Southern Style

Pink:

'''''Southern Style''''' is a now inactive clan, this Wiki remains as a piece of history for others to read and enjoy.

== Part I - The White Tiger Days ==

=== The Beginning ===

After numerous attempts to revive the (now defunct) [[Dragon Team]], [[The White Tiger]] (at this period of time known as c3m3t3ry[]h4unt3r and Viglante_8) realised that the downward Spiral of the once great [[Dragon Team]] was out of his hands. He then began to search for a new clan to be a part of until the day that a player called [[--BackStabb--]] joked about the idea of creating Southern Style. White Tiger however, took the idea seriously and began to create this clan with [[--BackStabb--]] (who would later disown it). Armed with some high caliber starting members ([[Quetzalcoatl]], [[Kidd]], [[Dark Touch]] and [[ShyGuy]] (known as b33r^^ at this point)), White Tiger got sS running with a horrible freewebs "Shitemaker" website and relatively active forums.

=== Instability ===

The first few months were pretty out of control, certain people (namely Shaolin Monk and Black Rose) left sS, came back, left and came back. It was a proper mess. Albeit, ignoring the few hiccups that were made in the recruiting process, some good members were recruited who were loyal and really tried to help the clan in every way possible. 3 members played infinitely important roles to the success that sS were soon to have.

=== Growth and Peak ===

These were [[Pink]], [[Urban Chaos]] and [[HazeSamurai]]. These 3 managed to turn a 200 post graveyard into a 800 a week post forum that buzzed with activity. Pink personally kept white tiger on track whenever he went a bit overboard and brought new levels of organisation and stability to the clan. Urban Chaos added to the clan's reputation with his sheer skill at the game and Haze managed to spice up the website and forum for the better. The memberlist greatly increased and, without being sidetracked by certain instances of having to kick members for posting child porn or for being "scripting geniuses", sS began to fly high in the clan world among with ("friendly" rivals) [[AsGard]] and [[The Dark Masters]]. Urban and Pink took it as their duty to train up Recruits till they were good enough to merit the treasured sS tag. All was good.

=== Decline ===

One day, Carnificin (how he ended up back in the clan remains a mystery to many) caused a lot of trouble inside and outside the clan and, without asking for the approval of either Pink or White Tiger, Haze kicked him out. This was the second instance of Haze abusing his Admin power (all be it in both cases it was probably for the greater good) and Pink and White Tiger thought it would be best to remove his Admin powers. This caused Haze to leave sS and was soon followed by his brother Urban. The clan then split in 2. Members such as Kidd, Orange Warrior and Blue Warrior left along with Urban and Haze to revive [[Royal Widows]] with [[Black Widow]] and [[Black Prince]]. The more loyal of the members such as HornedReaper and Black Wolf stayed with Pink and White Tiger. sS was never quite the same again. It continued to grow and was still a force to be reckoned with until one day, without word of warning, Pink decided to leave populous for a long time. After losing his co-leader, White Tiger took it upon hiself to run sS again until it spiraled so far out of control that only He, HornedReaper and [[Khickman]] were left. At which point White Tiger left and sS was finished...

==Part II - The New sS==

===Pink's return===

After a 3 month break, Pink returned to the lobby to find that sS was pretty much dead. There were no forums, no leader and 2 active tagged members. Pink took the tag off thinking sS was finally dead but put it back on as his name "looked bare" without it. He toyed with the idea of reviving sS and even asked a couple of ex members what they would say to it. Eventually he was ready to completely discard the idea when a certain Black Wolf private messaged Pink in the populous reincarnated matchmaker and asked about reviving sS. Then it began.

Camping

2006-08-02T17:47:02Z

Pink:

[[Camping]] is phrase said in [[Populous]]. It means that you are not attacking, only defending. This could mean that your [[Shaman]] is in a [[Guard Tower]] most of the time and defending non-stop. It can also mean that you attack with a spell then walk off again.

There is nothing wrong with [[Camping]] except that your enemy hates it. This can lead to [[backdoor]]s and forcing them another way into the base. Soon they will break in, so remember not to get in the [[Camping]] position it's not pretty.

