2008-08-20T12:29:00.005Z

Hey fellow soc mates... I wanted to post some pics of my 19k durulium ATH while it is still on the ATH list.

Thank you so much

2008-08-07T08:39:00.003Z

At 4 am EST time, Neo logged into EU and told me he had somthing to give me. So, we met at wolve. He, then had informed me that since i've fallen own hard times... (had a baby 2 months ago) the soc had taken a collection for my family. He then placed the peds/items in the trade box.

I, told him that it was too much and that I could not except it. He told me every one gave a little so it was OK to take it. I was so touched by this gift, that I was nearly in tears. The amount did not matter (and it was NOT a small amount). It was, that my friends cared enough to do this for my family that mattered to me. This touched me so ,I had to wake my wife up to tell her. After she woke up enough to understand, what I was telling her she to was very touched as well. This gift meaning so much to us. I will not be leaveing EU, I will be chipping a few skills to make ends meet. But, I will keep some skills for the yrs. to come with my soc=friends/family.

Neo, the new society leader since 27/07/2008

2008-07-28T09:21:00.004Z

Hey folks,

I've been pretty busy IRL and still am. Therefore I found that I couldn't do my job as society leader as it should be. I'm pleased that Neo wanted to take this job on his shoulders. Neo is skilled, is very active, social and a pleasant person for newcomers (always ready to help out).

I hope you understand my dicision. I did the leader job for almost two years now. To make some things clear: if Neo decides not to be the leader anymore, or anything else I am willing to be society leader again (are someone else that is capable of).

Thanks for your understanding,
And hey! This is NO goodbye! ;)

Ciao!

Teamspeak server for UT

2008-07-10T08:29:00.004Z

Hi,

For those that want voice communication ingame there is now a soc solution.
There is a free team speak server where I applied for a soc area.

To use it you need:
- A headset.
- To download the teamspeak client from http://www.goteamspeak.com/
- Intall it and connect to server "ts.starbase.se:8767"
- Register an account with the "Register to server" option under "Self" menu.
- Go to the United talents room seen in the list of teamspeak rooms.

At least thats how I think it works. We probably will get a room during the day today.
If we will need a password to access our area you will have to ask me for it in soc chat.

You can read more about this on http://www.magnumopus.se/site/index.php?option=com_wrapper&Itemid=11.

I think it can be a great addition for soc hunts

Lots of thanks and +rep to E-Lite from Magnum Opus that have been providening this service to the EU community for the last 3 years absolutely free.

Beacon

2008-05-01T13:13:00.005Z

IMPORTANT:
Since 20:00 is to late for some members we try to start already at 18:00 MA time!

A while ago I found a 25 ped beacon and now its time to use it!
Starting time is 2008-05-02. 20.00 MA time. Location is west of Troy.

All in soc are welcome. There is room for 12 in the team.
You dont have to be a high level hunter to join, we will have enough firepower for sure.
If you havent done a beacon before its a good idea to read the tutorials on entropiaforum.com

See you there!

A global to please me

2008-04-29T19:12:00.005Z

After hunting snarksnots for several days (weeks?) I finally got my kobold foot guards. I like the snarks though, they gave pretty good loot from time to time. Hunting snarks is so eco with no armor and just a CB5, you can easily hunt up to providers without any fapping (didn't found bigger ones in my area).
When I finally got my kobald foot guards, I dropped them into storage, stopped hunting those snarksnots and bought be a CB13. A CB13 is pretty eco, but the decay is huge, so the weapon won't last long but still a fair BLP rifle with a pretty good eco after all.
I started hunting bigger cornundacaudas, cause they were fun, gave a good return and I didn't need any fapping or armor...
But all of the sudden I realised that I hunted those snarksnots till extinction to move to my new target: Feffoids. Everybody is hunting them! They should give good loot! People hunt them for the Korss H400. So I gave them a try...
With my full kobold they were a piece of cake, and after a few dead species I got some swearlies. Hmmm... Nice ;)

Well, it's ok if you find this a piece of cake. But I like to blog them as my memory is leaking and this blog can hold it better :)

Trox Madness at Ft. Ithaca!

2008-04-15T21:22:00.013Z

by Curly Twist Bender

It was madness, I tell you!

For those of you who didn't hear about it, there was an atrox rampage at Ft. Ithaca. It was so severe that the troxes even ran past the turrets in massive numbers, swarming in on the poor inhabitants. If not for the bravery of the members of United Talents, it could have been a total tragedy.

