Welcome to our clan. We are the biggest and best clan in Demigod, and arguably the only clan with any hope of survival. What is our goal? To get games going without the ridiculous wait times, meet lots of cool people, and last but not least, have lots of fun. If you want a clan based on skill, you won't find one in this game.
Q: Are you the clan leader?
No, absolutely not. GM worked as a democracy, and the same deal goes here - majority rules. I am just your Public Relations (PR) guy. I have noticed that having a solid PR guy does keep the clan intact, and I have made sure I am pretty much accessible and visible as often as I can. I am on msn, xfire, skype, facebook and vent. If you need to find me, you probably will find me and of course I'll allow you to find me. Just ask if you're interested.
Q: What is the recruitment process?
There is no recruitment process, we will accept anyone who wants to join. Just add the tag, hop onto vent, say Hi and I'll add you on here. If you want I can serenade your entrance to the clan with a song of your personal choice, but it must be Top 40.
Q: Are there any rules?
1. Be nice, be respectful of others. I understand trash talking is part of the game for some, but please don't extend it to something personal. It's just a game after all. 2. Unless there is an agreement among the players in the game, please play balanced games. I understand that completely balanced games are probably not possible at the moment, but try to make it as balanced as possible. 3. Have fun!

Here are the current members of OMG (in alphabetical order):
OMG_awuffleablehedgie (a.k.a. OMG_BlackHatHedgehog)
So I used to refer to him as waffles, because I always thought his name was supposed to relate to waffles. Apparently, I was wrong. He's wuffleable - which means huggable apparently. I'm not sure how a hedgehog is huggable, but I guess it is in his world. Hedgie is his nickname, and he's probably the coldest person in this clan, but once you get used to his cold exterior, he turns out to be a really nice guy. He just has these awkward mood swings, where he's super energetic around 10pm EST, and then after 12am, he tends to be super cynical, and then after 3am he turns on his seductive bedroom voice. If you feel offended by him, don't be, because he's just a hedgehog. If you have any questions about any statistical stuff in Demigod, Hedgie knows all. It's actually kinda scary.
OMG_Blackmage (a.k.a. OMG_synnworld)
OMG-CaptainTaco
Taco was an important addition to the clan because he provides the comic relief for everyone. Just look for his posts and you will instantly know what I mean. He likes to describe himself as a terrible DG player, but he only says that just so his opponents will let their guard down and then Taco can strike. I always knew he was a sneaky guy, right when I saw his Pedobear avatar. As you can tell from his name, he loves Tacos but I'm not sure how strong that love is. In fact, none of us really know if his love for Tacos is stronger than tacoguy's. That is a question up for further discussion.
OMG_Defenz
A player from Vancouver. That's all I really know so far but if you're Canadian then that automatically makes you cool.
OMG-dontforgetyourpeanuts
I have a feeling this guy is loaded.
OMG_Epiphenomenon
Epi is what we all call him, so I suppose that's his nickname. He's the brains of the group, Mr.PhD in computer science. I will be joining him in September (hopefully if I survive the summer) but until then he is above me academically. I shall be your colleague soon Epi! He is the voice of reason. He's very mature and civilized, so I'm not really sure why he's a gamer (haha juust kidding). He is currently my academic advisor, even though he never agreed to it. But who cares, I'm sure he'll agree cause he's a nice guy. If you need academic advice, I suggest you go to Epi.
OMG-howboutnoooo
We all call him Max, because that's his name. He is the dog of the family - and that is not to say that he plays an unimportant role. Dogs are a man's best friend and they are extremely friendly, just like Max. Sometimes when you listen to him you might think he's on LSD, but really he's naturally just like that. He sees the world in magical ways, and he opens up your mind to a whole new world. He's also extremely active - as in he's pretty hyper and is always energetic until around 11pm when he usually goes to bed. I initally made fun of Max for sleeping so early as a teenager, but once I realized how much energy he spends just talking I understand why he's exhausted by the end of the day. If you are feeling down, go talk to Max. He is the guy in the clan who will cheer you up.
