View Full Version : Warboards Clan?
Is there a Warboards Clan? And if not heres an idea!
Well it hit me today while i was playing Frozen Throne that it would be fun if we had our own Warboards Clan. Open to any member of Warboards. If you guys think this is a cool idea tell me because i think this would be fun. (I wouldnt be the leader im far too unskilled.)

I don't know if there is, but it sounds like a damn good idea.
we should make one, but I'm in a clan already. If we do, is it possible for me to leave a clan without the cheiftan disbanding it? Just wondering.

I'm a shaman in my current clan, but I would gladly leave that clan for a Warboards Clan.
It is possible for the chieftain to leave the clan without disbanding it; the chieftain can make one of his shaman's the chieftain, while the previous chieftain is demoted to a shaman.

good idea.
me clanless
will join for warboards cause
us east (azeroth) if possible
ya im in a clan too, just I'd like to be in a WB clan. So u can leave any clan ur in without it disbanding? Is there a leave clan button?
Ok nice seems like we got alot of good plp gona join. If you all want to make it go ahead and do so :) I cant be on for the rest of tonight or this week. Ill b on next weekend though so if you guys could get it up by than that would be awsome.
And yes if you have been in your clan for 7 days as to where ur a grunt or shaman you can go to the clan member list and right click your name and on the drop down list it should say "Leave Clan".

Ok, but we need at least 10 people on warboards who are willing to join. I have got a list so far including...
Myself (Cheapo5020)

Sadly, that is only 5. In addition, gateways could be a problem, since most of us will be divided between Lordaeron and Azeroth. Getting all of us on bnet at the same time could pose as a significant challenge as well. We will also have to organize our clan so that we could possibly get somebody who could help make the clan a good website, and we need a chieftain, who plays a lot, and is a good leader, but is a good player as well. We would also need to plan clan activities, or else being in the clan becomes pointless. I think setting requirements for the clan would be necessary in order to promote activity. I'm not sure what to put the requirements at yet, anybody got some ideas?
I nominate Spaztic_Ninja the Chieftan of the Warboards Clan!!! If u disagree, I will pawn you!!!:_owned:

I would join under a diff name im on USWest(lordaeron) my name is 7_SeVeN_7. I think with something so big not one can lead. we should have one chief and 4 shaman(for now) and major decisions are a vote between them. So basically the shaman hold the same seat at the chief but without full control we just have to rely on the chief to follow the rules.

I'm all for it! I'm on Azeroth, and I'd join! ...well, assuming I'd meet requirements. Could we please NOT make stupid "level x and y win %" requirements b/c in my own -I suck at WC- opinion, they suck. But those are my two cents. my bnet handle's DrowElfDrizzt, I'm on Azeroth. PM me, email me, IM me, msn me, whatever, just let me know what's up when the clan gets together.
Cheapo5020

I would join under a diff name im on USWest(lordaeron) my name is 7_SeVeN_7.Wait a sec... Did you used to be a shaman in Clan EFC? If so, I know who you are.
Anyway, I agree with what you have to say, and make the clan sort of a democracy instead of a monarchy, if you get what I mean. I know... I was a chieftain once, and it would have been cool if all the power didn't rest on me. Another advantage to having a system like that would be that it would be easier to organize things like clan activites, etc.
However, we need to think of a name. We need a name that sounds cool, but not stupid; a name that people respect. We also need a name that would represent our clan well. Anybody got any ideas?
As for requirements, I do think we should have requirements, but like ChunkyMonkey said, I don't think it should be "level x, x%. Maybe have some kind of test?
Yeah that would be better. So if everyone could meet up today at around say 6 oclock on azeroth in channel Warboards we could get the clan started tonight. Oh and ive got much better so i mean if we have no cheiftain ill be glad to take the position. My acc name is Bur1)enPractice@azeroth