But then again, members of United Talents also caused much of the devastation.

It started during a pleasant hunt in atrox territory S of Ithaca, when noted UT members Neo The-One Baan and Curly Twist Bender stumbled upon a herd of troxes bigger than anything they had ever seen. It was like lizard-cattle, with countless head of troxes waiting to be hunted. (Note the number of red mob markers on the radar at lower right).

Even at modest magnification through a rifle scope, the group was truly huge!

Neo and Curly knew this was what they had come for, and they carefully pulled small groups from the pack to lead them away to slaughter. As they ran low on ammo and thought about how dangerous this group could be, an idea was formed. They decided to lead a train of them to the turrets, and let the big guns finish off this dangerous group. Unfortunately, Neo started gathering the mob while Curly was preparing for a nice picture of the historic event. The pack hit Curly like a runaway train, and with one most unfortunately lucky critical hit, Curly fell. The picture was taken just after his death, with the rest of the train pursuing Neo.

Once Curly revived at Ithaca, he was able to warn the fair citizens about the incoming danger, and let brave hunters come to the south area to witness the slaughter by the turrets. Neo became visible as a mere speck to the south, one mark amidst a column of red dots trying to tear him apart. The atroxes were climbing over one another trying to catch the brave UT member, but he would not be denied in his rush to the Ithaca turrets. Curly shouted one last warning to the Ithaca citizens as the train rushed in.

Once in range, the twin turrets turned their deadly hum of ammo on the atrox hoard as Neo bolted past. To the surprise and horror of Neo, Curly, and all the good people in Fort Ithaca, the massive guns could not stop the scores of atrox from stampeding into the fort! Trox after trox collapsed at the base of the gun but three would pass for each one killed. Ithaca was being stormed! It would be a colossal slaughter of innocent lives! And quite possibly, UT would be blamed!

Thinking quickly, and with help of witnessing soc member Lilith, Neo and Curly distracted the train as it flooded in toward the booths and stores, and led them out the southern gates -- and back through the gunfire. For the many troxes who survived the first pass by the massive weapons, the second one would surely do them in -- and it worked.

In the end, the entrance to Fort Ithaca was strewn with atrox corpses (and the occasional exarosaur -- right side of picture -- that was caught in the feeding frenzy). Horribly damaged but still alive, Neo, Curly and Lilith stood among the carnage, and accepted many thanks for distracting the troxes by the guns. The people of Ithaca were safe, and nobody had to find out why the troxes came rushing the fort in the first place.

The dragon & the Bitch

2008-01-01T13:31:00.001Z

For anyone that thought I couldn't kill a big red dragon solo. I did it, and without the help of a donkey :D
It is quite a battle, to hunt one of the grotesk creatures that walk the face of Calypso. The struggle to find one in a sea of stone pillars; then the shooting and the running game can begin. the adrinalin pumping trough your system while you slowly gain terrain on it, just to turn around and put another round of ammo in the closing danger.

The nice thing is that even complete noobs like can get a shot at an ATH now. But far more important, it shows that persistence pays of, IRL and in EU. As long as you got a dream to hunt and a mind set for the conquer.
Let this be our motto for 2008
Happy new year socies

Alien hunting at CP

2007-12-17T20:10:00.000Z

Hi,
Here are some pics from my trip to CP to hunt aliens.
Aurlis are pretty ugly, but the domes are a nice exotic place when Calypso gets boring:

Hunting is expensive in decay. They hit a lot.
On the plus side I gain skills much quicker here than when hunting feffs at Camp Phoenix.
They also global pretty frequently.
Here are my globals so far from this trip:

Hope some of you can join me for some teamhunts. A few of us could probably hunt those Aurli Ravagers in dome 4. Can we kill Hogglo, Chompers and Falx it shouldnt be impossible.

If you can kill an Argonaut Hunter solo I think you can hunt here without getting too frustrated from dying.

I will be up here for a few more days.

Hope to see you in Space!

Schedule society events

2007-12-03T20:27:00.000Z

Hello UT-ers out there!

I just want to mention what should be the best way to publish your scheduled society events apart from this blog or the website/forum. On the society terminal Elivated members can change the "information"-box (marked with the red square). If you want to organise a society event put it there together with the MA time and date of the happening (see right side of the blog for MA-time info). An example could be "03-dec-07 - 23:00 MA time - Opalo hunt.". Anyway you are grown up to know how to anounce something ;) But I saw Teshik changing the information windows and thought it could be of more use!

