Computer forum clan

awildgoose/ steam - awildgoose

I mainly play TF2 and the occasional CS:S. I am hoping to buy some COD's but.

But +10 GMT so I probs won't be able to play with some of you guys.
 
Sorry to be a partypooper here.. but Have you talked to Ian before 'dedicating' a clan to this site? I don't think you can just pick the name of this site without asking him first realy. (especially not something people have to pay for, looking at the TS thingy.)

I mean, if things dont go well with that clan, it'll be associated with this site aswell. so Imo you should ask Ian first, since its his site. its the least you can do.

That is a very good point. Yeh because if someone (not me:rolleyes:) pisses someone off and they have CF or whatever in their name or it's on a CF server then people will probably go on this and complain or something.
 
Exactly. The mod team will not endorse a clan because we do not have control over it. If something bad were to happen, it could reflect poorly on Computer Forum. And due to the nature of clans, its not worth the risk.

However, we do support the community gaming together. I personally think its a great thing and have had tons of fun playing with you guys. Organizing times to play together is awesome and there really arent any issues with the Xfire and Steam groups that have been established (because they've been well managed for a while now). Its just clans tend to be volatile. Having a bunch of clan things (claiming to be part of CF) going on other places other than this site gets messy and hard to control and this opens lots opprotunity for conflicts and issues. You get my drift?
 
Hang on....i joined the CF a long time back...I was active for about a week in the clan and that was it,Because i was never available when they had matches.

Anyway whats the status on the old clan? has it gone?

I kind of agree with what Archangel said though,If anything bad did happen it could end up looking bad on Computerforums part.
 
Right, I am thinking this then:

1. We come up wth another name, not computer forum with CF tags or anything, in steam ye becaus of the steam group, if we ever form a proper "clan" then we will need a different name

2. IF we get to a seious stage with servers and recruitment and what not, we will most probably have a site, should that a happen a link to this forum I think would be in order and that is it, purely to show the roots of the "clan" and to advertise the site more

It was said a couple posts back that it probably shouldn't be called CF because there is already that clan sort of going around (tdk isn't cf, but they still have the steam and xfire group), but as there are more and more issues about the name coming up, i agree that probably not having computer forum at all in the name would be better.

We should organize tournaments too

For the moment i partially agree, i think we should ahve an internal tournament, so maybe a few teams of 2 or something having set matches on CoD for a set time so all matches are the same, get a table up and everything, work out a way to get points and see who wins. Rather than for serious, just for fun, or something similar on another game. I say CoD because TF2 needs quite a few people to get it to be a good game, a 4 person game would be no good and we don't have the numbers for a 20 person game yet.

But this then leads to another problem, which is we would need a server, which as i said before i can't afford, if any of you can and would donate it, awesome, otherwise everyone interested will have to chip in

Tdk has several cod4 cod 5 servers so if you guys needed to use one for fun games i would be glad to password one of them for you so you can do this. Aastii i would not want to take anything away from you and i would not care what clan tags you want to use so if you are interested just pm me with the dates and times you need the server and ill pm you the password and rcon password so you can control the players and maps.

awesome, thankyou very much. As for the clan tags, probably won't be using CF anyway if we get serious, simply for the endorsing purposes that have been said by several mods in several posts where the clan has been mentioned.

As far as the playing together goes, what do you lot reckon for a day this weekend at any time from 9-11pm GMT, whichever best suits most of you? If you can only make an hour then still come along and join in :D I say that time because then ht people who are 5-7 hours behind it will be alright for them if they aren't doing anything during the day, for goose the +10 would put it as morning for him ,so he could join in.

Also, as most are saying vent, i will go ahead and change the server over now and post the new information up

I can give you access to the server so you can impliment the password when you want to arrange your games and you will be able to remove it when you have finished so when you get your games more organized just let me know.
My xfire is titfat
my ventrilo channel is
hostname/ip voice401.inx-gaming.co.uk
port 6263.

meaman has offered us a server, CoD4, 5 or L4D and when the vent server of mine runs out he has offered us to use his whenever we need to go on, so thankyou very much to him for that.

My question now is which would you prefer to get? I am voting straight off for either CoD4 or 5.

The servers let the ping go over 150 anyway so if you have high latency issues it is fine for you to join
 
I think CoD 4 would be a good choice...I think everybody here has it:) I think it would be best for max participation:) Great time choice by the way...I'll be there!

How exactly will you post the server information? In here with an IP address? We could just look for you on xfire and join your game maybe?

xfire: ScOuT
Steam: TheScOuT4

*****EDIT*****

I just saw you changed the first part of the thread:D

So not to be the barren of conspiracy, but this just seems like meanman is on a PR mission for the tdk clan. If that's not the case I apologize, but I would think it might be best to seek another server and maybe a nickname for the cf clan to keep the site seperate from the clan but still be a clan with site people?

All i was trying to do was help you out, the offer still stands but if you want ukulele_ninja you can always go and rent one. Anyway if you had been in our ventrilo with me and Aastii you would be more informed on what is going on.

ukulele_ninja i will explain what was said in vent...

firstly the post that meanman put was a "response" to a post that somebody made (not this one) which wasn't strictly true, it was sort of a statement if you will. Yea it was to advertise but it is coincidence that we started this whole thing up and he posted that up.

secondly, meanman has 5 (i think :P) cod 4 servers, a couple cod 5 and not sure about L4D, so he said if we want to use one then that is fine, he will set me up with ip, password if we want and rcon control, and also in response to my ts/vent running out he said that we are free to use his, anyone in his servers are, they aren't password protected and there are a couple channels for non-tdk members.

So, unless he has a strange alternate motive which i can't see, it is pretty much just out of kindness for helping us, and he may get a little publicity for the clan on the side, but look at it this way ukulele_ninja, we get a free server out of it whenever we would like to play :P

About the 4 and WaW thing, so far it is seeming that CoD4 is the way we are going, so those interested in playing a few games, get it installed :P

Also, the thing about the different name sounds awesome, could we have some suggestions and whatever we get after a few days i'll make a poll and we can vote on a name for it. No tags yet, unless that is crucial because it is a pun or whatever, because we can sort that out after, and remember please, it is a "clean" site so therefore clan, so please no bad language or inuendo in the names put forward

Also, reply to my post a couple ones back otherwise we aren't going to have a time at all

Perfect time for me:)
 
I was not trying to be a jerk or anything meanman, in fact I appreciate the hospitality :).

Just making sure that it wouldn't become a 'TDK and CF' clans are the same thing situation. No disrespect intended in my previous post.

As far as a clan name, I have not got a clue, just thought it would make the mods happy who were nervous about the name being associated with the site, which is a good point.
