- [20:03:22] <TheGrandmaster> sup
- [20:03:56] <DE> SallyTheButcher so yeh please in your own time. What do you think of the current subsection and small clans system?
- [20:04:00] <DE> and the clan council?

- [20:07:24] <Silnius> Sally Sally Sally Sally !! ♫ ♫
- [20:07:27] <danhezee> ^ technically DE wrote the link I posted. I copy pasta'd it for red name tag effect
- [20:07:48] <danhezee> wrote the post in the link*
- [20:07:52] <SallyTheButcher> I think what is in place now has surved it's purpose and has kept things tidy well, however I think there could be a significant shake up to the whole way of thinking in terms of clans
- [20:08:24] <DE> SallyTheButcher, okay. intresting. Any ideas about what kind of shake up? notihng solid, but just any general ideas
- [20:08:30] <danhezee> Do tell?
- [20:08:36] <DE> nothing* grr
- [20:08:54] <SallyTheButcher> I get there's a clan council I believe their function is to judge other clans to be worthy of joining them as well as voting on various other stuff
- [20:09:13] <DE> SallyTheButcher and furthermore what do you think of this new clan council proposel? since the current one is not functioning well. http://ace-spades.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=63&t=

- [20:09:25] <SallyTheButcher> I think each clan should govern itself in its own right in its own environment
- [20:09:37] <Frosty> ...
- [20:09:40] <SallyTheButcher> This would encourage stronger individual identity
- [20:09:47] *** SneakyMobile ([email protected]
- ) has joined #thebastion
- [20:09:50] <Frosty> Don't we have this already?
- [20:09:52] <DE> SallyTheButcher, and seperate the weak from the strong alot faster I suppose
- [20:10:00] *** DE sets mode: +v SneakyMobile
- [20:10:17] <SallyTheButcher> I don't understand why individulas would govern other clans
- [20:10:24] <SallyTheButcher> and judge their worth
- [20:10:26] <Silnius> Ok SallyTheButcher , but maybe aos still need section on forum, or like little seciton to contact clan for match and recruitment. Because if any player come on forum, he will see what are clans on aos
- [20:10:27] <DE> SallyTheButcher ill explain
- [20:10:42] <DE> most clans fail. they have a 90% fail rate and turn into random threads full of spam and rubbish
- [20:10:53] <Tin|AWAY> ^
- [20:10:55] <Frosty> ^
- [20:10:55] <SallyTheButcher> they would always have forum representation in some form or another this much is essential
- [20:10:56] *** Tin|AWAY is now known as Tin-
- [20:10:58] <DE> why would we wan to give a subsection to a clan that turns out like that?
- [20:11:08] <DE> thats where the council comes in
- [20:11:09] <SallyTheButcher> for exactly the reasons you mentioned Silnius
- [20:11:24] <Frosty> I have an idea
- [20:11:38] <Frosty> Perhaps clans would need to govern their own forums
- [20:11:42] <Tin-> Someone needs to make decision over clans. If every clan got their section, clans would've become chaotic. Chaos. Boom.
- [20:11:45] <DE> SallyTheButcher, yeh. a much more here and now issue. is would kagex allow us to slightly change the clan coun cil? as we are considering doing.
- [20:11:48] <Silnius> Well, DE , for example, my clan is not so much active on forum, because half of us don't speak very well english, but we need it for have a links with the community. So maybe a part for contact clan will be just good also
- [20:11:52] <SallyTheButcher> Why would it matter DE ?
- [20:11:55] <Frosty> And to find a clan, a list is made that links to the clans individual forums
- [20:12:01] <SallyTheButcher> if they fail they fail nothing comes of them
- [20:12:17] <DE> SallyTheButcher, becuase a new council with the new system will be more effective and imrpove the qaulity of subsections
- [20:12:23] <DE> improve*
- [20:12:28] <SallyTheButcher> I also think there needs to be a lot more wider support to encourage clan creation, recruitment and activity
- [20:12:39] *** StackOverflow ([email protected]) has joined #thebastion
- [20:12:39] <DE> but if they fail and there is no council, they can't remove there own threads
- [20:12:39] *** Q sets mode: +v StackOverflow
- [20:12:40] <SneakyMobile> d
- [20:12:43] <DE> they just block up the subsection
- [20:12:54] <DE> and the admins get bogged down with deletion requests
- [20:13:01] <DE> which is what has happened before
- [20:13:06] <DE> and prompted the councils creation
- [20:13:37] <SallyTheButcher> Let me ask a question do you think the way the council operates encourages new players to try a clan knowing they need to win favour with the council?
- [20:13:42] <Tin-> Sally, there are too many clans which have no idea what they are doing.
- [20:13:50] <Frosty> yes
- [20:13:52] <DE> SallyTheButcher thats what we want to change
- [20:13:59] <SallyTheButcher> So you change the system DE to one that cuts this out
- [20:14:18] <DE> the new system just gathers information
- [20:14:23] <Silnius> Maybe section for active clan, and if they want. And a more little section for contact clan or idk
- [20:14:27] <DE> the amdins would decide with the council if they get a subsection or not
- [20:14:30] <DE> admins*
- [20:14:34] <Tin-> Also, clans section need more moderators. It's wild out there! By mods, I don't mean new moderators that came into community, I mean the most experienced clan leaders / clan observators.
