Anyone interested in starting a clan?

[ThunderPX]

I have a bunch of free time coming up, so I'm thinking of starting a clan, since there aren't nearly enough of them these days. So I'm pitching this to you guys to see if anyone's interested, since there's not really a point in making a clan if nobody'll join it. If this clan does get made, you probably won't need too much skill to get in, since I'm not that great of a player (Wallace lies.)

So, any takers?

[Grytolle]

Really, you should try to get new players instead. The public servers are full of them. However, great initiative! Always good to get new clans around.

[Fawriel]

For some reason, this "new clan" announcement seems more convincing than others I've seen. Good luck.

[Raven aka StL]

Oh, I haven't found it too convincing since the end of 2005...

Good luck with your manic march to the clan world, Thunder...

[KRSplat]

I'm not interested, but Innocent (ShadowRabbit) probably is. Or something.

[Olsen]

For me the reason is that ThunderPX is someone I remember, I have seen before, and is nice. Makes it all so much "oh, ah" than when randomrabbitxxxxxx, >>ultraman<< or similiar wants to start his clan. : )

Oh and, good luck!

[ThunderPX]

Oh, I haven't found it too convincing since the end of 2005...

I fail to see how a clan announcement posted in 2006 has not been convincing since 2005. =P

[Raven aka StL]

Uh... I obviously meant that the announcement about starting a new clan hasn't been convincing since 2005... ;)

[snzspeed]

i hope you get some members, since you seem really motivated, unlike most people who are making clans.

heh, hf

[PurpleJazz]

Good luck with your clan.

[FreeFull]

I think I will join. I can make the clan website.
I have Dreamweaver MX 2005 so I will have no problem.
Whats the clan name?

Edit: ups, I meant MX 2004

[ThunderPX]

I have MX 2004. I haven't really decided on a name yet, I'm planning on brainstorming with whoever joins before I decide we have enough for now. I've already convinced one of my RL friends to join, but another says he doesn't have time.

[FreeFull]

No time is needed to join a clan (exept whet the clan wants to check your abilities).

[Camou]

If you join a clan, you're expected to spend some time playing -.-

[FreeFull]

But I was posting on JCF lately so much that I rarely played...

[NovaStar]

I'm not interested, but Innocent (ShadowRabbit) probably is. Or something.

You read my mind! :D

[ThunderPX]

You read my mind! :D

He must be psychic! \o/

EDIT: Anyway, we need a name. Any ideas? I can't think of any that wouldn't abbreviate to the same thing as other clans.

[Erik]

Voodoo People [VP]

[FreeFull]

Good name (: .
Ok, now lets add the tags to nicks!!

[ThunderPX]

^ Except we haven't all agreed it's a good name.

[Raven aka StL]

<s>Clanwar?</s> :p

[Unhit]

gl hf, i agree with stijn (wth why didnt he post here yet 8(?)

[Stijn]

www.totalfreaks.com

[ThunderPX]

^ Wow, that's lame. Very lame.

[Unhit]

Disposal by the administration!!

[Camou]

<strike>Raving Rabbids</strike>

Zealous Pikas?

(As clanname suggestion)

[Fawriel]

Thunderstruck.
[Ths]

[NovaStar]

I'm with Faw's suggestion!

[ThunderPX]

It might sound a bit egocentric to have my nickname in it though, although it is a nice name.

[KRSplat]

bob
band of banjoists

[Grytolle]

Do something with PX as clantag

[KRSplat]

px
pink xtreme

[Grytolle]

(-) YEAH. that name almost makes me consider leaving CC!

[ThunderPX]

No >o

EDIT: Anyway, everyone who actually wants to join and doesn't post here just to annoy me, I need your MSN addresses or something so I can contact you.

[Sucer]

Yes! Thanks Thunder for being a pro:P I was close to losing the fate in jj2's future, but you've given me new hope. Honestly, seeing clans like BB and DFA I've been close to tears but now I feel fine again:P

[ThunderPX]

Except nobody is coming back to me about joining :(

[Raven aka StL]

Honestly, seeing clans like BB and DFA I've been close to tears

You're right, I should never have tried resurrecting a legend...

[snzspeed]

starting new clan is kind of bad idea though.

[Raven aka StL]

I absolutely agree.

[Grytolle]

in what way

[n00b]

Wallace just hates competition, thats all.


<THIS POST IS A JOKE>

[Raven aka StL]

Obviously that starting a new clan is a bad idea to say the least...

Also, It would take a year in the very least for a new clan to affect competition...

[Grytolle]

There's nothing "obviously" about that.

[Raven aka StL]

Oh yes there is.
I do appreciate your opinion on it though.

[Sucer]

Hey Thunder it's not that people wouldn't love the idea. I think it's more just that every "good" player in the community is already in some clan, and propably have made vows or promises of some sort that they stay loyal to that clan only.

Of course there are some exeptions and those people prolly join your clan, or then they don't, but the best place to get new members is (sadly) the battle servers. There are many new names and some of the players there are quite big talents. They just need time to get good.

[Raven aka StL]

Starting a new clan is a miserable idea no matter how you look at it...

You should get good and join some actual clan...

[Camou]

A new clan is not a miserable idea. It's just your elitism that makes it like that. Anyone can start a clan with a group of friends, or be leader of one. There are still lots of newbies on the servers now, who could become good and join a new clan like Thunder's.

[ThunderPX]

Sucer: I realise that, but it's more the fact that people have already posted saying they're interested and never got back to me.

Wallace: Stop it. I don't care if you want me to join clan X. Quite frankly, I don't think there's any point in a clan existing if there's only one around.

[Raven aka StL]

There are plenty of clans already. No more are needed.
Also I've always concidered clans to be for developed players
instead of new people.
I think new people should become good and then join a clan
or something, but indefinately not start a new one.

