So we've gotten a huge influx in people registering on these forums. Our glorious leader AJ says he's been recruiting people, but even he's still fuzzy on the details and it's hard to find out what exactly is going on.

If you've registered within the past 2 months, please introduce yourself here and tell me what the hell is going on. As the only person who manages the forums... Well... It's not a huge deal, but I'd like to know where you came from.

Thanks.

Event: The clan will come together to discuss various topics regarding the future of large and small scale parts of the Clan, and its new recruits. After discussions and deals come to a close, gaming sessions (undefined game) will follow. You do not need to attend the games, but it is required you attend the meeting.

Advancing in this clan is easy to do if you follow the clan rules. There are a few factors that can possibly seem daunting, but in all honesty, they're not. Just remember: A good clan member deserves promotions.



1. Longevity
     Promotions can simply be given, especially the lower ranked ones, through your time in the clan. The longer you stay, the more due you are for a promotion. Of course, this scales with rank, and at a certain point you can't get promoted simply by being in the clan. If your personal "Clock" comes to zero, and you're due for a promotion, but you haven't been active in the clan, you will not receive the promotion. You will, however be notified that you aren't contributing before your countdown reaches zero, and you will be given ample chance to redeem yourself.



2. Activity
     Being active in the clan is critical, if not the most important. You can get promoted via clan activity mainly by just playing regular games with the clan, but one is slightly more recognized if he/she also participates in clan meetings and in-game scheduled clan events. Just being active in the forums doesn't count, but it's always lovely to know you're an active part of the community, considering the clan is just that.



3. Special Actions
      There are also certain cases where, if you particularly prove yourself to admins or the clan, you can get promotions. For example: Taking on a one man task for the clan, doing tasks specifically assigned by admins, or just doing spontaneous acts of kindness and benefit for the clan members or the clan as a whole. If you happen to be quite the productive and dedicated person, and love to do things for admins, your promotion countdown can be shortened, to a point of being cut entirely in half. Get creative and keep yourself open.


4. Quality of Work
       These forums didn't get all shiny by themselves. If you took away all of the sizings, spaces, and colors, what would you have? Sure, you could still see the raw information, but it would be put together sloppily and just not very fonz-fresh at all. What we strive for in this clan is quality. Quality over quantity. Actually, Quality AND quantity. We want the very best from our Clan members, because if each and every one of us is doing good work, the clan will prosper. If you take on tasks for this clan, the effort is one thing, but the end result is something different. Not only be active, be dedicated. Not only play, but play as a team. Not only be in the clan, contribute.

True people receive true talent.
Welcome to our admin team!
You have reached above and beyond your expectations.

After nine years in development, hopefully, it will have been worth the wait.

Welcome to the Tactical Gaming Squad. This is probably completely irrelevant if you have had any sort of talk with AJ in order to get into the clan, but take a gander at this anyway.


                                                           
                                                            Fonz here. Be cool, like me. Fonz-cool




All of us probably rage in game, and I bet some of you throw around some could-be-considered racist stuff with your friends, and we understand. I can fully admit to having the rage being 50% of any game I play, and at least 20% of my skill. That's fine, we don't want to be the **** blockers of fun in-game. However, in terms of forum usage, EVERYbody gets tired after seeing the phrase "Shitting dick nipples" in every other post.

That being said, try not to **** people off or cause heated (and probably retarded) argument in the forum. Keep your conflicts private. If you honestly have a problem with somebody in our community and can't deal with it, talk to a high ranking officer or an admin. If you're attacking someone personally, or having very heated arguments, you are therefore simultaneously not being fonz-cool.

In terms of gameplay, being Fonz-cool is also key in some areas, especially if you're prone to Greed. For instance, in L4D2. Don't hog the medkits, and heal someone if they truly need it. This is especially prominent in Killing Floor. Kills equals dosh, we can agree on this, no? Therefore, if you're a berserker who just loves chopping everything up, leave some for the other guy. Even the field medic. Make sure everyone gets their fair share, and if you honestly can't do that by letting them get a few kills instead of you, then make sure you are spreading the wealth at the end of the round. Sure, you may be a hotshot now, but how are you going to kill the Patriarch when you're the only one with a good weapon and everyone else has floppy pink dildos to smack him around with? Berserkers can only kill Patriarchs when there's teamwork. Hell, progressing in Killing Floor is possible only through teamwork.

Don't get me wrong, we're not all business here. If every game was solely dedicated to getting the set objective done, I wouldn't be a gamer as much as I am today. We'll leave it to you to decide when to crash the helicopter with 5 of your allies into a wind turbine and escape by parachute, spray a Goatse.cx in the spawn room for maximum lulz, and when its srs bisnss mode.

 We are a clan of gamers as much as we are a community of friends, just keep that in mind. Treat yourselves as clanmates should, and the clan will reward you back. Besides, friendship IS magic.

There really isn't too many iron-fist rules here in the community. Most of them are just reiterations of "Use good judgement"

Thanks, and have fun.
