Before ahead this topic, I served for no rely/allies/enter/being a part of/participate/support/object/agree or disagree on any clans. Not any. Even the [R] which served for save Pb2 from dead. Before people are going to comment such as "this feature relies on XXX clan which they will taking advantage against others" "this feature provides imbalance" "you are looking down on the clans which has xx people or how weak/strong this clan was" "the old clan system isn't work that way" "no clan system please" or others, please give a moment to read this megathread message, and I would like to have some critical feedback which is constructive and improve the whole thing.
Also, some part of the points are being discussed with some admins/moderators, and since we are agree on/ still discussion on them, I will arranged all request from clan, the feature, the websites, etc to make this whole clan system blueprint work as horny bees.
ok, stop those boring af messages, let's get straight into the topic.
.: How does the clan system really works. :.
by a guy who loves digging history of old clans and discuss with others games. (silently...
Introduction.
For the nowadays society, we have a bunch of people who had their own society and have their own minds. That's the reason why people in same community (PB2) have conflicts, the willing to eliminate the others who oppose you. This moment is reasonable cuz they have the will to express their needs. Meanwhile, some people would like to have much clearer/ same aim to build their own clan. This is the better way to say so (such as revivalists clan which is served to save the falling PB2, GMC which is served to host some good forum games and MMC which is helpful for beginner map makings.) but for now, developer once said that all the clans are considered "informal" "not official" and even some rumors said that forming a clan is "illegal". But today, by far I had too much time to spare (uhh) and have the wish to build up the clan for mostly for PL matches and community purpose, so I had to write the whole "blueprints" for how to construct a good clan.
How to define a "clan" ?
Well, it is not complicated to define, but it may some conflicts to explain it out. Throughout every clan "define and themes", not hardly to see some of the clans are not even "clans", more likely into "cults". (need example? I don't think so) based on the wikipedia, a clan is defined as "A clan is a group of people united by actual or perceived kinship and descent." for simple, it is an organized, fully constructed, have plans and aims team which people will cooperate together to reach their same aims. But for now, I don't see some new coming clans are serving on in terms on that definitions so I think we had to fix that.
The biggest reason for those low quality "clans" (some of the clans I don't even think they are really the "clans") are anarchy communities. They roam for their fun, and ignoring the rules for biggest out there (yes, I had saw some clans use the "breaking rules" "n-word passes" as their advertisement, which is quite a bad moves). So by constructing a proper and complete "clan system", we will have good reasons to let them roam, fight each other in our controllable area. The another reason is "the pb2 rules are not even applied to others, such as website nuking. This one is slightly complicated, but I am suprised that they are going to host a website just for this not-so-famous game, which is touchful to my opinion.
What does a clan needs to contribute PB2?
Good question. From now we will halved the clans into 2 parts, which is "PvP based clans" and "Serving purpose clans".
From most games (I mean minecraft, Rainbow 6 siege, Cs-go, etc), most of the clans are likely to PvP based clans. So I will be more focused on how the PvP based clans works, rather than serving purposing clans, I won't be touching them too much for that. (cuz if I really want to talk about that it would be a whole page long).
Ok, get started.
Now people are asking me, so how would you like to wish for the clans to be registered as official clans? Here's some my blueprints (with others commenting or constructive decisions) in order to build the clans.
Here's how:
If your faction is incapable of following any of the terms below, it will be instantly denied. All factions must be able to follow and respect them, unless you plan on being disbanded. You need a faction lore abiding to the following terms to qualify:
- The lore should clearly specify the story of your clan, battle history or anything else which you think it should be official history of PB2.
- The lore needs to be minimum 3 paragraphs long (Setting your font size bigger won’t make it longer).
- The lore cannot interfere with another faction’s lore, unless all involved parties have discussed and agreed on it.
- The lore must be finished, any lore which isn't fully finished will be denied.
- Grammar must be good.
- Your faction needs at least 5 members which their site level is at least level 10, with discord acc, including clear role (founder? member? newbie? trials?)
- Your faction needs a decent logo, not taken off from the internet.
- You cannot claim an existing faction.
- no cross-clans. If someone likes to have both clans, just make an alliance.
- clan leader must at least level 50 in order to form a new clan.
- each time you are forming a new clan, you had to pay specific amount of exp to build official clans.
- then submit the form as below to (forum or sites had to be declared)
- Code: Select all
Clan name:
Clan logo:
Clan theme:
Clan leader:
Clan lore:
Members: (and assign the classes beside their name, in format (username, member?)
