what i made was an avatar

EDIT:101th user to post.(currently working on quiz)

... somebody say something about the FUCKING clans already...!

oh sorry! well i thaght that everyone was doing there thing in the clan like getting prepared or stuff... i was thinking also witch clan i should join and i made my choice...

of course it will be the Black Dragon!.... right?...hmmm....RIGHT??!

Ok Ok Ok!!!Where the FUCK is preditor with those test scores hmm??

The people he's waiting on probably haven't finished it yet, and they're being given the time to do that. Shouldn't be too much rushing, IMO. Thing will advance eventually.

patience is the key.

IM BOS

....OHHH Mr. PREDATOR ??!!

is somebody out there?

*lights a flare*

*walks a bit*

*heards the sound of wind, and sences emptyness everywhere around*

...damn, i guess this thread was consumed by Eternal Oblivion...

shit, i liked the clan database idea..

Alright everyone, lets get things moving along a little more.... Here are the test scores. You'll find most of them are pretty high, and are pretty similar:

1. Nightcrow: Black Dragon

Score: 16/20

2. LeoBrZ81: Special Forces(OWA)

Score: 20/20

3. PumkinKing93: Clerics of Chaos

Score: 18/20

4. LiuKangFighter: Order of Light

Score:

5. GrotesquetheBeast: Black Dragon

Score: 18/20

6. Mkflegend: Elementals

Score:

7. Sharpeye: Lin Kuei

Score: 16/20

8. Kidkombatant: Brotherhood of the Shadow

Score: 19/20


O.k. The ones that don't have a grade, I must not have a test from you. Whether sent through the Pm system to me, or posted up in here as I saved them and then erased. At any rate, the current quiz is still available to you until the first clan thread is made......

For purposes of "proof" I'm gonna hold on to the quiz answers for a little while longer.....then I'll just erase them.

Fun fact, just fyi: We had one copycat, lol. I don't know who copied who, but it's pretty undeniable when they're worded exactly the same for more than one question...haha....oh well.

i sent mine for the brotherhood..of course

Alrighty then....I'll get it edited in there...

;-; ... were my orgasmic answers stolen? I worked so hard... *depression*

Nice to see we're moving along. Hopefully those who haven't given us the ticket to make a leap forward (test answers) will present those ASAP >= O!

when we get all the test answers lets get this bitch a rollin'.Mabye even get it stickied,hell it took us about 5 pages to prepare!Lets do this thing.

will the person who copied be disqualified?

"Orgasmic"!?! Lol! That....was nice. But no, not yours.



Whoa, pump your brakes..heh



Nah, not that deep. I have something in mind however. That later.

_____________________________________

Right now, I wanna open the floor to ideas for a couple of things before we declare our leaders and have them open their own threads.

1. How will you as a leader, handle new recruits?

My take on this is to let them come to you. Pure and simple.
The only "advertising" for your clan should come through the userbars or sigs in your sig space. The cooler your art looks, the more enticing it will be.
This means for you leaders....
TRY AND KEEP THE SAME ART FOR LONGER STINTS OF TIME

People won't recognize you as the leader if you keep changing your stuff every-hour/day/week (at least keep the same avatar...like me or MineOut, or Mkflegend for example. Go request one really cool one now before the clan threads open or something.).....
And then too, it might depend on the clan you are a part of. For instance, it might make sense for an MkO user like "SweetTooth", who was once known as "Redman" to be a part of the Zaterrian clan/race. (chameleons "change alot....like he does with his sigs and avatars. lol ....please don't start doing that, you'll get on alot of peoples nerves like he has about it.)

Anyway,

Once that takes place, I think a good way to go is a small(-er) test like the one you all just took. You make up the questions, you can use some of the ones I put together...there is no shame about it. But they are there to make sure that they will represent your clan correctly on the forums. Make sure they know how to edit their post, make images show up. Make sure they know the rules that you know. So essentially, you're making a better quality user by welcoming recruits into your clan.

Not only all of this stuff^^, but you might want to throw in a couple questions to test the knowledge of the person about your clan. Basic info or something, so you gotta know your stuff Leaders......

A few of you saw me make a mistake within that previous Black Dragon thread right? Remember? Doesn't make me "disqualified" for that clan but, I would have to learn a few things before I could be decreed a member and get my "representation" (badges or banners, avatar, signature, and or userbar)....and I would have to be tested on them based on the cannon info in the games.

After that, maybe some small "ceremony" or "blessing" would happen. Then the new recruit will get their userbars and all that(doing it this way, I think will add something for the person to "boast" about, or "be proud of" for being a part of your clan...see what I mean? Don't just give them everything right away, make them do a little work for it)
....Maybe then after they pass your test(s), and you have figured out their strengths(maybe they can make the sigs and stuff for your clan....maybe they're into story stuff like Leo or XD84), I can come through there and christen the decree with a dp or two. Much like what happens over in the Introduction forum for new people to the site....idk.

The rule that dis-allows "clan hopping" becomes that much more relevant too because, you don't want that "dp whore" skipping around just to get dps. See what I mean?


What do you think?


