The Screenshot Thread: Version 2.0

[Logo]

This might be a good idea to have... again! I'll kick it off with some good drunken fun. ;D

I really love the surreal feel of this one: Dream Sequence
Never ask Logo to mix your drinks: My legs! I have no legs!
Where the whales cannot follow: The End of Nowhere

And some people don't need alcohol to lose their minds:

I don't think this guy has it in him to be the Arch Nemesis of the Republic.

Mr. Owl, how would you describe this new, EXTREME, screenshot thread?

[Triia]

Spam?? There shall be no spam here! Only amusing screenshots of guild members making fools of themselves... or pretty landscapes.

[Rico]

I am not wearing any pants.

[Kaiser]

Triia, you wanted a pair of antlers, so I let you borrow mine, but I didn't tell you. Here's the proof:

You're welcome ;D

[Kaiser]

And just for the heck of it, here is evidence of our EXTREME 1337N355:

Hehe, it looks great! Can I see how they'd look on Triia one of these days? Thanks for the secret loan.

[Kaiser]

And finally (for now) I give you the mens room in the Northern Shiverpeaks (because Jupiter made me)

My apologies for the poor quality and old guild cape.

[Malae]

I have a few to post

Someone has stolen our cape!
GvG dealage
Looks spiffy!
The leadership debate, okay, Rico was drunk.
Logo had to work some things out
Random Monkeyness
Naked ressing!
Back view of why we needed the speech
25 consecutive wins
Drunken hugs!

And finally, IT'S BACK!!!!

In between:

I thought we should try to keep some of the guild's history intact, so I've moved a few posts over from the old site.

This is Logo's original post in the screenshot thread commemorating the establishment of the Republic's guild hall.

I once lamented that the Half-Life Republic would never see the day when 8 competent people would log on at the same time.

Well, I'm still not sure about the competent part, but...


Here are some screenshots to commemorate this glorious day in the Half-Life Republic.

The Presentation of the Sigil
Our Fearless Leader Buys the Hall

We purchased the Warrior's Isle based on a combination of aesthetics and strategy. I still say it looks like an oriental western movie..
Sunset
Skyline

Unfortunately, Triia will have to live without her "spot" in the Wizard's Isle.
The Spot

Nul Chaos gazes upon his subjects, and Monkey still can't sit still.
Our Celebration

The most imporant thing about the Warrior's Isle, however, is that it features it's very own Puddle of Destiny. Just make sure not to drink the water.
Puddle of Destiny Version 2.0
No wonder we can't win a GvG battle to save our lives...

One of mine that isn't really all that interesting other than a classic Monkey conversation.

Some screens I've been meaning to post:

Here's what a boss should look like.

A shrine to Grenth in the wilderness between Beacon's Perch and Camp Rankor.

Another lovely conversation with Monkey.

Yes, I like shrines... Here's one to Lyssa in the cave in Mineral Springs.

Finally! The entrance to Sorrow's Furnace. Note the tiny figures at the bottom. It's a BIG place.

Inside the Furnace.

One more.

A proud moment as we completed the last mission as a group.

Look at all of the orange capes! It was great to be able to finish the final mission as a group.

Despite its incriminating nature, I felt this series after an odd trip to UW had to be included. Logo started things off.

Now, after many long months of Icarusian terror, I have returned to this sacred thread. Let the rejoicing commence!

Not very hellish... i16.photobucket.com/albums/b4/IntegrateThis/AncientMist.jpg
Okay, that's more like it: i16.photobucket.com/albums/b4/IntegrateThis/Traps.jpg

And then it started to get a bit weird..


And not long after...


But please, don't hold it against us! It was 4 in the morning, and Triia was terribly tipsy from her drink of "water".

Kaiser, on the other hand, chose to post something more reasonable.

I had a lot of fun in the underworld with you guys the other night. Here is the shot of us all roaring at the cliff:

Having to defend my previously stated refusal to wear the 15k Druids armor against Admiral mistaking Malae for me, led to this one.

It's very true Admiral, I still refuse to wear a thong. Although I must admit, I am enjoying my leather necro armor quite a bit; it goes so nicely with my whip. *still need an evil grin smilie*

I think the real question at hand though, is why does Malae have Rico's pants and how did he get them in the first place? Hmmm? And perhaps we should be less concerned with me allegedly being "tipsy" than Logo's recent increased interest in punishment and pointy armor.


Of course, Malae seems to be buying into it too.


Oh, and don't let Logo try to fool you with some false sense of somberness about Monkey's demise. We weren't all that respectful.

General guild oddities, posted by Logo.

This is Monkey's idea of a Grand Adventure:




And this is an approximation of what would happen if a pack of drunken whales went to Target to buy some choxie and tripped over an army of rabid snails commanded by a swiss-cheese covered Osama Bin Laden munching chocolate peanuts.

If anyone else has some favorites from the old site, just use the quote or edit functions on the post and cut and paste it here. You may need to change some of the url tags to img if you are using quote instead of edit (at least I did).

Holidays with the Republic!

Halloween fun:

From Logo:

Here are some screens of the fun. I'd recommend seeing it for yourself before you spoil it, though.