Cheers,
VinzZ

Cheap Team Hunting

2007-11-02T12:18:00.000Z

I love doing team hunts.

I really enjoy doing anything that envolves other soc members. Tp running, Outpost rescues or just chatting at wolves.

The team spirit that we have in our soc really is what keeps me playing sometimes when loot is bad and money is tight.

So thanx for being there guys. i love you all

Here is a few screens from an opalo hunt we did a couple of weeks ago just to show that any of our members no matter how unskilled can still join in and have some fun.

Missing UT

2007-10-21T17:16:00.000Z

Heya all! Well I am sure Boney already told you all that my computer died. *cry
I have another pc at home which I am on right now however, it is not strong enough to run Entropia. I am building a new pc as we speak though, I have already gotten the motherboard and cpu in mail. And this week I ordered power supply, ram, harddrive, and dvd drive. I only lack vidcard monitor and case. I want my new computer to be portable however I will never buy another laptop, pieces of trash. I searched everywhere online for a replacement motherboard for my laptop and of course, they are nowhere to be found.....Which they do on purpose becouse if they sold replacement parts like that people would just fix their busted laptops instead of buying new ones!

Here is what I got so far =)

Motherboard

CPU

Ram

Harddrive

PowerSupply

DVD

And here is the vidcard I will buy next.

VidCard

I want it to be portable so I was thinking of putting it all inside a metal briefcase. Plus then a flat lcd monitor would also fit inside the case.

If I decide to just put it in a tower I will get a

Cube Case

And put it and monitor inside a backpack or something. I havent decided completely yet on what I will do.

Well I have been missing you guys and missing Entropia! I just thought I would give you guys an update on me.

Hopefully I will see you all again soon!

New Mad

2007-10-13T10:41:00.001Z

Thats my good old avatar. I think, VU9 brought a real improvement in graphics although it also brought some bad changes like the equip decay which in my eyes is nothing more than another way to take our peds. I must agree with Neo and many other players that the cheap armors gained a better look than the more expensive ones but i cant yet confirm that VU9 brought more crashes, i experienced none yet. On the other hand i think the new storage and inventory interfaces are a bad idea. Displaying all items in inventory makes it a little chaotic and confusing, although the items currently equipped are "blued out". It makes inventory look messy.
All in all i must say that VU9 brought a real increase in graphics but also some decrease in some parts of gameplay.

So here is new Mad now wearing Gremlin Armor and an Aurora Helmet. I think it looks quite cool and i really love the mirror effects of the armors.

Another question: What you guys think about a society forum? I think it would make discussions easier and would also improve activity in society. Well, tell me your thoughts about that.

VU 9.0

2007-10-10T10:59:00.000Z

Of course there is a lot of discussion on the Entropiaforum.com abou the VU, but i also want to start a private/soc discussion about the new look and feel of EU.

If i look at the picture of Vinzz, before and after, my impression is wauw he looks cool, like a real BOSS. IMO, i look a bit better, too. But my Phantom armor looks like an ugly wetsuit. The new taxes, the new inventory, storage, the dissapearance of the shortkeys when repairing weapons etc are a bit annoying. Also the crashes are irritating. What is your opinion???

It was real fun!

MadLion and the will of Fortuna

2007-09-20T17:36:00.000Z

Since i played Entropia I enjoyed it alot and even more since i joined the United Talents. Thanks also go out to my Mentor Patrick Pole Hyde who really introduced me to this game and helped me with any kind of question or problem. After about 3 months and shortly after completing my Discipleship Fortuna favored me with a nice Hunting-HoF.A Caudatergus Young (!) providing me with 2.6 kPEDs. Then i decided to put my focus on Ore-Mining. Except of 2 minor Globals my funds kept vanishing. EU went on like that for about 6 Months. Then I thought about starting mining EN-Matter to keep a basic funding by mining Nexus and sweating. I mined for about 3 weeks sporadically and then it happened. While checking my Nexus-Deposit I found it.

An Extremely Large (XIX) Nexus-Deposit. After drilling for hours decaying several drillers I had extracted all. Income is saved for next months.
In this place thanks go out to Jalia and Rene for providing me with drillers!

Let there be more HoFs like these! :)

United Talents team hunting Hof

.:| United Talents |:. 1st Anniversary

2007-09-04T17:35:00.000Z

Dear society members,

On the 17th of september United Talents celebrates its first anniversary. Therefore I have the idea to have some kind of ceremony for all our members.
On the 22th of september at 22:00 MA time I would like to see as many members online as possible. My idea is to get all together to Nymptown, and use to catwalk one by one to present ourselves. Imagine this: all society members are standing around the catwalk, and there you come on the red catwalk! Everybody claps his hands as you present yourself to all online members. A moment of glory, but more a moment of unity!

