We need more ClOp turnout!

I know that the holidays are here and family members you don't like have descended upon you to pressure you into eating yams but we could have used a couple more good players over the weekend. That said the Clan Op this weekend ran smoothly (the one we WERE entered in, ahem, JiaJohn, ahem).

In an interesting change of pace and despite the fact I had a temperature of 102 yesterday I bucked up and led the pony nation to victory with 562 kills, meanwhile I Neospectre I would earn 496 kills after missing 15 minutes of the Op due to stuffing his face (we think). ForsakenGenesis, ThreaT Illusion, DestroyedMetal and VikingRunesmith were all game for holiday destruction and rounded off our scoring players list, that said only 17 ponies were active last night and half of those scored under 100 kills.

Next week still being designated party time it is foolish to expect a direct boost to turnout however after all the festivities and glitter and public drunkenness has subsided can we all attempt to be present, we have more than 6 great players and we can get overall wins and upset the tryhards! Again, I was at 102 yesterday and still put up muchos murderas. I leave you with a special video, where I use the biggest weapon in CoDs history.... It's on the kill feed!

Until then this is your Boastmaster General, Show-Off, Show-Stealer, SpecOps Scootaloo, SMG Sucker-Puncher and the best damn thing to happen to CoD Multiplayer since the banning of Braile on Hijacked.

Friday Moment of Zen BlOps 2 Edition

I wanted to bring this back, so if anypony has a video they would like to share send it to me.

Draw Something

Hey, does anyone else have Draw Something? I'm Wharrrrrrgarbl there, too.

My desk!

JiaJohn's cutie mark!

Team Deathmatch, 12-16-2012

Pretty impressive performance - 22 of 24456 means a performance in the top 0.1%. Another big round of applause for | NeoSpectre |, and a slightly smaller, but equally validating one for our 20 team killers! I mean, like they kill as a team. Not like they get booted a lot.

Kill Confirmed 12-15-2012

Nice job, everyone! We had a pretty strong performance, not to mention that | NeoSpectre | is a total beast. He was running alone, for the record.

Looks like BlOps ClOps are starting to get a similar number of participants to MW3 ClOps, so we have our work cut out for us.

On that subject, the redesign of Elite has made lots of things less convenient to check, but please keep an eye out for operation dates and times. I bring this up because when this one started, there were a number of clan members who were online and playing, just not anything related to the op. Obviously, if you hate Kill Confirmed, we're not going to force you to play it, but if it's a matter of thinking that it doesn't matter if you play because someone else will get gold for us, well, you saw how that worked out last week. Anyway, shouts out to all 23 members who were on the leaderboard, and I hope to see even more names tomorrow!

Emblems 101: Snouts, Grins, and Masking

So, you may recall the simple, 5-shape silhouette I showed in the first installment of this series. Let's see how we can do a little more with it.

Emblems 097: Lesson 2, Eyes

So, in our last installment, we saw how you can make a passable pony silhouette with just a few layers. Eyes, unfortunately, take rather more layers, mainly because there aren't any good ways I know of to do the iris/pupil/light reflex complex in fewer than three layers. This means that each eye on a round-eyed pony will take 4 layers, minimum, and probably more like 5 or 6 once you put on eyelashes. That is, the eyes on a pony with both eyes open and visible will be roughly a third of your layers. But, let's save the details for after the jump.

You guys ready to see my mother's naked legs?

Huzzah! A Pony Party!

That's all I have, stay safe and kick ass Pony Nation! Oh and look at my Scootaloo emblem!

This is it Boys, This is ClOps!

Well, clan op is Saturday at 1PM EST, but we're too tired to organize it. So get on if you like and get a medal, but we're not planning anything crazy.

MLP . . . For the Win?

Yay Fluttershy commented on his disappointment that we were only 14th in the kill confirmed clan op. This pleases me.

"But John, what's so great about Yay Fluttershy being an incorrigible curmudgeon?" 

LET ME TELL YOU! I've heard a lot of sentiment like this, and it shows me that the [Pony] clan still has the will to push ourselves and go for top marks in clan ops. So I'm proposing that we go for another kill confirmed clan op win . . . whenever the hell the next KC ClOp is. 

