Uhm, yes, if you ask Crone. But many societies might have other thoughts about that. And ofcourse that is their deserved right. Then again… But Crone sure counts on societies being friendly for a week.
Thanks, Lezardine!
It’s actually a pretty smart idea. even if only a few allow him to visit he can sit back quietly scanning SOC chat and gain some understanding as to how loot cycles, trends, and “hot/cold” times affect high spending or extremely experienced players. He can then downsize that to a level that fits his skills/gear and maybe lose less money while he skills up.
Menace
Crone is not sure what you are talking about, he does know he cannot downsize. Most newbies are more skilled than him. This project saw the light in a flash of a second and Crone never thinks twice about a good idea. He will take every invitation as it comes by and enjoy a good chat. Whatever it is people chat about, could be for the good and the bad. As long as people appreciate Crone’s visit, all is well.
Rangers and Crone
As you all might know the Rangers invited Crone to be their guest for a week. Ofcourse Crone gratefully accepted. After a few hours his application was accepted and people started welcoming Crone as their guest. We made a few jokes about Crone’s initiation assignment. He was to be killed by a Malcruentor Stalker or … was it the other way around? Crone doesn’t remember anymore, afteral it was a joke. (He hopes.)
When he joined immediately he was presented a gift by a feffoid. Mai and Crone were finished talking to bots and started shooting at feffoids. One of them presented an ESI and one presented a Thunderbird helmet (M, L). Did you ever notice that feffoids run around like crazy when you shoot at them? Crone and Mai were advised by the Rangers to walk backwards while shooting feffoids and miraculously that worked.
He noticed that at some point he could repeat himself in soc chat frequently with saying “gratz”. Crone never noticed so many globals in a few hours as he did last night. Or actually it was still daytime.
Tonight Crone will be their biggest fan during the WOF event.
LIVE UPDATE:
Rangers are nice; Crone knows, he asked.

Can’t believe i haven’t spotted this thread earlier !
I’d just like to endorse Crone’s thread in saying that i’ve known Crone ingame for many years and been a soc mate for several years (you do actually get used to the third person talk with time :yup: !!). A studious, sociable and honest player, what he may lack (currently) in skills he makes up for in soc interaction and chat with a smart/dry humour.
Best of luck.
Goody

I think that may be my favorite quote of all time :yup:
BB likes this thread…BB enjoys reading…especially reading about this adventure…BB wishes Crone some good luck against the malcruentor.
Crone is in fond of Goodies reply for obvious reasons. 
Actually BB, Crone would think he is off the hook concerning that Malcruentor. Yesterday, Rangers took Crone for a society hunt. Total madness. First they went for Scipulor, gold fish with feet, Crone found two new outposts while hunting. Crone sure showed those scips.
Then they went for proteron. Proteron look like big elephants with a giraffe like neck and an E.T. head, also they seem to have too many leggs. Yet they are slow. Although the name of the team appeared in chat a few times it was a bad hunt in terms of ped.
Crone learnt something new about himself: he is a bad hunter, not only measured by skills. Ofcourse his new society mates for a week judge otherwise. It sure was fun.
I love this idea and look very much forward to read more of the ensuing adventures!
Actually Crone is one of the funniest guys that I got to know in EU and for those socs that miss out in letting him in I can only say that you are missing out a lot on hilarious humor and a fresh angle of view on your society :yup:

Amber would like to encourage Crone to post a picture or two from his adventurers.
This quest is a great read and will for sure continue to be!
Crone forgot to tell that skill gains are actually pretty funny. During that society hunt he mostly gained courage. Today Crone had a good talk with some of the members about hunting, since he was very bad at it last time. They told Crone that the difference between gain and loss was only small. Also that night Mai and Crone had a nice global on a small Atrox. A small global was enough to let Mai and Crone finish in positive numbers.
After the Atrox Mai and Crone went for drones. Drones died very fast tonight. Crone mentioned this in society chat and got a response that sounded somewhat like this: Crone is a Ranger now, so drones are now scared of him. Still many drones came after Mai and Crone trying to kill them, but that didn’t work out well… for the Drones. Also Mai and him ran into a Trooper. A Trooper is way to big for Crone to kill so they ran around the Trooper. Maybe if the Trooper knew, the Trooper would be scared like the drones. But Since Troopers don’t fit into a service center they probably can’t read the society terminal. Chances are Troopers don’t know Crone is Ranger for a week.
The loot didn’t chance. Dispite the story that people seem to believe that big societies get more loot is wrong. Crone can’t stand for that any longer. He doesn’t notice any difference. According to the society members you need to be smarter and wiser instead of complaining. Much has to do with discipline.
Crone remembers the day he was a sweater. Sweat would be sold at 1.5 pec, and if lucky even more, per bottle. Sweating really took discipline. Short after, Crone pulled out his wallet to avoid sweating. Crone just isn’t disciplined. This said he realises he has to change since the Universe won’t.