Please do spread the word about this. And lets try to get as many newbies to collect that TP. After that we can have a little party (dispite the beer) and do a teamhunt. As teamhunt I should suggest a powerfist-event. All members can participate and fun is guaranteed!

More suggestions welcome!
Cheers,
VinzZ

2007-08-31T17:40:00.000Z

Hey hey hey!

I'm not showing of a global, nor a HoF and neither an ATH... Not that don't want to ;) Many people have asked me why I don't deposit. As a "society leader" (what's in a name) I sometimes feel a bit of a scammer because I gather my PEDs together at the cost of others. I have being mining for a long time now, and almost every probe has been written down and been put in an Excel sheet. Twist knows that I am that fanatic to do that... With that knowledge I manage more and more to keep alive (ped-wise) easily. Also I know the market pretty well... I still do sweat sometimes but that only on my way to a mining place, or when bored and hunting Sabakumas. Here's a little sample of my notes ;)

Every single square is 100mx100m. This site contains Nexus, Light Liquid and (better less than more) sweetstuff.

Cheers!! And I love mining ;)

United Talents expansion?

2007-08-28T15:35:00.000Z

Greetings, society members! As I am sure some of you have heard, there are rumors about United Talents branching out and forming another society for recruits, with our main society standing as a group for training society graduates. The idea was first discussed this weekend, and a number of ideas were put forth. Here’s a little summary of what was mentioned, proposed, and put out for further discussion:

-- The training society would be called something like “United Talents Cadets” or something that implies it is a first-stage group (comments and suggestions are welcome). It would be run by one of the current members of United Talents. A couple of socies have already volunteered to head the new recruit soc, but others are welcome to put their name in to the contest.

-- There would be a fixed promotion requirement to move recruits up through the ranks. New cadets (pupils?) would get their first stripe once they found Wolverine Hope TP. After that, they would progress in line with their abilities. It has been suggested that rank be set on the following criteria for the cadet’s highest ability: 1-9 = first category, 10-19 = second category, 20-29 = third category, 30-39 = fourth category, 40+ is graduation to United Talents main group. Also, if the pupil chooses to perform many tasks and trains in a variety of skills and abilities, their rank could also be based on the average of their Strength, Intelligence, Agility and Psyche times two rather than highest single ability. Of course, this is all up for discussion, and soc members are invited to comment about whether this is too strict or too lenient.

We would also want to provide an incentive for people to want to ascend to the main United Talents soc rather than go freelance or start eyeing other societies. Of course, there are plenty of ways to do this, but it would help if we had a unified plan. One thought was for the higher soc to have a soc store that would be available for higher members to sell their crafted goods. Since I do not know the full details about store ownership, it would be an issue worth investigating. Being a formal mentor for the young cadets would be beneficial as well, and it would provide them with a mentor version item at the end and hopefully instill a little loyalty in them. Of course, they could go on our big hunts and so forth, but this is all up for negotiation. (I suggested that we occasionally hunt the cadets ourselves in a PvP for sport, but people didn’t think that was a great idea.)

Sorry to make everyone do all this reading, but we think this has a lot of potential. What we need right now is ideas and input. Once a bunch of thoughts are put together, we can vote on a solid plan and really expand our numbers. Of course, the top priority will still be to have a good time, but isn’t it more fun to have a good time with a few hundred of your best friends rather than just fifty?

Comment on this bit as soon as possible. I’m gonna go hunting morsilex now, but I will be looking for comments over the next couple of weeks.

They say you never forget your first time! Well, I've had a number of globals, but this was the first one I have ever captured in a screenie. There have been others where I have a pic of me just standing there, and some where the pic is just a black box that takes up 500K. But this one, my many soc-friends, has the sparkly halo, the loot, the location, and the reminder that I had just taken a hit for 61 points of damage (I hate red-colored hits). Irt even shows the area on the map (in Amethera, so if anyone wants to rush over there and see if there are a few more Mature Atroxes running around just dripping with body oil, go ahead.

Unfortunately, I cannot show you a screenie of a mining tower, a HoF or an ATH. I will post those firsts if they ever come up. Here's hoping!!!

Curly Twist Bender

A "Twist"ed socie sez hello!

