Friends List, Clans, and Tweaks

I have three (3) main suggestions. First of all, Make a friends list. This way you know who is online, what games they are in, etc. Second, let us make clans. How this is done is left up to the programmers. Third, let the host of a game cancel the game or make a majority rule where if the majority of players want to kill the game because people arn't playing, they can.

1. Friends List (Already on the to-do list)

2. Clans (Clans are already possible, but we are holding off on adding any new usergroups until phpBB Rivals is released. Feel free to start your own in callouts. You can see the majority of clans by clicking the usergroup button in the upper-right part of the forum.)

3. Canceling games (This has already been rejected.)

Overall summary: I see that you're new and that you just joined today, but please check the to-do list sticky at the top of the Suggestions Forum before posting a new suggestion. Other than that, welcome to the site!

That's the team who programmed the forum code. They're releasing a new one, and lack doesn't want to accept usergroups until they do.

There has been a lot of talk about clans. What are the clans? What do they do? What are the adcantages and disadvantages in joining a clan? I'm kinda embarrases because I've been hear for a full 2 months and still haven't asked this. :oops:

Clans are a group of people with there own, private forum, and they generally talk about topics of interest amongst themselves, and create games in there forum.

I originally joined a clan because I was sick of getting deadbeats as partners in team games, and the clan I joined was full of active and relatively strategic players. But yeah, you also get your own forum and when Rivals comes out there's gonna be a whole bunch of cool stuff for registered clans. :wink:

If I join a clan is there a serious commitment to them do i basically have to play all games with them. And if I have a frind that goes into another clan would I be able to switch clans.

No commitment (really). You can be in multiple clans (I am in two).

Though if you join a clan and are not active in it, they may kick you out. I would recommend joining the RORF as it always has games going, and there are difficult requirements to join.

Clans are just for fun around here. Some of them have rules, but others allow you to join multiple clans if you want to. Some clans aren't really clans, but are groups that have a common interest here at CC (Gridiron Gang - people who like football).

Anyway, the best way to find out is to ask around. If you click the usergroup tab in the upper-right of the forum, you can PM some of the clan leaders and ask for info.

Edit: hecter, you keep quoting somebody that posts right above you and it makes you look stupid. :wink:

There are difficult requirements to jion the regoing of risk fans. If there isn't really a downside I guess I'll try to join one.

Are not difficult requirements to join. I think you need to meet one of three, one of which is completing 25 games. I KNOW you fit the requirements. So just click Usergroups at the top of the forum page and join

I PMed the mod of RORF but I'll take your word that the requirements aren't that strict so I think I'll join.

Oh Iceman, I noticed that you were the mod for tournaments. May I ask what the point of tournaments are? Do you get anything if you win them?

Some tournaments offer a free premium membership to the winner, but most of the time all you win is respect.

CC is looking into hosting official tournaments with trophies or badges that you can have in your profile to show off with though. :wink:

Risktaker17 · Post by **Risktaker17** » Fri May 25, 2007 11:01 pm

Sweet what tournaments give free premium. I wanna look into that. How many games do you need free to enter a tournament 1,2,3,4? Anyway I'm a big fan of that badge idea.

AK_iceman · Post by **AK_iceman** » Fri May 25, 2007 11:06 pm

Most tournaments are open to everyone, first come first serve. Some have rank requirements such as... (Must be minimum of captain to join) and others (You must be from a certain country). All the tourney details will be in the first post of the thread, so check there first.

Free Premium Tourney hosted by wacicha is giving away a free premium, but its already full.

Risktaker17 · Post by **Risktaker17** » Fri May 25, 2007 11:09 pm

Well, can you give me a heads up when a free premium tournament opens up? But how many games do you need opwn to join a tournament. Does it depend on the tournament?

AK_iceman · Post by **AK_iceman** » Fri May 25, 2007 11:10 pm

Yeah, it depends on the tournament.

ok thanks

Iceman this may be completely off-topic for this topic but what is the hierarchy of the CC people. I know that Lack is at the top but how powerful is everybody else.

Well... all I can say is this, don't mess with the Iceman. He's capable of making sure you'll only hit 1's and 2's with the dice if you annoy him.

I'm not trying to annoy him I'm just curious. Does he have the power to give me bad dice? I thought that was all done on random.org.
But I could be wrong. Iceman if I'm bothering sorry and I'll stop but I didn't think I was.

Lack- webmster

wicked, AK_iceman, moz976 and Andy Dufresne- mods (more or less the same as lack, except for the programming- i think)

Death To All- can make battle royales

sully800, Fireside Poet and Master Bush- multi hunters
