| − | ====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.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | [http://www.b3ta.com/talk/64446 Thread where the name was decided.]
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ====How do you pronounce 5punk?====
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Spunk - a slang term for male ejaculate.
| + | |
| − | Not five-punk
| + | |

| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | 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 [[Battlefield 2|BF2]], [[Counterstrike| CS:S]], [[Call of Duty|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? ====

| − | ====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 pooled our funds and rented our own ranked BF2 server, which could be found [http://www.game-monitor.com/GameServer/81.19.208.85:16567/5punk.co.uk_-_Get_some_on_you.html Here] but can't now, so there.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ===== [[Battlefield 2142]] =====
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Though not widely accepted by the 5punk community it has a fairly dedicated following of a few regular players.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ===== [[Call of Duty|Call of Duty: United Offensive]] =====
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | AAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS CANNON
| + | |
| − | (And you can shoot stuff.)
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | We use a lot of custom maps which can be downloaded [http://files.hairy-arse.com/CallofDuty/Maps.rar Here]
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ===== [[CoH/CoV| City of Heores / City of Villains]] =====
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | A nonspecific Superhero comic based MMO that is slowly gaining popularity on 5punk. Not particularly deep, but combined with Teamspeak is often highly amusing.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | CoH and CoV are two seperate games with a slight overlap - bought seperately but one subscription fee for both, playing as either a hero or a villain. The two overlap in certain PvP areas, and owning both offers certain advantages for players on either side.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ===== [[Counterstrike| Counter Strike: Source]] =====
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | omg! hax
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ===== [[EVE]] =====
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | One of the most absorbing and involved MMOs around, EVE differs greatly from others in that grind does not increase your skillpoints as training is based purely on time. Grind will earn you isk (in-game currency) and allow you to buy new skills to fly new ships, fit new LASERS!
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | In-depth details on the game can be found here in [http://www.5punk.co.uk/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=2305 Wiggy's EVE review]
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | The 5punk community in EVE is based around the fantastic 5punkorp (think Guild), based on the ideals of bumming, more bumming, freedom and the spirit of fun! (But mostly bumming. - Wig)
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | They also have a ship set-ups page [[http://www.5punk.co.uk/wiki/index.php?title=Ship_fitting_Frontpage Here]]
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ===== [[OFP| Operation Flashpoint & Armed Assault]] =====
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | OFP is one of the older but still one of the best modern era FPS's out there. OPF focuses more on low level tactics than MMO's like BEEF and requires thought, teamwork and combined arms cooperation to achieve mission success. It is set apart from the competition by a large and active community who continue to produce new vehicles, weapons, maps and mods 5 years after it was first released. The recently released sequel, Armed Assault, is very similar in intent but fixed alot of the grievances that were present in the original. It promises to continue the success of the series and retain popularity in the modding community.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | There's a 5punky mod database which will list any mods that we have on our server and in the missions that we create. Mod database can be found [[http://www.5punk.co.uk/wiki/index.php?title=ArmaMods Here]]
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ===== [[SWAT 4| SWAT 4 - The Stetchkov Syndicate]] =====
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Oldish Tactical first person shooter, slow paced, challenging to play well, but still fun.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ===== [http://www.urbandead.com 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 undeaths, as the case may be) of human and zombie alike.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ===== [http://www.shartak.com Shartak] =====
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | A Browser based MMPORG set on a desert island, Featuring Outsiders, Pirates and natives.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Quite similar to Urban dead, likely because the maker was inspired by urbandead.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ===== [http://www.atorian.com 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.

| − | ===5punk Archives===
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | As well as discussion that directly relates to our games, 5punkers also deposit a lot of information within the pages and threads. To aid in finding the information held in these often rambling threads they are archived below.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ====Geekfood====
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Threads about food have proved very popular on 5punk, and many recipies have been posted in various threads. A full catalogue of these recipies can be found [[Cookbook:Recipes|here]].
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ====Reviews====
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | 5punk has a wealth of gamers of all levels and experience. This makes for an excellent testing ground for most games, and as such we have a reviews forum so that we can share our experiences. Many 5punkers have admitted to trusting the reviews of their fellow gamers to those of magazines. An index of our reviews can be found [[Reviews|here]].
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ===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.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | '''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.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | '''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.
| + | |
| − | | + | |

| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Massive [http://www.eve-online.com/ EVE] addict. Claims that [[Main Page#xfire|xfire]] is inaccurate and that this means he has has missed three hundred 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.

| − | '''Pnut'''

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