  1. Some advice needed from the Surly embers on Bababooey. First of all, its been hugely exciting to watch the clan explode in the last couple weeks. I appreciate all of your efforts, especially DD and RT. As I said above, I was thinking about starting a feeder clan and I went ahead and did that today. BabaTwoeey. Just me for now. But I want y'all's opinion on how I introduce this to the overall clan. I'd like to start a family of clans, basically one for beginners/newbies, one Feeder clan (BabyBooey), the main clan, and maybe a side clan for main members who want don't want to grind for a season or two where they can just play at their leisure and relax or have a place for alt accounts (BabaBrewey). Having never been in a family of clans, I don't really know how that works, but would appreciate feedback on that and how to suggest some of the lower point members move to one of the other clans. We'll probably lose some folks and right now we don't have good replacements, so there will be a transition. The easiest time to do it is right when the new season starts. Anyways, any thoughts are appreciated.
  2. So it's just Surf now?
  3. Love it. You think like I do. You are dead on. It's what I do but to a lesser degree. I just grab the top few players who get a lot of points. The best targets are when there are 1-2 guys supporting the whole team and the pres has 0 points. But alas I'm mostly too highly ranked to get very many at all. The lesser clans are where it's at for sure. Half my HH matches are against C100. The rest are at least M2. HHII is better but limited as well. I really appreciate your efforts. I was getting burned out and quite honestly playing HH is a grind because it has to be so so perfect all the time. If I'm on and hitting all the shootouts within 2 yards and winning I keep playing otherwise I switch. Someday even 2 yards isn't even close. It's brutal. As far as the strategy going forward there will be some culling. This was a huge influx though so going to let it slide for a bit other than the complete no shows. If we can get 2 or 3 1-2k/season players that would be ideal. To get that you really have to find people playing for at least 8-10 points pretty match which is the hardest part. My plan is to create a clan family with Babatwoeey (Baba2eey) as a feeder clan and Babybooey as an intro clan. Anyways, you obviously think very strategically and I really appreciate the input. Always feel free to make suggestions on anything. I'm winging it
  4. deadshank. We're filling up fast if you're interested in jumping into our clan.
  5. I have to avoid watching one video because I'll end up watching 10. Love these even though I don't understand alot if the technical music stood. He does a great job of explaining.
  6. Is RT someone from the Shag?
  7. I'll be more worried about dead weight if we get another 10-15 people. For now I did he minds. I might give 1 or 2 the boot pretty quick though because they haven't been around for a couple months. BKZ is a friend and a complete beginner. I can boot her whenever but figured I'd she gets a few points then whatever. Is really tough for my main account because everyone is in Masters II - C100. They put up a ton of points but on well established teams. We don't have anything to offer they don't already have. I would love to get a couple really top players to work with on making our own tournament guides but I'll probably have to jump into another established clan for a season to make those connections. This season is a maintain season anyways. We don't have the horses to move up right now. I'm taking it easy because last season was too much, honestly. So I look at this season and next season as building the team and then hopefully have enough fire power to get top master 2 and stay there. I definitely appreciate your efforts in recruiting. Fud, you're good man, I just give you a hard time. There's no reason to push hard right now. FudDog on the other hand. [emoji23] I did enjoy you sharing a few beauties with the Down in One. Good to see it growing. I think T6-7 is the sweet spot for recruiting. Far enough along to get a decent idea of they are good and can generate points, but likely not in a M2+ clan already.
  8. Sucks. I remember going to Luby's all the time with my parents after church. Also remember a field trip in elementary school to Luby's on Steck because we were learning about money and it was an opportunity to use our newly acquired skills. Love the fried fish, mac and cheese and fried okra. Gotta see if there's one around me that's still open.
  9. Most of the places have been mentioned, but Union Kitchen and Dish Society (Hot chicken sandwich is great) are right there on Memorial as well. Roostar is at Gessner and Long Point just north of I-10. State Fare has some good eats and everyone forgets about it but Churrascos is upstairs from SF. Still excellent and never crowded. Urban American Kitchen is at Kirkwood/Memorial and solid. Sam's B&P has always been hit or miss for me.
