Muppetry In Motion - April 09 Edition

Muppetry In Motion – April 2009 Edition

Hello Muppets! Ego here again, again. This is my third newsletter in a row!! I enjoy doing it but don't want to monopolise it, so if any other Council members want to give it a bash make yourselves known. But for now your stuck with me so here goes.....

Wanted to start by mentioning the Clan section of our community first. Been on a really, really impressive roll recently winning the last 9 matches on the bounce. The Gears teams winning 5 matches, 2 for the CoD WaW teams and a Fifa and Streetfighter IV thrown in for good measure. We are still a fun clan and always will be but these results against some very good glans are almost dare I say it 'elite form'. So big gratz to all who played in these matches. On the same note though, don't let the stellar form of the Clan at present put anyone off signing up for matches. As Boosh says.... ''A Muppet never lets us down unless they fail to turn up'' – Its still thrills over skills, first come first served. Just as well or I'd never get a game. Although enjoying our streak we're not getting carried away with ourselves and God knows were still not taking it too seriously. GO TEAM MUPPET!!!

As usual we would like to give a big thanks to all our regulars. Clan and forum Members alike. We had over
5,000 posts on the forum last month making this a very active little hive of muppety goodness. The members are the heartbeat of our community and it keeps getting stronger. We had our 200^th Member sign up today. Quite a milestone I think.

We'd also like to welcome all the new Muppets that have joined since the last newsletter. Hope your finding our furry little hole a comfortable and welcoming place to be. Ooo Errr.

For the new people here's a brief history of the clan.
The Muppets with Guns (MWG) were formed from the ashes of Ordinary Aged Gamers and Smokin' Aces. They merged together and created this amazing clan. The Clan formed with only 5 members but has gradually hunted down other Muppet Lovers and brought them back home.
The Muppets Clan is a fun clan that plays for the joy of playing together with other Muppets. We do play with the other alien clans and we do play some serious games and clan matches but mostly we like to play games with real Muppets.

The Muppet Council is TheMightyBoosh, Malfius, Dongziller, Egofilter, Lemony Vodka and Robafet!

General News
Been a slight change to the regular Muppet nights. Monday is still a forum vote based affair. While
Thursdays are now a (in party show of hands). Many thanks to Robafet for keeping these ticking along nicely. Hugely valuable nights these and always a giggle.

Dong has started doing game reviews. Worth checking out HERE. Operation Flashpoint soon, really excited
about that, hope it lives up to my massive expectations.

The medals / badges for clan members are now up and running,,, not quite up to date but Boosh and Myself are on it. Should be more or less done apart from stand alone comps.

Right, onto the stats!!

Anything else you feel you want to share?
Was almost ready to give up XBL. Got really bored of the randomness of public lobbies, began to find it very unsatisfying. Thought Id try the clan thing. This is my first proper clan, and am sure it will be my last. (did have a brief trial with a cod4 clan, but they were more interested in glitching) Fuck That!!! anyway, was made to feel welcome instantly here by real quality muppets. Found myself enjoying
gaming again and also being a tad creative again on the forums, which is a brilliant outlet for me personally. I love this place and want to thank every single one of you furry freaks for making it a success.
THANKS FOR THE VOTES, was one of the closest votes yet,,, think only my two comps this month or the badges swung it. Doubt it was the promise of toast but you never know.



PROMOTING THE MWG
We've got quite a few external things going on now. If you're already a member of these sites pop on over. Sign ups are free and easy for those of you who are not and have a few mins spare. The more the merrier!

TWITTER
GAMERNOOK
FACEBOOK
XBOX LIVE FORUMS
360 VOICE

Also www.muppets-with-guns.com is up and running now. Nice to have a .com site to pimp. We feel its
better and easier to remember that the free forum address. This site is still under development, but for now its a nice jacket for the forum and a landing place for new members, with useful links and advice.

SHOPTO.COM
We've had an affiliation with shopto for a while now. Its worth reminding all muppets what a good service these guys provide and that every purchase you make puts £1 in the MWG coffers. These funds
are used for prizes in various comps. So please use it if you can. Visit the corresponding thread for instructions. If theres anything you want that is not on the list, please contact Dong and it can be arranged for you.

SHOPTO and MWG

Right, well thats about it for this month. Hope all you muppets are as well and happy as life permits. Don't
catch Swine Flu, and more importantly don't live in fear of media inflated sniffles. Once again, thanks to EVERYONE for being part of the MWG. Really cant think of a better place to be.

Just thought Id leave you with this,,,check out the reg on this car (P3MWG) I saw being towed away in Fulham last week. Poor old muppet lover!

Cheers
Ego