2. Police yourselves:

An element is here that I wanna address. All the clan leaders have to be "friendly" aside the clan differences(at lease to a considerable dregree). You leaders have to be able to talk amongst each other and approve together whether a member can:

a. come into your clan in the first place
b. leave your clan, and or go to another clan
c. who should be "banned" or axed from all the clans further activities for violations.

You guys are going to have to know who is in your clan, and be able to let the next leader know if someone took all their "representation" off and tried to hop over to another clan. Some people might even go as far as getting their MkO user name changed so they can be in one of the other clans....we'll just deal with those as they come though.

Maybe as the thread masters...you guys can list all your members in the starter post or something? You might even devulge some sort of point system to graduate or decline a member in the ranks? Idk, leave that to you.

Where you come and get me at, is when someone violates the site rules. This could//should usually mean that this person is "banned" from all the clans altogether. I figure, if the person keeps getting skulls all over the site, they won't be a member of your clan long anyway....mind as well trim the fat.


3. What kinds of competitions do you see?

Now, be careful here because you can very easily violate the rules of the site.

Mostly what I see are Art competitions, or short Fan Fictions.

Art competitions like "Sig of the Week(SoTw)" where, the artists of your clan compete against another. Winning points for their clan over time.

Fan Fictions that take us through the past present and future of the clans. The "competition" in these, is that there might be a time limit,? and whichever clan has the most points for a better told story throughout...wins their whole clan dps. Ha!!.... This could work for the SoTw idea too.

I'd like to give rewards like this someday...but only if it is organized amongst the leaders correctly. Yes, you guys have to get together and "declare war"...let all of your clansmen know what, when, where, and how (use that starter post).

I need your input here to see if there are any other avenues we could travel the way of "civil competition".

Predy, Predy Predy... i love you. you awake hidden fealings of mine

ehehe just screwing arround

LoL! Yes, that's right, I said orgasmic. It's a beautiful adjective, the apex of something that is good.

or·gas·mic, or·gas·tic, adjective
1. a trademark of Leo's vocabulary describing something that exceeds all other commonly-used, positive adjectives. The climax (no pun intended) of good things in life.
"Leo is an orgasmic entity."

Make sure to cite my name when you wish to use it, Pred ^_^ !!

Anyway,

I read your last post carefully and have made a note to address all that you brought up. I'm going to get together with a friend who's helping me come up with some unique ideas, and once I have concrete thoughts and opinions (shouldn't be long before I do), I'll post them here, share what I can with everyone else to see if they like it, and also ask for your input.

I do have a question before I start all my "plotting", BTW:



I'm confused about what you mean when you say "winning points for their clan over time" and "whichever clan has the most points for a better told story thoughtout wins their whole clan dps". What is this "Points for the Clan" idea? Is it something the clan leader gives out, or something YOU will give out to the clan as a whole?

And I'm completely thrown off by the "Clan DP" idea and the "Taking the whole clan's DP" statement. Can I get a little light shed in here? lol

will there be one leader per clan or can Nightcrow and I go back to being co-Grandmasters?

still lost

I Win Cant-Touch-This-Ality


da-na-na-na...etc......etc.
i was playing around with the stuff

Hm...Well, let me specify a little....

The only fair way I could figure to give an efficient reward for group activities such as our future clan competitions....is to give dps to the person(s) who participated in the activity.

I guess that kinda makes the statement "the whole clan" kinda vague I guess, so I'm glad you asked that question.

In that kind of situation, I realize that we may at times, have every active member of a clan participating in that kind of activity. This would be the case for say the "Clan Fan Fic". Because everybody will be sharing their knowledge of the same story at the same time, but from different points of view.

The "points" that I was talking about could be tallied by me, but could also be agreed upon to be tallied by the Clan Leaders who have their clans involved in the battle(or some clan leader that is not involved, to make things "unbiased".....like having "leader duty" or whatever for that particular competition). That way, I can do my part...and you guys get to "lead-while-participating in the competition".

"Points" could be given for the same reasons you get dps for, according to the regular site conditions. I.E., constructive, very insightful post that contribute to the threads made specifically for those competitions.

We need an example. Okay, for instance take the Zaterrean Clan and Shao Kahn's Assassins. Story wise , it makes sense for them to compete, but this ex. is just for the sake of my explanation. Anyway... :

Say we're making up a story of the events previous to Shao Kahns invasion and the massacre of the Reptilians.....

The only way I'd see this idea working is if each clan contributed to the story individually, but back and forth some way. Then, at the end of every page, someone(me, or some of the clan leaders) goes through the page and tallies up points based on how interesting the story got, and where the "twist" happens, or how much of the cannon information stayed in the story through out the Fan fic. ect.....

The limitation would be a dead-line set at the beginning of the competition. To where the story would have to end....regardless of the "last post" in that competitions thread. At the end of this time limit, the points, according to whoever was tallying, would be added up, and whoever had more "points" would get their clan a general award = Dps from me to everyone who participated constructively. Probably just one or two dps for being a part of a civil competition.

um....let me know If I missed something...gotta run...




It's fine with each clan having two, maybe even three leaders. But it really depends on how big your clan is.

so...each clan will have its own story thats crosses with other clans stories?

that would be nice