More from Logo:

Do you want to be as cool as us?
i16.photobucket.com/albums/b4/IntegrateThis/Pumpkin.jpg

Then show up in Lion's Arch tonight at 6, 9, or 12 EST and wait for the Mad King to arrive. He'll ask you to perform a variety of actions, which you must execute using emotes. For example, if he tells a joke, type /laugh. If you're successful, you'll get a halloween item, and if you fail, you'll die. Everyone gets a pumpkin hat in the end, though.

I find it vaguely depressing that I spent my Halloween visiting an imaginary Mad Pumpkin King, but that didn't make yesterday any less fun.


And here are some more screens of most of us:

On to Christmas!

Malae and I were just about to leave when the update came out last night. We had a great time touring around and watching some matches (Observation mode at last! Woohoo!!). I hope we can all get together if there is a finale like Halloween. Hmm, santa hats or reindeer antlers, maybe?

This is from the update notes:

Game Update Notes


Update - Wednesday, December 21

Season's Greetings

(Please sing along to the tune of The Twelve Days of Christmas.)

On the twelfth moon of Wintersday ArenaNet gave to me...
Blessings from Dwayna
Festive decorations
One mighty snowman
Weapons made of candy
Gifts that might kill you
Snow-covered henchmen
New winter monsters
Some really long quests

Lots of drinking Dwarves
Gingerbread shields
Curses from Grenth
And a new way to watch PvP!

Check the above link for more info on observation mode.

Here are a few pics.

Overview of LA plaza

Everyone knows the big presents are the best

Obligatory tourist photo

Malae is easily excited by large pastries

Why nukers should never get too close to the snowmen

There's even merriment at Tombs

Candycane guardians

It's even snowing in Ascalon!

Malae, showing of his lovely new weaponry:

Merry Christmas everyone!

Varcal is getting in the holiday spirit with some candy cane weapons!
Candy Sword + Ginger bread shield
MANLY CANDY HAMMER RAWR!

Logo's post about the ending celebrations:

The Wintersday stuff started on noon (PST), New Years Eve, and will repeat itself every 3 hours until the end of New Years Day. Make sure to clean your inventory beforehand, as there is much gift-giving.

The "final showdown" between Grenth and Dwayna is really almost disappointingly simple - people simply crowd around the avatar of their choice and eh... sit there. Whichever god has the most supporters after about 15 minutes wins - a victory for Dwayna will give you a Santa Hat, while a victory for Grenth will give you antlers (mind powers again, Triia? D: ). Then there are some nice fireworks and random spawning of winter gifts, as idiots run around screaming "f*g!" to everyone who tries to "steal" their gifts. Nothing like a little holiday cheer...


(Symbolic that Monkey is the only one with horns?)

Here are some pics of the fireworks - but I'd suggest seeing it for yourself before you spoil it:

[Malae]

Have some recent ones

First, Crimson decides the laws of gravity don't apply.
Huzzah!
Got this by mistake, funny look.
Hopeless and longing, sigh.
Yes, we are orderly and respectful.
Thank you Jupiter!
Jupiter and Mr. Frog.
No comment.
Hello!
It's as if my soul was sucked out of me, cold and gripping death. It can't be over...
This ranger went all out.
Logo is such an emo.

[Jupiter]

First and foremost the requested proof that Kaiser and I did Thunderhead Keep with just henchies. If that's not good enough I do have 2 more that prove Lina is the one hiding.
Then historical ones. The old guild where we...
took cool Ranger pics: where's point blank shot when I need it? and rangers are just cool.
We tried roasting marshmallows, partying with Rurik, andpretended to be Henchies.
Discovered anomalies like missing leg parts and other graphics issues including cool armor.
Kaiser who's always putting his nose where it doesn't belong.
And my artistic side: Portrait of a Necro, spirit bomb?, Thin, like butter spread over too much bread, and the ever popular jumping out of giant carcases.
Then came the new TK experience and yet again with the cool ranger pics and the parties, parties and parties.
We did a group squat that was new to me.

That pretty much brings us to present day funniness:
New Indian name for Logo - Dances With Monks
Gigantic cookies look great but don't feel so great.
My new and improved Spirit bomb.
Malae, Kaiser is copying my dealage homework.
Triia helped discover a new modern art: Monk Art.
Alone is better than being outnumbered.
Monkey censors Kaiser in an odd way.
This would be scary to happen upon.
Discussing the finer points of crabs.
Which brings up a disturbing question about Malae. Why does he have to watch so many guys before he gets the hang of it?
While we're picking on Malae: Poor Stefan
And something to keep you hungry for more:
What goes in must come out.
There's more but I'm spent.

Some pics from Wizard's Isle:

Here's my new house, right on the rim of the fort. (So I can pwn the n00bs and their 00b brethren first, of course.)

I'm checking out my great new view of our cliff diving arena.

Here's the frontal view from my house.

Edited for certain reasons by Narcolepsy.

Ok?

[Jupiter]

Isn't this the most beautiful screenie you've ever seen? Except for maybe this or this?
And oddities on Wizards Isle that prove the volcano did erupt: the tree through the house and the waterfall.
Playing with the new professions - don't ask what Kaiser was doing.
Another Fapper?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
