What the Deal with Super-Size clans?

Originally posted by Sk-iller I don't think that time zones should be much of an issue. It never affected my ability to play with my american counterparts on a regular basis and shouldn't be a factor in recruitment. I don't care if its night wen i'm playing and morning for trainwreck, we will still kick arse.   And listen to Mommy, UT3 is something to do with your spare time not something to do all the time.

Yep you both nailed it right there... I gotta admit that in past times I was totally addicted to the game. Looking back it was fairly sad! Play for fun and play with people you enjoy playing with, I guess if you follow those lines you could have a clan of anywhere between 3-30 members!

On a personal note the perfect clan for me would be 5-6 people in the same timezone who regularly play together. Of course its likely that this would only exist in a perfect world because not everyone can commit as much time to the game.

Realistically 10-12 members is good but people bought the game themselves with their own money, if they want a clan with 40 members then who are we to judge?

Originally posted by SP61gTSupra I prefer small clans, when we started out, it was a few cool people that we all knew each other, we all fit in, there was no new guy who felt awkward cuz he didnt know anyone! A few of us had an almost twin brother like connection, we all knew what was going on and how to respond accordingly, and countless night of 4,5,sometimes 6 hours of practice! I remember one night with Ghost,Neo, Harm, and myself playin together for almost 8 hours one night, getting our lines and our jobs down, and figuring who did what better! I miss thoes day *sniffle

Fn A may be the exception idk but I thought they came from 360? There aren't many clans on 360, cant think of any that ive seen in all modes but i dont play CTF often. TRU existed before league right Lunchy. And those guys weren't you all in tWc or summit. You used to host market district and other small WF games cos i played in them.

Remy has the right idea.

Let me explain it more. You should have at least some people that know multiple modes. For example tRi is a CTF clan and Go_Dead and Xerxes play WAR the most in tRi. So when we have a clan match in WAR, they coordinate everything. I don't know much about WAR so when they tell me things I pay attention and pick up on new strategies etc. So our chemistry as a team improves while being able to expand to other modes.

TRU has 3 members. I play warfare everyday.

Originally posted by Black_star Originally posted by FraaaaZ not everybody plays every single mode. the more players there r in a clan, the more diverse array of skills the clan has. u can set ur teams specialists to play for certain modes. for example 8 of ur team members maybe vctf experts so keep em for vctf. 8 other players maybe experts inf wf so have them available for the wf team. if u have players that play all modes put them in more then one mode to represent ur clan.......... :-D Why not just learn other modes? Is it really that hard? I think clans are too big now.

8 people per clan is enough imo

Originally posted by RemY Teammates' capabilities and weaknesses is what I meant mommy. Also with drokun's post.

Well in my opinion, I'm the worst player in the clan. I guess when I play with them and learn to be better it's hard not to feel awed by how well every single player in A-R knows their strength and who is suppose to be where. They have something I haven't seen in other teams. All I mean is when someone in our group can't play there is someone to fill in, everyone knows who can & can't do. It is amazing how well we know each other.

Originally posted by Drokun I think he means teamwork which followed long practice with always the same couple of people Originally posted by Mommyrox Originally posted by RemY With smaller teams you would able to function more as a unit. Team Chemistry if you will. I disagree, I have great chemistry with all my clan mates. I enjoy playing with all of them. I love TDM with DoD.I even like VCTF when I am on the opposite team of Chris & Bio, I know I'm gonna lose but I still have a blast. Kargo with Shewulph is great fun. Popping up & having King say "Mommy was EVERYWHERE!" the coolest. Playing Sandstorm with River & Arkos way too funny. Getting shock combo'd by Sandfox lol. Aqua in a tank (hope I'm on his side). I could go on but I don't want this post to be three pages long.

I don't know any clans that have 40 active members. I have also been in a clan with 5 active members. I have seen more cohesion in A-R then I did in the smaller clan. They have taught me what being a team player means. Proud to be A-R.

no offense.. but noone in the ut3 community knows how to make a clan.
