Title: New Gaming Clan
Post by: [RWP]DJM on July 05, 2007, 12:56:03
Hiya everyone :)

I am thinking of starting a new gaming clan for Ship Simulator 2008 to coincide with the Multiplayer release.  For those who have no idea what a clan is, please see below ;)

Quote from Wiki regarding clans:

'In computer and video gaming, a clan or guild is a group of players who regularly play together in a particular (or various different) multiplayer games. The word "clan" comes from the gaelic word "clann" meaning group of children. These games range from groups of a few friends to 1000-person organizations, with a broad range of structures, goals and members. Numerous clans exist for nearly every online game available today, notably in first-person shooters, massively multiplayer games, role-playing games, and strategy games.'

This clan will give us an 'extra element' to the multiplayer side of Ship Sim '08 (and beyond) as the development progresses ;)

I've already chosen an initial name for the clan and tried to find one that had unique 'Tags'.  Tags are the letters before your name to represent your clan membership.

Example:
[RWP] in my nickname.  This stands for Real World Productions, the first (and only) clan I have ever been involved with previously.  I founded this 'multi-gaming' clan in October 2006 and it's still going, although I don't involve myself in the clan duties anymore (I passed the torch to the senior members last month).

Anyone interested in joining, please let me know and we will make plans to get the clan up and running :D

Of course, any suggestions are more than welcome (either here or in PM).  The more suggestions we have and the more members involved, the better it will be, not just for us but for the future of Ship Sim :D

Regards.

DJM.

LOL @ first bit :P

As the Multiplayer is still WIP and full details are not yet available, we don't know what features are going to be included.  There are alternatives if VOIP is not one of the inclusions......Teamspeak or Ventrillo could be used for comms for the time being ;)

1 point I would like to make clear for anyone wishing to join:

Only members with legally purchased versions of the game will be accepted.  Anyone found to not have a legal version will either be denied membership of the clan or dismissed from the clan without hesitation.  We are trying to promote the online features here, so it's only fair to Vstep and all members for this to be a rule that, IS NOT, and WILL NEVER BE, open to negotiation.

Other aspects of the clan should be a discussion between members I believe :)

Regards.

DJM.

Thanks for the replies everyone, good to hear we have potentials ;D

Ok, as I've already mentioned, I have a name chosen.  I am about to setup some clan forums in the next week or so, as soon as they're up, I will post the link here.  You will then be able to register and we can start things rolling ;)

There will be public areas and member-only areas.  We may also need some Moderators on there, so anyone interested, let me know :D

I intend to assign at least 2 admins, but you must have previous experience of administration of a forum ;)

These forums will be used to discuss 'clan-related' subjects and are not intended to detract from our wonderful community here ;)

If you have any suggestions regarding the clan setup or the new forums, please let me know (in PM if necessary).

Regards.

DJM.

I think that's very immature and selfish. It might be funny to you but other people may not see it in the same way.
You are just looking to be a nuisense.

That is the name I chose, tags are [MPSS].  All topics are locked at the moment and no registrations are possible, I just wanted to know what you think of it so far :D

I have made 2 posts in the News & Announcements section ;)

I will add more skins soon and you will be able to select your own, instead of the forum default ;)

Hope you like it :D

Sorry for the late reply, I noticed you have already registered and posted ;D

I did a Google search for clan names and I kinda like the sound of this one lol.  It's also already setup and I don't fancy going through a couple of hours of configs on forums again :P

Well, as Multiplayer isn't available yet, it's just a discussion area similar to our wonderful community here.  The ultimate aim is to arrange matches, competitions etc. when Multiplayer is available ;D

Matches with other clans will also be a possibility (friendly matches), we've already had suggestions as to how these matches should be played.  When the SDK is released, it will open up a whole new world of Multiplayer Ship Simulator ;D

I am hoping to also get some kind of clan ranking system up and running eventually, not sure how I'm gonna arrange that yet though lol

Oke Thanks, buth gonna we play(al the members of MPSS) together on Ship Simulator online?

Greetz,

Eelkon

Sorry for bumping this topic, but 'Patch Time' was going way off-topic ::)

In response to Eelkon, yes the ultimate aim is for clan members to play with and against each other online, plus we could have other matches against non-members and maybe even the the Vstep devs if they are up for the challenge :D

You never know ;)

Hiya all :)

Firstly, I'd like to apologise for bumping this topic, but I know that some MPSS members don't login that often on our forum.  I've posted a topic on the MPSS forum, to let you all know that I am leaving MPSS.  This will happen in one week:

http://www.mpssclan.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=443.msg7977#msg7977

This topic can only be viewed by registered members - [MPSS] Clan Member.

I won't say anymore here, I'll leave you guys to read the topic :)

I'm now locking this topic to prevent discussions here :)

Kind regards.

DJM/Carl.
