What is 5punk?

5punk is a friendly community of gamers based on the ethic of playing for fun hence the title

"5punk - the gaming equivalent of a kickaround in the park"


Quote Woo Elephant yeah, the site owner:

"Well one day I decided it would be a good idea to get like minded 'b3tans' (b3ta.com) to all play online games together. Since then there's been no looking back, and 5punk has now turned into an active online gaming community for all ages and types of people. You do not have to be a member of b3ta to join 5punk, as it's an open gaming community, it's just that b3ta is historically a root for people to come here."

Basically we play for fun, get on well with like minded gamers and have good laugh in the process.

We also run our own gameserver, as this allows us to switch games we host easily depending on what's popular.


Why 5punk?

This is at least partly related to the being an offspring of b3ta.com

The use of a number in the place of a letter started with b3ta, but was taken up by 4rthur, 5punk, just as a nod to our roots.

Thread where the name was decided.


How do you pronounce 5punk?

Spunk - a slang term for male ejaculate. Not five-punk


Games we often play

The games we play change reasonably often, and we always try new games but tend to get bored of them pretty quickly if it's nothing special.

However BF2, CS:S, CoD:UO and Eve are our staple games with a strong, and in the case of Eve, militant following (No, really. Those EVE players are nuts).


When does 5punk play?

We play games most evenings, generally using a set schedule of games during the week and random games as and when they happen using Xfire.

More info about the games we play

Battlefield 2

Our BF2 addiction has been gaining power since release, often getting 8+ players for our scheduled games on thursdays.

We often play on the Lanarchy.co.uk Karkand & Sharqi Server (81.19.208.91:16567)

Call of Duty: United Offensive

AAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS CANNON

We use a lot of custom maps which can be downloaded Here

Counter Strike Source

omg! hax

EVE

Oh. dear.

UrbanDead

Inconspicuous browser based MMORPG set in the zombie apocalypse, easily played at lunch time at work. 5punkers tend to gravitate towards pubs, occasionally organising excursions such as the Malton Pub Crawl in order to bring sunshine to the lives (or undead, as the case may be) of human and zombie alike.


Atorian

Another inconspicuous browser based game. Set at some point in the future 5punkers in this game are purely self-defensive, but since there's always someone trying to take our planets we never stop fighting.

Stuff we run

This list is likely to change but

Teamspeak server

Shoutcast server

CS:S 217.112.95.67:27015

DoD:S 217.112.95.67:27017

Cod:UO 217.112.95.67:28960

5punk Slang/Terminology/Memes.

  • BEEF - Our name for Battlefield 2 (Battlefield 2 > BF2 > BF > BEEF)
  • CoD - Our name for the Call Of Duty series (usually referring to Call of Duty: Untied Offensive)
  • HamAndCheese - name for Hamachi
  • Floorware - Software you've found, often by careless people misplacing CDs.
  • Deject's mom - The mother of one of our members, often heard screaming in the background of teamspeak. "Werd to your mother!"
  • Ninja concerts - Cited as the reason for people avoiding arrangements.
  • /me bums - Staple greeting of the Eve players, taken from their gentle (sometimes) in-game sodomising.
  • CAEK! - Like cake, but better.
  • ZOMG! Pie! - Flaky Pastry with a nice filling
  • This Is Not A Code - It's not a code. Probably.
  • REWENGAY - Like revenge, but generally involves more teabagging.

Apps we use and how to use them.

Xfire

Xfire is an app that acts as an instant messenger with in game support and gives ability to easily join other 5punkers in game any time anywhere.

We also have a list of our xfire usernames and a small app to automatically add everyone

Xfire List

Auto-Adder

When signing up at the forum, make sure you add your Xfire username to your forum profile, as this is the core of 5punk, and without Xfire, we wouldn't even be here.

Teamspeak

Teamspeak is our voice comms medium of choice - given the ease of use, and reasonable licensing terms.

  • Server Address: 217.112.95.67:8767
  • Server Password: cranberry


Hamachi

Used to allow us to play older games over the Internet, also allows us to test experimental servers safely and securely.

Basic guide (placeholder until a 5punk-specific one is made)

If Hamachi is needed for a game, the network to join and password for the network will be posted in the scheduler.


Site Admins

Woo Elephant Yeah - Site Owner/Creator

Often referred to as Wey, or Woo (which can be confusing) 5punk is Wey's Baby, as, oddly enough, is Wey's baby. He is still amazed at how a simple idea has evolved into this rather active gaming community.


Stoat - Site Admin

Mustela erminea Our very own php jedi, Coded the Scheduler and the Discussion board. Stoat has been there since the birth of 5punk, and without him, we wouldn't have any of the things we have come to

Dr. Kitteny Berk - Game Server (bukkake) Owner

Quote from WEY: Abrupt, Rude and quite possibly Obnoxious, Berk speaks his mind and what you see is what you get. You know where you stand with Berk, and he's the first to admit that. However, without him, 5punk would never have lifted off the ground in the way that it has, and his continuous work, help, time & money has got Bukkake up and running, along with the Shoutcast radio shows as well. He's the unsung hero, but more a hero without the shiny long blonde hair and chiseled jaw, more of a dark shadowy figure lurking in the corner fixing servers and swearing repeatedly at things whilst snarling. So to sum up *thinks about words carefully again*, even though Berk can be a bit of a sarcastic foul mouthed bastard, we love him in our very own special way.

Dog Pants - Site Moderator

After watching his posts for some time, WEY decided to ask Dog Pants to join the 5punk admin team. Dog Pants has done a wonderful job moderating 5punk's forum, and has helped influence a lot of the recent decisions/suggestions for 5punk. He can usually be found stumbling around groaning in Urban Dead, or watching Zombie flicks at home.


Others

Team RO-BO

Roman Totale and MrBobbins' team from a CS:S Tournament we held.

Probably won, but as survivors are yet to be found we cannot be sure of this.

Widely believed to be the founding partners of the following website: http://www.deagostini.co.uk/ilovehorses/

Gunslinger

Created by RO-BO using old toaster parts, flips out if he sees a bagel.

So horribly, horribly good at all games.

0.001% of his neural processing runs all NASA orbital navigation and communication systems and he is a technical consultant on Richard and Judy

Hehulk

Massive EVE adict. xfire isn't acurate and to date has missed 300 hours of actual play time due to router issues with ports. Was promoted to moderator on the eve forum just because of the sheer number of hours he plays it.

Also plays BEEF and CSS. Tends to cry hax alot when losing