OMG__IN1
OMG_Jackho
OMG_Jona
Jona is just Jona. He's the drama queen. Yes, believe it or not I am not the biggest drama queen, he is and he's damn proud of it. From just 3 minutes of talking to him, you'd realize that he likes to put himself on the pedestal, and he does. But even with all that attitude, he's a lot of fun to hang out with. Listening to him on vent always makes my day. He also never rage quits, and never actually gets angry - which is kind of surprising now that I think about it. He also has nice eyes that he cherishes, I'm not sure if that makes a difference.
OMG_Jongalt26
Nickname is Jon. One continuous question that has been floating around is this, "Who would win in a fight against Jon, KAL-EL and yeahneil?" That is an answer no one has been able to answer yet. Those 3 in my mind are the tough trios - but really, they're all actually probably the nicest people in the clan right from the get go. I'm not going to lie, I was scared to talk to them initially but after maybe.. 2 days? I got comfortable with them. Jon to me is a wonderful fatherly figure so he is definitely the father of the family.
OMG_KAL-EL
His name is pronounced just like the way it's spelled. If Jon is our father, KAL-EL is probably our grandfather, except he's not even that old. So why do I call him the grandfather? Because he has so many people that support him that you can't help but admit that there's something about KAL-EL that makes people like him. The answer becomes quite obvious when you engage in a conversation with him. He always keeps it real, and is genuinely friendly. I still have a hard time matching his friendliness with his tough voice but I'm getting there.
OMG_Mybones
A fellow gleek, and although there are some disagreements between us about who the best character in glee is (obviously Rachel, but he refuses to admit her greatness), as long as he is a fan of glee, I am a fan of him.
OMG_NinkiCZ
I'm just your average joe who's Asian. I'm quite boring so let's move on to someone more interesting.
OMG_Nomilarac
OMG_Obiwhan
I've actually always wanted to meet Obi (his nickname) after yeahneil was making fun of my voice and mentioned that he also makes fun of Obi's. When I actually got to meet him, he wasn't quite what I expected because contrary to what yeahneil thinks, he just had a normal voice. Obi is one of the few that makes me literally LOL. I sometimes do wonder if he's telling me the truth about his age though. You'd understand if you've known him long enough. He is the joker. No, not the joker from Batman, but an actual guy who makes jokes. However, his jokes are NSFW - Not Safe For Work, so be careful.
OMG_pacov
There really isn't much to say about pacov because for anyone that comes to these forums, you really can't miss his name. I've never gotten to know him on a personal level, but from my encounters with him he's quite a wonderful person. I consider him the father of Demigod, as do most people I'm sure because he plays such an active role in this community. I've always wanted to get to know you myself and I'm glad that the opportunity has arrived. I shall definitely update this introduction after we become familiar with each other. I also did not think you were the type to listen to Ke$ha. From your posts, I always thought you were more the old skool type - so there's definitely lots of things for me to learn.
OMG_Pa1nKi11er
This is irek, yo.
OMG_RedneckNinja
OMG_DD-shred_demon
If you don't know who shred_demon is then you are definitely missing out. He is actually the real Gentleman. He has a beautiful Scottish accent and loves to drink tea. He cannot live without his tea. He is also extremely skilled with his use of emoticons (the best in DG?) and we all have lots to learn from him. I've never heard him get angry, he's always smiling in my mind and he always puts a smile on my face. Therefore, if you are feeling down, talk to shreddy. He is the clan's sun (yes as in the big thing that shines the world), but you'll have to ignore his strong desire to wear a skirt and become a transformer.
OMG_Soccer-mom
I remember seeing the name Soccer-mom on Lagwars and thinking what kind of a person would want to be known as a soccer mom. Although his name is a bit weird, he actually is nothing like his name on vent. First, he's not a mom. Second, he's not even a parent. Third, I'm not even sure if he likes soccer. He's actually one of the younger guys on vent but surprisingly is one of the most mature guys on there too. I suppose it has to do with the fact that he studies physics (which I think is absolutely amazing because I suck at physics). If you want to delve into a discussion on quantum theory, talk to him.
