Muppetry In Motion - May 09 Edition

Muppetry In Motion – May 2009 Edition

Hello Muppets. Ego here again, hope its not getting too tiresome for all you Muppets reading my interpretation of the Clans progress. Yet again if any other Council or Seniors want to give it a bash, let me know, I'm happy to help out with stats etc. Anyway, on we go....
Its been yet another busy month in Muppetdom and although Boosh has been away its run very smoothly indeed, so a big thanks to all who chipped in with organising, maintaining and generally keeping this place nice and active. On that note May has been a very active month on the forum,,, 7153 posts which is a new record for us and 37 new registered users which is the biggest single monthly influx apart from the forums Birth. I'm sure this will continue to be the pattern in future, I'm sure our appearance in this months ISSUE 61 of 360 GAMER MAGAZINE (the one with Batman on the front) will only add to our reputation. The Clan and Community are going from strength to strength and its all down to our members. So give yourselves a pat on your furry backs, you deserve it.


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, Dongziller, Egofilter, Lemony Vodka and Robafet!
With newly promoted LAM and MACKAM joining the ranks.

Congratulations guys, well deserved..
Will be some Senior promotions coming very soon, and possibly some Chieftains too.

Right, onto the stats!!

COMPETITION NEWS SUMMARY
(full reports to be found on corresponding threads)

FIFA 09 League
This is now up and running with Rossinio and Egofilter taking the early lead. There's still some limited space available for this, and we're only on the first and second games of the season so sign up HERE if your interested.

Race to Muppet Mountain (Left4Dead)
Two teams of Zombie bashing survivors trying to run through the game simultaneously on the 2nd hardest setting in separate lobbies linked by party chat!!! Getting time penalties for Deaths, using health packs, friendly accidental cheating and other variations. This was a 2.5 hour session,, mucho mucho fun but as it was the first one we hadn't solidified the rules and penalties and as there was only a few mins in difference we decided to call it a draw. The next one will be a riot!!!

Thanks to all involved for a great Night and to Villager for the concept and organisation.

Chieftain vs Chieftain
(Boosh Vs Ego) Escape to Victory!!
Winner Boosh and crew.
Well we tried a double header... A FIFA match followed by a CoDwaw match. Once again Booshes team stuck it to Ego's team,,, winning the footy 5-2 and the CoD 3-2. Boosh's luck will run out soon!!! Keep and out out for the Escape to Victory double header format to reappear in some form.

Night Of The Braaaaaains 2 (Halo 3 Zombie Night)
Winner egofilter
2^nd Dongziller
3^rd Rossinio
Another successful and enjoyable night on Halo3. Rossinio bringing in some new modes and some old favs to keep the infectious fun going. Cheers. Id like to thank McDoom for dropping out early as without that I wouldn't have stood a chance at picking up my first interclan comp title!!! Woo Hoo!!! Thanks to all who participated,,, even Lam!!! Was beginning to think you had changed your gamertag to ''Betrayed by Lam''



Halo 3 Legendary Sessions
Ok this wasn't a competition but TWO SEVEN AND A HALF hour sessions in row from Nutmeg has to worth mentioning. Was a great giggle,, and a rewarding one too,, I picked up 750 points from the session where I

MUPPET OF THE MONTH – ROSSINIO & MACKAM
This was the tightest vote ever,, was a six way split for ages... hard luck to those that were just edged
out, but congrats to the winners. All nominees deserved it but we can only fit two in the pictures for MOTM roll of Honour!

ROSSINIO
Name: Ross Barnes
Location: Cambridgeshire
Gamertag: Rossinio
Previous Gamertags: Didn't have any others
Consoles Owned: Intellivision, N64, PS2, Xbox, Xbox 360
Favourite Game: At the moment - CoD: WaW. All time, that would probably be Baldur's Gate 2 or Halo.
Kind of Gamer: Reckless - even as a Sniper I'll still run into the middle of firefights.
Favourite Muppet? Gonzo
Anything else you feel you want to share? Glad to be a Muppet, here. I look forward to more nights of Drunken CoD with Lemony and await the day where LAM doesn't attempt to team kill me..

MACKAM
Name: Martin
Location: Essex (from Sunderland though and very proud to be!!)
Gamertag: Mackam
Previous Gamertags: none, the one and only.
Consoles owned: Xbox, Xbox 360, PS2, DS lite, Wii,
Favourite Game: GOW2
Kind of Gamer: Jack of all (except COD online) master of none.
Favourite Muppet? Beaker
Anything else you feel you want to share? Yes but my wife does not let me! Seriously though have enjoyed time here so far and the fact everybody gets on well and there is no drama. I can sometimes take it a little serious but I am finding I have mellowed a lot since joining here and continue to do so all the time.
Hopefully now a 4 year old American calls me a noob I don't scream and throw the joypad at the wall, no promises though!!

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.

Cheers
Ego

Just read it in my email good write up as always Ego :D

Nice one Ego, another good edition.

Good work Ego

Good work, Mr. Ego. Another good month for the Clan! Hurrah!

Always a good read EG0, you cetainly do have a way with words (and not in a Lemony way - bwahahaha)

top banana mate, clark kent would be proud

Cheers EGO,
great read with my wee cuppa and cream crackers "n" cheese

It's also a good way for me to get to know who's who since i am now a new Clan member....horaaaaah

great write up mate.
to some it may seem same old same old, but to many new members its great help for them and even to us oldies its nice to see how much still happens.
And all this in the summer which is the dry season of games and gaming. Most clans split in this period when it gets all quiet and dramas usually erupt of spilt ice cream...

Cheers one and all.
