1st Anniversary Party

Very quick blog update with some pictures!

It was real fun!

MadLion and the will of Fortuna

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

Here are some screenshots from our night out to invade the umbranoid camps. Mission was accomplished and loot was good for once with two globals and this rare (for us) team hunting HoF.

Update: Just when that Hof disapeared I got my first solo hunting HoF in 14 months :)

.:| United Talents |:. 1st Anniversary

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

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?

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.

My First Global (picture, that is)!

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!!!

A "Twist"ed socie sez hello!

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.

Hi all,

I can not log in to my account for a long time . Are you all ok? I miss you guys.:)

23k Uberloot for Neo and UT.

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, ...............

CYA Online!

Powerfisting Event

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

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

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 :)

OMG, I won't have time to even blow those 2.5k peds, I got a JOB :D

Your deity in nivanic state of euphoria
Acronoid

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

Greetings,

One sad gaming junkie....

Hi all,

For those who noticed I have not been online for a while I just want to explain that it is due to my laptop being broken, fixed for 1 day and then broke again. This is hell for me.

Hope to see you all soon,
Quentin

Weekend Bot Fun

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

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.

Regards

Tesh

Society Info

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!

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

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;)
