Winged Warriors

    Welcome to the Winged Warriors 2005 news archive. Our website was released on August 21st of 2005, this page contains every update from that time to the end of 2005.

December 25th 2005 - Important News:

    Clan members: Do not miss tomorrow night's mandatory meeting at 9:00pm central time! We will be reorganizing the clan and this meeting is an important part of what we will be doing. During that update we will be making some announcements crucial to the clans future. DO NOT MISS THIS MEETING!
  An update on our last post, The Praetoria Guard will not be included in our live combat simulation rooster because of secret issues with their stratagies, however, this does not mean that they will not be included in future clan matches. On the same note, any clan interested in being a part of an excellent training opportunity should contact us about playing with the Winged Warriors in our live combat simulation sessions.
  The Winged Warriors will be holding tryouts soon, we will release the date here on our website within two weeks.

December 21st 2005 - L.C.S. Tryout and Clan update:

    After two disappointing weeks of the Praetoria Guard not showing up for Live Combat Simulations as promised the Winged Warriors have moved on. We might still play them in the future but that is their decision as we will gladly play with them when they get their stuff together. Last Wednesday the 14th of December we practiced with a clan by the name of the JUGGERNAUTS, it was a good practice and we even extended it to three or four games instead of just two. We will continue to play with the JUGGERNAUTS and a few other clans every Wednesday at 8:00pm central time.
  The Winged Warriors will be holding tryouts again soon, if you would like to receive a notice concerning the upcoming tryout schedule and agenda please e-mail Pieter@wingrunner.com with your request.
  Clan members please note that there will be a mandatory meeting before the end of the year, check your e-mail for details.

November 21st 2005 - New practices of the Winged Warriors:

    The Winged Warriors will be introducing a new style of training for their practices. This new style, called Live Combat Simulations (or L.C.S.), will be officially implemented on Wednesday November 30th with our friends in the Praetoria Guard. Check the new practice schedule for the starting time.

November 14th 2005 - Player News:

    The Winged Warriors would like to thank every one who expressed support and interest in the clan by showing up for tryouts, they were a success. We would also like to welcome the newest additions to the clan: I SICARIUS I and Bongo Boys. They have passed both stages of the tryout and will begin active roles in clan activities immediately. We also need to annoucne that Kaleo1127 had to change his gamertag to Killacoop (don't get confused, it's still the same David we know and love), and that Wingrunner and ZakJake144 will be taken off the rooster. Wingrunner, which was Night Rider's secondary account, and Danny's gamertag ZakJake144 have both expired. We will update the online rooster on November the 21st, taking off the old gamertags, switching expired ones and of course adding the newest ones.
  We still have two more players that have not had an interview for the clan yet, we will post an update on that as soon as we know the results. We have modified our practice schedule once again. This time all we are changing is the day. We will practice on Mondays at 9:00pm central time with an optional practice on Tuesdays. For more details on that simply check out the practice schedule.

November 11th, 2005 - Tryout update:

    Preparations for the tryouts are almost completed. We have the schedule and agenda already in place and are now running through a few hypotheticals and supplementary planning. Players planning on trying out will need to have a valid e-mail address ready so we can notify them of their results. I cannot tell you how much time and extra work we've put into getting this ready for you guys and hope to see a strong turnout of players on Sunday the 13th at 9:00pm central. Best wishes and good luck to all who will be trying out.

November 7th 2005 - Tryouts and new practice schedule:

    The Winged Warriors will be holding tryouts for membership on Sunday the 13th at 9:00pm central time. This is the first time we will hold open tryouts and could be the only tryouts we will hold this year. Anyone who has questions about the tryouts should check the F.A.Q. for a brief rundown of the tryout agenda. We have a new practice schedule posted which will take effect begining on Tuesday the 15th of November 2005.

November 1st, 2005 - Clan news:

    A quick update for the Winged Warriors this time. First off, Kaleo1127's profile has been uploaded, be sure to give it a look. Our new pracitce schedule, which will be in effect untill Christmas break, will be released on November 7th. Please check the website for the new schedule when it comes out. We will be holding tryouts on or before the 14th of November. Anyone who is interested in this oppurtunity should send an e-mail to Night Rider 7 at Pieter@wingrunner.com as soon as possible. Finally we are looking for a reputable clan to practice with and against on a regular basis.

