Old Clan-Willing Thread

[Baker]

I would add there seems to be enough interested players, both from this thread and elsewhere, to stock 5 or 6 clans.

Seems like the questions are this:

1. Clan-leaders are needed ... ppl with initiative that do things. SNS actually, heh, has 3 clan-leader types in it. Otherwise there is no one to assemble the clans.

2. And someone might be upset with me for wondering aloud about this, but I'm just going to say ...

Some members of TU act as if the clan is just a "for fun" association and others are of the mind (QuadRaptor,Monster?) that it is a real clan.

Someone needs to say if TU should be considered a clan that someone can challenge or spar against and maybe if not ... and I know I'm treading into uncomfortable terrority, but these are real questions ... should some of the more actionable players form their own clan?

What does it take to be a clan leader? This is what I'd say the answer is:

1. Take initiative
2. Be unafraid to make mistakes
3. Know that you will have the support of QuakeOne and people like Mindz and Phenom that are members of other clans
4. That you play
5. Pick a name for the clan
6. Pick some basic rules (like never disrespect/criticize other clan members in public, etc.)

Other than that, there isn't really much else. Everything else falls into place.

Should Clan of Rum be considered an active clan? I've run into at least 4 of them recently. One is godlike, one is elite.

[Phenom]

SNS might be getting another member here soon

And Mindz and myself are the only leader of SNS, me being the captain and Mindz being the lutenit

[Monster]

Only Nygma's left are Weed, Dank and myself, unless Cherrie would like to stick her tag back on and I very seriously doubt I could get Gohan to play again. He is busy....any other past Nygmas out there that would want to join again?

YES!! GET GOHAN TO PLAY AGAIN!! Even though he is probably rusty, he will bounce back in no time, and I will be able to test my powers against his. And so will Tical.

[danknugz]

Steph and I both played Gohan about 2 months ago and he isn't rusty......neither of us could touch him......sorry Monster but he would own you......I'm not being mean only honest....he has owned us all and would own those he hasn't yet!!!!! GOHAN THE LEGENDARY QUAKER!!!!!

4. That you play

I do play, but Im not exactly good, and by not exactly good, since Ive resumed playing Ive lost every match Ive played! (This is quite different than my memories of 96 to 2000 where I think I lost... 20 games out of... I cant even fathom the number of games I played during that time).

[danknugz]

Steph and I have put on our clan names once again.....Nygma Steph and Nygma Dank are back in tha house....I saw Weed wearing his name yesterday as well.....so I guess we are gonna try to respawn Nygma.....I know that's only three so far but I'm sure we can find a few other great players to fill in old slots that aren't being used.....haven't gotten any response from Cherrie but she is welcome always to live and die Nygma......NYGMA FOR LIFE FOOLS!!!!!

[Baker]

since Ive resumed playing Ive lost every match Ive played

It comes back. I wouldn't be concerned about the losing thing. I lose almost all the non-FFA games I play, heh, because I'm always playing someone like Yellow No. 5, Tical, Hydro or one of the many other nearly invincible players.

You might find this interesting (from the Guide section):

http://www.quakeone.com/index.php?in...&op=show&id=10

... if you hadn't noticed it there already.

[Monster]

Yes. NEARLY invincible. Soon the monster shall defeat Yellow in RA.

[Baker]

I noticed that Corpse Slayer is very strong player.

[scar3crow]

Baker; Looked through that, I already knew all of it, except I dont use iplog, I am not familiar with the term "pinging up", dont use quick grenade binds, and never did get the hang of bunnyhopping.

BTW, all the links to content within Quakeone.com in that page are 404s.

[Canadian*Sniper]

Quick grenade binds are bunk, use my Dual Weapons!

[Baker]

All the guides need link clean-up, I might do that tomorrow.

The guides were written about a year ago and we went thru 6 CMS systems, each with their own formatting. The guides were converted over, but the links are not correct for the new CMS.

We're still under construction although we are getting closer

[Lerster]

Free agent....

I haven't been in a clan since back in 98 which was a local "joke" clan more or less [NSN] north side nerds... and one remake of [TK] um, that was 3wave and i forget what that even stands for...

But, if it will get some games rolling i'll joinup with anyone who'll take me.

[Lord_Ic3s]

I am willing to start up my old clan DBE - Dead Bodies Everywhere. I see there are some willing participants. I have 7 years of quake experience and plenty of mod experience. If anyone is willing, just contact me here.

[Mindf!3ldzX]

That's KICKASS Ic3s , I'm extatic about this.I've known Ic3s a longtime,hard-core Quake1 player,really dedicated.

I'll point some attention your direction, I'll be in touch via MSN later on
