*DAMN R6 Forum

Hi all! 8) ?

I been around this GR community for about a year and I'm getting to know the whole RS community (one way or another ;) ) and wanted to get to know why some of you joined a clan? ?

Me personally, when I first saw RS it made sense that you would play better if you played with people you knew and could interact with. ?So when I saw that that was already being done in form of "clans" and "clans" were battling each other in "clan battles", that just sparked my competitive side right away and I soonly wanted to get to know some players and have team. ?I was playing demo and apparently some of the other players around were thinking the same thing. ?And since other clans didn't want to take "newbies" into their clans, we got together and decided to represent as one. ?Typhy, being a very active RSD player at the time like myself, thought of AK and I saw a spark to it. ?I decided to backup the name and do my very best to help build our look, name and reputation. ?We soon had a big team and it was then I decided we needed a logo and did our first logo. ?From there we had a forum and we all shared thoughts and decided that we wanted categorys. ?So we came up with Assault, Sniper, and Assault/Sniper, along with the Leaders. ?That just made our clan a bit more organized with more ?meaning to us and even to others. ?Then we focused on doing what we originally had in mind, which was to learn to play with all members of our clan and carry out tactics we practice in training to the BattleField in CB's. ?A lot of these tactics worked and let us earn 3 wins out of 4 Ladders of the BL we entered (Thanks *DAMN ;) ). ?Now I found this to be the trully next level of Rogue Spear: The Game. ?As if after you beat the game, you gather teamates and play others ?online. ?I thought it was great! ?Now I keep at it and times I goto the battlefield and attempt to CB other clans and they get all dramatic about it, makes me wonder why they joined a clan, so ?I'm curious to learn why all of you decided to join a clan. ?Thanks. 8)

None of your damn business. ;)

I joined a clan so I could insantly bend people to my words...now kneel you subserviant wenches  ;D

DAMN YOU RAPID, this was supposed to be thread 5, not thread 4, you just screwed up my whole master plan to take over the forums.

Ok, any way, back on subject.
In short, i wanted to join a clan to be good.
Here was the logic; in order to become better you need to consistently play with people who are above your level of skill.  This holds true for all things, not just games.  The people who were in clans were by far better than I was back in my demo newb days, and I thought that if I could somehow join one of their clans, I would instantly become better (remember I?m a noob at this point, I haven?t grasped the concept of practice at this point in time)

Well, after going through a few demo clans, I got the full version of RS, and started playing that almost exclusively.  Now I found even more clans, but no body seemed to want little old me.  I still sucked too much to be a blip on anyone?s radar screen.  
About a month or two after I got the full version, I decided to start (TAF).
*Waits for the laughter to die down*
Well, as you all know, (TAF) sucked hardcore, but I learned 3 key things out of that experience: people management skills, how the different maps played out (i.e. where everyone usually goes), and most importantly, I practiced ALOT, and I got better as a RS player.

I was forced to leave (TAF) last may because I could no longer host games.  I then became a loner in the RS community.

But I missed something from when I played in (TAF): I missed the CBs, so I began looking for another clan, and I kept poking my head into all the clan recruiting games, hoping that someone would ask me to join.
No luck at all, but at least people knew who I was this time.  (Due to forum exposure)

Then I popped my head into a recruiting game for <FiRE>, while they didn?t say I was in by the time we finished playing, they did say come back tomorrow.  The same thing happened repeatedly for the next few days (4 days total, for those of you keeping score), and then they finally said that I was in.  As luck would have it, I had found a clan that wasn?t just about skill, but was also about being friends, camaraderie, and all that stuff (you?ve all heard it all before, why do I need to type it?), things that were severely lacking in any of the other clans I had been in ((TAF)came close).

So, if you are looking for an answer in that long rambling life story of mine, I?ll just put it out here plain and simple I joined a clan to become good, I came back to clans to be a friend

I started |AK| as somthing to do, Started way back on 9/11. I was sorta mezmorized, I decided to start somthing instead of just pacing around the house, I had already planed to start it, and had gotten some people interested, I belive that Rapid came on 9/12. His first Rank was like 12 or somthing. However, right away I could see that he was the man that AK needed. I quickely promoted him to the #2 rank. I've never joined a clan in my life, just started one.