October 18th 2005 - Wizards, conartist or just plain scummbags?

    Mixed news in the clan this week. First, some of the good news: Three of the most active players banded together recently to thrust the clan's Minor Clanmatch rank four levels up in less than thirty minutes of combat. The only bad news is that the next meeting of these very same elite Winged Warriors was met with cheaters. Thats right, those same dirty little pipsqueaks who seem to have such a low level of self esteem or grasp on reality that they resort to modifying their xbox. Take it from us, it is not fun playing against anyone who has an arsenal that includes an automatic sniper rifle, a flying warthog and a battle rifle that shoots ten times as fast as your own. Did I mention that they never missed? I know that most people already know this but if you're so bad that you have to cheat, you will never get any better while you continue to ruin other players games. When you have a thousand advantages that are not supposed to exist, how will you play when those advantages are taken away? The other thing that knocks at the door of every person's mind who has ever been injusticed by these sort of characters is why? Why do they do it? Minds have tried and tried, even the cheaters cannot think of a logical reason other than its fun or they enjoy making others frusterated. And finally do these selfish people even realize how terribly they ruin the game for the rest of us? Please join us and millions of other players by reporting cheaters at Halo 2 cheaters.
  Just so we don't end on a sour note here is a little more information concerning the Winged Warriors: Interest is picking up, we currently have the largest amount of players waiting to tryout in clan history. If you're intrested in trying out for this one of a kind clan please e-mail pieter@wingrunner.com with "tryouts" in the subject line. Include a brief description about yourself and why you would like to join this steady clan of spartans. Also talks have started concerning our next match witch will be against the previoulsy mentioned Praetoria Guard. We are currently working out the details on the gametypes, roster and schedule.

October 5th, 2005 - A few updates:

    We've updated Dameon's quote in order with unofficial clan rules concerning profiles. We suggest everyone in the clan have a look at his updated profile. In other news we have started a good relationship with several members of another high quality clan called the Praetoria Guard. We look forward to a good alliance and even better practice against this high profile yet friendly clan.

September 19th, 2005 - Match results posted, profiles updated:

    Results from yesterday's clan match against WayoftheFuture have been posted. The player profiles that have been updated are as follows; Night Rider 7, PeterBX & Dameon x. To all other clan members, simply e-mail your completed profile to pieter@wingrunner.com. I look forward to seeing the rest of them.

September 11th, 2005 - New Recruits:

    Welcome to the newest members of the Winged Warriors, Tinman13 and Dameon x. Both players have passed the two-stage tryouts and will be active, valuable assets to the clan. Each has of them proven to us that they are quick learners with a focuse on improvement, and good players with potentially great teamwork; Welcome to the Winged Warriors.

September 11th, 2005 - New match scheduled:

    New match scheduled against WAYOFTHEFUTURE on Sunday, September 18th at 9:00pm central time. Read more.

August 28th, 2005 - Website news: Player profiles are next:

    All of the main pages have been completed and uploaded to the server. The only thing left is to add the player profiles. Winged Warriors need to contact Night Rider 7 for details and be at practice for the next CSoC meeting. Profiles will include basic information, Halo 2 statistics, a short autobiography, and a photograph. All information is optional except for Danny's suit quote [clan joke]. Again, the website is mostly finished; hope you enjoy this as much as I do.

August 24th, 2005 - New Practice Schedule:

    Scheduled practices have changed, instead of Thursday nights at 7:00pm central time, we have moved to 7:00pm central on Sundays and and 9:00pm on Wendsdays. If you have any questions just shoot a message to Night Rider 7, or check the practice schedule for more details.

August 24th, 2005 - Website live, but still underconstruction:

    Good news! If you're reading this then by now you should know that the official Winged Warriors website is online and ready for action. Night Rider, your favorite Overlord is still working on the rest of the pages, as this one is still the only one active. You can expect the majority of the content to be online sometime next week. For those of you who might be wondering how we got the domain name, 'www.wingrunner.net', it is one that I registered when I bought my first domain 'www.wingrunner.com' for my personal, online, graphic and web design portfolio. I could tell you what its all about but I'm going to suggest you see for yourself.
