Maybe you should ask m7feettall for some hints to do this successfully.

you should get a lot of hits if its only text recon... I know alot complain about not wanting to join cuz they dont want voice...

Well Apoc can't use voice in the first place as vent has troubles with linux. So he kind of needs to keep the clan on his level and not be excluded from the recon that can be given during the match/scrim.

We already talked some

But the best advice--Don't worry about getting plowed 90 percent of the time. Noobs will not compete with top players. It is just the way it is.

Of course we also employ a controversial policy that helps our members. We do not allow trash talking or swearing etc. in our matches.

The swearing part is a taste thing. You could just limit it to trash talking if you wanted.

The reason for this is that new players get discouraged easily. And frankly there is no reason to go on and on bashing a training clan. We already know we suck. We don't need reminders.

Some say at the competitive level trash talking helps. But good clans don't need that help against us.

Therefore those who do so, or those who reject the policy outright, go on the no-scrim list until they change their minds, if ever.

You might consider something such as this that protects your players.

I'm looking for some good training... I haven't got much time but I am willing to spend some time on good training... So give me a pm if you're willing to give me some proper training with your clan.

Apocalypse · « **Reply #10 on:** November 24, 2007, 06:03:43 PM »

Sure 7mau also just so you dont get uncomfortable when I ask you for a tryout its only to see where you're at we'll almost definitely except you unless you're absolutely horrid don't have IRC, and go on like 10 minutes a month.

7mau · « **Reply #11 on:** November 25, 2007, 03:35:38 PM »

but when will u come to irc? today and yesterday i been waiting for u almost all day. but r u sure u only want a training clan and not a normal one? because it is cool participating on tourneys even if we loose.

Justinph5 · « **Reply #12 on:** November 25, 2007, 04:53:56 PM »

A training clan is a regular one, people just label them as training clans so people who want to join will know the main point of the clan is to help individuals learn and get better. Its so new players will be interested and its a good base for them to jump into the match scene without worrying about messing up or losing.

Training clans are regular clans, just with a different purpose, we are still able to scrim, match, and join tourney's. We are just prepared not to win, since most of the members are newer.

Apoc that's a god idea

But will the player have to download Ventrilo or anything else?

Because i know i couldnt be in Int cuz i didnt have any.
Now i only have X-fire and MSN.GOnna get AIM soon

flip · « **Reply #15 on:** December 02, 2007, 03:32:27 PM »

using any free email based messenger is kinda pointless don't ya think? just use irc or in-game chat. at least irc wouldn't bog your pc down as much as say yahoo msg.

Apocalypse · « **Reply #16 on:** December 08, 2007, 07:44:46 PM »

Yeah we just use ingame or XFire btw flip did nub talk to you about my idea?

7mau · « **Reply #17 on:** December 09, 2007, 08:13:19 AM »
