I see a new clan evertime I enter a game in tremulous.

So what? Can it be helped? Can we just go in there and tell everybody "HEY, UR CLAN SUCKS CUZ IT AIN'T L33T GTFO!"? Of course we can, and we do, but does it do any good? Is there any real clans for any game out there in the internet? What does it take for a clan to be "real"?

Sorry Tex, but I find this topic to be quite useless, you have noone to blame on because nobody can take all the blame here, so it looks like your attacking Tremulous as a whole when clans are based on people- not the game.

Not all clans are a joke, like AoD, vR, ACR, AA, etc. I'm sure there will be dis-agreements to what I just exemplified, but clans like these help different people in their own way.

Clans are just scrimmages between other clans, "real" clans help shape communities and boosts positive attitudes towards others. Yes, that means even clans that takes in noobs are good ones if they help the said newbies. Competitive clans develops new skills for players and helps keep the community active and have fun participating as a member. Fake/retarded/unwanted clans that are there for shits and giggles and has poor guidance are the ones that breaks down most often.


But then again, I'm taking this too seriously, so I apologize to you. What do you (or anyone) think we should do about it?

And this sir, is why you will never be apart of the clan scene, no matter how much you spam the clan forums. You have been fed too much of Power's =Void special. Clans are not black and white, they support whatever cause they feel important. Maybe someday you'll realize the meaning to "internet community."

While I agree to an extent, every clan has a different purpose.  These clans that pop up all the time are built on same founding for the most part.  Who cares if they aren't scrim active and die after a day?  At least they're trying.  It's not like the people making them will get considered for the clans you consider important anyway.  There is no reason to mock them, different people are meant for different things.  Guys like you belong in the "big tuff guy clan", guys like me belong in the "I think I'm special when I'm actually shit clan", and guys that make clans that die the next morning belong in their own clans.  Play and let play?

No, duck, you can only see one character. Anybody else with a fairly up-to-date client can see the name just fine. The people that we want there, are there. They could figure out the difference between A and A<3. I guess you couldn't. Hint: our blaster does not one-shot kill a rant. kthxbai

AoD is my own personal army. I have a grand vision of class equilibrium, and so through the lure of a getaway from daily life in the form of a club focused on controlled violence, I ordain people into my secret society and gradually brainwash them. Soon, I plan to take down the office buildings of several large credit companies with dynamite home-engineered from soap. This will erase the debt record and bring us closer to economic equality.

All I can say then, sir, is: Enjoy your sock-puppetry. Oh, and this:

The anonymity of the intarwebz ain't enough for you? You really need sock puppet accounts to say something over a modem to a person that you've never physically met, thousands of miles away? You, sir, are a giant wuss. And please notice that I didn't have to register a new account just to tell you to GFYS. Lame-ass. You make us real trolls and flamers cringe with disgust. Please dry up and blow away.

As I questioned you in-game, what is your logic behind the fact that having a lot of members means a clan is not real?

It isn't about numbers, clans come in all sizes.  Some like to compete some don't.  It's all a choice.  I think this thread was started to try and goad flaming, which it has started to.

People do still clan for real, and the clan scene is more active in scrimming than it has been in a long while, although the same clans generally scrim eachother a lot.

Still, the clan scene's just about the only place to find anything at all around Tremulous, North America at least. There are literally NO true public servers anymore running non-modded shit, and the only servers where you can have a good pub game are usually ruled over by members of certain clans.

He has a point. {V}, AA, <3, and maybe !s are the only servers I ever see with relatively decent games on.

Those are *the* only unmodded servers you will find games on. Therefore, other servers with population, are modded (RE: The D*S and X/A/M/C Epidemic)
Title: Re: Is there any "REAL" Clans anymore....
Post by: Celestial_Rage on February 25, 2009, 08:03:57 am
You guys forgot Dretch*Tsunami is another unmodded server. Same with PureTremulous, though not many still play on those servers.
Title: Re: Is there any "REAL" Clans anymore....
Post by: Dracone on February 25, 2009, 11:53:34 am
Tsunami and PureTrem were pretty good when people played on them, but I'd want to go even further back, to the days of BeerGarden and Boom Boom (Fragify during its really good days).

Puretrem doesn't count.  IIRC, I stopped playing there when they started fucking with the hitboxes.

If we are going that far back, I'd like to say that Random-Seed.net was one of the best trem servers (I think it had 1.1.0 gameplay, of course this was before unlagged, dretch punt, and telling the what team the speaker was on)

Puretrem has no hitbox modifications.  The whole point of puretrem was to run as unmodified as possible (hence the name).  Unlike most servers, it does not have share which is arguably one of the larger modifications.

Me, I miss AKKA though I don't miss finding it full and realizing that there are no other populated servers :)

So basically I'm looking to see if there are any games with a clan system that are worth buying.  Future games can cout too. 

I'd like to know the same thing. This game used to have a good, competitive clan scene but it has been degrading into shit for a long time. It's pretty much a joke nowadays, but I've yet to find anything better.
