How do clans work and are there any in Ireland

TheDuke

Hi guys,

I do allot of online gaming (although I can't really afford the time with a young family, job, etc. – but hey, it’s an addiction and gaming must always come first).

Are there any clans and clan sites around? I am getting a little bored with the “anonymous” game bashing and would like to start playing with (or against) a set clan.

Is there anything out there on Irish soil? Or does a clan work on a non geographic basis? I’ve never really looked in to it… please advise.

saik

depends on what you are playing really.
first stop is www.mirc.com download that, and connect to quakenet. irish gamers are generally found on channel #quake.ie #fortress.ie , the fortress.ie crowd will play anything. www.quake.ie is a community site for quakers. i dunno if something similar exists for cs.

there's 4 clans in quake at the moment. fh, fisheads, 70, nD - na Daghda, and jobos.

www.quake.ie/70 channel #70
www.quake.ie/fh chan #fh
www.quake.ie/nd chan #nd (full of swedes)
www.quake.ie/jobos (i think) chan #jobos (full of banjos)

To answer your question on how they work.

I play UT so ill use that as an example.

There are leagues which usually contain divisions with x amount in each division.
Each clan plays eachother once on 2 set maps and get points for each map.
If you play ctf it would be something like 5v5 over 20mins and most caps wins or if a draw points are shared.
TDM is err 4v4 or something and most frags wins (total team frags.) Again over 20mins.

Erm clansdiffer greatly. Some are very competitive while some play mainly for the fun of it. Whichever it is, a clan usually has a leader(s) who trial potential members. If its a competitive clan ull be judged on your skill and if its a fun clan usually on what kinda person you are and how much fun you bring etc.

Leaders usually pick the players for each game.

Team sizes+time limits may differ from game to game etc.

Your best bet is to play your game of choice on irish servers.

Check the cs ,half-life, quake and UT forums and there will be a stucky concerning servers for these games (Half life includes TFC, NS and DoD).

As has been said its a good idea to aquaint yourself with IRC as thats where most clans hang out.

Dont be at yourself

All clans are really shit though, except for one: the mighty Really Strange Tempo.
