We should form a club.
Antisocial Pilots. (Motto: "In space noone can hear you scream.")

brucewarren suggested "Diogenes Club".


It would have no website, no login, no voice chat, no chance of anyone ever being expected to communicate with another member.

A facebook accounts is grounds for immediate dismissal. Sorry. Club charter.

To be honest, just creating this thread is a clear violation of your main premise. :P

Aww shucks. I figured it might be a little longer until someone pointed out the absurdity of antisocial networking...

Motto: "In space noone can hear you scream." ... or unless you are doing the Nuklear-Slug RASLAG manoeuvre (Run away screaming like a girl).

A Founder member could be apricotslice who recently said about the X forums:

"I dont know a single person here. I dont chat with a single person here. I have no interest in chatting to anyone while playing the game."

Thanks for putting this together though Gazz. This is the bestest club I've ever been in. All those "meetings" and crap that other clubs have is just a waste of time.

Won't see you later :P

Admit it, you are really suppressed social butterflies awaiting a moment to burst forth from your coocoons in a haze of multi-coloured vibrance...

...only to be quickly crushed in the jaws of the reality of online interaction...

In space nobody can hear you tweet.

What about spacebook accounts?

Do you accept procrastinating pilots?
(you can give me an answer later)
You think a hero is some weird sandwitch and not a guy attacking a Xeno J with a kestrel.

Sir.. I said .. A guy attacking a J with a kestrel is the sandwitch.

Procrastinating pilots should be allowed, assuming they never turn up for the initiation day

I believe this (*Warning* Strong Language) is relevant to your interests.
Admitting you have a problem is the first step in figuring out how to make it worse.

Given that the world has seen greater absurdity and reality didn't crumbe around our ears (yet)... why not?

A club card should work. Obviously you have to admit yourself because an application process of any sort is out of the question.
A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away I made this for a different purpose. (1+ megapoint game in GalCiv...)

I'm open to suggestions.

What I think should be on it is space for a picture with a text "optional photo here".

A line for the name. Can't really be a member without a name.

Name of the club but I'm not very happy with what we got so far.
Need moar brains.
Antisocial X3/X4 Pilots Club?
Club Diogenes has a nice touch but is way off with the context.

A motto could work because we'll have space to fill anyway.
How about "In space, I can hear noone scream."
or "In space, I can not hear you scream."
I think that would better get the intention across...

Just copy and paste the club mantra into the signatures, everything else would be too communicative.

Code: Select all

I prefer

"I hear you're in my space- you scream!" Has a nice piratey feel to it too. :wink:

Or is that too antisocial?

I suggest this club should be for unsocial pilots not anti-social pilots