LoL, not what I heard! ;)

You joined to get some friends and have someone to talk to! ?You ain't fooling nobody! ;D

p.s:  Beefy joined a clan cuz everyone else was.  He just didn't want to have to explain that to you all ;)

Rapid, why did you ask us a question when you already knew the answer?

About Beefy, I knew about him ;), others I'm interested in learning why they joined/started a clan. 8)

I joined a clan for respect. Before I joined a clan they all said I was a n00b. Now that the clan I joined is in 2nd less people say that and more people respect me. ;D

I joined so I could become a lead roll in the Soap Opera which is GR.

Now i just want to die in a boat crash while on vacation, and be casted off of the show.

    I'd had RS for nearly a year, but had never played it much. I finally picked it back up and really started to enjoy the multiplayer aspect (single-player RS bores me so much that I'd rather stick hedgehogs in my eyes). Naturally, I sucked. But RS was all I was playing, and in a couple of months, I was fairly good. I think it was about another month of practicing and polishing, and people were starting to recognize me, which is really the point, isn't it?

    I never wanted to be in a clan. I prefer playing a game to being compelled to practice the game. I'd been playing a lot with some of the guys from KoS, and really liked both playing with them and trash-talking with them. They liked it too, because while I was playing one night, four or five of them came into the game and arranged to be on the opposing team. After I killed most or all of them five or six times in a row, they asked me to join. I deliberated for a few days, then accepted because I wanted to participate in CBs. Unfortunately, I've been offline during every KoS CB since then. Blah.

Cool Story Loth! ;)

Well, your luck is about to change on the CB's since now you have a challenge in front of you by the name of |?K|. ?I asked you before, in a more heated manner, to CB, but I'll ask you again, in a more respectful matter: ?Would you like to CB us and if you do, will you like to have Rebel as your teamate since he has commented in the past about "owning" us?  It'll make a fun interesting battle and who knows, by the end we might become the best of friends! ;)?Thanks. 8)

    I accepted before, actually. I'd be fine with battling you, but since it's a personal thing just against Reb and I, it's not to be a clan battle. CBs are clans fighting, not individuals fighting. ::shrug:: Take it or leave it, as you wish.

I joined a clan to develope my strategy skills. In normal games everything is so fast paced and random. There is individual stratagey involved, but not a team stratagey. The Best part of RS clans is that ou get to evelope team strategeys. For instance I taught AgT some strats that I am not willing to reveal. Well one. I know a bunch of sniping spaces that would seem unorthodox to many of you. But playing in an organized fashion to a "master plan" adds a whole new level of competition and fun. But it sucks when people catch on to a strat.

I did not join a clan.  I co-founded an anti-clan.  I'd  like to think that makes me the bigger man, taking the high road.  But I doubt it.

(how's THAT for sparse brain?  eh? eh?  Long-winded my ass!)

Don't worry Cossak, for all you, the tactics are rush and die, at least they were against us, you've got nothing there to reveal ;)

i started |deadly assassins| and well as assassin could tell you it sucked....but it was fun ?;D ... then i joined CIA....bah! then rom cheated and i left then i made FBI!!! woot!!! then voodoo left so i left and joined ? KotA..then it died so i joined *D$ ?then it died so i joined *DAMN. hehehe ?;D i guess once you start with clans you can't stop unless your skillz suck... :D

right....wait....what??? If Typhy started AK, then why the hell is Rapid leader. Why would you step down from leader status Typhy?? That does not compute...



hey typhy, maybe you guys should stop givin me excuses every time i ask u guys to cb and then when im not on u go and challenge some of my lesser skilled players, that is shamefull bs if you ask me.


"We" started FBI ?;)

Just some friendly spam control from your local moderator. - assassin

Hey Voods, it's a joke! That's why the winkey face is there! Yes, I would love to get in another cb against you guys, please contact one of my memebers on GR, perhaps a 3v3? - Also, the reason why Rapid is the leader is because I steped down when I got Urban Ops, then other members got it, I returned, Rapid, Monk and I worked out a role for me where they would be the two leaders, and I would be the assult commander, Yes, a leader our ranks me, However, he understands that I am an inportant member, and when he decides somthing that I disagree with, if we talk it over, he will change it somtimes. I am fine with this, I am allowed to Recruit/scout, Command battles, be a member of Battles, and I have head Trainer of our assult team.

