We have a lot of active players. We are one of the major town control (TC) gangs. Currently we are allied with Tim & Tom & Ted Lawyer Agency (TTTLA) as Children of Atom (CoA). Above all Crazy 88 is a social group. Meaning we do things together whether it's TC or player versus player (PvP), helping new players, hunting or leveling.

Crazy88's leader is LeonTheNorse, his second in command is John Porno.

Reqruitment

Crazy 88's ranks are open for recruits. You can file an application in our recruitment forum using our application form. Applications from guests don't show much eagerness to join and will not be taken seriously. To be accepted as a recruit and wear our recruit tags on IRC, you will need 3 members to vote in your favour. You can accomplish this by being active in-game, on our forum and on our IRC channel. That way we can get to know you. Keep in mind that activeness is a requirement, but not the only one.

Offer

We offer:

1. Friendly atmosphere
2. The opportunity to meet new people from other countries
3. Access to base(s)
4. Free gear
5. TC, PvP, training
6. Group hunts, help with leveling and other in-game help
7. Help with character builds

Requirements

We require:

1. Being able to communicate in English. Both in speech and writing. We don't expect perfection, just as long as you can make yourself understood
2. Respecting the rules introduced in the movie
3. Being active in-game, on our IRC channel #Crazy88 clients and on our forum
4. Having Mumble installed
5. Mature behaviour. No insulting, name calling, grieving, flaming, trolling, etc. in-game, on the [href=http://www.fonline2238.net/forum official forum], IRC and our forum. Always keep in mind that your behaviour reflects on the rest of the gang!

The Rules of The Omegram

1. Do not retreat from battles leaving your teammates behind. It's not really a matter of "bravery" but simple mathematics. If you die, we will help you to stand on your feets. But if you flee - you will be useless.
2. If somebody is asking you to help - do it. You know - being friendly is actually the best way to make friends.
   Also you should NOT kill other players without a good reason. PKs will be banished at once.
3. If you take gear from Clan's storage, then you should leave something in exchange. Craft some stuff. Bring some loot. Parasites will be punished.
4. Visit clan's forum or IRC channel often. You don't have to play everyday, but you really should keep in contact. We like to know, how are our members.
   Also learn how to use Mumble voice communicator if you want to take part in Town Control. It's not necessary, but make thing much easier.
   One more thing: clan's friends are your friends. You should know them, and respect them.
5. Be polite to all clan members. Yes, we represent many cultures, nationalities, ideologies n'stuff, but we're the same damn team! So if you can't respect opinions of others - then shut up!
   Also keep in mind that Fonline 2238 is only a game. Do NOT EVER take it more serious than your real-life, health, girlfriend, school, job, kids, beer etc.

Anti Player Killer

To understand this section, you first have to understand that anti player killer (APK) is a contradictio in terminis for all TC/PvP gangs. During TC and PvP you will encounter enemies and you will fight them. Therefore you will kill other players.
Many people have different definitions of APK. Some say APK means you never kill another player. Others, like us, have a more realistic view and live by our own APK code.
Crazy 88 considers itself as an APK gang. To us this means:

• we will shoot our enemies on sight
• we will shoot known PKs on sight
• we will shoot known suicide bombers and 1 hex bursters on sight
• we will shoot known thieves and grievers on sight
• we don't shoot strangers on sight. However when they shoot at us, we will shoot back

Despite the above sometimes someone gets killed unintentionally or undeserved. We can't help unintentional kills as these will most likely occur during fights. Our apologies when that happens. When you feel you've been wrongfully killed, for instance when entering one of our towns or during an encounter, talk with the killer and ask why. Make a screenshot when it happens. If you're not satisfied with the killer's answer or they don't answer at all, you can contact us on our IRC channel. With no proof and no names, we won't be able to clear things up.

These rules only apply to Crazy 88. They don't apply for CoA during TC or PvP (see the following sections). Both the alliance and TC/PvP require us to follow a different set of rules for our safety.

Please keep in mind that some players kill others and than claim to be from some gang.

Town control

Crazy 88 is a faction which actively participates in TC. Currently we do TC together with TTTLA under the name of CoA. We try to take other gangs' towns and try to defend ours. To do this we use various tactics and strategies partly based upon the town we fight in. During battles and in preperation of them we communicate using Mumble. This includes those who don't have a microphone. Communication is key during combat, so Mumble is a must. Even if you can't quickly communicate because you have no microphone, our leader(s) in combat can quickly inform you and give orders.
When we're doing TC we have no other choice than to consider all strangers enemies. We can't know if you're an innocent player or an enemy scout, loot stealer, suicide bomber, 1 hex burster, etc. So to not take chances you will be shot on sight during TC. This includes the time before starting the TC timer when we kill the militia and any known enemy present. Keep in mind that most TC gangs apply these same rules, so simply never enter a town when the TC-timer is running. We do warn people that there is a fight going and they should leave town for as long the hostilities are going on.
When we kill you and you're an innocent player, you can come back for your stuff once the TC-timer is off and we have taken the town. Check your pipboy for that. We don't guarantee your stuff will still be there, we do guarantee that we won't loot it. When we control a town, we will try to keep it clean of PKs. When we control a town with a mine, we will try to keep the mine clean of PKs as well.

Player versus Player

We do PvP in New Reno. This might be as a small group with some none Crazy 88 friends, as a group of Crazy 88 or with our allies TTTLA. In New Reno no one can be considered innocent as everyone there is most likely there to scout, to loot or to kill.
