Weedle

A wild Weedle appears!

Yes, my name is Weedle. I've been playing this game for seven months and I still haven't figured out how to evolve into Kakuna. But you know what? Sometimes there's more to life than just being a hard-ass.

Like being in a killer guild.

Tier Zero: What We're All About

Tier Zero is aimed at having the most skilled, intelligent, and active players in Spiral Knights. Guild activities include:

Killing Vanaduke. He owes us lunch money.
Killing the Jelly King. Because we're mean.
Killing... okay, well we kill everything. Why not?
Playing Lockdown, because the monsters we kill there are amusingly smarter than usual.
Discussing market trends and money-making ventures

And of course, we like to chat and engage in all sorts of hijinks. Typical antics include:

Drunk Vanaduke runs with Hanktron and Festering
Insisting that the garden is actually Hanktron's house
Reviving Festering because he refuses to use his health capsules
Turning away as Weedle spams romantic emotes with Auricoma
Coloring masterfully on MSpaint
Having confusing political debates with Kioso (a.k.a. "Kiosk")

Gaming is for entertainment, so we just try to keep it as entertaining as possible! ;)

About Us

Guild Master

Weedle:

Yours truly. I'm that strange looking lizard thing with an obsession for UV'ed swords. Usually I can be found with my nose in the Auction House, or running laps around the fountain with Repartee and Njthug. People accuse me of being OCD.

Normal Loadout: Vog Set, Grey Owlite Shield, 2x Tetra Heart Pendants, VH CTR Divine Avenger, VH CTR Leviathan Blade, VH ASI Gran Faust, VH vs. Fiends Final Flourish
Hit: Helvetica
Miss: Comic Sans MS

Officers

Festering:

My favorite present participle. Known for his ability to miraculously backdoor his way through anything, Festering can do it all. An expert rock climber, cyclist, strategist, and multi-tasker. Has the uncanny ability to replicate the bark of a small dog.

Normal Loadout: Max/High Elemental Skolver Set, Barbarous Thorn Shield, 2x CTR Modules, Divine Avenger, Leviathan Blade, Storm Driver, Electron Vortex
Hit: Sometimes even a home run
Miss: Nope

Hanktron:

Our friendly neighborhood troll! Hanktron is notorious for establishing awkward social situations and generally confusing everyone. A formally educated economist, rugged mountain man, and master colorer. <--- Click!

Normal Loadout: Vog Set, Grey Owlite Shield, Acheron, Divine Avenger, Callahan, Voltaic Tempest
Hit: Homophones
Miss: Poor grammar

Ramenfrog:

Known as the Ice Queen of the TZ officers, Ramenfrog gave up the title of GM of the Chronic Crafters for unknown reasons. She has little patience and doesn't take much hooha from anyone. But underneath it all, she really does care. At least a little bit.

Normal Loadout: Skolver Set, Barbarous Thorn Shield, Barbarous Thorn Blade, Master Blast Bomb
Hit: Attacking octopus
Miss: Squid reyp

Kioso:

As a f2p player, Kioso progresses at the speed of light. He was in Tier 3 in under two weeks, and he always seems to pull new 5* items out of his ass. I don't know how he does it... that's just Kioso for you. I think he's magic.

Normal Loadout: Vog Set, Barbarous Thorn Shield, Elite Sword Focus Module, Divine Avenger CTR Medium, Leviathan Blade CTR Medium, Blitz Needle VH Fiend
Hit: Gooder grammer
Miss: Yup

Hanktron

I make hits, not pop flies.

I would like to add that there is a difference between satire and trolling, although I've been known to do both. Also, "a formally educated economist" might be pushing it. Expert character analysis for Festering. Also, since we're discussing font choice, Three Rings can do better for SK.

Joining

I would like to join this guild. I am currently fairly new to Spiral Knights and I AM LOVING IT. I want to learn how to actually succeed rather than getting owned on Jelly King runs. FYI this is currently my primary account, but normally my Steam account is, but steam isn't werking on mah computer, so I'm using this.

Fri, 09/30/2011 - 02:15

@Arbituser

I'd be happy to help you out. Maybe next time we are online we can do a Jelly Run together? We'll talk soon :)

Also, jelly is delicious.

I want to join this guild.

I want to join this guild. But I fear that I am underqualified.