2007-08-14T18:59:00.001Z

Hello.

Okay, there's more than that. During the summer, our society has endured two major events. First, our numbers have grown rapidly, and we are quickly becoming a force to be reckoned with (at least around Wolverine Hope). Second, the European summer has meant that a lot of people are on holiday and will not be back until later, which means they will have a lot of new faces to see and avis to meet. On that note, let me be the first to introduce myself to all new socies and remind the old folks who I am.

Most people know me as Twist, but the full name is Curly Twist Bender. I am one of the resident tailors in the soc, as well as a reasonable miner -- not as good as Beni, but who is? I moved to this world over a year ago, and would be more than glad to help out new members and hunt with the older ones. I am from the USA, so I only speak American -- please do not hold that against me.

I would also like to get some comments on whether anyone would be interested in a fist-hunt in a few weeks. I was thinking Stalkers and Prowlers -- things that loot nicely -- and I know a very convenient place where we can do some armor-free fist-fighting. Who's interested? Comment with what times of the weekend are good or bad.

Oh...by the way...if you want to know what mob we can hunt Stalkers and Prowlers, here's my recommendation:

Just a thought. I will make more plans once our proud socies start commenting.

23k Uberloot for Neo and UT.

2007-06-11T11:00:00.000Z

K. After all that crafting and spamming the chatwindow with oreamp globals, all the gratzes you guys gave me. It was MY time to Uberloot. No EU ATH:(, but it sure is a personal ATH, 23k for a Sword.......what the hell.

Still can't really believe it, ...............

Powerfisting Event

2007-05-08T10:23:00.000Z

Hello Folks,

I would like to schedule a society event for saturday 19 may - 21:00h MA time.
What do you need: TT Powerfist, no armor. No one should use ranged weapons as this is very annoying during melee hunting.
We already did an event like this and killing big armaxes is no problem if we are with enough people. Members who like to participate please post a comment, because a team can only consist of 12 members.
Fun is guaranteed! Spread the word.

Ok, if you checked society terminal, you will see that we don't have ANY junior recruit anymore. Most are promoted some are booted. So it's time to recruit some new members again... Try to figure out age before and please no 0-days people, if they played a few weeks that's ok. Newbies are fun!

Cheers,
VinzZ

Sorry Peter

2007-05-04T16:55:00.000Z

While out hunting Troxies this afternoon with Peter a Global came our way. Unfortunately as the screenshot shows we were being ganged up on at the time and shooting different mobs.

Sorry pete for taking all the loot.

Saturday Beacon invitation

2007-04-27T19:05:00.000Z

Hi all,

I think its time to do a beacon run again :)
I have a becon ready to use.
I im planning it for Saturday April 28, 20.00 MA time. Thats 22.00 Eurotime i think .
You are all invited. I think a mission can take 12 members so there is plenty of room.

Hope that time works for many of you. If not we might have to reschedule.

Its the easiest beacon so all should be able to come.
Some tips:

Make sure you have as good as possible burn and penetration protection and fap. We must try to stay alive.
Not all have to fight drones. Some are needed to run and open boxes. So you dont have to be a good hunter.
The mission starts from north of Aegis mound. Make sure you have that tp.
Read Pinkys beacon guide at http://www.entropiaforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=31839.
Its a big help if you print out the maps on http://www.pe-wiki.info/Gallery.aspx?image=514 so we all now where the boxes are.

See you there :)

2007-04-24T14:37:00.000Z

So after a nice weekend (2 team globals on ambus and one on a argo) I kicked of monday with a little bad return hunting. Today however I went solo, trying to get something nice, and being a little nostalic I went to the place where I looted my first amp (an A102), but the loot really really sucked there, so I returned to argus because the atrox south looked too mean to me. I blasted of some snarksnots and exas to get to lvl17 lasersniper, when I got glowies on a snarksnot, so I think, hey I'll even do a little profit (already burned 4k with my breer); but when I looked closer I saw this:

Too pitty, only beni was online at that time, but hey, the most important thing is I not only got my first hunting HoF, but I broke the 1k border :)))
And to say that I was already happy cause I got a phonecall from a company to whom I send a letter, they needed someone desperatly :)
So with some luck (99% sure) I'll have work at 2km from my doorstep (temperarily ofc), wich means I wont even have time to blow away that 2.5k peds :D

Weekend Bot Fun

2007-04-16T03:45:00.000Z

Hihi! I figured I would try to post on the blog =) So here are some pics of the globals gotten this weekend on bots!