Classes (at least 3): I would recommend have the classes standalized, but what classes is going to be is needed to further discussions.
Waiver: yes or no decisions.
after this program was introduced, any other clan which isn't registered are considered unofficial clans thus can't participate in further PL pvp matches competitions.
How does the appeal process work?
After posting your lore to appeal at {#InsertChannelHere}, then, system will auto detect that if clan leader exp is 50 levels or above, or the members is 10 levels or above. If so, you need to wait 48 hours. Our staff check the channel daily, so be patient.
and we will have 3 emojies to stat the progress:
- Code: Select all
no emoji: staff haven't been through yet.
:exclamation: : we are still reviewing yet.
:green_tick: your faction is approved.
:red_tick: your faction is disapproved in either reason at above. You must wait for 2 weeks before retrying.
What happens after being accepted?
You will receive a DM stating that your faction has been accepted. After the data is assigned completely, you will be going to a clan page. We will going to clan page details later.
at clan page steps, you are still haven't declared as a formal/official clan. You had to complete the others in order to verify it. You had a week to complete the others settings or else your clan will get disbanded.
Official factions maybe (not guaranteed) will have some special perks in-game and the Discord server.
Clan pages
we could start from thislink, and this is currently my apply for the proper clan site:
And below there is clan approved maps and self-added base maps which is used as "conquering maps", but base maps is still need to be under discussion.In the other hand, we are desperately hoped that the clan can even produce a promoting video to let people join the clan, this is good enough though.
Not only that, introductions and clan rules are needed to apply to clan pages. This is important.
How do i join a clan?
It's easy, press the apply button, then directly into clan leader message, as same as sending friend request, done.
also, clan leader can ask the formats (username? kdr? where are you?) for easier judgement.
Clan wars~
Option 1: referring this thread and this thread
Option 2: Basically Team Deathmatch to 60 points , winner side takes the map. Conquered maps will show like "Map is conquered by Onion Clan.". "but what if clan go afk for 1001 years?" Well , maps are getting less conquered. If clan don't accept 3 wars on this map , or is inactive for a month , map are getting non-conquered.
Option 3: (my idea, finally)
Make the clan can have their glory using the PL program, and introduce Veto map banning style with some objectives, winner on each match gets a point, then we would start using single/double elimination method, or robin if you really like. Then each clan who had the highest point proceed to next level and wins the tournament.
But for those 3 ideas, all of them are pointing to a same problem, which is spectate mode in server.
For successing one of 3 ideas, making some people can spectate like as high power as rainbow 6 siege is much important to stream, control cameras, etc. Then promoting PB2, profit.
also, the scoreboard would become this:
Summary.
A) How would you become a good clan?
1. Leadership Skills
2. Battle Skills
3. Patience
4. Strategies
5. Peaceful/Kind/Respectful Attitude
6. Website and chats
B) Follow the new rules, build your own clan page.
C) participate in PL events to get official glory.
D) Repeat.
Q&A zone
Q: I want to build a clan, but I didn't have sufficient members....
A: Then how about forming a "cult"? the cult can be apply like current how clan is made, but you just can't participate in clan events, or being official clans that would get promoted by sites. But, rules still applies.
Q: What happens if these clan battles turn into straight up site nuking and such, is there a system to ban the clan from PB2 and/or the hub?
A: So that's why I decided to recommend a site clan page. So if your clan website outside is nuked, not our business. Instead you can going to sue a lawyer to sue the guy who is responsible for nuking your website. If you are afraid that your website security is too weak or being nuked, use site clan page instead.
Q: Accordingly, who's in charge of this clan page? I know that Staff wants and has NOTHING to do with clans right now. It's basically like an extension from PB2 with no limits. Clans can literally do what they want if you haven't noticed, staff are powerless on that side of things.
A: clan leaders or co-ldr is in charge on their clan page.
N-words of the site is already auto-censored so no worries about that
If you saw that clan is acting suspiciously, report to the staff.
Q: The Clans Forum was removed recently, due to clan drama, clan wars and yeah...
A: What kind of drama? some "spy" acting in your clan and ruins everything? Sure. This is going to be fun.
If you can't even manage your members nicely, your clan won't be even to be a successful clan.
Q: so... is it still needed to add a tag on my nickname...
A: If the game site is possible, they can add the tag to you already. Only if you want to show off that you are commander or higher ranks of that clan and being rekted by others, sure.
Any other questions or constructive critics are welcomed. Thanks for reading this long-post.