Often Confused with hanging back to recover after a vicious attack. Attacking without defense is way too risky and time often needs to be set aside to recover defenses and retrain lost men. The trick is knowing how to recover quickly so you do not waste far too much time in defense. If too long is spent camping, the enemy will no-doubt win.

Tribes

2006-08-02T13:41:25Z

Pink:

There are four tribes in [[Populous]]: The Beginning; all of them are identical in ability. Each tribe is distinguishable by diffrent color, by a diffrent [[shaman]] graphic, and by diffrent building appearences.

==Ikani==
The Ikani tribe is the unofficial name for the Blue tribe; some players have speculated that this was the name that the developers were thinking of naming this tribe, though it seems the developers will even say that the Blue tribe is nameless. In terms of coding, the Blue tribe is called the Player tribe. In [[Single Player]], this is the tribe that the player takes control of to aid the Blue Shaman on her quest, to destroy her enemies and become a god.

==Dakini==

The Dakini commonly have the strongest ai script in [[Single Player]]. They have also never been in a three player level with the Matak.

==Chumara==

The Chumara tribe is popular for being on islands by themselves in [[Single Player]]. They are known for their use of preachers as well as some uncommon (by online standards) tactics to achieve vitory.

==Matak==
As far as [[Single Player]] is concerned, the Matak are probably the weakest of the four tribes in your adventure.

Solo

2006-08-02T13:30:55Z

Pink:

{{Infobox Levels
|Level = Solo
|Image = solo.jpg
|Mode = [[Singleplayer]]
|Players = 4
|Heads = 3
|VOK = 0
|Ally = N/A
|Difficulty = Intermediate
}}

You may thing Solo is hard but it dosn't take musch to do. First you worship the [[obelisk]] that is on your island, this will give you full chargements of your spells. You can eaisly kill the [[Dakini]] off and steel their [[boat]]. If you use [[Hypnotise]] try and use it towards the end of finishing them off so you get some followers to your side forever.

Next sail to the [[Chumara]] and hop into the [[balloon by the hill. Next use minor spells again to face off the tribe. ('''Watch out for the [[Firewarrior]]s'''). When you finish the tribe off goto the nearest [[obelisk]] and claim some [[mana]] to boost some of your spells.

Now fly your way towards the [[Matak]] and fight them off. After you have killed half of them you can have a [[mana]] boost by worshipping the [[obelisk]] that is on the [[Matak]]'s island. Now finish the rest of them off, keep killing their [[shaman]] to increase your mana further.

Pressure Point

2006-08-01T01:19:57Z

Pink:

{{Infobox Levels
|Level = Pressure Point
|Image = PP_1.jpg
|Mode = [[Multiplayer]]
|Players = 4
|Heads = 1
|VOK = 0
|Ally = N/A
|Difficulty = Hard
}}

[[Image:PP_2.jpg|left|thumb|280px|Start of Level]]
Pressure Point is identicle to the [[Single Player]] level, [[Middle Ground]]. However 90% of the players do not worship the [[Stone Head]] which grants you [[Armageddon]], the level mostly only includes attacking, defending and constucting.

This is a level which goes in depth on defending with [[tower]]s. You each start with a good shaped, bunky base. [[Earthquake]]s will shape the land heavily but it will take many [[earthquake]]s to sink it down to water.

==Defending==

==Attacking==

==Adapting==

Urban and Pink took it as their duty to train up Recruits till they were good enough to merit the treasured sS tag. All was good.

At which point White Tiger left and sS was finished.

=== The Future? ===

Although Pink has returned to populous after a 3 month break, he is unsure of how long he will continue to play for. Pink mainly retreats to being a forum junkie now. Still wears the sS tag because "the name looks cooler with it."

The White Tiger recently applied to AsGard and was rejected because they "weren't 100% sure he'd stopped being a knobhead." He shows no interest in an sS revival which is probably for the best.

HornedReaper (FrozenEsper) still wears an sS tag and is still in shock over how White Tiger jumped ship and left him.

Everyone else has moved on from sS either to remain clanless, join another clan or stop playing pop. The majority of the clan hoppers who ditched sS along with Urban And Haze are no longer in RW, can we be surprised?