I'm thinking, maybe we should have different clans for different gateways? That way, it would accomodate both Lordaeron and Azeroth players (I don't know anybody here on the other 2 gateways).
*Cheapo sticks his sword in my chest*:_owned:
How about a Cheiftan Election? Everyone will be on the ballot (who wants to), and we'll vote by poll. BUT if we do, don't vote for urself, as that ain't cool.
On the idea of two gateway clans, it's a good idea, but it might not work out. As you can only be in one clan @ a time, and making new accounts is annoying, as we're all gonna have to get new stats, and switch btw. accts and gateways, etc. And it's annoying.
Those are my thoughts so far. For a name, I'd pick... clan AoE (Axis of Evil), or GoH (Guardians of Hell). Those are some name ideas.
ChunkyMunky
11-17-2004, 5:08 PM
How do AoE and GoH reflect Warboards? Since I think the Warboards name is cool, I think we should be Clan Warboards. Don't ask me about an acronym...perhaps WxB?
Addition: Cheapo, what if the requirements had something to do with activity on the Boards and on Bnet? Like, "x total posts, y bnet games" Say, 50, or 100 posts and 25 bnet games?

It doesn't. He asked for a name ppl would fear, so I gave some suggestions. I'm fine with Warboards for the name.
That's a good idea, with WB requirements, like 50+ posts and some other stuff I can't think of anything else.
A WB is a good idea, however, you can't stick the Warboards name on without permission. It isn't your forum, your not even moderators, the most posts a single person has on this forum from you people is 187? I hate to say it, but your claim to the Warboards name is slim to none. You want to make a Warboards Clan? PM Edgewize and get permission first.
Cheapo5020
11-17-2004, 10:44 PM
We don't necessarily have to call it a warboards clan. It would just be a clan of people that commonly post on warboards.
Another thing...

What, and you have a greater claim to the Warboards name??? The amount of posts a person has is completely insignificant.

Cheapo5020
11-18-2004, 12:51 AM
I have more to say.
I think that Guardians of Hell is pretty good, except that I would not be surprised if that was taken already by somebody else. I don't think we should require a specific amount of posts for the requirements, but I do think that everyone should at least regularly post on Warboards for the requirments. I also think it would be better if people played at their own pace, as long as they were active, otherwise, the clan becomes more of a responsibility than a privelage. If somebody is losing a lot, I think it would be best if the rest of the clan helped them out. That would be better than a specific percentage. Just a few thoughts on the matter.

Did I say that I did? Did I say that anywhere? No. My point is that 187 (or 193 as I believe it is now) shows no true committment. A lot of members never even reach 300 posts.
If you are going to bring Warboards people into a clan with a different name, that's fine, but you just can't attach the WB name to the Clan name. You can refer to the website in profiles and stuff, but you can't go around parading the name without permission. All I'm asking is that if you are considering using the WB name, you at least PM the proper authorities for it.

Wait a sec... Did you used to be a shaman in Clan EFC? If so, I know who you are.Yes i was. Took awhile to remember which that was ive been chief of like 6 clans and shaman of 10. Anyways I like the no max level and % being im mapper and i play custom and suck at regular. I am in a clan currently but i think im gunna quit. also i like the 2 gateway clans just there will be some problems. No matter what we will have some problems but will will get thru it.
also about the only warboards members. GOOD LUCK! getting 10 wb members on both gateways at one time to make a clan. Wow my suggestion is in the begining recruit people not on warboards and the few that show up. Then the new people have to go sign up here or refer them here. Whos the Chief BTW?

All I'm asking is that if you are considering using the WB name, you at least PM the proper authorities for it.I don't think we will be actually calling ourselves a Warboards Clan, unless the people that are going to join want to, and I also understand the whole permission deal if we do. However, I still think that the number of posts doesn't reflect commmitment to Warboards, but the rate at which one posts instead, as well as activity in Warboards. Prozerran only has about 120 posts, but he is more committed to Warboards than us, since he accepted the position as a moderator.
Now for the second thing I would like to talk about...
XTD-Seven, you may remember me as BigFatChicken; I was the chieftain of that clan. Interesting that we find each other on Warboards.
I do also agree with recruiting more members. Eevn when I first saw this post, I doubted we would have enough people on Warboards that would want to join, so recruiting will be necessary.
Everybody, ask your friends to join our clan and Warboards!

