how about you go beat it.

For the sole purpose of not needing to post detailed text, which is a result of our laziness, we invented TCDs. Thread Contol Devices.

Ohm'ed stands for clans who seek members, but fail to give appealing or complete information

Welcome to the insanity known as PuF. Resistance is futile!

I think they were expecting info like: We're an American based clan. or all Aussie clan etc... maybe say that it's a CTF clan or TDM or mixed, bla bla bla, and that you're a bunch of cool people who play cause it's fun, yaddi yada yada....
But, I could be wrong, cause that's not relevant info, is it?

Dedicated to UT? Some of us may have lives you know and can't be dedicated to a game

Actually, cryco, those are examples of extremely relevant information when advertising for a clan or mod project.

The "OHMed" Thread Control Device (TCD) was originally created in response to a large influx of threads advertising for clans, mod projects or web pages which consist of little more than "Join our l33t group".

An advert like that helps no one one distinquish why your clan should be chosen over any other out there. It basically says that you're just another random grouping of people. When advertising a new group, include as much information as possible that will both identify the type of people who would fit in with the clan's core concept (ie "People from the western coast of North America, with a primary concentration on CTF and Team Deathmatch") as well as any clan attributes that will help your organization stand out from the non-descript variety (ie "We plan on having fun through a serious attitude towards winning"). Additionally, include how much time is expected of potential members (ie "We will have an hour of practice on Mondays and Wednesdays, with a couple hours of clan-on-clan play on Saturday evenings").

More information is better for you and for us as well.

Normally, we try to inlcude a link to the TCD Explanations along side the use of one, but that one must have slipped through.

I am already in a clan, but welcome to the Planetunreal Forums, otherwise known as PuF. Good luck with your recruiting.

If you get enough for a scrim, please find me at irc.enterthegame.com channel #LoL.

My clan does CTF and TDM. I am currently trying to get some TDM scrims set up but I could probably get a CTF going as well. Just for fun and practice, no egos or trashtalking.

Once again, welcome and good luck with the clan.

It's be nice to also know what you guys mainly play ie CTF or DOM etc. Goodluck on recruiting

Clan Deviate

Well, to elaborate on [DV8]MXs's reply, we mainly specialize in DM and TDM. Once we get enough members going, we might explore Domination and CTF. I was just wondering if there are any good ways on how to recruit ppl.

Thanks in advance,
Tiger

Good ways to recruit people? Sure. Just read this Clan Recruiting How- To article. Then do the exact opposite.

Hehe...

I'll do that, thanks

I would have done that, but in my unbelievable dumbness, I didn't know the url for the new TCD museum

One of the problems you blokes might run into is the fact that most "dedicated" players (those that take the game seriously and are willing to put several hours into clan practice) are going to seek out "dedicated" clans that have been around for a while and have some standing in the leagues that they want to participate in.

Think of it this way: If you were a good athlete, and you had your choice of trying out for a team that's been around, won a championship or two, and generally does well, or a new startup clan which is unproven and may not even be around next week, which would you choose?

So, my first piece of advice would be to concentrate on getting a clan established first, before you make it a "dedicated" clan. The number of people available in the pool aren't quite as willing to spend large amounts of time practicing, so I would limit the required practice times until your clan actually has enough members to sustain itself.