OMG_SoSick
Another Canadian from Edmonton, which makes him cool. Quite a laid back sorta guy, who's apparently an excellent cook. He kind of reminds me of jaws8you (who seemed to have disappeared somewhere) but without the sighing and he also never gets mad. He is a great guy to play games with because he's a great listener, always calm and even takes responsibility for his mistakes - which is quite a rare sight in Demigod, and even in life. He has almost made drastic improvements over these weeks and I'm sure he'll be excellent in no time.
OMG_Splitshadow
Don't be fooled by his age. Kids his age should be listening to Justin Bieber and Miley Cyrus, yet he chooses to listen to Proud Mary by CCR. He likes to blame me for not being on vent, when in fact I am always on and I do pm him from time to time yet he chooses to ignore my messages, probably from Maccilia's terrible influence. He says he can tell a lot about you from your voice, so you should ask him for a personality diagnosis if you're interested.
OMG_Teseer
Everytime I talk to Teseer on vent, he seems like a completely different person. If you look over his posts you can tell that most of the time he's under the influence of some sort of substance, which could explain why he's a different person each time. While he sounds like a tough dude, he's not aggressive at all and I don't think I've ever heard him get mad. He also has this disgusting passion for TB, it's kind of to the point where it's a bit obsessive in my opinion. If you have any questions about TB, ask this man. Provide him with TB replays and he'll be very pleased.
OMG_Zalera (a.k.a. OMG_Sol)
He's barely on so how am I supposed to know anything about him. All I know is that he pops up in the forums once in a while and he seems to be BFFs with Splitshadow.
OMG_Zelax_
OMG_Zex (a.k.a. Cowbuttzex)
I always thought cow was a weird guy because he's the only person who seems to get along with Peter, but when you talk to him he's actually quite normal. I think it's because he's very accepting of everyone, as you can tell from being our first ever member of the week. If you don't know who to talk to when you come onto vent, the first person I would suggest is cow, because he's very considerate and would do his best to include you in games. He's also very encouraging and I think he plays a vital role in merging the members of the clan together.
OMG-Zoahr
Here is our vent channel, all are welcome, even just for a chat:
Lagwar's Ventrilo Serveroxygen.typefrag.com Port: 50216
You are more than welcome to use the OMG channel
Ya, the times i've been on at the same time as you u were doing your mods testing, and lately i'm having a proper sleep schedule so you won't see me on later than 7pm est. I'm getting an awful skill-game_quality whenever i get to play with 5 decent looking pugs, so it's not like Demigod is having me hooked into it
Really, the amount of braindead players with >300 games is astounding, and having an UB get Plague and lag down the thing to a crawl every game makes DG not a very enjoyable experience as of late.
It seems like when I check around what I would expect to be peak times of activity, there is a maximum of one public game, always containing the same 10 players.
Oh, and I finished all my college applications.
^Did you apply to any Canadian colleges, cause I think you totally should.
hrm computer troubles. Believe the mobo is broke but would welcome any advice:
Symptoms:
- Drove down a few hundred miles down and back to my friends house. Played lots of video games there. Came back up, hooked up the computer it worked fine for about an hour or two
- Suddenly, the computer just shuts down and fails to start back up.
I open the case and I look around. The heatsink is warm to the touch but not super hot so the CPU shouldn't have been fried by overheating (plus I have played much much longer without any issues before).
The lights in the motherboard are still on (eg, the "Start" button). However, the first time when I push start (the capacitators must be full) the fan will jiggle for a second but the computer will fail to start.
I do the following to try to get the computer to work (not in any particular order):
- Remove all the video cards and RAM to see if maybe my PSU is broken and not supplying enough power. It doesn't work still
- Remove sound card
- Checked all mobo power connections (12V, 3.5V)
- Used another stick of RAM in each of the slots one at a time to see if it starts
- Reseated my CPU (it looked fine)
- Cleared CMOS (first tried the button, then removed the battery for 30 seconds while disconnecting the power cable)
Since it's not posting or giving me any beep codes, I doubt it's my GPU. I tested with another stick of RAM so I don't think it's my RAM either.