Ender:
If posting x number of times doesn't show 'real' commitment for one not offered a mod or admin job, then what exactly does? I've only been on WB for a few weeks, and I'm near 40 posts already...hidiho2 is in the 400's, and they've only been here since August. So, Ender, what do you say shows commitment to WB? Just because I don't have 800+ posts, does that mean I don't care? Some of us have lives outside these boards, too. I don't care what we call the clan, since you're the one who's most anal about this, tell us what we should call our clan.
Ender concider this. When you say "Proper Authorities" you tallking about mods or admins im guessing. Well if you take a look at some of our mods some of them have less posts than you but they were still chosen to become moderators of this forum. Take Prozerran for example. He has 116 posts and you have 880 and yet he is still the mod and you arent. So please dont spam about things you havent looked into. We shall use the WB name as we please.

Ummm, we still have to decide who will be the chieftain first. We need a good, dedicated Warcraft 3 player. It would also be preferable if the chieftain was a good leader. Post if you think you meet those requirements.
Sorry for double posting, but I think that I am an eligable canidate for the chieftain, so I am just saying so right now.
EDIT: Nevermind, for some reason, I thought I double posted :) .
Ok i nominate cheapo5020 as the cheiftain of the clan.
If your looking for shamans i think
Myself

thank you.
Seriously, Ender, I think you have to lighten up about the situation. Look, Wc3 is just a game, and I think that you being so, repetitive about it, doesn't really matter. We heard you the first time, we'll ask for permission for the name, and I think there have been enough arguments about the fact that # of posts doesn't matter. Nuff said.
Anyway, I nominate cheapo as well. But thanks for the shaman nominee, though.

Hey guys, if you're using the WarBoards.org forum as the home for your clan, you're welcome to use the WarBoards.org name. I'm sure a WarBoards clan will be a lot of fun. Both me and Prozerran are representatives of WarBoards.org, if you have questions, feel free to ask, we're around all the time.

11-19-2004, 7:19 PM
Thank you for permission :) . Wow, apparently, lots of people want me to be the chieftain. The only problem I can think of is the divided US East/US West gateways. Anybody got any ideas on how to solve that issue? We can either have two clans, or we would have to be willing to give up our account names for new ones on another gateway.

On a serious note, congrats on 200 posts *everyone glares at Ender and whispers under their breath 'unequal representation my arse'*. Jk Ender.
Also, about the clan gateway issue, (I mentioned this in the other gateway thread) can't clans be in two gateways at the same time? Answer in either thread.

God that pissed me off....
Anyways now all we have to do is wait about 2 days for the vote to finish up and than arrange a meeting time for anyone who is interested to join to meet us in channel Warboards

Alright. First off...gang banging ISN'T necessary.
All I was trying to do was maybe point a little, easily FIXABLE flaw with you plan. I offer a little meant-well criticism and you all start jumping down my throats. Excuse me for pointing out a potential copy-right violation.
Secondly, you are ALL misinterpreting my post count remark. You're right, I should have clarified a little better, but I DID state that it wouldn't be the first time that someone has come on to the forum strong, then disappear without a word. Check the member's list and you'll see what I'm talking about.
Thirdly, I SUPPORTED the idea of a Warboards clan. I stated that in my first post; I've always been a strong supporter of a Warboards clan, and back when Blizzforums was the spot, I supported the clan there too.
Ender concider this. When you say "Proper Authorities" you tallking about mods or admins im guessing. Well if you take a look at some of our mods some of them have less posts than you but they were still chosen to become moderators of this forum. Take Prozerran for example.

~LouayDon't speak to me about "not looking into things." Prozerran is an active member and a great moderator. His posts are incredibly useful; I've read pretty much all of them over the years. As for me not being a moderator; there was some debate over a new moderator being added for the RP forum, which I frequent the most. If YOU looked into things (for instance, maybe trying to find something about who you are debating against to make sure you are in the right) you would find that I am a powerful force on the RP forum; some even CONSIDER;) me the foremost RPer. Personally, I believe that spot goes to Geno. You might also find that I don't commonly post in the Warcraft forums on Warboards, but if you check Blizzforums you would find that I have a massive post count in their Warcraft forums. You might also find that I really don't give a damn about being a moderator. Would being a mod be cool? Yes. Does it make that big an impact on my life? Not really. Perhaps you aren't aware that just because I don't post as OFTEN as people do, I've been an active member of the community for almost two years. I'm on the forum multiple times a day. Even if I don't post in the threads I READ them.
And when I said "Proper Authorities" I was referring to Edgewize(and I did say that in an earlier post) since he owns the forum, I believe.
Ender:

