BELK/OSEA ALLY

hello SoF,

after talking to ryan who runs OSEA, and BELK, he would like to be allies with us. he has alot of players in OSEA, and the BELK part is his elite players. and they are damn good.

he enjoys playing with us lot, and asks to be allies.

what do you guys think? yes, no?

CTU had a 'friendly' clan war against OSEA a couple of months back and we lost. but since then, the bond between OSEA and those of us here has strengthened. and i believe this will be a good choice for the future.

Sounds good to me.
Are there any stipulations to becoming an ally, from them or us?

what do you mean?

I KNOW SOME CLANS HAVE GUIDELINES THEY FOLLOW WHEN ALLYING WITH ANOTHER CLAN.
I WAS JUST WONDERING IF WE WELCOME ALL (GOOD OR BAD), OR HAVE SOME KIND OF STANDARDS SET BEFORE ASSOCIATING SOF WITH ANY CLAN.
I MYSELF, SAY WELCOME ALL.

i dunno, but we were agreeing to let them ally with CTU. but they refuse to now, but said they ally with us. so i thought sure thing lol

Good with me.

I didn't put up an ALLIED CLAN board, so we have no ALLIED Application or information about this to read.  So we don't have any real guidelines at this time for other Clans.  I'm not sure SoF needs one, as how we are organized at this point.  The membership needs to talk about this and decide.

SoF is loosely put together at this point and not really a Clan.  Just friends playing BF3 and waiting for BF4.  So.... you guys talk about the future and being ALLIED to other Clans.

How organized should [SoF] get?  We know what CTU turned into... we just don't want that to happen here!!  The closer BF4 and the PS4 gets here... this is worth discussing!!

FOR ME... I'm the website guy.....  I don't make major decisions.   That way I can't get blamed when the shit hits the fan!!!!  

i explained that we just play for fun, and later in the coming months we'll be more clan like. and they were great with that. even asked to set up a fun little war thing. lol.

we should be organized, but nothing serious.

have set clan nights. have squads. and have squad leaders, BUT squad leaders should be voted on every day before clan night starts. that way its always the clans decision. but you cant have the same person twice in a row.

I BELIEVE I WAS IN THAT MATCH AGAINST OSEA. SEEMED LIKE SOME GOOD GUYS.

BUT MACK, THERE IS A VERY THIN LINE, ALMOST INVISIBLE, WHEN IT COMES TO BEING ORGANIZED, BUT NOTHING SERIOUS. I UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU MEAN, BUT I FEEL YOU USUALLY GET 2 DIFFERENT TYPES OF PLAYERS. SERIOUS OR CASUAL. VERY FEW CAN HANDLE DOING BOTH.

WE SHOULD PROBABLY COME UP WITH A SYSTEM THAT WOULD ENSURE NOBODY GETS CONFUSED.

YEA, IM DOWN FOR A COUPLE OF SCRIMS WITH ANOTHER CLAN. BUT I WOULDNT EVEN CONSIDER ANYTHING LARGER THAN A SMALL SQUAD KINDA MATCH.

yeah, this is something the cabinet must discuss. HAHAAH! i agree with you. maybe we should sort it between serious and casual players. and states players and europe players. this is going to get crazy unless we control it.

but i dont know how we would control it without putting some one in charge so if theres a problem they go to them or something.

THATS WHAT I WAS AFRAID OF, BUT I FEEL WE CAN MUSTER UP SOMETHING. IF WE DO WRITE DOWN SOME KIND OF GUIDE LINE, WE NEED TO DO SO WITH A BROAD BRUSH.
I PERSONALLY DONT FEEL SEPARATING SOF INTO DIFFERENT SECTIONS, IS WHAT SOF STANDS FOR. I USED TO THINK IT WAS THE ONLY WAY FOR A CLAN TO SURVIVE. BECAUSE WHEN YOU GOT HALF CASUAL PLAYERS IN THE SAME SERVER WITH COMPETITIVE, THEY JUST DONT SEEM TO WORK WELL TOGETHER.
BUT THEN AGAIN, MAYBE IT WOULD WORK. BUT I THINK YOU WOULD HAVE TO CREATE A NEW CLAN SPECIFICALLY FOR COMPETITIVE PLAYERS. IM NOT SAYING MAKE A COMPLETELY SEPARATE ENTITY, BUT MAYBE A OFF BRANCH OF SOF.
MY BRAIN HURTS EVERY TIME I TRY TO FIGURE THIS OUT. LOL.
BUT, IF YOU NEED ANY HELP WITH THIS STUFF, JUST LET ME KNOW MACK. YOU CAN BOUNCE IDEAS OFF OF ME ANY TIME.

so what you are saying is we should try what OSEA is doing? OSEA is a clan in itself, but BELK is also part of OSEA it just includes elite members. so instead of elite members we make it competititve players? is that what you are trying to say?

YES,
THAT WAY, WE CAN KEEP ALL OF THE STUFF THAT COMES WITH BEING A COMPETITIVE CLAN (PRACTICES, MAP CALL OUTS, STRUCTURE, ETC) AWAY FROM THE CASUALS, THAT JUST WANT TO PLAY AND CHAT.
