well there are multiple clans that make up this larger outfit. for example im from Tappa Kegga Brew, but there is also THZ, x-men, and los among others. i think you just ask the CO of the clan u want in then u will be in here.... i think thats how it works heh.

so once the game goes gold are all of these ppl going to be in the one ATF outfit, or will they be separate, because i saw TKB on the PSU outfit database as well as ATF but none of the others were there

:bounce: :shoot3:

we'll all be under the ATF umbrella, i believe TKB was on there as we'll most likely play on other servers as well. but ATF is going to be playing US Central.

does that help answer you question?

THZ(T1 and T2), SoUP(T2 and BF1942), LoS(T1, T2 and BF1942), XMEN(T1 and T2) and TKB(not sure) are all Tribes clans that all united to make one big ATF clan.

Ok, so Johnny and Darb have done a great job of explaining things so far. Your best experiance would be to join one of the member tribes, and then you're automatically in ATF.

A little Overview of ATF: We're a group of affiliated Tribes clans that have formed this alliance to create the Allied Tribal Forces outfit in planetside.

Basically, we're like a templayers guild in T2, like the Dragon Talon Mercenaries. ([DTM]) Basiclly we like to have people in ATF from member tribes, but when we have independents coming in, we like to encourage tribal membership first, and we also let them know that we do have an Indie squad if you do not want to join any other Tribes.

Tribal membership is usually easier than ATF membership, but we like having fun loving respectful individuals here. We have some peeps in beta, so we're getting a really good understanding of how things work in the game.

If you're interested in checking out some member clans, I've got some links for you;

http://www.xmenclan.org <-- XMEN site
http://www.thzclan.com <-- THZ* site
http://www.lordsofsteel.net <-- LoS site
http://www.dragontalonmercs.com <-- DTM site

If you have more questions, you can post them here, or you can Email me at spinninghat@thzclan.com

Speaking from a Houston area TKBer, hell about 10 of us are here in Houston area. We'd be honored to have ya if ya meet our recruitment criteria. Not too strict at all, mostly an age thing.

Check us out at http://www.tappakeggabrew.com

We're prob going to have a few LANs at my house if the bandwith isn't too great from the client side, hope to get 10 or so on the cable line, man that would rock for some combined assaults and some beer guzzlin! Not to forget a huge pot of chicken and sausage gumbo!

argh . Farkin dialup I hate it..

I just posted this once but it wasnt my turn to have a packet from earthlink so I lost my whole reply in page not found error.. ARGH..

Anyways.. I will have to make a TKB lan but on other hand were closer to starting this Wireless ISP so I may be tied down here for like next year running this.. But that would also mean we are prime candidate for hosting a Lan here in Colorado springs then we could all play planetside and hot have a bandwidth issue at all. THe basement here is hugemungous. Room for about 35 and it has its own kitchen.. Kids bedroom has 4 beds in it and there is also extra bedrom upstairs. Send kid to neighbors to stay the night.. We could do a TKB garden of the Gods pic shoot.. LOL just show the flatlanders around some.. Depending on who comes out and how long there here we could goto royal gourge and check out that.. Dunno or just play the whole time. LOL

But, to get back on track:

Insaneferret: You say ATF seems to be the best outfit in the PSU database? I couldn't have said it better myself. You are very much welcome, even though these old-time bastards over here hijack your thread. :D

Hope to see you ingame by release.:shoot6:

*edit: I will also emphasize the fact that we would prefer if you applied to one of the member tribes, which would give you instant membership in ATF.

I am afraid of gumbo... Something wrong with flour and oil mixing as the base of a food substance..... *shudder*

04-02-2003, 07:50 AM
SHUT YOUR PIE-HOLE DARB!!! :twhack: I'm talkin' about LANs. How'd you think we got to talking about gumbo in the first place.

....but since we're on the topic....


Flour and oil is actually used by a lot of chefs to thicken broths and the like. If you dump flour in by itself, it clumps up and sticks together and then you get lumpy crap rather than a nice thick and hearty base.

BTW: how come the gumbo recipe doesn't say how much of either flour and oil. Are we just supposed to eyeball it? :confused:

Malthus
04-02-2003, 08:14 AM
Yep...you can't really tell how much to use because every time you make it it's gonna be different. It will also depend on how thick you like your gumbo (or soup or stew or gravy). :)

Thanks for the recipe!

/me is a big cook and always on the lookout for new stuff to try :)

Ashaman
04-02-2003, 03:05 PM
Roux is the base for almost every soup/stew/gumbo from the south.

You can basically add any kind of starch to something to thicken it. Mashed potato in clam chowder, cornstarch to turkey gravy, flour to chicken soup.

It's only a roux when you mix the starch with an oil. Olive oil and flour is my favorite to make.



I was wondering, Darb, in your gumbo could you use white meat chicken. Say smoked chicken mixed with baked chicken (each seasoned differently)?

Ooh! have you tried adding celery and/or carrots to that?

DaRB
04-02-2003, 07:05 PM
^^^^


yes to all of that.


and roux is traditionally equal parts fat and flour, whatever u use for fat in your area,


me, i use a pound of butter, to a pound of flour (3.5 cups) and the longer you cook it after the butter melts and u mix in the flour, determines, taste, and color added to whatever you put your roux in, so, you can have blonde, brown, and black roux, perspectively, although black really isnt' burned, its more of a deep brown.

DaRB
04-03-2003, 07:02 AM
ther is some kind of thickener in almost everything u EVER eat when u go out, salad dressings, soups, sauces, etc. i really dont see why it bothers u that much, i mean, u get like half a pound of roux, ( just over a cup or so MAYBE ) for 5 gallons of stuff....


thats really not that much.
