Operation: Salem Beta has now gone live. This is a title that KGB has been looking at in 2012 along with the other numerous quality titles scheduled for release this year and 2013. This operations focus is to get as many individuals in the Salem Beta as early as possible in order to get a grip on the game mechanics and min/max position for KGB to hit the ground running in this title. This operation is no different then any other KGB RECON effort in a title and KGB will continue to try and help with quality veteran input to help guide a game out of the loose zone.

****To sing up please see Salem Beta Oracle Thread. There is a referel process we will be using to make sure we are referring each other and get priority invites. ****


GO KGB!

For Beer and Glory!!

2011 Pre-Alpha Witchcraft Gameplay w/ Creative Director Björn Johannessen:

Great job inspector tas!

If you cut me, I bleed Beer & Win. What can I say.

-Primo Vato [Hive Number: 007]

Very sweet, can I get access thingy to it?

I like crafting, I am even open to permadeath... but is there PvP in the game?

If it is like HnH, yup. That's why permadeath is a big risk.

Yes there is PvP with consequences and full loot to include raiding other peoples stuff. Mind you, all with consequences, to include being hunted and put to Perma Death. In Salem they are going to try and implement a "Heredity" function so that the next character you make is considered the child and inherits some of the skills acquired by the character that died.

I was the master of dying in HnH

They had this in HnH.. As someone who also died (you didn't if I remember) you could recover some of your lost LP from a relative that died.. It was already there, ask Donk and I ;)

That is a good way of implementing statloss.

Full loot, PKing (so we can hunt them!).. sounds very exciting. I want to get in :)

I am ready to go Cortez on someone's ass!

As I don't think you've played HnH, here is what system it used (which may be the one in Salem): you could steal, damage property, trespass, attack people, kill them. But each of those act would leave a sent for some time depending on the gravity of the act.
A ranger could see and collect those sents then use them to pinpoint you, your hearthfire (your spawnpoint) or the stolen goods. When in range of your hearthfire, if the act was bad enough, they could summon you (specially if not online) to kill you.
Risk, reward, consequences: a very good system. The toon grind is just crazy as it has no limit.

Aww how I miss Donk 3!

Fuck! God damn bear killed me on my raft again, sumanabitch!!

Same main house(Paradox Games) as HnH. Expect to see the HnH rule sets as the undertone to the game mechanics. Essentially this is HnH 2.1 re-skinned, with upgrades, improvements and additions on every front of the game mechanics that drive this title.

Ah, the good ole days. I remember finding the bones of one of Donk's corpses on a hunting expedition.

Donk 3 had the strongest foundation in the land!

Heaven forbid the server drops and your boat dissapears!

This sounds kinda interesting! Ranger sounds historical KGBish.

It's definitely serious business. Being a good ranger with a solid reputation is one of the most lucrative things in that game.

Very fulfilling.

This is why we did a recon of HnH.

Some of us here playing also. :)

Re-apply for Citizenship.

You got me in a good mood.

Item #1. History of KGB Citizenship: http://oracle.the-kgb.com/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=73718#Post73718

Item #1.A The Oath At no times limits one Citizenship to activity, nor being playing the same games as The KGB :

Oath of KGB

As a Citizen of the KGB Nation, my personal integrity is irreproachable. I will never degrade myself by the lying to, cheating of, stealing from, or harming my fellow Citizens or declared Allies. I hold myself personally and unequivocally responsible to ensure the preservation of the honor of the Citizenship and good name of the KGB at all times. I will, to the best of my power, uphold and defend the KGB Constitution while preventing all offences against the persons and properties of the KGB Nation.


Item #2. So I have shown I am a Citizen of KGB. Since there is no evadince of being expiled nor exiled. Nor have I at any time in the pass renounced my Citizenship. I am a Ciztizen of KGB, regradless if I am in a game currently played by The KGB.

Item #3. There is no Offical Faction, nor Open Faction in HnH. : http://www.havenandhearth.com/forum/search.php?keywords=*KGB&terms=all&author=&sc=1&sf=all&sr=posts&sk=t&sd=d&st=0&ch=300&t=0&submit=Search

In Summary:

I am a Citizen of The Knights of Glory and Beer. There is no faction in HnH nor does there appear to be one for Salem to apply to.

Uh I am confused, you said you needed access to the Secure section of the KGB Oracle and you are marked "Band-1" So either you are or you are not a Citizen, which one is it?

If you are a citizen, then you have full access to the Oracle, if you are not a Citizen and don't have full access to the Oracle, then see my previous post and re-apply.

You probably got flushed during a purge for failing to log into the Oracle for more then 90 days.

Lastly, please don't get in a pissing match with me over the KGB Articles of Confederation. I was simply responding to your request for access to the secure section of the forum.

Reapply...you have my vote. :)

Well seeing how this is your first time to quote my request for access, then yes, this is your first time responding to it. Yes my access was purged from the forums but not my citizenship, and you clearly posted re-apply for cizitenship and not access. Third I am not in a pissing contest, and if you can't handle someone plainly and rightfully standing up for themsleves, then the issue is with your self and not me. And lastly, thank you for useing please this time. Thank you very much. Respect goes a long way.:)

And yes I will reapply for access. Thank you for your time.

Red, don't fret over was Tas says... He's just an old troll. ;)

Both of you can kiss my old troll ass.

Now that brought a smile to my face, lol, thank you.

And yes slinger I agree.

Tas is not old....so silly that boy is still wet behind the ears(don't ask why...sick) but he is a troll.