Now I'm sure everyone reads this blog religiously, but just in case, I'll be asking around the clan personally to gauge the level of interest in this next endeavor and to start putting together parties. We've got 89 people in the clan and I've seen as many as 40 at a time on, so I don't think we'll have too terrible of a time putting this together. Comment on this post, send me a message, post on our clan page on Elite. Just let me know what your position is, bronies.

Previously, we didn't have a good idea of who was willing to participate, so this time I'm just plopping everyone's names down. Remember, we don't even know when the next KC is yet so I'm not trying to put parties together or anything. This is just a list of everyone so far who is ready, able and willing to play 3 solid hours in pursuit of a [Champion's Badge].

I NeoSpectre I                Guitar Buddha                 Wharrrrrrgarble                JiaJohn
VikingRunesmith          Yay Fluttershy                 Odd Tevin                            Ridiculous Pony

JiaJohn out. 

P.S. Thank you Yay Fluttershy for being so gracious as to let me use you as an example. 

12-2-12 Kill Confirmed

Nice job guys, we pulled 14th out of 6,500 clans. Our clan-fu is clearly still strong. Our top 6 this time were I NeoSpectre I (again!), JiaJohn, Marsbringer, Ridiculous Pony, Yay Fluttershy and Vorpal Renegade. Thanks to everyone who helped us pull a solid gold medal. Here's the top 10.

Other clans will be better organized for next week so we can expect some stiffer competition, but we did fantastic this week and we should all feel warm and fuzzy inside.

And We're Off!

We took 8th place out of over 3000 clans! Not a bad way to earn our first gold award. Thanks to everyone who participated and special congrats to our high scorer I NeoSpectre I. Here's the rest of the top 10, so that we may lavish them with praise and adulation:

You may have noticed that the actual page on Elite doesn't show any names - I took the liberty of identifying the top 10 because the system completely lost its mind - it's using everyone's Black Ops 1 emblems and actually replaced some peoples' names with others. The best part is that despite such short notice, we had 30 people play, 20 of whom had at least 100 kills. Overall, we had 4,824 kills. Not bad, [Pony] clan.

Tomorrow there will be another clan op tomorrow in our once-favorite game mode, Kill Confirmed. Games start at 5PM EST. Monday there's another team deathmatch clan op at noon EST.

Lastly, I'd just like to thank everyone again for the great turnout, and to remind everyone of our core goals: to spread love, tolerance and the pursuit of a good game, and to have everyone earn diamond encrusted gear so that we may be the bronies of the Crystal Empire.

JiaJohn out.

Some semi-random BlOps II thoughts

1. I <3 emblems. Also, Rugged Savior has a thread going in the forums if you'd like to show off somewhere more public than the clan blog. Finally, I have a post in progress on making eyes, so hopefully that will be up in the near future.
http://community.callofduty.com/message/413615581

2. Everyone needs to get emblems on riot shields or you're out of the clan.

PS mars please back me up on this

3. Holy moly, select fire FAL is awesome.

4. Black hats are also awesome.

Anything you guys have noticed is awesome? Post in the comments!

Custom Background Tutorial Step-by-Step

Today, I'm giving you guys a tutorial on how to make your own custom background on Xbox. Some of you might already know how to do this but some clan members don't. This way is more easier than trying to download a program to make it work on your Xbox, so this a very good way to save space on your computer.

Here's a background for our Dear Leader.

The Tutorial is after the break.

Pony Background for your Xbox

Eeyup that's my background, I will give a short tutorial on how to do this later on tonight or tomorrow. More Backgrounds after the break.

Emblems 097: Lesson 1, Heads

So, got some feedback about my last emblem post which suggested that maybe some remedial emblem education is in order. Lesson one is after the jump.

BlOps II Emblem Primer

So, I've had a number of compliments on my playercard emblems (Thanks! I'm flattered), and also a number of requests for instructions on how to make your own. This is going to be long, with lots of pictures, so if you're interested, CLICKY CLICKY.