This leaves my PSU, CPU and motherboard.
However, note that the lights do go on in my motherboard (and so did the light in my sound card when it was connected) so the PSU obviously isn't 100% fried, nor is my mobo.
Any other diagnostic things or tricks I can do to see what it is or potentially fix it? I really don't want to buy a new motherboard...
Notice anything else when the computer died on you? Garbled graphics, anything else? Or was it just boom - full power loss? Did you notice if when it shut down, were there any lights on your mobo at that time... odds are you didn't look immediately, and probably just tried to power it on again, but if you took a look before trying anything else, that might give some insight.
Do you have any spare's lying around that you can try? You probably would have done that already, but just throwing it out there.
I'd lean primarily towards this being a mobo (most likely) or psu problem. Have any buddies nearby with a halfway decent psu that they could let you try out if you don't have your own spare?
Obviously, the mobo problem is a bit more difficult to test, but that's likely where the issue is imo. Cpu fan spinning up for a moment and then "stalling out" makes me think its all a mobo issue.
was this a stick of ram that WASN'T in the system when your problems happened?
Hopefully its just your psu anyway, as that should be a little cheaper to replace.
No my graphics are fine. I'm reasonably certain it isn't my GPU, esp because it still doesn't POST without them being in it.
It was, literally, boom, power loss. No blue screen, no beeps, no stuttering or tearing graphics.
I didn't look, I just tried to hit the power button again. Then a few more times Then I opened it up and wasn't really looking at the mobo lights.
I don't have any spares, my plan is to go up north to my friend and try his PSU (he has an 850 W like me), and his CPU in my mobo as well (he has my old CPU, in fact). That's before I buy anything, and since I have free Amazon Prime and I can order it and ship it there if it turns out it is broken.
Yes, the stick of RAM is a spare DDR-800 that I use for testing.
I'm going to try taking out and putting back in my motherboard tonight. I read that sometimes a loose screw can cause what is happening and with the computer case being moved around and bumped in the car, and all, then maybe there is a short somewhere.
Well, sounds like you have a plan. If I get super frustrated on a pc I'm working on, I take the mobo out of the case and sit in on cardboard, mount the cpu/fan, 1 stick of ram, video card and psu. and then test from there (hook up the cabling to the case if you don't have a way to power it on without doing there). I usually go as bare bones a setup as I can... swap the ram in and out... change psus... then swap in a cheap alt vid card...
Anyway, hope you can sort it out without too much pain.
From what it sounds like, I had a very similar problem occur. However, flipping my power on had the fans start to turn a little, then crap out. I used a different power supply, and same thing occurred.
Anyway.. upon closer inspection of the motherboard, it appeared that a capacitor was bulging. I found a place that replaces capacitors, and they noticed a brown spot underneath the mobo effecting a different area nearby, and a component that couldn't be replaced. In the end, had to replace the mobo, and both power supplies had been fried (thankfully the store I got the replacement power supply at gave me a new one free).
Suggestions: Closely inspect your motherboard for any bulging / blown capacitors.. closely check the back for brown / black spots (it was a faint brown :/ ).
If it's only a blown capacitor, you can go to a t.v. repair shop or something and have them replace the capacitor for a low cost like $5 (was a bitch to find someone who could do it tho). The place I went to inspected the board, and tested shit to find out exactly what was wrong. Said they couldn't fix it and didn't charge anything
huzzah!
I took out the mobo, put it back in... nothing changed.
Then I disconnected one of my fans. It POSTs!
I was like
Anyway, turns out my mobo can't post if anything happens to be in that fan controller slot. Just DC'd it and attached it to another. Problem solved.
Weird how it broke as I was using it though...
But I'm just happy I don't have to drop down $200 or anything.
haha - well, that's awesome anyway. Glad the headache didn't turn into a $200 one.
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone. It's not warm when she's away. Ain't no sunshine when she's gone And she's always gone too long anytime she goes away. Wonder this time where she's gone, Wonder if she's gone to stay Ain't no sunshine when she's gone And this house just ain't no home anytime she goes away
Oh man there are so many good cow avatars out there!