I think i mainly joined all the clans i was in to get to know people better on the R6/RS community

First a Loooooong as time ago Deamon(havent seen in a year lol) and I created the clan *KaSaP* and we  were rivals with GaB and the old *POD*

Than after that died I created RW which had some good players myselve my bro brewski and others

Than that died and KaSaP was alive again lol

(About this time Bander told me he would get me into *DAMN)

Than that died and RW was alive again

Than that died and I joined #BONE becasue my old bud Vapor wanted me in

Than Vapor left #BONE and gave #BONE to marrow and that fell apart right away lol marrow ;D

Than Mauti/Bander invited me into *DAMN which totaly Owns and i have been here sence

SK

*Wonders if Mauti and Bander knew about SK's disrespectful side towards other people and clans like mine*

Lol, I dunno, personaly, I try not to judge anyone by what they say or do on the forums, This is a place where people just post things, in real time chat, they are often a lot diffrent. KoS Rebel is a perfect example, I hate him in these foums, however, on AIM, I think he's a great guy, he will give me IPs etc. I'v never really talked to SK on real time chat, he might be much diffrent.

Well, a brief history of me on GameRanger: I started out with an account somwhere in the 200s, back a long time ago, my brother and I shared it, he played Bolo, I played Chess and Stretega. We then moved on to account 9551. We shared that for most of the time, switching between the names Deadlock ( me ) and Typhoon ( him ), he then got his own Dual 500mhz G4. He left the 9551 account to me, he then got a new account on his G4, but eventually gave up GameRanger for that evil operating system, aka OSX. I got a new machine soon after, as well as the cable, so I lost account 9551 and moved onto 61290, This is my commen Rogue Spear account, I started |?K| on 9/11, and you all know the story of |?K|, I also had another Rogue Spear account before that, however, it would get me killed if I told you the account ID, or the name, Let's just say, it met a sad and painful death. And also say, all you Vets knew it to well.

I woke up and some people were yelling at me. Then I was in AgT.

Hmmm, well I first joined a clan to be part of the bigger picture, <SAS> was my first clan. After that Cossak my nizzo left to become ?K, so I left with him and joined ?K as well. That was a fun clan with good teamwork and cool ppl. (You all may have different opinions, thats fine just keep them to yourself).

After that me and Cossack decided we should start our own clan, we then formed TASK, which actually did well, taking 2nd in BL after ?K. After TASK died (mainly because I let in too many loudmouth ppl, and some ppl had power trips) I created D$.

Now I left the clan I started to some idiot One, we were supposed to disban the clan, but once I left, he kept it...lmao....the unoriginal fool keeping my words, and my icon...that is why I hate you!!!

Now I am once again with my nizzo Cossack in ??gT?

went a little off topic but I basically joined to be part of a team. To bad not many ppl know what teamwork is out there.

Kilzo

Heh, these are all pretty classic stories ;) ?

Let's see if we get more people to share their thoughts in a indepth way as well... :)

A friend of mine was asked to join |NS| somewhere in September/october. At the same time Snipe started a clan (very short-lived) by the name of <NiteStrike> (bah). He asked me to join, since i'd played a good amount of games with him, and probably looked rather good. After about a week i had an oppertunity to join the clan i really wanted into, |NS|, so i did that (leaving a pretty sore Snipe behind, with a 2-man clan).
So now i was in a clan with the person i played best with, Dominator. When most of the leadership of |NS| went inactive, and we were practically the only ones ever online, we decided to start our own clan, the good old |OS| (at about that time Dominator changed his name to Godfather).
Well, as to why we started it.
1: We couldn't/didn't want to take over |NS|, though it would have been possible, with leadership as weak as it was.
2: It's just so much easier to be able to make you own decisions about clanbattles, clansites, etcetera ad nauseum.
A clan, IMHO, gives you the best oppertunity to work as a team, refine your skills, and make friends.
It's also something basic that seems to be in the mind of every person, to be part of something bigger, so as to be released of the feeling that you, alone, are insignificant.
Deny that last part as you wish, but i'm sure that a large percentage of you has, conciously or subconciously, felt that way, and allowed it to be part of the decision. In all honesty i must admit that i most likely have done so (subconciously).

