There are only 3 conditions we have as a club, conditions which benefit us all.
1) We require you to be in our mumble client during games, mumble is a voip client, like teamspeak and ventrilo. You can download it here http://mumble.sourceforge.net/. You do not need to speak, but we find most people do after a while, but it is important we can tell you information, so we dont enter games without everyone in them.
2) Be respectful, this means towards other people, both in act and in action. Dont be nasty, if someone is playing badly dont make them feel bad. There is another corollary to this and that is that this is a team game, and while we respect each individuals right to play how they want always remember there are others in the game trying to enjoy it too.
3) Do not use cheats.
Pro Clubs is a mode in Fifa whereby teams play each other online, with one person controlling his or her own player, up to 11v11. In this mode teams of players can battle each other like an actual football match, winning points for a victory or draw and attempting to rise up the ranks towards division 1 and titles. There is progression, a number of ingame achievements that, on completion, will give your virtual pro stat boosts, allowing you to increase the range and effectiveness of your shooting, passing, defending, skill and others.
The mode emphasises team play, but also rewards individual skill, its a mode where you feel the rush of scoring in the 90th minute, of preventing a certain goal, of making that killer pass and scoring that decisive penalty, all of the raw emotions you get from playing football are here, and you share them with everyone else in the game. Truly there is no mode like this, we hope you give it a shot.
Some 24 months ago all was not right in the world, I was evicted from my 2 bedroom house and left stranded on the streets of London, I couldn't pay my bills and I had resorted to alcoholism and, I am sorry to say, began abusing pain medication. These were very dark times for me, days consisted of busking using the only thing I had in the world, a guitar, a lack of pitch and tuning meant that I didn't get very far and was losing hope. I would spend what little money I was able to maintain on trying to reconnect with people at a local LAN cafe, I wrote an open letter onto a gentleman's forum asking for advice, and someone responded. He went by the handle of PrematureQuiche, Quiche, who lived in London, was confined to a wheelchair and spent his days asking the government for money, though he later admitted to me that he could walk. I knew I could learn from a man with no morals and thus began our friendship, Quiche taught me how to game the system, he would come join me at the LAN cafe and play Fifa, co-op, and we won many games. We drew attention and became very well known for being the only players who used Real Madrid to win games, because of a lack of pace and attacking prowess, no-one ever used Real Madrid in Fifa, but we knew something that they didn't, that they were fucking broken.
People would come and offer us cash games, pickup matches, post challenges and then one day rumour spread of a man from the North who was “unbeatable” who had journeyed south to claim that which was his. For all of our victories me and Quiche had never won a game by more than 1 goal and I had never scored any of them. So it was on a snowy Tuesday in August, Hixx arrived. After a good 40 minutes of telling us how disgusted he was to be south of the Tyne, how the air was infecting his lungs and about, you get the picture, he challenged us to a 2v1. He won. We knew our co-op dream was coming to an end, luckily Hixx had no money, having wasted all of it on train fare and harrasing random southerners.
We decided to recruit Hixx, but 3 is too much for co-op, what could we do? We devised a plan to write EA and ask them to include a mode where more people could play, in the meantime we began recruiting. Hixx told us of a website he went on where a Danish man would post strange, uncomfortable and occasionally hilarious pornography. We were in. After a short email back and forth the man, known by his handle Woodenlung, advised us that we were not hardcore enough for him, that our penises were too short and that we could not handle his depravity, he proved this by sending us pictures of him dressed in a green body suit, trying to swallow a cucumber, while talking to an 80 year old woman with thrush. I asked him what he could possibly want that we have? And his answer was simple, Quiche. We shipped him off to Denmark for a weekend and never heard what happened after, only that Wooden is now friends with his entire family on Facebook and talks to his father regularly.
Quiche, clearly drained on his return told us of an American who had been yearning to learn more about football, whilst never actually wanting to watch the sport. He was a teacher of children, but in his own words “Had no fucking idea what he was doing”. We skyped him, but could rarely ever talk to him without his family interupting, he had many agents, none of which seemed to understand football and all of which had an opinion about it. He was Broken, in more ways than one, but in spite of this he was also the happiest of us all, he would train in the early morning, in the late afternoon and play anywhere just at a vague attempt to understand the offside rule. He quickly became everyone's favourite player and scorer of great goals.
Quiche told us that the key to success, the key to team unity was clear from Brokens example, we needed players whose connection to European servers would be impeded, ever so slightly by internet lag. We went on a manhunt across Asia, through Japan and Korea, back through China until we came across the beacon of internet freedom and network capability that was, Australia. We found there a man whose iron will and determination trumped us all, a man who, though studying, had the will to play with us, contributing all the way, whose AI, he assured us, was a set piece machine. This man was Qindarka.
The team was taking shape, but while we were amassing a team of forwards and wingers we had no backbone, we needed defensive players with an aye for creativity. Woodens multiple personalities allowed us to rotate him from time to time but there was a hole to be filled, we found what all good people find in a crisis, Bacon. Bacon came to us from the lands of technical proficiency and determination, the Netherlands, quiet in nature but strong and reliable. His penchant for scoring unbelievable goals was matched only by his hatred for the AI, a deep hatred that would lead many of us to think Fifa employees were on his no-no list.
We had the makings of a team, in order to practice sufficiently we would do drop in matches, it is here I came across a player with raw natural talent, almost too good for the game he was playing but with a slight weakness, something which could not easily be ironed out, this man was a troll. Now all of us have found ourselves on the internet stoking the fires, prodding people to the point of hilarity, but this was a troll of a different kind, he would score 2 and then try to make sure the other team scored 2 aswell, he would use this power to make sure when he had the deciding moment in a game he would fluff it because, and I quote “Thats what men do”. We knew we had to get him and we did, inspite of his affiliations to teams who dont allow, nor tolerate, any skin colour other than white. In 2 years no-one has ever heard him speak, but his actions speak louder than words, for some reason we haven't banned him.
Last but not least we needed power, especially myself because I have like 3x the number of posts in the thread and it could be easily classed as self aggrandising and I dont want to be banned. When we first recruited Wes he was but a lowly mortal like all of us, after a while though he ascended, to striker, these were admittedly dark times but on the wing and in defensive positions he was a rock, his laugh remains the most hilarious and wonderful thing this club has produced and has, of yet,never said that he doesnt live in a van. Inspite of his position he has, for the good of the club, never told us to use Aston Villa kits and this alone makes him great.
These are our regulars and core members of the team
(also at some point we picked up Kyoufu)
