Other one is more of a randome spam thread. :p
But I really wanna hear ppl storys about how they joined. I wrote my shorter version somewhere but I can do the longer one too! :)
I don't know about LoL. Never played it. And we had 4th down for a while so not sure. Maybe Bog or Mel know more about SI's LoL section current situation?
Once I kinda kicked Hollywood from the forums and causing drama from all the QQ'ing and telling everyone they suck.. American LOL really came to a stand still. I know the D bros were playing for awhile but they never carried the Si tag in LOL.
Anyways, if it ever comes back i'll for sure send a request to join. I'd prefer join a clan with people from TAO rather then randoms.
There was a group of people who played together.. no tags.. there was an Si thread on LOL long ago.. And I think the EU side stayed together for awhile and then joined another clan together.

When did you put 4th back online? :confused:
It's been up for a week or so. Bog even posted about it in "our other thread".
I clan hopped until I found a clan that I really enjoyed being a part of.
KoTR was great my first year, but it lost a lot of the people I was good friends with somewhere down the road.
AK was also a lot of fun, but there was a fair amount of drama going on in the AK clan on banff when I joined.
Then I joined NJ and a slew of other clans, and while they were all fun, they never really did it for me.
Joined SI and never looked back. Had a lot of fun with you guys over the years. It was the clan that represented what I loved about TAO the most. Close community, focused on attitude and enjoying the game, but had a lot of serious players that also wanted to get better.
KoTR and AK were a little too trolly at times, and Netjak was a little too serious.
I don't know why S.I. let me join, I was awful at Tactics Arena. I'm glad they did though, so many cool people. We should dredge up some recruitment/promotion threads and laugh at them with our hindsight goggles.
To be fair.. I probably wouldn't have ever passed the recruitment stages for Si after the 3rd year. Granted I had fun jumping most of my Si brethren with random greys and then revealing who I was before taking the win. But I didn't like gold games and rarely played them. Most of you guys would laugh at my crazy gold set-ups and any decent Turtle kicked my butt.
Um... I believe that's just pure gravy..
sometimes i lurk on 4thfactor and feel really creepy doing it..like im watching a person take a shower without them knowing
just thought i should let that secret out
durty
I'm not sure I like all these things being said about me :p
Also. I failed at getting in SI as "DaTruDiablos" (not sure how either of my names came to be..) I waited a couple months to try again as KAP..I don't know why i thought that would work. It also probably didn't confuse anyone and everyone knew anywho. But I was young. I did enjoy making it to recruiter status and getting to play potential clan mates :)
I may not have had the most skill but I enjoyed playing and judged peoples character well. In my opinion :thumbsup:
I suppose Mel could give us all grades :KAP:
My brother used to play on Army and was a pyropyrate or something, I just ended up playing on Banff until I met nads. He asked me to join and I just kept playing with the same guys, most of them were older but they were always pretty laid back.
I think matt has been the only one who posted something on topic in regards to the first post of this thread... Get your head together matt and don't step out of line ;) Mel thats something for your book, isn't it?
Well I can't exactly follow the mold of the thread.. How did I get into Si. They needed someone to guard the poop and no one else showed interest or as much promise as me!
Bigmikeasf, Rescorlian, Nads, Orthodox, and Myself all joined during the first weeks of TAO. We played each other a lot and were all always on from like 10pm to 5am pretty much every day.. trying set-ups versus each and all on ICQ or AIM making fun of the opponents who decided to jump us. Little by lil people came out of the wood work to play and join us.. DWarrior.. was looking for a Banff clan.. Minigunsniper who actually came up with the Si Name.. Sam toet an 11 year old Aussie who owned just about everyone's butt.. DoesthislookInfected (later to become Rogue_Wolf).. KoSpades.. Jon The Don.. MikeisGod.. Demonicgod.. Ravus Rhin.. BoBo The Fool.. Cuathon.. Cobra9 This was the core of Si and in the beginning we pretty much dominated 14 of us in the top 50 spots.
I stayed on topic bog...can't you read? :P
I wonder what ever happened to Cuathon...I don't think I realized he was an original member. I used to talk to him a lot but he would get carried away on tangents frequently lol
So my story. I once was in Judgement (the dominent clan in Legends back in a day) with my buds Matzer and Toniselius (also Estonians as was Rantzu/Gladiator btw). In time we got bit bored being just a members in a major clan and wanted to try something else and lead our own clan. We created Knights Of Honour. It got pretty succussful. Couldn't compete with major clans like Judgement or CG but were in the next group of clans (top 4-5). Then Jonspen got active in Legends and wanted to revive SI but he was pretty much alone (as a leader) so he asked us if we'd be interested. First we didn't take it too seriously but then he joined our forums and posted long post to not convince just us but other members too. And well... the guy was convincing :P. We really liked 4thfactor - we had our own pretty nice forums/webpage (Toni's friend was paying for the domain) but at time it was hard to get ppl join it and post there even tho we had tournaments and competitions etc. SI had active forums and FPS community which we really liked. Also the name was cool. 8)
When we joined, I felt welcomed from the first day and probably other original KOH members too*, so never regret it. :)
* Voltron, Bloody-Killer and ff7cloud (if anyone remembers him) for example are original KOH members. I think I even recruited Voltron so all hail me for brining that nub to SI. :p Others like comic23, Tomb Raider, Vango and Forbes were active first but then sadly disappeared.
... I have no cool story... I can't even remember who recruited me to be exact. :(
Bog, you actually left SI first time you got invited. That's at least what you said in your PM to ff7cloud. Second time Brutal was the one who hit you with the "/Invite Bogart" so I guess he was the one who recruited you the second time.
I don't know who recruited you the first time because I didn't find the first thread. It might of been either Matzer or Bloody-Killer (miss them both :( ) who were the active leaders when I was away.
2nd thread: http://www.4thfactor.com/forums/show...D?daysprune=-1
Holy crud at the rejected pile... YIKES... and KAP's can I come back is hilarious..
I never thought to look up my polls once i could..I know what I'm doing when I get home
So you guys legit voted on who to invite? Who did the voting? Just the leaders? Hot damn that's some oligarchic shit.
Members got their say also. I sometimes based my votes on what some trusted members said in the threads to speed up the polls or when I couldn't play new possible recruits (cause of different time zone for example).
