Talk:Colon Police

Question?

Are you going to add "Clan with most alts", or possibly "Biggest Zerging Clan" to your claims to fame? Because man, with so many members... only 1 have added their name to the Members List on the Wiki....? -el Che 15:55, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

• Bit of a retard aren't you Che? Have you actually looked at the profile of that one person who has added their details? You know I'm getting really sick of the Colonial Police spitting their dummies and crying about "zerging" - you really are a bunch of pathetic losers. For the last time check out our website 5punk where you will are that we are an established gaming community. Now please stop with the stupid name calling, it makes you sound foolish and it hurts our delicate feelings. --Roman Totale 11:56, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

So you're not going to add the zerging part? 'Cause I will. -el Che 18:32, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

Zerging? Really, we're not. Infact, if you honestly think we are, report us to the shartak dev, then they can do all the IP checking you want to and you'll find out that we're not zerging. Hopefully that'll satisfy you as even though 5punk is freely available for you to look at you appear not to notice that fact there's a whole chunk of us having conversations and there's various pictures also confirming we're different people. - Buzzmong

In terms of Shartak, a definition that may be more appropriate for Zerging comes from the Shartak FAQ -

What is zerging? Put simply, zerging is creating multiple characters for the purpose of attacking a common target, healing each other, or other forms of interaction that give you an unfair advantage over other players. ... Because it ruins the game for those who play fairly, zerging behaviour is frowned upon.

Creating a character to kill a shaman, in order to allow others to haunt a medical hut seems to violate the spirit (pun intended) of fairness that the above and other items in the FAQ aim to encourage.

While as an organized body both 5punk and the Colon Police may not condone zerging, you have members who have or are zerging - and the taint by association will be cast upon the clans, not just the individuals. Police your own, and maybe the rest of the Shartak community may raise their opinions of you. --Johan Crichton 22:17, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

While the creation of HTKL was moderately iffy, 5punk/Colon Police are now very well regulated from within, afaik none of us do anything close to zerging.

Also, HTKL (here to kill lacuna) is a char taking shartak reasonably seriously, and the driving force behind a lot of our alliances and friends within york, hell, even lacuna is a member of our forums and not hostile towards us. Htkl 18:50, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

That's good to hear - but you may find that actions speak louder than words - and once you've got a tainted reputation, it can be hard to shake it without openness. Is there a reason that the clan membership for the Colon Police isn't public? --Johan Crichton 21:26, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

No reason that I know of, suspect it was just set that way to protect us while we were growing, will ask the owner to make it open to some level when I see him online --Htkl 22:11, 11 April 2007 (UTC)