The pictures are in reverse order from how I got them, my noobness in blog posting =)

The first one, Twist and I were in party together.. The second and third were when Slayer and I were teamed up., And the last one, I was alone.

It was alot of fun! Bots are fun to hunt!
Till next time,

Society Video

2007-04-05T01:32:00.001Z

Hi. I have been very busy lately takeing screenshots for a society slideshow. This was going quite well when i thought why stop there, why not go all out and make a video. So after much playing around and alot of frustration i have now got all the software (and finally worked out how to use it).

Thats the hard bit over so now comes the fun part I NEED LOADS OF FOOTAGE.
anyone who wants to be in it please contact me ingame or by e-mail teshik@hotmail.co.uk
or leave a comment and we can get together to sweat, hunt, mine or even parade your costumes on the catwalk near Nymphtown. Now come on dont be shy I know you all like to show off at times. Any ideas are welcome.

I want to make this fun so all help is apreciated.

Society Info

2007-03-27T14:42:00.000Z

Hey hey! I am still at work so I have a little time to write some words for the blog ;)
This weekend I got me a full set of BoduGuard armor. Peter Slayer crafted 3 parts of it, the rest I had already from auction. (Thanks Peter for this!). I really like the armor for its design. Some people may find it crazy to buy armor that protects like Settler and call it a waste of money because you can't use it. Until I say what can you do with a GemBustier? LOL.
Anyway MissEviL bough a full set too, because it fitted her eyes. :)) And I know Caramon is buying a full set too. It is only a lvl1 crafted armor doesnt cost a thing, but it must be fun to be armored like that and go to Twins :) And doing some eco-sochunt with equal weapons. I know, I always talk about eco sochunting, but that is because I am not a hunter and don't want to waste peds on hunting that much.

OK, as Quentin said below, our society is growing. I personally like a big society, but it may not grow that fast so people don't know eachother anymore. That's should be the start of the decay. Last weekend I rejected a Junior Recruit, and only based on his age: 16 years, to young to join. People who are in and are young don't risk to be booted ;)

Some rules before adding people to our society:

1. Try to figure out their age. 21 should be the minimum age.
2. They should be playing already for a certain time. 1 day people are not allowed.
3. Don't recruit your own disciples until you know he/she's gonna last.
4. Childish/Beggars/Rude people try to avoid them in our soc, the only thing they can give our society is damage.

All members know that our mainbase is Wolverine Hope. Unfortunately I only see little socpeople there: Acronoid, Teshik, Caramon,...
Maybe our mainbase isn't good for you all, no problem, we can pick a new location. But it would be so much fun to see more people of our society at auction, and in one place. It is also VERY good for our society to be seen. So we need a mainbase to log off, use auction, storage, buy ammo, etc... It needs to be a little distant too for new people to have their first goal to make: reaching our homebase, and getting their first promotion.

Last thing, as it is nearly 17.00h and I go home then:
PLEASE DO FILL IN YOUR LATEST ACTIVE MONTH EVRY MONTH AT A SOCIETY TERMINAL. IF NOT YOU CAN BE DEMOTED!

bibi, tata, slukes, and bye!
-VinzZ

I'm not an unreasonable person, just crazy...

2007-03-27T13:09:00.000Z

Hello my dear soccies,

Our soc is growing and doing very well, both due to the great people and the blessing of Lootius. If you don't know what I mean, than read the HoF posts below!!! (and if you didn't know you we great people, just trust me on that one;)
Now I am very happy for all these people and as VinzZ can confirm, I have nothing to complain either. But there is something missing which I want really badly. I want to break the 4k HG skill barrier. Now don't go thinking that this is a minor thing, because as long as I believe in this goal, I will kill to get there:) Some of you already know that I bought a Karma Killer. Mostly because it has a cool name, but also since I am getting pretty tired of battling others at the auction for the overpriced korsses. Now eco sux monkey balls at my skill level, so I have decided to skill up a lot. The plan forsees me climbing from 3600 to 4k HG THIS WEEK. Oh yes, you read correctly, this dude is going to sacrifice his eyes, fingers and social life in order to reach this goal.