We're on the eve of Black Clops... Sorry, Black Ops II.

Yes everypony, whilst we are still basking in the delightfulness that is MLP Season 3 dropping (how delightful was diamond Rarity?) we must break out of the cuteness bubble, tomorrow Black Ops II is dropping, I'm sure many a pony has their pre-orders set and will fight the rush tomorrow to collect their copy. This is just a reminder that some of us like to enjoy the storyline of the series, I certainly will be playing the campaign (on a low difficult to expediate the process) before eeven attemping Multiplayer, let's try not to oops any spoilers too soon then, for ponykind!

Multiplayer is of course a different subject, assuming it rolls over I'm calling for MarsBringer, our fabulous leader, to hit the switch on the Pony Clans 8 hours of glorious Double XP as soon as possible so that we may collect all the shooty bangy war trinkets before anyone else and cement ourselves as one of the top clans, I wish everypony a speedy rank up process and that you may find custom classes that suit your playstyles, even DI5C0RD and his er... effectively annoying style.

I shall chat with you all soon, parties are always encouraged! Two ponies spread more love and death than just one! Here's to at least another year of killing high-pitched children! FOR CELESTIA!

My Little Pony iOS Game

So,  I downloaded it and it's basically Farmville with ponies. That said, anyone else with an iPod Touch/iPhone/iPad out there who wants to add me? I am Wharrrrrrgarbl there, too.

Highlights so far: Purple pony is undeniably best pony, and therefore gains experience twelve times faster than any other pony. Also, there is an altar where you can make sacrifices to Pinkie Pie.

Poooonnnnyyyyyyy.

hay guys, go check out the Mechromancer's skill tree.

Well Poop.

Not enough people signed up for the Juggernaut race, so we'll be postponing it. Perhaps when Black Ops 2 comes out we'll have renewed interest in clan activities!

yesssssssss

CLICKY

Evidently Wharrrrrrgarbl hates making things painfully simple, so I'll do it for him. Click this link, place your name somewhere. Simple. You're now entered in the Juggernaut races, which start at noon, this Saturday. Winning team gets 800MS points each. <3.

 CLICK HERE OR BABY CELESTIA WILL CRY

P.S. To my doktorologyst homeboys, does anyone else think "Multiple Sclerosis Points?"

Sign Up For Juggernaut Races!

Only three days left before the juggernaut races! If you have a team of four, sign yourselves up here:

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AkldX6ZzkkqddGVQaXBIODhXV09LZmp2YWQ4WE4zdWc

If you're going solo, get your videos and screenshots into the comments of this post or the original post! We're having the tournament and judging on Saturday, so midnight Friday is the deadline to get your solo entries submitted.

Note for teams: we have to have teams of four. It's not fair for one team to go for four juggernauts while the other only has to get two, and we also need full lobbies to keep out greenbros. Hope to see lots of us soon!

Is this dubstep?

Announcing the First Decenniel Juggernaut Races!

 

Howdy, y'all! So, here's the competition I mentioned a bit ago: JUGGERNAUT RACES! There will be three separate races, with separate prizes:

1) Individual Recon: Who can get the fastest Juggernaut Recon in a public match? In the comments to this post, show us a screenshot in the theatre when the Juggernaut Recon icon appears, either overhead in the HUD or down by your unlocked pointstreaks! We'll use the time remaining to calculate how early in the match it happened. If you play hardcore, you're kinda out of luck, I guess? Maybe two screenshots, one of the award, and one immediately after of the scoreboard/timer? Anyway, KEEP THE VIDEO YOUR SCREENSHOT IS FROM IN YOUR THEATRE SO WE CAN VERIFY YOUR GLORIOUS VICTORY. We'll review everything on Saturday, Oct. 6th, so have your comment ready by then!

2) Individual Assault: Same rules as above, except that if you don't get it on your first life, you can screencap from a later one: take two screenshots, one from the 3rd person perspective of you dying, and one when you get the award. We'll compare timestamps to calculate your time. Again, KEEP THE VIDEO YOUR SCREENSHOT IS FROM IN YOUR THEATRE SO WE CAN VERIFY YOUR GLORIOUS VICTORY.

