Roughage RidersFrom EncyClanPedia
About UsWe are a group of international friends with similar interests in the Desert Combat and Battlefield 2 online gaming communities. As newer games come out, we are expending into those as well. Most of us are older people, but we do have a few younger ones. We usually meet up on Teamspeak for regular online skirmishes with other clans. Our clan believes in fair and honest online gaming.
Our StoryTHE ROUGHAGE RIDERS STORY by Pickle of Death A group of four friends would regularly get together on a private teamspeak server, join one of several game servers, and play collaboratively. Not so unusual. What was unusual is the humor that developed over the weeks and months that we played. One night, there was a rather twisted conversation that culminated in a threat to stab ones teammate in the eye with a pickle. Why not? Can you imagine a worse death? The following day, that player changed his nick name to Pickle of Death. The name was goofy, and people began to comment about how crappy it was to be killed by some guy named Pickle of Death. After a few days of game play, and more comments, other players decided to inflict further psychological damage on the enemy and the migration to vegetable names began. I don't remember which came when, but the 3 other friends soon became Avocado of Vengeance, Asparagus of Terror, and Cumquat of Pain. From that day forward, it was not uncommon to hear cries on the enemy teamspeak such as "Get those damn vegetables at South!" as we held the El Alamein south base. The seed of the vegetable army was planted. After a while, some of us started to join the public teamspeak server on our favorite El Alamein server where we met people, interacted in our usual goofy way, and well I guess it was infectious. Pretty soon people we were playing and joking with began to convert to veggie names; and within a few months it wasn't unusual to look at the Blue Team roster and find 30-50% veggies, and the fun just continued to grow. On this particular server, the contrast of the Teamspeak environment on one team versus the other was glaring. On one side, you had a good time with the veggies. On the other there was a profanity-filled high-stress egomaniac environment where you were told how stupid, slow, ignorant, or unskilled you were. A natural migration was inevitable; and the server began having serious problems with team balance which further infuriated our host. As with anything, change is inevitable. The veggie army became threatening enough to our host that some of the more serious players would curse at us, threaten us, delete our forum posts, ban us from the server, unbalance map equipment, and what have you. Our favorite server had become an unpleasant place of persecution. One evening, a few of the regulars including Pepper of Pestilence were witnessing this annoying treatment and Pepper decided it was time to take action. He did the research, dropped the coin; and www.RoughageRiders.com was born. We are now over 40 clan members strong, and strive to keep a FUN, light hearted, fair game environment for all. With the Roughage Riders, Fun is #1.