  10. cool, I will probably download it and give it a try. The Golf Club games were just too difficult around the greens. There was no consistency it seemed. Very frustrating.
  11. I know its based on The Golf Club from a few years back which I had and really never got into it. It was too inconsistent, especially on putts/chips to be any fun. A couple of the reviews I watched said that this game play was definitely more forgiving than the originals, so that's definitely a good thing. In my mind the joysticks on the PS4 controllers are too loose to be consistent. I never got into Tiger Woods much either. Tried it with the motion controllers, but it seemed inconsistent and I have a bad back and it would get sore if I played it alot. TW also sucked because you'd start off with a driver that went about 14 yards and couldn't even reach the fairways in some cases. While Tiger Woods sucked because the club progression was not well done, it sounds like there isn't much in the way of club progression/upgrades in this game. A little disappointing, but it takes specific design considerations in order to make that feasible and if you're using actual courses, you don't have the ability to be creative - one of the things that Playdemic actually does a pretty good job with on Golf Clash. I love course designers though, and it sounds like that is pretty robust on this game. The originals were a little clunky - never made more than a few holes and never completed a full 9 holes. This review seems about how I felt with The Golf Club games - seems like its better, but not really there yet. https://www.washingtonpost.com/video-games/reviews/pga-tour-k-is-par-course/ How do societies work? Do you play against other players in the Society? Against other Societies? Do you have to schedule and play at certain times, e.g., are you playing head to head at the same time or do you just play a round and see what score you get?
  12. How is this game? I typically hate golf games on consoles.
  13. [emoji23]. I'm a surly asshole.
  14. We need 3 or 4, 5k players. Fud can be 1 of them if he'd play. I'm good for 8-10k. Sam and Cason are good for 1k. I think a few others are good for 800-1200k. Tough to recruit high volume players. Everyone I play is in a masters II clan or better. HHII is my better recruiting player... In the sweet spot, T5-7. You just can't put up many points 4 at a time needs to be at least 8 or 10 per win.
  15. Grab em
  16. We're definitely going to struggle until we get more members. We're in a league with hook em horns too. Surely some of those guys /gals here. Get on board!
  17. [emoji1787] Need some Deadshank too!
  18. Yeah, work is busy here too. Couldn't spend any time on the tournament and just had to play. Made the cut in masters but just shot -12 both rounds. Won't be playing much at all until later next week. We can definitely use you next season. Also if there's anyone other mercenaries looking for a place to take it easy, they are welcome.
  19. Haha, you've been doing work. How's it going? Your dog has been a vice captain.
  20. We're about to move up to Masters 1 so you get 5 bags and I think +90% gems. We aren't going to move past 1M without more players so we can use everyone we can get.
  21. I went through something just a few days ago like this. Almost every player had multiple gold banners. Every shootout was within a yard. Lots of holes in one. I didn't lose that many in a row but I bet I lost 25 of 30. It wasn't fun. But I have two other accounts so I just played those. Came back after a few days and it was much closer to normal. I think alot were replays. I've also noticed long times to get a match and even delays loading the game. So I think maybe they are having technical issues. If you're interested, you should come join our clan. Almost everyone on this thread is on the team. BABABOOEY! I try to post a lot of helpful information for general play and also for tournaments.
  22. Much respect [emoji109]
  23. Also might as well make some points for a team that is trying to move up and is sitting in decent shape to do that. [emoji16] We can still use all the points we can get.
  24. Any reason to continue to hold or time to get out?
  25. That tournament was definitely difficult to get drops. Lots of good chances but they were inconsistent. Sorry to hear y'all aren't going to get promoted. Right now we're looking on. Currently 15th and the top 20 get to move to M1. We'd love to have you on the team. We've added several players recently and definitely want to keep growing. Feel free to make the jump whenever - the earlier the better. We aren't guaranteed to get promoted and can use all the points we can get. In going to be putting out as much 9-hole tournament information as I can to help out the team.