Update:
Sometimes EU appears to be a living entity and a cruel one at that. When I was just playing at random, I was getting globals like there was no tomorrow and I almost felt sorry for everyone else;) But now that I have a goal in 'life', the loot has disappeared like water in a desert. Now I am not talking about not getting globals - that is perfectly ok - I am talking about getting loot 1 in 10 times! That implies a return of about 7% for me... Guess what that does to my precious ped-card balance! For clearity, I tried relogging multiple times and hunted longus, argos, atrax, atrox, drones, molisks, feffoids, estophyls and those ratched chickens with different weapons, but to no avail. *please imagine some horrible Dutch curses* So I have skilled up from 3600 to 3674 - sweet - but my patience with the loot policy is wearing thin. Perhaps I should go mining a bit, I'm sure I will get a big-ass HoF in no-time;) Than again, it would most certainly be growth molecules and I have been assured those are only good for shit:)
I feel relieved now... Who knows, maybe Magnus the balancing manager takes pity on me and lets me loot an ancient improved nailpolish kit (L).

Wish me good luck and good loot. I'll try to spam some globals while I am at it;)

Cheers,
Quentin

p.s. Yes, I was bored waiting for my job to get processed, so I went ahead and wrote this nice little post...bite me;)

2007-03-22T11:41:00.000Z

OMFG, yesterday evening i was a bit drunk and frustrated so i burned away my pedcard with manufacturing Oreamp 101's. Had a few manu-globals, some better than others. But at the end i was bankcrupt, so i started hunting and a bit of mining to blow-off some steam. And after a few bombs, i hit the jackpot and got my money back, lol! My biggest HOF ever!! THANX UT, and ma.

p.s. with an oreminer 102 it takes a hell of a long time to mine 2,2k Peds in Belkar. Still have 75% to go....

2nd HOF since i joined UT

2007-03-02T10:07:00.000Z

My second HOF. Just one item....a modified Korss400(L), but what an expensive one. At first i didn't realise, i thought it was a crapy EWE EP 21 Defender and the golden twirlies were because of a new skillgain or s.th.... But my god it was a HOF, and my highest loot ever. Very strange such a HOF, with just a low conditioned handgun.... ANYWAY THANX UT and THANX MA..

Knyx's Greasy Atrax HOF

2007-02-18T17:30:00.000Z

I never thought I'd hit a large HOF, so this one for 7736 peds, came as a huge surprise! I've titled it the "Greasy Atrax HOF" because I got 7700+ peds in Animal Adrenal Gland Oil.

This is only the third time I've been to CND, and came up yesterday after winning an auction for an apartment.....and to stalk Beni ;o).

Just prior to this HOF I had two globals, one for mining and the other for hunting. Immediately after this HOF, I got another global in mining.....so needless to say.....it's been a good day!

Three globals and a uber HOF (for me anyway) in two hours is unbelievable, and all owed to my large, but magic, derriere.

Lyst tower update

2007-02-18T14:57:00.000Z

After 24 hours of processing, the HoF and the tower looked like this:
When I activated it I got all this with one click.

No mining needed. There will be a second, smaller batch in 24 hours.
I found this XXIII with a maxed out OF-211(L) at a depth of 332 meters.

2007-02-18T12:13:00.000Z

Thanks to Lakerin for this one.
When he globalled on Allophyl I thought I haven`t hunted them in a while so i gave it a go and 40 minuits later 119ped Global. No items just oil but all is welcome.

No screenie as PEAss not running

Gratz! to Lak and Thanks

Lyst Tower!

2007-02-17T11:14:00.000Z

I finally got very lucky with my mining and found a lot of Lyst.
Towers are strange, I cant mine it but have to wait 24 hours before "the first batch is processed" - whatever that means.

This proves also a newbie miner can get lucky. I have just 400-550 levels in my mining skills.
Now I have to find a lot of oil to turn all this lyst into basic filters :)

I had some problems to get the screenshots I pasted into Word into jpgs for the blog but here is one I took a bit later.Now I can finally afford to upgrade my fap-50 :)

Society Hunt 3 feb 2007

2007-02-03T23:46:00.000Z

We had a sochunt at saturday 3 feb 2007. Many problems to descide what TP we could use because some people missed some of the tp's we would like to kick off. Anyway the hunt was fun: we started from Atlas haven, to Tethys Creek and then headed to Hadesheim West. The last part was the most fun with some big mobs like Snarg Guardians. But everyone survived and we even globaled. A picture of the global, I thought that I had a picture with swirlies, but i was wrong, anyway it is a sweet souvenir ;) I didn't took a big share of the global (i believe it was a 56ped global or so).

Sorry to some folks that didnt coop in the sochunt. We'll do this again and then we HOF ;)
Also a warm welcome to Trip13 and Raiszir, two rather new members who joined the hunt.