Nice reading,gl do you Crone in your path
Rangers and Crone almost comes to an end. He has to admit he had an awesome time with the Rangers. They were really nice. This time Crone knows from experience.
Crone isn’t sure about the next society that will invite him for a week yet, but the first week isn’t over either. The Rangers talked about everything with Crone, how their society functions, what they like to do, and sometimes a little bit about their real life.
Also the Rangers took Crone to some events. They went for WOF, a society hunt on Scipulors (they ate Crone as snack) and Proteron, a team hunt with some society mates, Mai could come aswell. They hunted Frescocuda’s that time. We even globalled that hunt. Ah, this makes him think when one member said his gun broke down. Then he pulled out a big sword and started banging with it. Crone believes that even with that sword he did more damage than Mai or Crone. That was pretty cool.
In between everything thing they also showed Crone how to hunt more economic. Sometimes a few %'s does the trick. Crone believes he made some new friends, he can only hope the Rangers believe the same. With that in mind he will enjoy the last (few) day(s) with the Rangers.

Crone left the Rangers today. The week has passed. 
Actually Crone has a very good time with the Rangers. They have been helpful, thoughtful and they are just nice people. Some of the lessons he learnt: play more economic unless you like to keep depositing. Second thing he learnt is that it will just take time to become a member of a top 50 most skilled society. If that is a goal at all. Just about 130k skills to go, maybe a bit less. Third thing he learnt is that there is nothing special about being in a top 50 most skilled society. Wrong. 
Crone explained why.
Where to find long time players better than in a top 50 most skilled society? Afteral it takes time to get skills. Anything special about long time players? No… mostly not, but they have been around for some time, they probably like the game and Crone rather plays with people having a positive mindset.
All this he learnt plus a lot of other things. How to hunt feffoids for instance.
Crone enjoyed his stay at the Rangers and is very honoured by being invited.
Since the week has passed Crone hopes there will be other societies willing to take him as guest for a week. He expects nothing than a bit of friendlyness, but that’s probably not going to be a problem since the society was friendly enough to invite him in the first place. That does not mean societies aren’t friendly when they don’t invite him. Actually this is getting confusing.
49 to go

As rangers we had the honor of welcoming Crone as a guest for a week. To the other top 50 societies out there i have a few things to say.
First off our rank didn’t drop dramatically, sure Crone hasn’t got 200k skills but he is no total noob neither, Crone was very well behaved, polite and fun. He was also able to join soc hunts on relative big mobs and survive. Ok we didn’t go for warlocks, but if we did, he woulnd’t have died more then me
And most important, Crone talking about Crone in the third person isn’t as annoying as some might think (we even cought him saying “I” once or twice :woot:)
We would like other societies to give Crone a chance as well, he’s an asset to any soc.
And Crone, when you have been in the other 49 socs, you are very welcome to start over again and join us for another week (or maybe even a few more).
You have went out of line while telling the story of Crone.
One shall not use the first person around him.
Crone begins to question your ability. You should be careful as Crone might overlook you, and have someone else spread his tales.

Crone can’t help his message is too short. Last time Crone had this problem he wrote a message of more than enough extra lines. This time he won’t do that, because it will be total $%@#. So he will just say the necessairy few words to make sure his smiley gets posted. Afteral who needs all the nonsense about nothing. Crone once learnt: “if you can’t say it in one line, then don’t say it.”
Oh well… too late now. Just don’t forget it was all about that smiley up there.
More on topic: It makes Crone happy to see you appreciated it aswell, Harmony. Crone sure did. Thanks again!
Crone, I like this thread and enjoyed reading it. Alpha WildD3amons will accept you in for a week but not this week more like the 5th or 6th of May. Reason being I am currently on NI BROKE and I don’t want to depo till next week in preparation for WoF. Others are around yes but makes no sense to join yet if your host isn’t active. So that will give you a week with a SOC if one opens the door till I can accept you into AWD.