Last of all, please forgive my sometimes horrible Grammar and/or choice of words, i've got a hangover, and my english desperately needs polishing.

MacMan - 10-4, out.

ok Kilzo I got the picture...I'm trying to make a new icon with photoshop right now...but *D$ I can't change maybe....

ok, back to the topic
My first clan was in R6, it was called <=??>=, and it was started by Zom@r. It had 4 members , me(W?Ve or ?Ne),Mr. Sparkle, Mr Jackal, ad Zom@r it was a sweet clan, but than an argument broke out over a tourney with me and Zomar and it disbanded...than came RS
I joined TASK than it died =(, than kilzo and me kind of started *D$ and than Kilzo left and I started to run the clan...sorry kilzo if this bothers you, I was thinking of making a new clan but its too much work for me now =|

i was in <Mi6> for a long ass time... then badboy decided to make a clan, *boom. the only good thing that came fromthat clan was me and pyrex meeting... after *boom disolved, mi6 disolved soon after. Leaving bigpat clanless, bigpat is one of my really close friends in real life, and we have a good sense of humor so we started a joke clan (unt, not really out of any reason except the tag looked cool... then we had to deside what cunt would stand for (crazy urban noob tkers). then bigpat lured pyrex into the clan with promises of candy. so we became a real clan.

Now i look back and think how great it is to be in a clan surrounded by great funny people. Having fun is why we join clans, and its great that cunt worked out

My First clan was *DA, Damn Agents.  For those of you who remember them (the real DA not the ones that became DAF) then your awesome, the rest are n00bish.  I joined it because i wanted to join DAMN.  DAMN played a lot at that time especially Rogue Spear.  Not to mention I had friends in Mauti, bander, and Postal Worker.  I turned out to like DA more however but it was torn apart by the leaders who wanted to be the leaders of DAMN or whatever.  I was thought to be part of this, no hard feelings.  Anyway if you want to talk Soap Opera Dest taht was probably the best one. I wanted to join DAMN because i wanted to have that respect and i wanted to CB.

Well, since I feel like I'm the "host" of this thread, I gotta say you all gave pretty honestly good reasons.  There's a lot more of you out there so let's start hearing your reasons on why you made the next step to join a clan. (http://www.fubarclan.org/fubar/forum/images/smiles/bandit.gif)

Yeah, that was a biggie *looks at faus and glad*

I admit that when I was a noob I joined clans because most of everyone else was in one.....Then I was offered a position in Mi6...at the time I had no idea what I was getting into to....after Mi6 temporarily disbanded Jeb and Pat offered me to help them start up ?(uNt?...at this point I was a more experienced player and joined ?(uNt? strictly becuase I liked jeb and pat and knew them from Mi6. They told me that ?(uNt? wasn't going to be a competitive clan like |?K|...just a group of guys having fun...I wish it could be more fun where you join games and joke around...Frankly I'm tired of getting pm's from "noob" clans asking us to cb....I'd like to keep cbing to the clans we know and love (KoS, AgT, Nads, etc.) since its a little more challenging....AK is not one of them...so Rapid...that's why I joined a clan and the next time you see me on gr...try to say hello instead of starting a fight...helps to make gr a better place

Well, we just really wish that you would fight, That's why I think that we need some kind of chalange system, if a clan is on the Battle League, then they should be battling all clans, not just the ones that they're friends with, part of a Battle League is to do competitive battles, not just play around as a joke, I have nothing against that, however, if you guys plan to be on the ladder, then you should be battling all clans, if you wern't on the ladder, we wouldn't care at all that you won't battle, it's the fact that you're on the ladder, and will battle some clans. A Battle League represents competition between clans, not just playing against your friends for a joke game, etc. If you get my point, Just my thoughts.

-Typhy

Typhy
arent you so far above cunt that it wouldnt matter if you won?
if so, why do you care if you battle them or not?

