we need new clans - fast!!! (Page 1 of 4)

nope. we (EVIL) are looking for more clans to increase the activity of the vanilla scene. it doesn't matter if they are high or low skilled. the number of good players will rise automatically when the scene is active.

I want help how to Make my clan more popular i mean i have make a site with all the info for it.The bad part is i cant make a server to make it popular so give me other ideas

Clan Name:Mafia

Site: www.teeworlds-future-clan.yolasite.com

I will provide 2 servers to one new clan, granted the following conditions:

* they have ad-free website and forum
* they are not German, Polish or Russian speaking -- I'd rather like an international, English-speaking, clan, but I'll accept UK, French, Italians, Spanish, Swede or Dutch players. It's a "diversity" clause.
* that they show a decent maturity level.
* ctf2 is among the maps they play (I won't lend a server to see it full-time ctf5 or worse, ctf3).
* one of the servers will remain passwordless most of the time.

While it's unlikely any new clan will meet those criteria anytime soon, you can still add it as "prize" to motivate all these ctf5 players to get their act together and start uniting as clans. Also, while the quality of ctf5 players vastly improved - though most remain midlevel -, most ctf5 games are totally unbalanced. It's becoming too hard to find a quick public ctf2 game.

Considering vanilla's slow death -- I put most of the blame on passworded servers (main offenders: Phonix, EVIL and Espada) and on captain games (main offenders: Germans who spend public games chatting instead of playing, and almost never play serious enough in a public game).

Proposed course of action:
* don't start captain games if the lineups aren't truly high level
* play public games seriously, and don't leave at the end of every game -- stay spec for a while then join again. You know, like it used to be before people misinterpreted the meaning of captain games (which is, for the record, just an ersatz for unbalanced CWs and a mean to play *balanced* high-level games)
* stop chatting in-game. Play.
* for ctf2 players, stop kicking people because you don't know them because you think they're "fakers". Seen it too many times, on people I know are ctf5 players.
* for ctf5 players, stop kicking people because you think they cheat. A few do, most don't. And I know that someone tries to votekick me for cheating/botting every time I play.
* stop kicking low-midlevels (full noobs who can't move are probably just 8 years old that should play on a lower-level server though)
* I like Alucard's proposal for new clans, but I don't think it will work. I have encouraged in the past the creation of new clans and succeeded some of the times (enS, Ka, WeedPower, Wrap's, ...) but mostly the community does not follow, for pride and other stupid reasons. I also like the idea to provide "prizes" to help them getting started. That's why I'm vouching for 2 servers. It would be nice if we had more.
* There are people over at ctf5 and on instagib, that's where people who have time and will should go to scout for new vanilla players, organize games between NEW players not to discourage them when they get raped over and over.

etc.

I think most people who match the profile you're looking for don't want to join clans/play more seriously because they see how competitive TW is at high levels, and they just want to have "quick fun". I'm also sure the flaming attitude of some high-level players has put off many potential players in the past. They must be made to understand that high level is not quick fun, but it's good fun still.

In any case, GL with that initiative.

cant remember that Z-team was always active

the reason, why there are not that much highlevel players, are the capgames.
capgames were played more often than clanwars AND publicgames together, and because every cap chooses the best of the best from spec, a lot of average players werent allowed to play and the scene became boring for them so they stopped.

and thats why there wont be any new legends like Me (:P) and ofc some more, but the most are lost.
like Magnet told you to play play more publicgames , the reason is simple. dont ban everyone because he isnt highlevel and let everybody play, then you may get new stars in the highlevel.
and you become much better from it than from capgames.

ty Style, i know i am awesome

i agree on most of your points, personally i also like ctf5 and often play public games on it, but for competetive playing its just to big, since its optimized for 7x7 or 8x8 and you'll never get 16 guys from 2 highlevel clans together to play clanwars.

ctf6 is absolutely shit to be honest, i dont know why it gets official, neither have heard about participating on the development of ctf6, but i guess its my own fault. we've already discussed that whole new maps thing in the evil forum and are running a community project creating a new map whom everyone can participate

yes, you obvisiously did. 2 active players and 1 half active isnt really a clan

ofc iB is gone, to LoL, and for me its just a stupid try to survive in tw vanilla with accepting unknowns like you...

hooray

Problem solved. Close.
