ClOpping Furiously

Nice job on the recent Domination and HC Kill Confirmed ops; good to see that even when a lot of us are taking a well-earned break, our clan's foundation is so strong that we're easily taking golds anyway. Here are the leaderboards:

On a related note, I think there's been a lot of interest in trying for a Domination champ badge. It'll be a steep climb, because we're nowhere near as close as we were when we started thinking about getting a KC champ badge, but for RenaissanceMan5's thoughts, check after the jump.

Meet Your Clan Mate, Yay Fluttershy

This week on Meet Your Clan Mate, we have Yay Fluttershy answering some questions about ponies and gaming. He’s the type of guy that likes to use guns that are quite often neglected. When enemy killstreaks are up in the air, you can expect him to shoot it down fairly quickly. Just don’t sneak up on him with Assassin. He doesn’t like that.

Again, if you want to be interviewed send a message to me on xbox live. Don't forget to give me more questions! Check the interview after the jump.

Capping Domination Points

So, I've been thinking about other clan ops we could improve our standings in, and since we've heard rumblings that stuff like 5 riot shields + 1 killer in TDM may be considered boosting, it seems like Domination is the next gametype we can try to work our friendship magic on. Punsy Charlatan, our stickiest pony, regularly comes in 30-50 caps (that's 15-25%) ahead of the next runner up in Sticky Fingers ops, and told me that his tactic is smoke grenade/trophy system, lie down, cap, repeat. This could obviously be improved with pairs of cappers sticking close to each other; one drops the smoke, the other drops the trophy. We might be able to get some more smoke by having someone drop a javelin on the cap site, as well, after the cappers have run out of tactical grenades.

I'll need to test this, but I think points don't cap any faster once three people are on them. I guess this means the optimum group size would be 3 cappers, 3 support? Maybe the cappers drop tac inserts at some neutral point which will make it easier to catch up to the herd if (when) killed and the support guys are tossing smoke/trophy/javelin, as well as playing overwatch and so on? What do you guys think?

Also, Den Kirson's forum is great and I want to lick it. Check out this thread on run speed and domination spawns. Very interesting. Anyway, post your thoughts in the comments!

Nice job, everypony! Looks like the other top clans are adopting our strategy: Lethal x Gaming got 5,092 confirms. We flipped the metagame. Imitation really is the sincerest form of flattery.

We had some organizational problems and ended up with only 5 lobbies, not to mention xBox Live crapping itself every five minutes, but we still placed 6th out of 30,507. Thanks to everypony who participated, and a very solid showing from all 5 of our teams

Anyway, I think our work is done here. Lethal x Gaming is showing everypony the power of friendship pretty hardcore.

Immoveable Force 6-1-2012

Ranked 30th out of 28,680 clans. Shouts out to "JiaJohn", xXIxSNIPEZxXx, Mr Bad Touches, Dear Leader, Insulse, and Jojokanojojo! I'm currently on night call, so I have no idea what went down, but if you have a crazy story, let everypony know in the comments!
