Alright so basically I think YAH should be structured and organized. YAH currently lacks leadership, structure, and organization. For starters, we NEED admin. Not just a couple either. Having admin would allow us to maintain control of the server. Secondly, we need an OFFICIAL roster. My idea is to cut anyone who doesn't regularly play. We should also have weekly scrimnages or something similar.

Recently, almost all of the original members have left and joined other clans. All the people I played with regularly are gone due to the reason mentioned above.

The whole recruiting thing has really gotten out of hand, I take a two month break and come back and there are TONS of new people who are very poor players and got recruited simply because they had one good game. This is ruining YAH more than it already is. YAH is ranked among the top 20 servers in the WORLD, why not have a clan to go with it that is equally impressive?

Please disregard this post if you are a new YAH member, as it is not intended for you. But, rather for us "OG" members if you will(or those that are still left)

I like what Implicit is saying, I encouraged him to post here. I started this clan and the server with a few other guys a few years ago and things have really exploded. I don't have the time to organize this, but I can get the admin access and whatever else we need from RedRum as long as it stays in good hands. Post some replies here and lets get a discussion going.

yeah i think my good looks need to take a back seat for the moment.

i think nothing can be done without admin powers and they need to be allocated to people who play regularly and are from different parts of the world i.e trigga in new zealand and badbones from the states to increase the chance of an admin being present on the server.

from then we can address the new members of (YAH) and maybe remove some tags until we set some rules i.e at least 25 points per min and 50 hours game play along those lines...

but yeah my thoughts

Set rules for clan membership is a great idea.

While I'm posting this, would it be alright if I put my tags back on?

rules are the only way to get respect other wise ur clan is a joke.

i have no problem with it...

im back with yah!

Hi Boys (and Girls)

This is what I like to see, something constructive! About 2-3 months ago I had this exact same discussion with Dragon & STINGBEE our admins at the time. I also sent MayDay a message regarding the administration of the clan. Most of your comments share my exact centiments at the time, so thank you, seem like "great mind DO think alike"!

I was also suprised (and a bit dissapointed) when BEE started recruiting alot and he appointed some "recruiters" that I felt did not meet the maturity level of the general (YAH) population...

I've myself recruited some players, BUT mostly when asked by a prospective member referred them to Gametracker, so that MayDay can decide. I know that this is also a bit unfair to Mayday (Sorry Boss!!!) because he is very busy, and he is not playing as much as some of us, but mostly the guys accepted to the clan on gametracker are good people and players.

Now, the main issue, IT IS IMPOSSIBLE to have a decent clan without rules, and even if you have some rules and guidelines, if they are not enforced (by way of admin rights), how are you going to enforce these rules. By now you should all know me, one of the "older" guys and also (to my shock) the player most online. Please don't kick me from the clan!!!!?

.... t.b.c

I support Nathan's idea of an hour limit and score ratio as the primary criteria for recruiting, but there should be some acceptions and caveats too... eg. I don't care if you have been playing for 200 hours and have a score ratio of 70 - if you are a nade-switcher you should be hung by your toes and left to dry in the Eqyptian sun (I HATE nadeswitchers!!!)

So the person should also be a nice guy. We are all different ages and I am one of the older guys - but age should also not determine membership... here is an example: (YAH)TopGun was recruited by me a few months ago, if he did not tell someone after about 2 months of playing as a YAH that he was only 14 years old, I would not have had an idea. He is a good player, does not swear (yet!), is generally nice and friendly, and act way above his age... I thought he was much, much, much older (He only has this annoying bind about PERKS & SHIT BEING ALLOWED)

To summarise my thoughts - I agree with 99% of the comments made. Bottom line - sort out the rules and admins and we can go from there.

Cheers
Trigg

(Please don't kick me from YAH - I'll try harder!!!)

Almost forgot - I like the idea of having large clan. When I log onto gametracker and go the clan page it looks so much better than when I joined as member 3!!!

And I don't have problems with any of the current members apart from the 2 nadeswitching fuckers that should be killed on the spot LOL!

Cheers

also just a thought, on redrummers clan they use headsets to talk to fellow clan members.

maybe that could be an option for (YAH) clan, as trigga said he only wants decent human beings in the clan no ELMOS or HUNGREDBALLS this way it would be easier to determine this and as well play as a real clan as typing is a frustration some time.

just a thought.