3) Team Juggernaut Races: So, this one is a little different. Depending on interest, we will have either a single elimination, double elimination, or round robin tournament to determine the winners among several teams of 4. Each match will consist of a ground war lobby with 9 players - 2 competing teams of 4 and one referee. Whichever team gets all 4 of their members into Juggernaut suits (Recon or Assault, doesn't matter) first wins! If neither team manages to get all 4 Juggernauts, there will be a tiebreaker round where the first person to call in (NOT EARN, CALL IN) a juggernaut wins the game for his or her team. The referee will save the video to his or her file share and review it immediately after the match to determine the winning team (not necessary for a tiebreaker, where the name will pop up onscreen). This tournament will start at noon on Saturday, Oct. 6th (unless that time doesn't work for a lot of people, I'm flexible), so get your teams together and mark your calendars! YOU HAVE TO ENTER YOUR TEAM ON THIS GOOGLE DOC SO THAT I CAN ORGANIZE BRACKETS/ROUND ROBIN SCHEDULES. IF YOU DON'T, YOU WILL NOT BE IN THE RACE.

"Whatever, chump, what about the PRIZES???"

The winners of the individual juggernaut races will each receive a code for 800 Microsoft points!

Each member of the winning juggernaut team will also receive a code for 800 Microsoft points!

SHOW US YOUR SWAG. WHO IS THE IRON PONY?

One last thing, every entrant has to be a clan member, rocking his or her [Pony] tag for the competition. Ponies only, I'm not giving money to dragons or changelings or some shit.

UPDATE: Winners will be eligible for only one prize each. It's not as fun if one person takes home half the prizes.

Season 3 /)^3^(\

According to the Hub, we are 29 days away from announcing the premiere date/time of season 3. Doing some calender research, October 21st is the day of the announcement.

EQD Post (Yes, it says 30 but now its 29):http://www.equestriadaily.com/2012/09/30-days-away-from-season-3-announcement.html

Quick Question

I've been thinking about a possible clan contest, but there's one question mark regarding the prize: I have heard that xBox Live point codes are region locked, so if, say, one of our British members won, they may not be able to claim a code that I purchased here in the US.

I guess I'll also take the opportunity to ask how many of us would be interested in such a competition? I'm keeping the specifics secret for now, but it would have three prizes: two for individuals, and one split four ways for a team.

CM stands for Camper Murderer.

Good News (Update)

Well everypony, I have to say that I'm going to attempt to make a clan montage with the Digital Media Career Area at my school. But before I can start making it, I need some help on what music to use,what footage to use, what type of theme I should. I have a few song suggestions but If anyone of you guys have a suggestion, post a comment. The whole thing should be finished by Winter. Choice made Brony music with Electro/Dub.

Good God, I want to lick the Kel-Tec Sub-2000

Why conduct matters

I sometimes worry that I'm annoying people by banging the 'PLEASE BEHAVE' drum so frequently, but if you want an idea of why I think this stuff is important, read this post and this comment. It's not enough to understand that most people are decent human beings who don't mean to unjustly slander groups of people; there are many, many horrible assholes who DO have odious beliefs and who take our silence, or our unthinking use of racist/sexist/whatever insults as validation of their beliefs and behavior. Nobody's perfect, and we live and game in a culture that constantly normalizes racist, sexist, etc. behavior, but this is why it's important to push back.

I wish I had the money for this

Everybody's always hatin' on the KSG, but my god, Kel-Tec's guns are awesome. I really want the Sub-2000 in BlOps 2 as an endgame 'pistol' secondary. Probably not gonna happen. :(

You guys have any guns you wish were in CoD?

Back up Clan

Eventually, I will make blog for that but I made this clan for the people who want to join this clan and actually want to join a clan not go for emblems and titles.

