I'm not the clan type..never have been and probably never will...but as i see the numbers slowly gain on Lunixmonster and the people joining the server i cant help wonder if there would ever be a clan formed...in which case if there ever was...hopefully the server and forums will still be public :huh: .......
(see what happens at 3 in the morning with no coffee and no way to fall asleep... :blink: )

Well, if you want a clan, there is basically a Lunixmonster one. Clan NCR has a lot of people that play on the LM server often. Other than that, I don't think a clan will arise, but you never know I suppose...
-
I'd much rather see a "group" of people with the LM tag than a clan.
-
A clan with just the regs will be pretty sweet.
-
Err NCR is headed to oblivion actually.
We never scrim anymore and everyone just rpetty muc idels in the channel never saying a word, for hours if need be.
-
Yeah, but I see many of you NCRers playing on LM and FSD a lot more, so that's fun. Clans are always more, for me at least, for the sense of community they offer. I can already get that on LM, so why slap up a tag and be at all exclusionary?
It's like I'm already in a clan but with a membership of like 50 people, and I don't have to actually go and play at pre-set times for scrims and such. Viva La LM!
-
Yeah, Bob said.
Why does it have to be a clan, though? Guilds are harmless.
-
might i suggest that LM regs go the way of ppl in the joe.to community. if you participate in the community and such, they put on .j2 on their name, so if i was a joe.to fanatic, my name would be *cringe* [OldF]*Niteowl-TSA.j2 *dry heave*(makesmental note to take off some of those idiotic tags and such). oh, lets say without the other tags, it'd be Niteowl.j2.
maybe set an end tag like .lm or something? something simple and identifiable. that way admins can keep all you regs from STACKING!! jeebus!! :S ;)
yes, guilds are great. the 'clan' i'm in is so haphazard, disoraganized, non-competitive, it's pratically a guild. i think it works better for stability/lack of drama etc etc. so, yes! viva la LM guild!!! err, with LB's blessing :D
-
Ok, I have to agree there: .lm does have a certain understated charm to it. It would have to be in lowercase, as written. .LM or -LM or [{(--ELL-EMM---)}] or what have you are too clannish. As is, it's fine. Or maybe .lmc for lm community.
Totally unrelated, but what is the TSA tag? Just another random guild made up of a bunch of clans?

incredibly loose organization just showoing that you will uphold the ideals of it in game. you'll notice that the other fellows who sport TSA tags are team players, generally good natured fellows. i applied (it's really simple) to be in after i saw a few TSAers who i respected (Keyser, and Jane being a few of them).
-
if I ever find a tag or any silliness like that on my name I'll do incredibly hurty things to the person responsible :p
-
no lub, just no lub for the owl :'( o_O

Gem: I see, you don't RESPECT the community you belong to. You make the Bob cry!
Niteowl: That's neat, now can you explain what all the [e] [e/a] [e/r] stuff is that TSA people put after their names?
-
awww... ~huggles owly~
I respect the people, not the community ^~
-
Hey Gem... yeah... these forums ARE the community... ;)
OMG POST 500! ;)

From what I can remember of the original post on the NS Forums, those letters designate the player's specialty. For instance, [e], if I remember correctly, means engineer.
-
yeah.. heheh i actually dont' remember them all.
v stands for variable, meaning you like to do/are good at any part of the game.
e stands for engineer, pick this if you like to help build/defend the base, weld things etc.
c stands for commander if you are a good commander
r stands for recon if you like to sneak around and spy on the enemy
a stands for assault if you are an offensive player.

I remember back when I played with all my tags on..

With a hint of ]WNF[ on the side..
Those were the days.
Bu seriously, clans based around servers suck. A clan shouldn't base its activity around a server, even more so if it isn't actually theirs. I mean, look at Prodigy Clan. We used to be a great, fun clan. Then we lost our first NS server. Yeah, we got another one, but the clan pretty much died then and there. I just hasn't seemed to give up for some reason though. The problem was that all we ever did as a clan was run the server. Without the server, no one partisipated and most people wandered off. Then we got some more servers, recruited like hell.. and when those went down, or even before they went down, all the people we recruited left. I think we went through something like 20 recruits on one server at on point.. I think only one of them is left. :(

Nah, we're still around. Our four best people kind of just left but we should be up and active by next week. Muga basically started out as a whole bunch of people from LM who wanted to scrim, then it became NCR for reasons I'm too lazy to explain.
-
NCR did lose its good people, so basically anything left of them is community support, the core gamers and clanners who like competitve play are long gone

I was going to say something along the lines of thats basically what #MUGA was, and now it's basically NCR"
but Jefe summed it up pretty good

I could talk more, but I think I shall not :ph34r:
-
Sounds like intarweb drama.
So what about a community tag, what does anyone else think about that idea? No clan, no elitism, just a tag to show support for each other. (and make it easier to see reg stax)
-

yes, one of them being you you traitor :p
yeah, we still exist. we play for fun, not for victory.
if we're not active enough to retain vet (which none of us really care about, as we have a lot of consties) then so be it
and who said the tag was required? all you have to do is play/talk/exist ...
well yeah, we are basically two groups.
- lunixmonster players
- guys who live in kansas (4 and rising)
-
This has gone far enough.
*locked*
Hey LB, locking is much more effective when you actually LOCK THE THREAD :lol:
