clans....
ok i don't know if its just me, or is it if you have been in alot of clan you get tired of them. i think its just a stage in gaming where you think you most be in a clan, what you think? i think i would still like clans if i get recruited into a dedicated one

alot of gamers go through the "i want to set up a clan" stage and design something on freewebs with a .tk domain and an invisionfreee forum. Most dont last a month.
IMO you can usually pick a dedicated clan by 4 things 1. Domain name - I maintain a sucessful clan needs its own TLD (.com .net) or CCTLD domain to have a chance, that or a novahq.net subdomain (http://www.novahq.net/?show=subdomains) 2. Hosting - Paid hosting indicates a level of commitment, i dont know of a clan that was sucessful with freewebs... 3. Name - Clans with names like "The Axe Throwing Killers" dont tend to work. You know the type, you go to their site and the entrance page is a gothic grim reaper or something. 4. Forum Community - usually gives you a great picture of the type of squad they are. Only reason im in a clan is because i was involved in making a mod with them a few years ago and just stuck around, i dont play games or anything. Its the only squad ive ever been in...

my clan is "The Axe Throwing 1337 n00b Killers!!11!" ... oh hang on...
*aheem* anyway i guess you need to figure out what you want yourself. Do you like playing competitively, want to play with ppl you know, go to LAN parties etc i've been in 2 clans, one for 3 years and now one for just over a year. I love the benefits of being in a clan rather then playing with myself (so to speak ). i was invited to join by both clans, and i played with them and got to know them before joining. it's a big difference than just finding a team i don't know and going for tryouts. benefits of clan over being squadless IMO: # a paid server that is fast and relaible that you can admin # more than just a few mindless hours online each night i.e. we actually know each other due to having LAN parties (every few months) which mostly involves drinking, eating, filesharing and a little gaming (and some paintballing ). # teamspeak - for organised chaos it just makes it a lot more involving and interactive, and I got some real life friends out of it to i guess it's a case of finding the right clan :/ fyi both clans are made up of more mature gamers, from around 20 - 40+. they are all kids at heart and squabble sometimes (stubborness) but they do have a bit more sense than younger guys acting uber leet - you know the point i'm making here. the result is a more stable group, that has money to pay for web hosting and gameservers and will travel to meet up. |

Well, The contacts all over the world I've made just by joining a clan are interesting. Its put me intouch with people in 3 other continents, and we have had a lot of fun playing LW, TFD, BHD together.
Judging a clan by the website they use doesnt make much sense, as there is more to the relationships between the friends there than just programming ability. Essentially I feel clans just broaden the gaming experience, and when you need a break you just play solo a bit....