ClOp Organization Update

Hey everypony I'm trying my best to organize for the two upcoming ClOps and I need more people. I need a total of 36 players plus a few backups for those who can't make it, so it would help if you guys message me by Thursday night; so I can spend all day Friday getting the teams together. Also remember if you do have a problem, still make sure to message me by Thursday night, so on and so on. I forgot to say that we only 10 active players and I need 26 more.
Also remember, "Teamwork is the key to Love,Tolerate,and Friendship " ~Ridiculous Pony.

Found this on Canterlot.com

Team Defender

Team Defender

Objective: In Team Defender, each side fights for possession of a points-boosting flag, dropped by the first player to get taken out in the match. The first player to grab the flag grants a 2x point bonus to their entire team. Every kill scores 100 points, while the other team scores only 50 per kill. If the player carrying the flag is downed, the flag drops and is up for grabs. The first team to secure 7500 points or end the match with the highest point value wins.

Details: A game all about teamwork and defense, if the enemy has the flag you must all work together to gain the flag back. If you (in this case, the team) have the flag, obviously you still need to be a team to protect the flag carrier; if you are rushing to protect the flag carrier be careful. The spawns tend to flip if you run into enemy terroritory and it will spawn flip them behind you, causing rage.

Killstreaks: Support: Defense:

1: UAV- To locate the enemies, so they won’t kill the flag carrier and to also keep the streak going for other defense members.

2: Ballistic Vest: One of the key Killstreaks to have in Team Defender because it keeps you, your teammates, and the flag carrier alive longer. Also to help you survive explosives.

3: Recon Drone:  This is also a key killstreak and a XP machine; you guys know already what the recon drone does.

Flag Carrier:

1: UAV- Look at Defense

2: Ballistic Vest- Look at Defense

3: Recon Jug- Can make you an indestructible flag carrier, just don’t run into groups of enemies.

Assault:

Defense: Whatever gets you kills

Flag Carrier: Can try going for an assault jug but same as defense anything you want.

Specialist:

Both: Anything

Create-a-Class:

Primary:  Defense: Anything, Flag Carrier: Anything but your best friend is (shockingly) the riot shield.

Secondary: Anything

Lethal: Anything

Tactical: Trophy System- MUST STOP EXPLOSIVES FROM KILLING FLAG CARRIER!!!

Perk 1: Anything

Perk 2: Defense: Anything, Flag Carrier: Blast Shield

Perk 3: Stalker or Stalker Pro or Sitrep or Sitrep Pro

Deathstreak: Anything

COD Elite’s Suggestions:

Flag Carrier: Riot Shield w/ Speed

Skorpion w/ Extended Mags

Throwing Knife

Scrambler

Perk 1: Blind Eye

Perk 2: Blast Shield (Pro)

Perk 3: Steady Aim (Pro)

Killstreak: Support: UAV, Airdrop Trap, SAM Turret

Deathstreak: Juiced

Defense: G36C w/ Kick and Red Dot Sight

Javelin

Frag Grenade

Flash Bang

Perk 1: Sleight of Hand

Perk 2: Hardline

Perk 3: Stalker (Pro)

Killstreak: Assault: Predator Missile, Precision Airstrike, Wall-E

Deathstreak: Hollow Points

( ) means or pro

Holding the Flag Tips:

Beware of Open Areas, Especially if there’s a helicopter and you don’t have Blind eye.

Always stay near your teammates.

If you setup a Trophy System, don’t sit next to the trophy. Sometimes, the trophy system can detect a explosive within a 5 feet radius.

Tips for everypony:

Team Defender requires a mix of lockdown and mobile tactics in order to stay in possession of the flag. Communicate with your teammates to keep updated on the enemy’s movement at all times, letting the flag-carrier know when it’s time to stay put and when to evacuate. Designate players to protect the flag-carrier, but also have others go on the offensive. Each kill is worth twice as many points to your team, so don’t be afraid to confront the approaching enemy.

The team without the flag needs to coordinate their efforts more cautiously to retrieve the flag. Each reckless advance could feed the flag-carrying team with valuable kills. Assess the areas near the flag-carrier, call out potential threats, and gain possession of the flag to turn the tables.

I hope most of you guys will find this helpful.

