new clan restart

[dragon]

8-)yo mushi when you starting the new clan ... you said some time over the summer and its summer so id like to know whats happening. keep me in the loop man. ok l8r ;D

[dragon]

ok i think we can put the ideas that we have for the new clan right here. we had some good brainstorming yesturday and i think we can do this sucessfully. we were thinking of something along the lines of dues for all admins on teamspeak and servers that we lease. i myself can spare a few dollars a month but i dont think i can do it alone. galamushi is our undisputed leader. that is a given. we discussed games that we as a clan would play. id prefer to keep it to free games and classics (cheap and every clan member can afford (perhaps dues can help with this as well.)) i like gunz ( free for all killing game) and americas army, and also wolfenstein enemy territory. all these games are free. we can become what we once were only much stronger. leader had a great idea. but one of the best parts of his vision, was our clans most potent weakness. command structure. we didnt have ranks, although this was great for people not bossing others around, those with more expierence were ignored by newer players and the newer players were decimated. mushi is our top fighter, he can own anyone in this clan therefore he deserves to lead us to victory. ill probably be on later tonite on xfore to discuss this in detail, so all of rd is welcome to join in. topics include:
clan name: mushi was thinking of some form of E.D.G.E. or G.O.D.S. or something like that.
games we play: americas army, guns, bf1, bf2, halo, we'll have a vote or two and se who has what and what we all as a group like.
command structure:mushi at the top perhaps 4-5 generals that answer directly to lord galamushi and their squads, or any other suggestions from rd members.
whos in: original "declaration of domination" list of all original members and their new postings
minimum standards for new recruits: age activity on the net, gameing time & so on
recruiters:who can recruit and whom judges the new recruits
dues: yes no and if so how much?

and any other ideas that anyone has to discuss. ill try to get a quote on how much teamspeak is to lease a server. teamspeak should be a must for our clan because i look back at it now.... and i dont know how i ever gamed without it. longevity. excellence. acumen domination. L.E.A.D.
.... oh and acumen means intelligence lol. see you tonite.

ok i got some quotes from some sites and it depends on how many spaces we want and so on. the web site can be free through several sites so thats not a problem. for teamspeak its between 5.00/month and 17.00 per month
10 players-5.00/month
20 players-9.00/month
30 players-13.00/month
40 players-17.00/month

now theres bravenet.com that has a premium account thats 9.00/year and theres a special right now and its 2 years for the price of one. thats less then 75 cents per month. americas army servers start at 20/month and go up. theres also a clan that has a very well defined command structure and awards that i think we should model our new reformed clan after. i have the link and ill give it tonite but like i said.... i might not be on as much as before because i work at brighthouse now and im a dad as of april 18, 2006..... but 20-30 bucks a month is probably nothing to me so i can help there and i have programming expierence so i can help with our website developement. our clan can start small with a few of the best of the best rd members and expand from there. right now i think at our core we have
snodog
galamushi
suijin
dragon
ender
and ill add more names as i become aware of them.
but of course ill need authorization from lord galamushi before i do anything financially. also the dues that some people pay can be built up to purchase games for the clan, equipment: a mic, a new vid card... and so on. we will need an accountant that is good with numbers and can be trusted. since i bring in somewhere near 2 grand a month and have been loyal to rd since its early days i think it should be me or someone of equal or greater moral content. i love useing big words lol!
we can set this thing up and get it going. its not that hard. i know we thought it would have been in the beginning but now that some of us (mushi and i) have debit/credit card accounts we can make this happen. if needed i can take on the majority of the bills but any help from clanmembers is much appreciated and will be used entirely for the clan. even if someone could donate 5 dollars a month that would help. even if we dont get an americas army server then the dues total would be like $5.75 ooooo scary thats like 30 minuites at work for me. something like that i can handle no problem but something like a server (20/month) that would make a small dent in my budget. i could maybe cover like 10-15 a month but id appreciate it if i didnt have to cover any more then that. moneys a bit tight guys especially with a new baby. but 6 bucks is nothing to me. we can have a free battlefront server and use that. or we could just set up free servers. like i said i could cover it but id need a little help if we wanted a leased server. id only ask that if i did put forward this money id want some credit for doing so or admin rights on the teamspeak server or something. wow i make the longest posts here dont i? guess its because i have a lot to say and am bored outta my friggin mind here in training!!!
ok talk to ya later tonite.