See ya all in Entropia

By the way, at the moment of writing Acronoid has rejoined our society. She left again to feel she misses us too much :)

First of all A HAPPY 2007 to all members of United Talents and may Lootious bless you all the year.

Our Blogsystem has been update with the latest version of Blogger (it should contain some extra functions now). It is possible you need a gmail-account to access the blog again (not sure). If you need a gmail account I can invite you, just send an email to: Vince.VinzZ.Zyon@gmail.com.

I'm waiting for the screenshots that Acronoid took at our Beacon Mission :)

Member info:
May I ask everone to update his info (latest active month) at the society terminal.
4 members are kicked lately during inactivity and not filling in their info. I don't mind that you take a nap for a month or three or even more, but please put it in your info so everyone can read that.
For that reason SoothingMist has been demoted of not filling in his info, so if anyone of you sees him around ask him to do that and if you are capable of promoting him again, then do so.

As four of our members were kicked, we are in search of some newbies or if possible more talented people to join our crew. Four new people would be ideal. If they reach Wolverine and fill in the desired info you are granted to promote that person.

Also a big welcome to Crea for joining our society. He was a member of our formerly Hunters Klan soc, therefor he got the same rank as he had there. Do not feel offended by this.

Cheers!!

Beacon Mission Update

2006-12-28T15:21:00.000Z

I have decided to run the Mission on Saturday 30th @ 20:00 MA time.
The position for the beacon is:-

I think it would be best if we meet at Omegatron West TP and run down as a team. Anyone who does not have this TP please contact me and I will do a TP run.

As some of you know I have bought a 23ped robot beacon as my Christmas present to the society.

I would like us to use it over the christmas holiday for a big soc event.
This is an easy mission so all our members that would like to join in are most welcome. We dont just need fighters we need ppl to open boxes for loot.

I know some of you have to work so if you want to go e-mail me teshik@hotmail.co.uk or post a comment with when it is not good to go i will try to organize it when it is good for everyone.

My "Twist" on Mining -- Pt. 2

2006-11-29T16:14:00.000Z

Apparently there has been considerable interest in this mining situation, so allow me to elaborate on the unfinished problem along with Psycho's contribution.

First, let me apologize for my tardiness in the reply. I had to apologize to Acro first, and she demanded a weekend-long foot massage from me. Hopefully we're on good terms now, so I can continue with the mining matter at hand.

By using the example given, in simple-to-use 50 meter terms, the whole mystery is unlocked by creating some triangles within key functional areas and recruiting that fine man Pythagoreas to get to work. the key areas are as follows -- remembering that in this example, 50 meters is the standard.

While this may look odd, weird, cumbersome, and the opposite of entertaining, all this really boils down to is a long explanation that becomes a simple set of measurements. While Psycho utilized cosines and so forth, the real beauty of this grid exists in the component triangles being made up of 30, 60 and 90-degree angles. The ratios for the respective sides were again nicely assessed by Pythagoreas, with one side being half the hypotenuse, and the other side being the length of the shortest side times the square root of 3. After a few manipulations, we come up with the measurements necessary to solve the question of how far N and how far E. Psycho, you may check my work:

Now that there are numbers for this situation, the application is actually quite simple (as seen below). For any area being searched (assuming the first bomb/probe is empty), the next one should be 75 meters north and 43.3 meters east (assuming that things start in the southwest corner of the area), with the third drop being 75 meters south (the same latitude as the first) and a further 43.3 meters to the east. Once that is done, the process is repeated over and over and over for as long as you care to go. And of course, this pattern repeats in a north/south way with good regularity.

Now, when applying this to your own personal range, the measurements will come out slightly different unless your range just happens to be precisely 50 meters. In my case it is about 55 meters, while Beni's range is probably beyond man's understanding. But for whatever the personal range may be, there are simple ways to input that figure into an equation and get a sweet result that's easy to work with. Psycho has provided one means to do it, and below I am providing another way to quickly gather those numbers.

If my calculations are correct (Psycho...), this will provide a convenient way to at least map out a area or suspect patch of territory. And yes, VinzZ is right in saying that multiple bombs/probes on an empty spot will all fail -- so keep an eye out for someone mapping out a territory you are trying to map as well. A nice comfy spot far away from civilization and other miners will do nicely.

In a subsequent article I will do a little expanding on questions about the necessity of overlap and on how to incorporate finds into a territory map. this is something that VinzZ knows about as well, so ask him if I haven't blogged it (great minds think alike). Until then, bombs away!!!
