Here's a list of people waiting for a game to start:

If you were to close your eyes and attack your keyboard with a hammer, you couldn't come up with a bigger mess of text than what's in the screenshot above. Apparently, there's a direct relationship between how cool you are and how many obscure symbols you can shove in your name.

If you're wondering why many of the 'tards in the above picture have an "X" after their name, it's because they're part of the elite X-team. The X team only lets the best of the best into their clan, like this guy:

<-= B'lah -X- =-> i got aime
<-= B'lah -X- =-> by mad niggas
<-= B'lah -X- =-> sorry
<-= B'lah -X- =-> goine
<-= B'lah -X- =-> liquid!!!!!!!!!!!!
<-= B'lah -X- =-> u better recognize
<-= B'lah -X- =-> hmm'
<-= B'lah -X- =-> i just got back
<-= B'lah -X- =-> and got distracted
<-= B'lah -X- =-> lol
<-= B'lah -X- =-> IM X
<-= B'lah -X- =-> NO MATTER WHAT
<-= B'lah -X- =-> HERE LET ME TELL U ALL YOUNG FOLKS
<-= B'lah -X- =-> im the TRUE ESSENCE of x
<-= B'lah -X- =-> yes
<-= B'lah -X- =-> ur the hot shit liquid
<-= B'lah -X- =-> blah blah blah
<-= B'lah -X- =-> so bitch
<-= B'lah -X- =-> join me then
<-= B'lah -X- =-> and stop that momma dukes shit
<-= B'lah -X- =-> son
<-= B'lah -X- =-> blah

That's the 'true essense of x' in a nutshell - an unbalanced psycho who talks to himself. To see if you qualify for the X team, look at this simple checklist:

1. You must have opposable thumbs, preferably two.

2. If you're not playing a game with someone, you must sit in the chatroom and spam "mvc 970304 (4 players for kalliera)" over and over forever until someone plays you.

3. Under no circumstances shall you use any form of punctuation or capital letters when you're talking.

4. If you lose a game for any reason, you must blame it on 'lag'. Regular use of statements like "fuckin lag" is encouraged.

If you meet these requirements - congratulations, you can join the X team! Meet all 300+ members at their kick-ass homepage.

* Bob's bubba left the partyline (uh......).

I've got to wonder: What in the fuck is Bob's bubba? I don't know who Bob is, and I certainly have no idea what his "bubba" is all about. Furthermore, I'm sure I don't want to know. Bob doesn't clarify anything with his brilliant exit quote: "uh...".