I don't care what we call the clan, since you're the one who's most anal about this, tell us what we should call our clan.
Is it just me, or does anyone else find that contradictory. I have a life outside these forums as well. I take voice lessons, have girlfriend whom I see outside of school twice a week, in addition to taking 5 AP courses and a fine arts. I just finished being involved in my school play, in which I had a leading role. I play lasertag every saturday. I studied 1 hour a day for the ACTs for a week (and I pulled a 29 btw-with that, my course schedule, and my extracurriculurs, as long as I keep my GPA above a 3.0, I'm accepted into James Madison College at Michigan State-one of the premier Political Sciences/International Relations schools in the country). You may notice that I have "800+" posts because I have been here a long time. My post count has never exceeded more than 5 posts a day, which, since I took a typing course and type at a relative rapid speed, I can do 5 posts of this length (the entire post) in about a half hour. (That counts reading the threads.)
Please people. I came here in good faith. I was polite and courteous, and you begin flaming me immediately. I find this rude, inconsiderate, and disrepectful. If you pulled behavior like this in Intellectual Roundtable or Member's Lounge, you would get a lot more grief than I'm giving you: none. I'm merely defending myself. Attack if you will; I'll still keep winning.

11-19-2004, 10:21 PM
WOAH! if u felt that strongly about it, just say so.
First off, we never doubted you had an outside life, we all do, it's just some people think (very strongly) that people shouldn't be judged by thier 'outside' (post count, arcade records, etc.) when they should really be judged, in this case, by their true commitment to these boards (not as long as they've been here, you know what I mean by now).
Next, there were some clarification issues that I should bring up. The thing about # of posts was very misleading. You should have stated something more like this:
"Not even I have the authority to use the Warboards name in anything I do, even I have to ask permission from Edgewise or one of his equals."
That would have made things much clearer.
So on behalf of at least myself and anyone else who has the balls to apologize to him for being wrong, I'm sorry.
By the way that post with cheapo's 200th post was a joke.
sorry for double posting, but I forgot to bring something up:
This is getting extremely off-topic (I know im not a mod just bringing that up before one does), so let's all stop flaming Ender and start actually planning clan stuff now.
P.S. Ender, if you didn't notice, Louay did nominate you for being a clan Shaman, which proves two things:
1. He respects you
2. He thinks your mind is Shaman capability
So you have the oppurtunity to be Shaman, if you want to.
Ender
11-19-2004, 10:24 PM
Thank you, TB473. I appreciate it.
I did notice that I was nominated. However, I am on USEast and only play 4v4. I'm pretty good to, I win most of the time despite allies, and when I do lose, I normally am in top 3 in scores, most of the time I have highest hero score, most heroes killed, and most units killed when I lose. If it comes to being made a Shaman...all right.

I would like to apologize as well for my inappropriate behavior. We just had a communication error :cool:.
Sure, I'll gladly be a Shaman.
Ok, here's what I've got so far:
Cheiftan: cheapo5020
Shamans: Louay, tb473, Ender
Grunts: Everyone else
Now, we need two more Shamans and four official Grunts (I just put everyone else to save time), so If you think you're Shaman quality, please speak up, as we need two more.
P.S. Ender, you said you only played 4v4? You should give me some pointers, I've been meaning to start playing some team games, but the one's I have played, I lost terribly (I usually play 1v1). I'll probably start another thread.
Sure, I'll show you some replays. I'll get them organized, get a couple with each race and send them to you. Night Elf is by far my best; my Archer-Chim strat always rapes. Give me one good ally who will back me up and I'll win haha.

11-21-2004, 1:57 AM
Ok. So far, the list of people in the clan includes...

EnderWiggin
Tb473
Louay
Aika
ChunkyMunky
XTD_SeVen
p0wer.0f.ice
Ragnarox
xodkrm
darkslayer633
So far, Cheapo5020 is the chieftain, Enderwiggin, Tb473, and Louay are shamans; and the rest are grunts. There are two shaman slots currently open, but we will decide who fills those at a later date. I'll pm all of you and ask for a time we could meet on the US East/Azeroth gateway. It will probably be a few days before I get feedback from at least 10 of us.