- [20:14:39] <SallyTheButcher> So why not just have requirements for certain 'support'
- [20:14:52] <DE> SallyTheButcher, we tried having requirments. didn't work out
- [20:14:52] <StackOverflow> did I miss anything important?
- [20:14:57] <tiki> ^no
- [20:14:57] <Fornax> nope
- [20:14:59] <Tin-> nope
- [20:15:01] <DE> the clans still had the high failure rate
- [20:15:01] <danhezee> not yet
- [20:15:11] <Fornax> and the subsection curse
- [20:15:16] <Fornax> someone needs to find a cure for that
- [20:15:26] *** PABH is now known as PABH_Away
- [20:15:26] <DE> SallyTheButcher, we jsut want this until 1.0. then you guys do what you like.
- [20:15:57] <SallyTheButcher> Sure well you guys are free to carry on as you see best I think the suggestion is an improvement sure
- [20:16:01] <DE> becuase i can promise you that while the new system is in operation. it will drasticly speed up the process time for a clans subsection application
- [20:16:08] <DE> ahh excellent
- [20:16:10] <DE> thank you.
- [20:16:15] <Silnius> Yeah but clan can still failed after that
- [20:16:24] <DE> moving on o/. SallyTheButcher what questions do you have for us?
- [20:16:34] <Tin-> SallyTheButcher: Is it possible that tGM imports new mods on e.g clans?
- [20:16:38] <Fornax> aren't we supposed to ask her questions DE
- [20:16:43] <SallyTheButcher> indeed decision by council can take some time I have experienced it in my own systems
- [20:16:45] <DE> yeh go ahead
- [20:16:46] <DE> Fornax
- [20:16:51] <DE> Im not stopping anyone
- [20:16:57] <Fornax> i'm dry on questions
- [20:17:03] <uvs> ...
- [20:17:03] <SallyTheButcher> don't get me wrong councils can be great for many things
- [20:17:07] <gen_applejack> can we ask if sally even lift
- [20:17:08] <StackOverflow> council is unnecessary
- [20:17:18] <StackOverflow> at least in the way it's being used now
- [20:17:20] <DE> StackOverflow yes, but we lack a better system.
- [20:17:25] <DE> so we have to make do
- [20:17:48] <Frosty> Can I ask one off topic question quickly?
- [20:17:48] <Silnius> I guess if clan is active and can get members, and play on aos often, he can have a section if he wants
- [20:17:54] <SallyTheButcher> agreed and it's impressive how you have kept it running by refining etc
- [20:17:59] <DE> Frosty if it's not related to clans, no
- [20:18:04] <Frosty> ah ok
- [20:18:07] <Frosty> I'll wait
- [20:18:23] <DE> >kept it running
- [20:18:30] <DE> we are changing it becuase it is broken xD
- [20:18:31] <StackOverflow> it's come to a halt
- [20:18:49] <StackOverflow> nobody wants to manage the clan section, it's broken and unmoderated
- [20:18:55] <DE> well (DE gets on his high horse) iv been pudhing them since the councils creation to change it or ditch it.
- [20:18:55] <StackOverflow> doesn't scale at all
- [20:18:56] <Fornax> true
- [20:18:57] <SallyTheButcher> Sure going forwards to keep the clans fresh and healthy we need to look at what can be done to encourage as many competitive sized clans as possible.
- [20:19:01] <DE> pushing them*
- [20:19:03] <SallyTheButcher> be them small or massive
- [20:19:30] <DE> SallyTheButcher competitive clans so rare in aos, due to the massive failure rate of the clans
- [20:19:39] <DE> they just don't survive
- [20:19:47] <DE> cureently there are only like 3-4 decent clans.
- [20:19:49] <SallyTheButcher> Well I am sure we can work towards changing that
- [20:19:54] <Silnius> Very hard to found members on aos
- [20:19:58] <Silnius> for clan
- [20:20:00] <SallyTheButcher> I noticed
- [20:20:02] <Silnius> Its not like some other games
- [20:20:06] <Tin-> How do you plan to change that sally?
- [20:20:12] <tiki> de i think there would be more if there was some sort of match system
- [20:20:19] <DE> well, how WOULD you go about changing that SallyTheButcher? :>
- [20:20:20] <SallyTheButcher> So let's talk about what you would want in an ideal world
- [20:20:27] <DE> tiki quite possibly
- [20:20:36] <SallyTheButcher> OK hang on let me answer that
- [20:20:47] <DE> SallyTheButcher ranking systme, match system ,leader boards. give people a reason to form a competitive team
- [20:20:57] <SallyTheButcher> I think there are basic things to work towards getting such as a ladder
- [20:21:07] <SallyTheButcher> clan in game identification
- [20:21:19] <SallyTheButcher> Visibility and promotion of clans
- [20:21:24] <SallyTheButcher> front page stuff
- [20:21:24] <DE> built in ID's you mean? not jsut adding a tag to the name.