OK so we decided that we definately need a teamspeak server up. we need to also decide how many slots we need. im thinking 20 to be safe and thats only like 9 dollars a month. then we need to decide on a name. we were tossing around some ideas earlier (E.D.G.E. G.O.D.S. ) but the name decision ultimately falls back on lord galamushi. we also need to make a list of what games we play and who has what game. the dues thing.... i think a smaller ammount would be better then a few people paying a large ammount. 5$ per month isnt anything to a memebers parents. hell they could earn that doing extra chores or something. 5 dollars dosent look like much but when we get a few people together...... 5 becomes 10...15....20....50... and so on. the clan has bills to pay (example: teamspeak server, website hosting, game server... etc) but the rest can be put into a group account that can be used to purchase anything from a new mic to a new game that we decide as a clan that we want to expand into.... 20$/month per person...... is a little excessive i think. we'd be rich like no tomorrow.... but wed have like no members.... ive learned that the larger the clan( even if most are noobs with a few good players) is feared more then a clan of maybe 4 or 5. also theres the "advertiseing" aspect of this. 1 person could maybe reach 5 people a day... with maybe 1 or 2 that are interested in joining. now think about total clan membership number. 5 might bring in 10 extra people which brings the total to 15 members. 5 dollars per month membership there is maybe 75$ per month tax free. now think if we had like 20 members that went out and each brought 1 more person in. thats 40. 40 members times 5$ a month 200$/month. more members adds up better then 5 members at 20$/monththat might be 100$/month. and also 5$ a month is easier on members budgets. i know myself that 20$/month might put a dent in my budget and i work full time. what about members that dont work? or work parttime and have school. also we can have special rates for those who have been members longer..... as the clan gains noteability and strength then members would be willing to pay more to be a part of that clan. less is more in this respect. we need to set standards for all clan members as well. everyone needs to have a mic or be getting a mic sometime in the near future. communication in these games is what separates the noobie clans and the best of the best. if youve ever played a game without a mic you have no idea where your guys are and where the enemies are. if theres an enemy attempting a flanking manuever and someone gets "shot in the back" they can ghost that the enemy is flanking us and we'd be aware of their approach so that we can plan for it. have you ever played a game where theres one guy who seems to flank you every time and you never hear him comeing? teamspeak will solve this. that makes all the difference between being the best and being a clan of noobs. post here if you think im wrong, but im almost 100% sure that i am correct. there are 2 other new clans that have come to our attention as of late. as we are not yet fully organized and fully formed, no alliance offer has been accepted. an offer has been made and i believe that when we are up and fully running.... we should accept this offer. but again all decisions regarding alliances and declarations of war are to be made by galamushi and confirmed by galamushi. as like before, there were rumors that leader was completely quitting the clan and that was not true, he was just grounded because of grades. rumors can be dangerous. thats why ill only believe something if galamushi says it is true. thats again why i didnt give up on the clan even when there were rumors that we were dead and dust. WE ARE NOT DEAD YET. we are reforming, even if it seems that theres no activity for a while, rest assured that we are reforming and reorganizeing and there will be a golden age soon......


im bored outta my mind here at training so im sorry if i seem to be rambling on but like i said.... "IM BORED OUTTA MY FRIGGIN MIND"

[shifty]

me too, btw when u guys say bf1 and bf2 plz change it to saying swbf1 and swbf2 becuase there's a battlefield 2 and everyone knwos it as bf2 so just call star wars battlefront 2:swbf2,K?

[dragon]

k lol i can see the confusion.... how is battlefield 2 anyway? ive been hearing good things about it.......

[RDDragon]

Yo Ender this just came to me... I was just at the new photon raiders website... they list that youve never won any medals. Is this because their records began in march of 2006... or the fact that theyve never given you the credit that is duely deserved? I think you at least qualify for the medal of honor, air medal, expert marksman, and the tournament medals..... I'll vouch for you that youve always represented =TPR= (to me) as a highly organized mobilized force, that youve displayed valor in battle and excellent marksmanship. The clans records should indicate that youve been a member for quite some time and have been one of their best representitives. If theres anything that i can do ( say in an email to an admin or higher ranked officer) to help you retrieve you're due respect..... IM me.
Im here if you need me.

power to the new RD. also, i've always liked the =TPR=. i don't know why, but i just do...

[shifty]

we(EW) are doing very well in BF2 and im improving more and more in all the classes, especially medic.
Just recently we faced DE clan and wooped their asses so much and i have to say that was my best match of all time.I killed like all of them 6,7, or 8 times each.
