Conquer Club

Looking at your Gang/Clan

Over the last few months I have be talking to a few people about CC and The Clans.
Most of the people in Clans seem to only play team games with their Clan members as team mates. They become well oiled Fighting Machines. Though these teams are formed as a loose association of like minded players. They soon start Coordinating their games where one person or as a collaboration, directing the whole game advising where to place armies. In affect becoming a single player against the opposition team, who 60% of the time is made up of lower ranked players who don't Know they are playing against one player with 4 times the fire power that they have . As the younger /newer team is not in constant communication with team members on messenger or Skype they can not hope to battle on an even playing field. Not understanding the importance of what is happening around them on the map. The Clan takes the points albeit few to be shared but as any major discount store will tell you if you watch the pennies the dollars will look after them selves
So what do we know about the clans, well from the outside they spend a lot of time preaching that it is all about the Strategy and they all spend a lot of time bitching about the random dice rolls not being random enough.
‘No, it's about strategy not luck of the draw. I play a lot of strategy games and prefer to avoid the capricious nature of luck as much as possible’. .The fact is you are all just preying on the lower ranks for the points you crave. You become Obsessive, and Fixated on archiving rank and points to the point where the game is forgotten and only the achievement of rank matters refusing to play one on one or a non team event unless you have your fellow Clanies on a team to support you. “I play dubs, trips and quad games just about exclusively these days”.

I see that strategy works as a gang / Clan you can support each other, taking unfair advantage of other players who do not know you are in a clan or that you have been building your tactics and working together for months just to present as a single force against all comers but 60% of the time the other team is not another Clan/ Gang but 2,3 or 4 newer players who don't know any better.
Much the same as the school yard bully's we all hated at school . You have in fact refined it in to a fine art and convinced your selves that it is strategy

Before you all claim this is not the truth take a look at how you mount a game or should I say campaign. Before you take a move you have had several hundred hours working as a team, against a scratch team of cooks and cadets who just want to have fun. Their may be a junior officer there, is that how you justify taking the points . You say "but they joined the Game" but they thought they were playing 3 people not one .

In closing, I ask should Clans be banned ? No but they should only do battle with other Clans if the members wish to hone their skills let them do it as a player in open combat. And let them practice their team skills against Clans, fighting it out with them selves earning their Rank and points against players of equal skills / experience

You spout alot of shit

Ask most clan members what they like about clans and top of that list will probably be the clan challenges and the bragging rights that come with victory....

You dont need to be in a clan to be a well oiled fighting machine. Maybe be should stop friends, husbands and wives, and families from playing together.

Ive met alot of players by chance on this site and we have instantly clicked and they arent in my clan. Are you going to stop me from playing with them as well?

Don't be so ridiculous.

IT IS MY OPINION THAT TEAMS NEED TO BE WELL OILED TO HAVE A GOOD CHANCE AGAINST OTHER HIGH RANKED TEAMS.

nah, I'm in a clan and I play team games with anyone

Agree - Clans are bad - ban teh multi's - burn the witch.

Hmmm - Now where did I put that clan application form...

C.

i have played more often against my clan members than together with them^^

Bullshit, let's bash some low ranks together like we often do!

hehe, the lowest rank we have ever played against as a team is a major Frop , check the Game Finder
and we will never be in a strong clan if we always steal points from our low rank clan members like jiminski or firstholliday

Messengers don´t help a lot, everybody can use Gamechat, push your teammates to do so, and you have equal chances @mumbles
I have tried it, set up some games and played with random teammates. I had some really great games, only a few times people didn´t cooperate.

THANK YOU FOR THAT INTELLIGENT AND HELPFUL COMMENT.

IT IS JUST A SHAME THAT I WAS NOT ABLE TO HEAR YOU FROM WHERE I WAS SITTING BECAUSE THE NOISE OF THE INTERNET WAS SO FUCKING LOUD.

PERHAPS YOU COULD TRY AGAIN, BUT THIS TIME A LITTLE LOUDER?

one of my favorite teammates is not in my clan. my rank isn't high. half the time, we set up games and anybody is able to join, so we don't only play low rank. because of time zones, schedules, and just not having some people's msn/skype, i use game chat more often than not lately.

I guess that if I still only had 1000 points after 400+ games then I would also be tempted to blame everything and everybody rather than myself.

ok i think i might be one of the biggest team players here..90% of my games are team games..and so most will know i have almost 3900 games played. i have been here longer then most and have seen people come and go i have been to the top more then 1 time and have droped just as quick. but i can say this...the guy that wrote this u should try to get into the stach wackers clan...THEY WINE AND BITCH ABOUT STUPID STUFF LIEK THIS ALL THE TIME..ULL BE PERFECT FOR THEM. clans are ment for team play or bragging rights. and justgood fun with players u respect.. i do help less expierance players at team games..how else are they to get better? by watching idiots play 1 vs 1 games all the time...by watching other peoples games and not knowing what there saying in chat..comeone guy..and so what if lower ranked players join..not mine..they joined my games..there problem..and trust me..noobs arent always the push overs u think..why do u think im at a sgt.

YOU CLEARLY DIDN'T HEAR ME!!!

I SAID THAT IT WAS THE INTERNET THAT WAS LOUD, NOT YOUR EGO. YOU INSANELY DULL, RANK-PULLING, BORE.
DO I LOOK LIKE THE KIND OF MAN WHO GIVES A FLYING f*ck WHAT MY RANK IS AT SOME ONLINE STRATEGY-GAME THAT I HAVEN'T PLAYED MORE THAN ONE GAME OF IN THE LAST COUPLE OF MONTHS?

THE ANSWER, TO SAVE YOU WHAT I IMAGINE WOULD OTHERWISE BE A RATHER LENGTHY PERIOD OF CONTEMPLATION TIME, IS NO.

it´s the truth, Frop and me have never played a team game against you. Don´t believe our queen, she tries to irritate you

btw, a lot of people join against high rank players because they want a good challenge, if you don´t believe it, check my team games i play on team 2 .... you won´t find a lot of low ranks in team 1.

If you manage to communicate with your team, you will be fine.

This is one of the funniest threads I've seen in a while. The OP seems to think that if a team is really good, they shouldn't be allowed to play together any more. That's makes as much sense as telling someone they can't play 6-8 player escalating games, because they've had too much practice, and are too good at it.

clans are cool i just wouldnt play agaist them

anyone wanna give me a quick rundown, it was too long. i assume he is saying that people who know each other like people in clans cant play together once they are good...

ah well we all needed a good laugh today...

Here's a question. Why is anyone bothering to defend clans against this dumbass? You nailed it buddy, clans are evil. You really don't even know the half of it. Two words: human sacrifice. It's far scarier than you could even begin to imagine. Carry on.

You wanna know a fun drinking game? You pound a shot every time Jack Bauer yells, "You need to trust me on this!" You'll be drunk in no time.

Oh, and please try to stay on topic. This is not about terrorism, this is about human sacrifice. Don't make me get the mods involved.

Don't be ridiculous, it's clearly a thread about freedom-fighters.
