    I'm Australian, and I think starting the first Aust NS clan would be awsome.

    I'm not, and I think that the people come before the place when choosing what clan to join.

    I am NOT saying that i dont want other people from other countries to join.
    It will just be easier because we are all local and the games will be a lot faster ping.
    Dont get me wrong here. I will not just play on Aussie servers because they have low ping, and i dont mind about high ping much anyway (fast computer, smooth gameplay , no diff) just that it will be easier to keep track of members because we are all in hell diff timezones and come on at differant times.
    I completely agree with you view about picking people before location.

    And I'm not saying I have a problem with an Aussie only clan. I'm just saying I don't see a point in location-oriented clans in which the members don't personally know each other in RL.

    Why not? It means that you can all play on local servers together..  <!--emo&;)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'><!--endemo-->

    Where do you live Tycho. Most of the servers I go on for CS have people playing from all over Aust in them. Often Half the people in a server live 400km away from each other. Generally clans form on skill, but when you have a limited supply of people things get tricky. I know people in quite a few Aust clans, and they certainly do not know each other in real life, simply because they live miles from each other.

    I don't play many mods simply because the servers are overseas and I get 400 ping on them. Clans are based on skill, but having said that, it would be stupidity to join a clan that was in a location such that you got 400 ping when playing for them. You would just be an encumbrance to the clan, and I can't see how that is better than just basing your clan on location.

    I can definitely see this being reasonable when it comes to an Aussie only clan.
    It might not make sense to limit clan members by location in say, North America or Europe, where most you are within 4 timezones of most people, but in Australia, the only close country is New Zealand, and they are both quite a few timezones away from most other gamers (in North America and Europe.)
    Organizing matches and practices with a North America/Australian clan would be quite difficult, due to the time differences. We have enough trouble with EC, as half of our members are European, and the other half are North American. There's a 7 hour time difference in some cases, and if we have matches against EGC, the time difference could be 9 hours to some of their players.

    Really, if you're planning on making a new clan, it would definitely be best to stick to members within the same continent as you. In our circumstances with EC, the positive (us being exceptionally good pals that know eachother well, albeit virtually) outweigh the cons of being scattered across the globe.


    You know, I think it is time we got a "Clan Forum" for all these recruitments/league announcements/etc regarding NS Clans. We've started to have a number of clan based inquerys pop up.

    Count me in too!

    I'm in Gladstone, Queensland.

    I don't know of a name, we should make it a habit to put our tags <b>after</b> our names, makes it easier to tab-complete. :-D

    It's a feature on mIRC, you type the start of someone's name and then press tab and it runs through all the names starting with those letters

    Hmm, Have you noticed how this thread was started regarding an <i>AUSTRALIAN</i> NS clan, not a UK one. Please do not try to hijack threads. If you think that you can start your own clan, fine, great, but start your own thread.

    that was a good idea on having people from your contry in the clan me clan fe has people all over the place and when we play sven or somthing for practicing team work are pings are horrible. so that was a good idea.

    It would be cool if we could squeeze Anzac in there so it could be a joint aus/nz clan.

    Carbon14: A clan cig would rock, great idea!

    I usually hang out in #naturalselection and #omgdoom (my own doom 2 co-op channel :-) on irc.gamesnet.net. I like the [AUS] tag, maybe it could be a double meaning acronym like Anzac United Something.