How long have you been playing Spiral Knights?
2-3 Weeks now

What tier clearance do you have?
Tier 2

What is your favorite food?
Snorblaxes

I'm working on creating a new character with a better name than Poopfaurts, so once I gather enough crafting resources and make the switch I'll be ready for some dungeon grinding. I know there are limited spots, but just wanted to throw myself out there so I can reapply later when I've grown some chest hairs.

@Poopfaurts

I approve of the name Poopfaurts, just like how I approve of the movie The Highlander. Although it is understood if you want to change names, haha.

I JUST closed applications for Tier 2 players. However, I'll friend you in-game. Maybe I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and invite you anyway :)

Myllakka

Application ;3

I must say, this is the first time a guild recruitment thread (and ensuing posts) has made me laugh so much.

How long have you been playing Spiral Knights? Not too long; three weeks or so? I've logged 95 hours.

What is your loadout? Divine Veil, Skolver Coat, Levi, 3-pack 4* shields (Rock Jelly, Sinister Skelly, Wise Owlite), bunch of random 4* guns (Gigawatt Pulsar [where are all the Polaris recipes?!], Strike Needle, Mega Magnus, etc.) and bombs (Master Blast, Spike Shower)...basically noob gear. XD Go me? I'm working on a bomber set, but I kind of suck at bombing, so we'll see.

What is your favorite food? Jam, of the Royal variety.

I'm pretty good with any T2 levels, but T3 hasn't been kind to me the couple of times I went down with a PUG. I'm hoping that being a part of a guild will yield better teams, and thus better experiences.

Thu, 10/06/2011 - 08:53

#23

Hanktron

I thought I'd weigh in on the favorite food category.

Most life changing restaurant meal in recent memory: Ba-Le (Kona, HI)...I will now order vermicelli at any viet restaurant I'm lucky enough to eat at.
Cheese Board effect restaurant: Cheese Board (Berkeley, CA), duh.
Restaurant I won't shut up about: Jaffa Cafe (San Luis Obispo, CA)

Weedle

Peperony and chease

@Myllakka

Thanks for the support! I'll shoot you an invite ASAP. And you're certainly right about having a better team with us. We'll be frolicking through Firestorm Citadel in no time :)

And that's no noob gear! Turn that spike shower into a dark briar barrage. One of the most useful bombs I've used. I'm always in support of having bomber guardians for Lockdown!

Also, here are quite a few jelly/jam lovers here! We're going to need to pick up some more sliced bread (my finger is on my nose, Hanktron).

@Hanktron

Agreed. Although idk about this Jaffa Cafe you always talk about.

@No one in particular

Incoherrant

Bloo

Just typed a long post and then tried to post but had been logged out. Woe!

Anyway.

You people sound like you have humour. I greatly approve of this. You also sound like you're capable players. More approval. You also like cats. I like cats. We could totally get along.

Dat info:
Played since sometime in August, I think. Fuzzy memory.

Use Vog/Skolver combo, three four star swords (Silent Nightblade, Dark Thorn Blade, Blizzbrand), more random un-upgraded swords, various two-four star guns and a couple of crappy bombs (Deconstructor lulz). Warming two shields up atm, will relatively soon have Barbarous Thorn- and Grey Owlite Shield.

Preferably eat pizza. Yum. I want one now. Might go get one when I've posted this.

Other:
I bring optimism and a friendly attitude, an eagerness to get better and a decent memory of how everything works. Also, I talk a lot if the mood is for it, and people can live with m3 typing lik3 this b3caus3 my stupid old k3yboard is missing a k3y and I'm too tight-fist3d to purchas3 a n3w on3. At l3ast my grammar isn't incompr3h3nsibl3 on top of that?
Sadly I also have about four bars worth of negative lag resistance and may be rendered useless in extreme cases - hordes of mecha knights have caused me to futilely lag into corners and get gangmauled; other common side effects are things like thinking I'm shielding in time, only to have already been hit when I hit the button (extra fun around armies of turrets!), or something like trying to revive teammates in an arena and ending up running in circles while stopping every other moment at their corpse, swinging, then fleeing from the mobs as they catch up. Rinse and repeat for a couple of minutes until I finally lag to death or manage to hit. :V
This does not always happen, though! Only thing in the regular clockworks I haven't really explored is Vanaduke.

So yeah. Want a cheerful ditz with a sp33ch imp3dim3nt and a habit of lagging in your guild?

PS: My lizard is bigger than yours. :V