- [20:21:30] <SallyTheButcher> uhuh
- [20:21:32] <DE> ah
- [20:21:39] <uvs> All of this points away from a forum and more towards a community type website
- [20:21:41] <danhezee> clan in game identification exist how would you improve on it SallyTheButcher
- [20:21:41] <Tin-> Promotions?
- [20:21:41] <SallyTheButcher> Or some other identifier
- [20:21:43] <uvs> And Im all for it
- [20:21:58] <DE> [19:21] <@uvs> All of this points away from a forum and more towards a community type website
- [20:21:59] <Tin-> How about logins with forum accounts?
- [20:22:00] <SneakyMobile> A ladder would be perfect.
- [20:22:01] <Silnius> It will be hard to put on game
- [20:22:03] <DE> pretty much uvs
- [20:22:08] <Fornax> What if, there is some sort of a way to make clan events(clan vs forum...stuff like that) allot easier for the clans.
- [20:22:09] <SallyTheButcher> danhezee: you mean changing your name to [Clan]?
- [20:22:15] <danhezee> yes
- [20:22:31] <danhezee> what do you suggest to improve on that system
- [20:23:09] <Fornax> Like if there is a certain groupe of people that volounteer to help organize those events.
- [20:23:13] <DE> well currently you impersonate a clan. if the tag was given by a forum linked system that checked if you are in the clan or not..
- [20:23:18] <SallyTheButcher> I would add something that wasn't attached to your name for one, be it a typical prefix, bespoke skins identies, or symbols
- [20:23:39] <SallyTheButcher> or any other cool idea someone suggests and is possible
- [20:23:42] <danhezee> I think the clan council should shift toward managing and organizing these events
- [20:23:50] <Fornax> [20:22] <+Fornax> What if, there is some sort of a way to make clan events(clan vs forum...stuff like that) allot easier for the clans.
- [20:24:00] <Fornax> [20:23] <+Fornax> Like if there is a certain groupe of people that volounteer to help organize those events.
- [20:24:26] <SallyTheButcher> Oh I think we could do a lot to boost recruitment, this is what I mean by promotion, I want to promote the recognised clans
- [20:24:39] *** james___ ([email protected]) has joined #thebastion
- [20:24:40] <StackOverflow> what about the unrecognized ones
- [20:24:43] <SneakyMobile> Free servers for clan matches plox
- [20:24:48] <StackOverflow> those are the ones that need recognition
- [20:24:48] <SallyTheButcher> I want to help those grow
- [20:24:50] <DE> SallyTheButcher, out of itnrest though. how would you promote a prominent clan, like the bastion?
- [20:24:52] <StackOverflow> or a popularity boost rather
- [20:24:55] <DE> intrest* gah excuse me
- [20:25:07] <Tin-> <@DE> SallyTheButcher, out of itnrest though. how would you promote a prominent clan, like the bastion?
- [20:25:16] <SallyTheButcher> by making sure they have guides, tips tutorials, just generally help
- [20:25:18] *** Q sets mode: +l 37

- [20:26:25] <Silnius> wb Kiwaka`
- [20:26:40] <Tin-> Well, I am currently managing Clan Assistance. That can connect with event based stuff.
- [20:26:47] <SallyTheButcher> DE: I would do something like liaise with you to know what sort of promotion you needed, and maybe get your guys to make their own assets if that was something you had skills for. I would then run a campaign of some sort to spotlight the clan and show off what it has to offer via a variety of platforms
- [20:27:15] <SallyTheButcher> (sorry I am a slow at typing)
- [20:27:30] <DE> np, yeh okay.
- [20:27:38] <DE> Seems intresting
- [20:27:38] <Fornax> Umm.
- [20:27:52] <Fornax> What if clan moderatoring has certain levels
- [20:28:04] <DE> for complications. don't go there
- [20:28:05] <DE> trust me
- [20:28:16] <Fornax> like clan leader has the biggest moderator provelages in the clan
- [20:28:39] <SallyTheButcher> If there were enough people interested, we could make clan events officer a role, or maybe each clan had a few of those roles to make sure there are specialists dedicated to creating events
- [20:29:00] <Fornax> yup
- [20:29:06] <DE> SallyTheButcher, so with the whole clan shake up system. make it all a bit more similar to the call of duty clans?
- [20:29:07] <DE> yeh?

- [20:32:42] <StackOverflow> ^
- [20:32:49] <SallyTheButcher> In my opinion people already involved in clans have nothing to lose and everything to gain by helping others develop their own clans as it means more clans being successful and more competition
- [20:33:27] <StackOverflow> do you expect to continue using the forums in their current state with all of this clan discussion?
- [20:33:28] <TheGrandmaster> I think that the new ideas that dan posted/mumble peeps drafted seems pretty good
- [20:33:37] <Tin-> Yeah. Well, what have you said about moderators on clans?