Of course that is a question of opinion, so why don't you show
how mature you are by shutting up about it for now...

[Stijn]

Of course that is a question of opinion, so why don't you show

How about you shut up about it too? FYI, the topic is "Anyone interested in starting a clan?", not "Do you know any reasons why I shouldn't start a clan?". No need to repeat your off-topic stuff several times.

[Raven aka StL]

How about you shut up about it too?
That'd be obvious by now.

[ThunderPX]

I find it very ironic that you keep going on about this with that FQuist quote in your sig.

[Raven aka StL]

That only proves that you misunderstood the point of the quote.
Matters not...
If Stijn thinks I should stop, I will.

[FQuist]

Please get on-topic, starting....now.

(also, I'm not sure that my quote was actually misunderstood.)

[Sucer]

ok I'm on topic, but I'd just like to say that there ARE NOT enough good active clans, couse there are two, three or maybe four good active clans. (8D,C-C, maybe VS is active and maybe iT is good) So more clans are needed. "Resurrecting" a clan that reigned jj2 in 1993 is not an option. (xd)

Thunder have you come up with a name for the clan yet?

[R3ptile]

VS? you gotta be kidding... even TF and DM are more active than us :O

[Raven aka StL]

"Resurrecting" a clan that reigned jj2 in 1993 is not an option. (xd)
"Resurrecting" a clan that <s>reigned</s> (seldomly played) jj2 in 1999 is not an option.*

There. Done. Happy? You better be... or you get PINK APRICOT PIE ON YOUR HEAD!

haha yeah 1993 right ;P

[NovaStar]

When I was BORN? :O

[ThunderPX]

And here I was thinking I was the youngest member. \o/

Anyway, we briefly discussed pie and that there's no pie clan but that 'pie is good' abbreviates to 'pig' before Innocent left, so we don't have a name yet.

Unless you don't mind the name being egocentric like Thunderstruck.

Cracco Club started with Cracco Boy and I don't think I've ever seen anyone complain about ego. And Thunderstruck is just a normal word right? You just so happen to have ThunderPX as your name. I see nothing wrong with it at least.

[Raven aka StL]

And Thunderstruck is just a normal word right?
And by what I've heard an old clan...

[Sucer]

Where have you heard that kind of crap.. excuse me, stuff?

I know thunderstruck is a song by ACDC but an old clan? I don't think so...

[Raven aka StL]

Don't doubt stuff you dunno about...

I'd call that almost a saying by now...

[Camou]

*Watches as war starts over an old clan name.*

There are tons of uses for Thunderstruck. I'd say, go for it!

[ThunderPX]

Wallace: You have just as much proof that there was a clan called Thunderstruck.

Actually, Camou, you're right. Tons of people have come up to me in JJ2 and saying "OMG YUR NOT DA REAL THUNDER!!11" referring to some other Thunder guy who used to play and was miles better than me. Then, I said "screw them," and now I say "screw Wallace." Let's go with Thunderstruck.

[Sucer]

Kewl name. Tag could be TS but it's maybe too similar to TF.

[Raven aka StL]

I give up, you're all hopeless...

[Fawriel]

Ths not TS D=

[NovaStar]

But I just thought you wrote a "the" typo. D=

[Erik]

Halcyon [HC]

it's like HardCore except it's Halcyon!!!!

[Jerrythabest]

Let's just merge all clans and call it
Federal Union of Communicative, Killing and Experienced Roasters
:p :p :+

[Camou]

very funny

[Jerrythabest]

well yeah, maybe. if you think so :p

did Thunder make a clan now? and if yes, with who then?

[ThunderPX]

Could everyone who's still interested send me a PM or something?

(Well, except Innocent. I know she's still interested.)

[Erik]

tf (not really only me for now) is interested in supporting this clan :thumbup:

[Sucer]

I saw Dizzy today. Would be nice if he would be more active.

[Raven aka StL]

I saw Dizzy today. Would be nice if he would be more active.

What's that got to do with this clan?

EDIT: Though I agree with you...

[FreeFull]

DogFish (DF)

[Birdie]

... Don't you mean DOPEFISH

[Sucer]

Hey noob has won CraccoClan in a poker game! Here's the change to steal members like Chiyu, Anakin, Vegito and Grytolle a Noob prolly kicks 'em out!

:/ *doesn't believe*

[Sucer]

Is this going to happen? Thunder if you wanna manage a clan and play jj2 you will succeed. All you need to do is start a 1-man clan and start recruiting people. Go to battleservers or CTF servers and ask for duels from noobs. Then tell them about your clan and ask them to give you their MSN or something. This way your clan will grow and among all those noobs there has to be a few really talented ones.

...so by your logic if Thunder recruits about twenty newbies/noobs/whatever hopefully one or two will be good? Hate to say it, but that's a little flawed. Whatever. Basically, for most of it, DUHH.

Playing in a clan with a better leader that hosts training and stuff really makes you play better.

[NovaStar]

Oh, ha ha, very smart. Well I was thinking of reviving AW with one of my friends and actually getting trainings regularly organised on a steady connection but it seems that some people are so unappreciative that I think I simply won't bother now.

At least the n00bs would get back to me about the clan >_>

[Jerrythabest]

at least you got a clan then :P

[Sucer]

Honestly think about Jerry. He made a clan like that. Recruited some noobs from servers. Then he found some people with great talent who then jumped to another clans because RR wasn't good enough for them. Of course those guys were huge noobs to clanhop because of the skillness of the clan, but anyway I doubt that problem would occour if Thunder is the leader.

[Jerrythabest]

shall I sig that one? you just called yourself a huge noob :lol:

[Sucer]

shall I sig that one? you just called yourself a huge noob :lol:

Rofl yea u can do it.