And yet you still have the same one.. FIX IT.
It looks changed to me... hmmmmmmm

ROFL I stopped watching Husky / HD after GSL started.. but man that shit was hilarious!!
Soccer showed me that a few weeks ago and I pretty much shat myself.
Ok - so I'm likely going to make the plunge and get into a MMO. I'm looking at Eve online and WoW as the options (I've also heard some really good things about global agenda - no more monthly fees there and the game should be discounted soon).
Anyway, from what I've read:
Eve can take a really long time to get into the best and coolest ships, etc. It appears to have a somewhat steep learning curve and is pretty much best played in a group. There is a monthly recurring fee, but you can actually pay the monthly fee using in game credits after a few months, so it can become free to play if you are willing to put the time into it. There is a free 2 week trial (if I'm remembering that right).
WoW is WoW. Pretty much one of the most polished MMOs out there, receiving lots of support/updates and is about to have its another expansion released. You can (or could) buy the all of the original games for $10 (if you are lucky like I was) or $20. But then you need to shell out the additional money for cataclysm ($30 or $40). There is a monthly fee to play this game as well. Apparently, if you refer a friend, then they get quite the XP bonus and it makes leveling your character faster easier. There is a free 10 day trial.
Anyway, I know we have a few veterans of these games in OMG. I'm curious if they or anyone new to them would like to try these out with me (using the free trials, of course). Let me know and perhaps we can learn the game together or get some guidance from one of the experienced folks. Thanks
Oh - and PS, we were gibbering on about both games over here: http://forums.impulsedriven.com/401511
I am more than likely purchasing cataclysm @ midnight tonight (or else sometime tomorrow). After I hit 85 (a week tops), I'd be willing to run you through instances if you want to speed up the leveling process.
BTW the free trial is maximum lvl 20 (which RAF can get you in a couple hours lol). But the days carry over after you purchase.
Also, you don't need to purchase cataclysm until you actually get to the current lvl cap (80) or you want to play as a worgen / goblin (2 new races added in the expac), or you want to fly in Azeroth (not really beneficial until lvl 80 anyway).
I have all of the WoW games now. purchased them... might be foolish as I'm not sure if I enjoy it yet.. oh well.
Anyway, for any of you that have been on the fence and would like to give it a go, respond here and one of us will send you a link for the 10 day trial that gives you a 3x multiplier for xp (so you can level fast). Anyway, its a good time to try it out while several of us are low level.
As it is, rawrrr is helping me learn and I recruited trousersnake to give it a shot. If you are interested - respondo. Cya
I don't think I've ever seen you "not" purchase a game
That said, if you do get hooked on WoW you might end up saving money in the long run since you buy less games (:
Nah - I'm boned either way, sadly. I've had an annoying habit of buying more than a few games at discounts (I'm generally patient like that), but I have a pretty substantial backlog. I have like 4 360 games I haven't touched, 3 ps3 games, and > 8 pc games. Granted, all of those games probably cost me about 150 bucks total, but it takes me such a long time to finish the games.
Anyway, as it stand now - day 1 of WoW was woooo - I am dumb bat shite stupid quests for xp. I'm learning the system and I will give the game a fair shake, but I do not give a rip about collecting magical mushrooms to save some random shite from some random poison for 200 XP. I do it anyway as I'm trying to follow the breadcrumbs the developer choose, but I found it boring. What I'm really looking forward to is PvP and raids. But I need to log some time to get there.
Side note - it took me about an hour to get to level 7 or 8 without even using that 3x multiplier. So, it honestly won't take me a super long time to get to do the things I want to do, but I'm not a huge fan atm.
Suggest anyone that is curious about WoW to join me while I'm learning though and level quick.. at the extreme cost of free.
hence why I said it's 10x more fun to play with people (:
Did Rawr actually RAF you? I sure hope he did.
the beginning levels are basically the equivalent of a tutorial lol. It picks up a bit, but I can help power level you after I get to 85. Once you get to 58 the leveling becomes better. Also, the music is win in the game, I highly suggest having music on.
