I didn't realize how many people are in "Clans" that have a leader and rank up on the basis of how well you play. Just to give me (and anyone else interested) how many people are either in a Gaming Clan or know someone who is.

Also what do you call yourselves?

Clan?

Is this an MMO thing?

Dang...was thinking battle clan....I'm for Star Adders...but that wasn't the question.

I was another "clan" entirely.

No like 10 people meet up at a lgs and have a "clan meeting" and talk about up coming warhammer 40k games and things like that. i never knew people did this with table top games.


maybe clan was a bad name to use, but group of people that call them self's something...like a biker gang but with 40k or any TT game.

Yea about that... getting together for a "clan meeting"...yea you might think about that term a little.

Whatever you do no cool club white hats!

nice slip in on that lol

We have ranks in my clan, I'm a grand wizard.

Remember don't let your clan colors touch the ground!

I have never been a member of the Klan.

you never been in a klan?...never lite any Plus signs in someone front yard?

Not so much as a pointed hat.

So like, do rival wargaming gangs sometimes meet up for a 'rumble'?

Not sure about wargamers... certainly video gamers... some get paid a fair amount, most don't.

Following on from Albatross' initial though: Is anybody interested in producing a wargame version of West Side Story?

We could call it Sweat Stain Story. The Neck(beard)s and The... erm... Shar... Sha...Sharts? I'm not the detail man...

yea they do...that's how i found out about it...At out lgs theirs 6 vs 6 in a Apocalypse match...kinda a cool game set up...but they were mad at each other like a rival gang fight of nerds...it was awesome.

there game plan was last man standing, so last model on the table that side wins
first turn roll for reserve and enter on a 6+...2nd turn was 6+...then 3rd and 4th was 5+ and so on for every 2 turns dropped rolls by 1 till everyone is deployed and dead.

they had matching shirts too, should have taken a pic

Im in a wow guild, but no clans.

I play SM online, and gak like Skyrim and that, but clans seem kinda pointless in shoot-em ups because... Well, I dunno they just do.

On MMOs you join a guild because you have to in order to do end game content like 25 man dungeons, and we use Ventrillo and speak to each other while we play as it is essential for some of the harder content, whereas on things like BF3 or Team fortress or SM multiplayer or whatnot I just tend to log on and shoot stuff for a half hour, so the clan thing seems a bit pointless.

..." I feel gritty...oh so gritty...my man titties have not seen soap in Daaaays...and I pity... anyone ...who must play me... today...Lalalalala.la...lalalala."

Yeah...I'm doing the music for this one.

Yea i see it for video games...but i never heard of this for table top games until the other day

I'd be down for that, though I'm think more 'Droogs' than musical theatre, to be fair.

Those diceywice are loaded you rotgobbled tisnate!

This one works perfectly...

Ho, ho, ho! Well, if it isn't fat stinking billy goat Billy Boy in poison! How art thou, thou globby bottle of cheap, stinking chip oil? Come and get one in the yarbles, if ya have any yarbles, you eunuch jelly thou!

I haven't heard it called a "Clan" for a long time. Guild is what they started to call it since the days of WoW.

I was in WKYA (Will Kick Your Ass) on Mplayer for a game called Blood. It was fantastic.

Then Tribes came out and I was a member of FOG and another clan I forget their name now. Tribes was sweet.

Then during my Counter-Strike & Day of Defeat days I was in LC (Lincoln Coalition), and CC (Cavity Creeps).

Was in a number of WoW Guilds and now I just don't play online games as much as I used to. It takes too much time especially MMO's and being in guild you're required to do things and I just wanna plug and play and drop out when I'm done without any outside pressures.

Uhm...yeah...my family is in a clan...but its one that tends to wear those plaited skirts...

If this is for video games, then Dropshock Brigade (halo clan), Private First Class. I was, anyway. THE most professional clan I've ever seen.

If not for video games, then, uh, no.

Uh...I'm part of a clan...but I guess it means a different thing here in Scotland. Youknow, all kilts and céilidhs. But yeah, we have about the same thing going on at my wargaming club as well...so maybe I am part of a "clan" too?
