Are There Any Good Clans?

CommunistWithAGun · March 2004

#Carapace is a good clan. Not in cal-invite...yet. Maybe in 2-3 seasons from now if we improve a little in an area or two. But we are pretty good. Undefeated in omega. I know to a lot of you invite people it dosen't mean much, but then again, this is just a game. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' />

leave it to CWAG to pimp out his own clan...

anyway clan level play > public level play in every single way, even the very good pub servers will suck in comparison to the organization and teamwork (and stress i guess) of clan play. The cal-i clan members playing on pub servers probably aren't taking it seriously, if they're not flat-out smurfing. they're just there to practice their aim or movement.

if you want to join a clan, #findnsclan is a good place to start looking. I would also suggest the clan recruitment forums here, but they're flooded by clans who probably find it very hard to get off the ground through forums alone. #nspug too if you want to play with a lot of clanned people, you'll get a decent game out of that... sometimes ^.^

It would appear Skill in game is in direct negative correlation to social capability.

Best NS clans I'd say are ktdm atm, the BCK guys will never go down for best skill ever but are one of the most fun clans to play with (and can pull some very nice teamwork when needs be)

It all depends what you're looking for as a 'good' clan. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' />

Meb whats up biotch. Also, I dont like the new ns maps and think that co and ns maps on the same server makes the pub players suck more at ns. They dont know how to work in teams follow orders or kill a skull with an lmg. I say back to 1.04 or 2.01 even though I do like playing co(its a good change up to play it after a couple of ns maps)

criogenics · March 2004

1.04 = "Comm jp/hmg plz"

Destroyer · March 2004

since 3.0 and even in 2.01 clans have disappeared, the only set of people i have seen playing is the .es people in battleforthegalaxy, which seeing as it is a pub tournament the opposite team got pwned righteously

I like the Exi clan that shows up on the server to play. A couple of times they got one of them got banned for being too good, but that got changed quickly.
With the cinderious Part, he Generaly **** of the Community with a bad additude. He was a real nice guy when he wanted to be. but when most of the comunity wanted him gone. It just could stay.

So now the WarmFuzzyLand policy is it doesn't matter how good you play. It only matters if you an arse about it or not.

Sorry just had to defend my Favorate Server some.

Other Than that, I love playing against skilled players, and liked playing against Cinderious for that matter, because he was a challenge.

I have huge respect for the pandas who bare the burden of being the best without being complete asshelmets about it. Not the same can be said for all top clans not that I am going to negitive any names. eXi = scary good team play as well as individual play and in the time they went from exigent, to envy, to exigent again, they seem to have grown up and are almost fun to play against now. eR, mostly cool, some... not so cool all VERY skilled players. Rather than run down the list of who is fun and who is good I will say this, much respect goes out to all CAL - I teams and CAL - O teams for that matter, because who is "good" changes so frequently it will make your head spin.

I remember when it was

Syn, RED, Pandas, Ham, EGC, tE,(the old really good one... no disrespect Twilight Eclipse) eR and x/o working its way into that mix, and for a split second C*B was considered at top clan. now let say that was just before season 1.

now Syn = RIP RED = RIP HAM = innactive EGC = RIP tE = RIP X/0 = RIP C*B missed the CAL - O playoffs and the pandas took most of season 1 off although they look good right now.

In came dn'(who was also pretty good as SID) Who has tons of tallent. Exigent accended into the top level of play. eR finally earned the respect as a top level clan, and OSS shocked the world earning top seeding in CAL eastern confernce last season. The now defunct ASX was turning heads and becoming a top level contender.

So I offer this, Clans are not important as they are just like major sports teams, players change teams(much like critical, who I understand plays for both teams). Keep your eye on good players and watch what they do, that will make you a better player. Who is good will change, its bound to, but find a clan that you fit in with. Dont join a clan just because you think they players are all good, IE submerge, or Parasite, who had all the tallent in the world, and broke up after just a few weeks. and everyone that said it was right #findnsclan and #findnsscrim are both great places, you can meet people in the same boat, or ring for an exsisting clan, and learn/show off.

Anyway I went off on a tangent... maybe Im just excited since its finals week and all, but anyway thats about all I got

omg, SpaceMoogle5 remembers Theory of Evolution, my old clan, which i loved so much =)

But anyway, back on topic. Pretty much man just check the CAL site. <a href='http://www.caleague.com/?div=natsl' target='_blank'>http://www.caleague.com/?div=natsl</a>. And just go to standings, and you can pretty much figure out who the top teams are in north america/(and a euro team aswell .BM)

And just join their channels and just talk with them, ask if you can join, or atleast play with them a bit, to see on how they play if you like the way they do, but uhh, anyway, i'm out :o <3 meb <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' />

Check out <b>#findnsclan </b>if youre a newer player. I'm going to create a registry for new players to leave contact information such as email in the database so registered teams can contact you also. Use the bot to find teams that are registered and recruiting.

They have the testicular fortitude to play american clans on american servers? That's alot more than can be said about other euro clans.

You ssaid it kiwi....I was gonna post about the singaporean clans but looks like you got here first....

dunno about top clans, but currently AIRInc and h.factor (both singaporean clans) are what I think, some of the better clans out of the bunch in Singapore. -v3x- is closely trailing them though.

As for Hong Kong....well....let's say Tr-Ns has been the only HK clan that has made a public scene. Of course, WILDCAT pops out every now and then but then.... sadly I think they're below average....<img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif' />

BTW kiwi, I forgot to mention, but I think I remember stf being one of the better clans in Australia....anyone confirm this?

We don't play in any leagues in america..

And one of the reason why we're known is because my brother ****'s himself to the entire us community (mostly exigent though.. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif' /> ).

We have an american server for the reason that americans are fussy (except exigent and dn..) about playing on euro servers, and its hard enough to find a game against euro clan as it is right now..

fanatic · March 2004

Allright, there seem to be a lot of misconceptions going around, about the european ns clan scene (Geronimo comes to mind...). I'll try to clear some of it out:

<span style='color:red'><u><b>The top european clans at the moment are:</b></u></span>
(in no particular order)

<b>KTDM - Keep that Donkey Moving</b>
Somewhat new clan with members from clans such as Tronic and the old Torment, combined with several other accomplished players. Mixed european with a lot of Swedish and British members.

<b>RaB - Rabbits are Beasts</b>
Old clan from way back (1.04 and possibly earlier). 100% French.

<b>Torment - Torment</b>
Old clan with new members. The leader (Tark) of Torment decided that the old Torment weren't up to scratch, so he threw them all out in one fell swoop, and took in the finnish clan klebab11 to play with the Torment tag instead. Still very skilled, allthough nowhere near the performance the old Torment could put out in it's days of glory. 100% Finnish.

<b>DW - Division Wiking</b>
Old clan from way back (1.04 and possibly earlier). Mostly Finnish and German players.

<b>BM - Baconmännen</b>
Old clan from way back (1.04 and possibly earlier). 99% Swedish.

<b>bP - BreakingPoint</b>
Old clan from... You know the drill by now... Mostly British.

Anyone interested in the european clan scene might want to check out the <a href='http://uknsl.far2cool.com/' target='_blank'>UKNSL</a> and the <a href='http://www.clanbase.com/news_league.php?lid=1322' target='_blank'>Clanbase NS Opencup</a>.
