Many of you may already know me from in game or talked to me on rare occasion. Perhaps working with me or against me in game, thanking me for my teamwork or flaming me for my mistakes. Either way, I have an idea that without the interest of several other experienced players will hardly work. Multiple people involved in the implementation of this concept would greatly help it's success and endeavors in general. The idea I would like to propose is establishing a new clan (name not yet established) that has a specific purpose. Those experienced players that may also be interested will be considered Co-Founders of the clan and of course at the top of the officer levels. The purposes of newly established clan are as listed below: Provide a clan for new players to join and be introduced to the Empires gaming community Encourage a boost of membership to the Empires community in general So new players of Empires will be able to play perhaps not exceptionally, but at least knowing what they are doing. Instruct efficient methods of how to work together as a team Instruct members when and how to use classes appropriately Instruct members how to properly command and show common research paths Instruct members how to react given certain critical situations in game Promoting recruitment into other clans after reaching a certain status Keeping a strong attitude of good sportsmanship These objectives paint a general picture of what I would like to achieve. I myself, have played many games tired of players not really understanding what is going on in the game and would like to, with other players that have the patience and commitment, attempt to instruct new players in how to play Empires so that they are beneficial and even a key factor to their team, while still enjoying playing the game at the same time. Another aim in establishing this sort of clan is in hope to prevent some griefing, where team members think something they do is helping, but is actually detrimental to the team and its performance. My core concerns for establishing such as clan are solely this: Lack of support from other clans Difficulty in the recruiting effort A lack of interest from the Empires community in general This particular attempts to appeal to the existing clans that house many exceptional players. My attempt here is to give you more members in your clans, therefore increasing membership, community, and scrims and so forth. I have high sights for this idea since Empires is still very much a growing community. It's the largest I have every seen it, and probably has more people playing that in HL1 and any of its mods (except maybe Sven Co-op). I would wish the clan's organization to be conducted in the following way: Leading officers are non-biased non-clan members and experienced players Ranking systems work according to ranking in Empires New recruits enter under Private status Promotions are based on amount of time playing the game and performance in game Clans can establish at what rank they would like to look for members These ideas are all very tentative and are definitely subject to change. I would be happy to work with several people on this, and hope that there is enough interest. I would now like to hear your thoughts on this whether you think it's an excellent idea or if you just wish to start your flame engines, either way I'm all ears. Thanks for reading.
I think that you could change point 1 if you change point 2 to "Leading officers are non-biased clan members and experienced players". Since every clan is looking for different types of players I believe we could make it work. P.S. HSM and Sodaen should lead this training clan :D :p
I thought this was going to be about eating babies, no babies, no sell. Add some baby-eating and I might think again.
Hes VAC1 banned, like CS 1.6 and stuff, hes not banned from VAC2. He comes on sometimes but he had a lot of RL work so he can´t play often, I might get him to return for 2.2 at some point.
last time I heard, sodaen had his soul eaten by world of warcraft, so we probably won't see him for while. Oh and good suggestion. My support, it has.
