I <3 my credit cards. Sure, they're killing me, but as long as people smoke I will continue to spend make-believe money. Love this. What's up all? New here, live in Texas so on central time. I have class all day Tuesday but I'll be on asap and ready to team up afterwards. Thanks for putting this together, looking forward to having consistent people to play with.

Same here. Check out some of the other posts about a specific clan tag and strategies, and welcome to the board!

I don't know if you already gotten around to adding people wolf, but i made a mistake with my gamertag back on the other thread, it's actually CRSO1.
you know you need a new GT when you can't even remember it correctly...
Also, come release day i'll be available to game all night as soon as i get it.

so i know we dont have a motto but i thought it would be cool to do some star wars ref like
DL-44 We Shoot first( In latin)-
For those who dont get this. Its the whole thing in the movies where Han is in the canteena and him and Gredo are talking and there was a small debate whether it was han who shot gredo first or if gedo shot at him and Han retaliated dont know why it would matter but still would be cool as a CLAN motto

That is absolutely perfect! Dunno if we need latin (maybe if it sounds BA), but I absolutely love that as our motto.
And it matters because it radically changes Han Solo's reputation as an outlaw; in the original, Han shot Greedo first before Greedo ever took a shot -- Han technically murdered Greedo. It made Han's character a more violent and less honorable outlaw (less Robin Hood like).
When Lucas went back and touched up the films, he added Greedo shooting first to make Han more of a "goody two shoes" good guy instead of a badass outlaw. Instead of preemtively killing Greedo, Han was defending/retaliating. A weak move on Lucas' part because he bowed pressure to make Han a 100% good guy; the fact that he's a smuggler of drugs is barely touched upon.
Also, when adding Greedo's shot, they didn't remake the scene, they just added a laser blast from Greedo's gun, which wasn't actually pointed at Solo, this is why the shot fired into the wall above Han -- if Greedo had actually shot first, there is no reason why he wouldn't have hit Han at that range.

Loving the motto; so what about our Clan name? I saw a couple of threads on GFaqs and a bunch of others are incorporating Gfaqs into their own monikers. Maybe we should switch up before the game hits and post it up on the Brink Wiki?

I think we're going with DL44 as our tag. It is in reference to Han's blaster. Colors at this time will be Navy (Blue) and Crimson (Red) -- represents a Corellian blood stripe.
Edit: And I like the English as opposed to the Latin.

Well, I probably won't be saying the latin, but if we have an opportunity to make clan images, I'll look into using it. Verbally I'll refer to the English.
And I'll take a look at what GT I put in for you Urzo, I don't remember getting a "GT not found" so someone might be pretty confused!

I might as well ask here; anyone know GT Vicious Dice? I got a FR thru Live and automaticallyMassumed it was for the Clan. The GT sounds real familiar but I don't believe it's the same as his login from either here or GFaq and I'm having trouble placing it.

I'm pretty sure I've seen them on the GFAQs board, don't know if they transferred to here. You should be good -- I'll check the Clan account later, I'm pretty sure he might be on that.
