.

As a former member of Poon Squad (Had some tech issues causing everything to go to shit), I can truly say they're one of the most accepting groups I have met on the internet. While they are of course, very inappropriate, they have a core of active players that make the experience worth it.

I have seen nothing but hate from these forums being thrown at the clan, but when it comes down to it, you're no worse than they are.

Also, Poon.

Nothing but hate? Good thing you did not generalize things. I did not type a single hateful thing in this thread.

Their issue is they started off really poorly with the forums. I have made an attempt to give them a second chance (and now only offer constructive criticism), but thank you for lumping me in with everyone.

I dont think he was talking about everyone chris but we definitely get a lot more hate on here then we deserve

I agree,with the godfather Zeus,too.

you know if your recruiting i'm always looking for some where to go since being kicked from CORP.

^ Can vouch for shinigami. He's not too bad of a player/clanmate once you get past the whole obsessed-with-lolis/hentai part. :)

hey quit bringing up my fetishes when ever you get the chance.
plus i don't see how they are a problem in any way.

I'm only bringing them up because they're relevant to any future clanmates- as a result of your regularly bringing them up (and renaming yourself after them).

If people know about your fetishes to the point that they bring them up, then they definitely are relevant. I mean, I can't think of any other player whose fetishes are common knowledge. >_<

All I'm saying is that no one knows what I search for on Bing Videos with SafeSearch turned off.

plus i don't see how they are a problem in any way.

They probably won't be, as long as you keep them to yourself. But so far they've been the reason you've been suspended from WL and kicked out of a clan. :( But I'm optimistic.

-_- no comment...to any of that no matter how much i want to list what kind of porn you watch i just won't.

Knyte I think you're the first person I've met who uses Bing for anything haha

I was thinking the same thing, QB! haha

@QB and @xtimmiehx:

Really? I thought it was an open secret that Bing is the better search engine if you're looking for explicit material, especially (streaming) videos that are tough to find (because the copyright holder is trying to remove them).

I guess I am a sheltered web surfer, as I don't look for that kind of material lol. :[ Does anyone want to play? I'm bored... Also wondering why there isn't a lobby that can be used to identify people wanting to play, or games that need a substitute, etc?

^ Just level up and join the real-time ladder. :D Feel free to set up a 1v1 against me, too, if you want- preferably not on a shitty template.

I forgot that most of this site is really young. It was a few years ago that Google Images started filtering explicit results and no longer made it easy to find, say, a pair of breasts by searching "twins." Bing has been more lax with that because it knows its userbase.