Organization for ClOp

Well, Wharrrrrrgarbl was nice enough to give a contributor spot, Apparently most of our clan members want to win a champion badge but it requires alot of organization. So regarding to what John,Whar,and Mars did back in May to win our first Champion badge, I'm being put in charge of organization. I'm only doing this because I'm  trying to save time for John,Whar,and Mars (of course had been busy for the past weeks or months). So how is this going to work out? Well I need to know, if anyone is willing to participate in the Clan Op. It will be better if you tell me now than later because remember I'm putting the matter of 80-something clan members in my hands. If you have a problem, make sure to message me before the clan op; and also make sure you warn me about special events during a clan op weekend before the weekend. So I need people to comment or send me a message on XBL if you are going to attend, also make sure to put your K/D, Killstreaks you prefer to use, and who you would like to play with. Yeah that's pretty much I can say about this, you can comment or send me a message just in case I missed thing; and stay tuned for my article on Team Defender and get free tactics.

Wharrrrrrgarbl - That's our minister of propaganda! He draws ponies and tac knife LMG MK14 LMG's chumps.

JiaJohn - I was born with an MP7 in one hand and the fiery determination to spread its love in my heart. Some say I'm more MP7 than man. 

REALBAUS - When not earning 4 M.O.A.B.s a day, he's running our "Meet your Clanmate" section. 

Raito - Even so long after his departure from the game, we still tell legends of his 360 quickscopes and double M.O.A.B.

o Apple Dash o (Skippy Otter) - Artist, musician, virtual mass murderer. We met him playing Black Ops. He's good at that, too.

MSTP - He is going to be in school until he is 40, and that's assuming his research project stays on schedule. If you see him, wish him well on his quest to SAVE THE WORLD.

DANGERESQUE13 - I have watched this man slice open the intestines of a live pig. He smiled the entire time. The pig survived. True story. 

Vikingrunesmith, smith of runes - our most well aged member. Like a well aged Gouda, he brings flavor to our parties. Also he will crush you with a care package, but only out of love. 

Punsy Charlatan is the stickiest of all ponies and frankly is undefeated in domination clan ops; he is strangely obsessed with jam. Hugh Jelly?

Grottyneckbeard - I don't understand this still, but it makes me feel itchy. His name used to be I ARE A BRONY.  

DI5CoRD is our two headed ogre - is it the one or is it his brother? Either one will crush you in-game. 

REALBAUS - Did I mention he's a real boss? Legend says that behind his beard is just another M.O.A.B.

Rapture IV seizes our enemies.

The Wet Onion - This fellow's an artist too, and he's been with the clan forever. Don't let his name fool you, he's really a moist radish. 

xFlutterage - Our resident Frenchman with mad skills. He actually used to speak English before he caught the cutie pox . . . "Qu'est-ce que c'est?! Je parle Francais!"

Private Pansy - He enlisted for the plots. If he keeps up the good work, he just might someday become Sergeant Pansy. 

And dozens and dozens more! Anybody who wants to get listed, shoot me a message on LIVE or here.

Everyone else, keep an eye out for [Pony]. My Little Pony is coming to befriend you. If, perchance, you would like to be more proactive, seek out any of these fine fellows and try to play a few games with them.

Also, Whar, please make the background color work again :(

MOAR MUSIC

So, I kinda wanted to let Cookie Monster bookend the Thursday music posts, sort of bring it full circle, but I like music too much to stop now. There will be more pop music, but I think I might broaden it out a bit, too. Today, I'm thinking the Roots:

Love and Tolerance?

Not sure how many of you read the Round Stable, but Headless Horse has a great pair of articles re: the phrase "love and tolerance". A teaser:

"Virtually all the exposés that attempt to understand the fandom as a sincere, self-supportive community of like-minded fans of a show about pink cartoon ponies latch on to a recurring mantra that survives today stronger than ever: Love and Tolerance. To hear fans tell it, that’s what FiM is all about, and that’s why everybody loves it so much.
I’ve just got to ask: Are these people watching the same show I am?"

 Check them out here and here.

Meet Your Clan Mate, VorpalRenegade
