I have been batting around the idea of creating another clan, one for HL2 this time..

few might remember, but i co-founded one of the biggest HL clans. at one time it had over 150 members, with an active participation level to make anyone proud.

anywho's, i was batting around the idea, one following closely to the same goals that made the other so famous/popular.

this time though, the authority structure will be slightly different.

any of my old clan mates, be interested in helping me create another clan?

PM me if you wanna private convo on it.

a players clan, who can map if they chose to of course.

mappers clans, don't play often enuff to warrant being a clan IMO.

if i wanted a mapping clan, i already have one of sorts here at snarkpit.

"The authority structure will be different"?

Does that mean you won't allow a popular revolt in the clan this time? Yeah, I'm up for it, but I don't know how much time I could devote to it.

time was never "my" issue yak, as you know.. but the command structure IMO needs a top, and a bottom so to speak.

[DRS] had 3 founders, the top.

[DRS] voted the admin (5 new members) equal power to the founders.

[DRS] spiraled to its present condition since that vote.

8 members with divided equal power, is no power at all.

anyways, i would be open to any serious discussions on the topic.. but my 1st priority, once we decide its a worthy goal once again, it establish a homepage, and a name.. i am leaning toward another derivative of "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels"

ATM i like "Little Scoundrels"

also, this time i would NOT necessarilly need to be on the top rung of the command ladder.

I'm going to see if I like hl2 before I start thinking of joining a clan. It'd be nice if the snarkpit could find a common server to play on as the vast majority of us will be getting hl2. [addsig]

I think the whole notion of starting a clan for a game that hasn't yet come out is silly.

so, your point cash?

its no more silly discussing a clan for a game, than discussing it at all. we discuss potential projects all the time, for yet un-released games. what so different about a clan, as a map, or an editor, or anything else for that matter?

besides, planning, and doing seldom go together.. it may not become a reality till months after HL2 is released.

i like to plan if i can get away with it.

I might consider applying to join, used to be in a few clans in my old days, but I don't often play online much, plus Doom 3 is looking to be a killer game...

Meh, we will see...

This thread does ask for opinions of forming said clan, does it not? My opinion is that it is silly. That is my point. I do not need more of a point to post in here I don't think.

I would join if my timezone was the same and I didn't get a ping of 300 on USA servers. Anyway, good luck Orph in creating it.

Good point, all depends on wether I have broadband next year... [addsig]

fact 1 broadband for HL was not an issue, i had 56k for 3 of my 4 years at [DRS]

fact 2, broadband might be an issue with HL2

fact 3 timezones are not an issue, no matter the bandwidth, [DRS] had members from virtually every timezone, or at the very least, enuff of them to render it a non-issue.

fact 4 this new clan will be multi-game oriented, so allow this to assist you in joining.

fact 5 its a long was from a reality.