Brain:

1.) For the points.

2.) We like to battle, and they're an active clan, when there are other clans on, we will always ask them, and ask (unt last. It just frusterates us that they won't battle against us.

3.) Jeb's reasoning for not battling against us are: "You take the game to seriously, besides there are  better clans out there for us to battle against".

4.) They complain about how laggy the battle that we did for MaG was where we beat them 6-1 was, and they say that they would've won had it not been laggy etc.

Those are the main reason, the first one is the biggest one.

-Typhy

Yah *DA owned not the new DAF or whatever they had a cool icon to like the FBI guy or something in a suit

But than the trator night

looks over***

SK

omfg, i get back from vacation... 30 mins later i read this bs
welcome back i guess
typhy the reasoning for not cbing you is because you take RS way to seriously, plus you bother me a whole lot about cb you. You do take the fun out of my day online by pestering me over and over about cbing.
but basicaly i told you at least 10 times to not bother me about cbing. and you didn't listen.

to all you people who aren't to dense to listen.
IF WE WANT TO CB WE WILL COME TO YOU.

Yea jeb what a wonderful vacation...hittin up on mysterious waitressess with your grandmother  ??? LMAO..jk ;D....Typhy when I say that we like to joke around I don't mean that we NEVER cb.....We just don't take it as seriously as you do....LIVE WITH THAT....NOT EVERYONE IS COMPETITIVE.....and the cb's we do have..are fun, enjoyable, and with people we WANT to cb....As jeb says...plz stop pestering us

The first clan i was ever in was |NEB|. A rsd noob clan (after all i was a noob) mostly concerned with keeping to itself and teaching noobs to play better (in short it sucked.) After NEB died i joined [G.B.] ?all of the players in G.B. were horible so i kept away from them. G.B. was the veteran noob clan. When Mainman started acting like a PoS to me i left shortly after G.B. died. After that i went solo for awile then i helped start T?p (probably the worst idea ever) it died in about... 1 1/2 weeks. Again i went solo. Then i joined +S?fu+. I may be out of this clan soon also though because Meth is getting ready to boot me because i refuse to curse |?K| ??? ?i dont understand what everyone has against ?K but, alas that is a different topic. ? ? ?


DIE METH DIE!!!! ? ? ::)



Well today it wasa made official i am booted. ???

8)  Cool, I want to keep the subject fresh and hopefully hear more of you out on why you joined a clan.  Also I would like to know how many of you like to CB?  And if you do, how do you go about CB'ing clans?

1) Do you accept all challenges
2) Do you look for your own challenges
3) Do you not care about CB's
4) Only CB when you're feeling like a Hot Shot
5) CB only clans you know you have a chance against
6) Let your teamates do the CB'ing

Let us know how you like to CB.  It can help the challenge system be more efficient by knowing who likes to be asked and who to ask, and who not to ask. ;)

Well normally Fire will accept any cb, we are not afraid of anyone and have played all the clans atleast once.  But sometimes I just don't feel like cbing or somebody doesn't feel good or is having computer problems like I have been recently.  Then it gets annoying when other clans try to make you cb and start making fun of you and calling you afraid, that's really dumb to say to anyone in Fire because we've cbed you all.

Wow, guess i'm a little late witht his topic but oh well.

I think what psyks said on the first page of this topic is true.  People have a lot more respect for people in clans.  Its sad that some people who r in clans get automatic respect and others that just don't want to join a clan have to work so hard for it, most of the time not getting it just cause they're not in a clan.  However, even though i'm not in a clan, i still get a lot of respect from other people on gr who r in and out of clans which is cool.

P.S.  CBs r fun too so i'm prob gonna join one for the new BL season.  Also, i encourage more people to be in clans cause its really cool to be part of a team and make friends and stuff.  Remember...newbs r a vital part to the DAMN League, otherwise who'd take all the veterans' places when they quit rs?

i am in a clan for fun and good friends help my fun...

"stronger is the clan that friends join than the clan that joins for freinds" i apply this to my clan leadership...

-Rob

by joining a clan u basicaly.....

make a lot of friends and meet cool ppl.

get better.

and learn a lot of shi..... i mean stuff.
