That was me, I made that at 4am after the game we had last night, thoose are guidelines which you should follow, I NEVER had MUST written in the site, NEVER!
It is for a friendly nock about, but on the OcUK server last night, one team played in squads, the other was standing infront of jets so the pilot couldnt take off, all waiting for a vehicle spawn and all playing as lone wolf!
I worte that set of guidelines on the site without consulting anyone else yes, it is open to discussion but I was shocked at how some people played on the one side, everyone is meant to have fun, never had the MUST (I have the file save to proove it mate) and I wrote them just to get the message across as to why we made the group, to play TOGETHER, not on our own like on a public like one team did last night!
Me and a few others played as a couple of squads after the game and had a great time, it was just the OcUK game where people didnt play together; which is the whole point.
If you feel the way that some of us are overbearing then fine to speak up, as I asume you are directing that at me and Malc. We have done a lot behind the scenes to get this up and running, equally Yhack has. Sorry if anyone sees this as we are taking control but unless someone pushes foreward in certain ways we wouldnt have had that game at all last night, we wouldnt have identified that 20 man server isnt up to the load we put on it, we wouldnt have a website or a TS channel. On msn moreso a LOT of people have been involved; Siders77 has had his opinion in a lot of things for instance but I think he has posted 4 times in this thread, everyone is welcome to their own opinion and I am up for anything going on the website!
Thing is so far, only me and Siders77 have made any content for our website; if you feel the groups being run poorly then you are more than welcome to try and organise and get things together instead of me as I am very busy at the moment, but nothing seems to be progressing unless a few get their finger out and do it. We are still not 100% sure of the whole legality of using the [OcUK] tag; but we are on it.
You must join a squad, no, but it would be a good idea when we have 20 OcUK'ers on a server, and we have arranged a fun game, playing as a jet whore and only playing with jets, when your team is loosing and the jets in the air when you could be healing someone dead next to you and things like that, on the one team I had one of the best BF2 games ever, the whole team working in two squads, a awsome commander who was doing eevrything perfect. I switched teams on the next map as Malc was getting vocal on the TS about the other team, and as China on wake had 1 more player I switched to see what was going on. 4 people standing on the carrier deck waiting for the attack chopper or jet, I asked for one of them to come to the boats quite a few times, but no, they wanted points from the air! I ended up leaving as the whole team was playing as lone wolf, which I can do on my own anytime.
I have squadded up about 50 times in the last few weeks with OcUK'ers and I have always had a absolute blast, why I am so pro this gaming group! If you want to take control and run it, because we have been here longer is utter rubbish!
Malc is ace, first time I spoke to him I thought that he was abnocious due to the language he uses and he seemed really overbearing, give him 2 hours on teamspeak though and he is a blast to talk to and a ACE person to play WITH.
Last night on the TS channel at about 10pm, Malc, Me, Rebel=UK=, Theotheroption, Romeo-Klio, Saikor and maybe another (sorry I was really pepped up) had a blast, I left with a smile and was laughing all the way through, even though thanks to rebel=UK= I had my worst ever K : D ratio.
Im sorry to anyone who thinks I am taking control of this, I am not, just I am trying to get us to where we need to be, I will be organising another game once I get the OK for using the server again, hopefully everyone will be able to have fun in the next one, as ultimately that is my goal! If anyone else wants to organise and run anything feel free; I personally have not shunned the forum, been busy, were adverts on the forum at one point why it was not linked (OcUK name + competitor adverts = nono) but now when I update the site I will have the link, and I will register on the site pronto, just after I have updated my CV.
(This post may be a bit garbled, just got in and I was shocked to find the post quoted, sorry to the poster but that is not how it is and definately not how it ever will be, on the site they are guidelines, as in you don't have to do them, the only rule we have is no racism and abusive behaviour.)
I misread the quoted post thinking it was in quotation of the website, sorry in advance can tell I am tired, have left my post intact so you can get my views on this; if anyone wants me to leave just say and I am gone from the OcUK clan, and will foreward my domain to the forum; I have other clans I could play with but OcUK has the potential to be a blast, the clan is only doomed when we admit it is, first game, poor organisation on my behalf not saying we should squad up before hand, my first game organised and it went well, just Malc didnt have a nice game on one team, and when I swapped I did nto either; so on that note it was a failure as the game should be fun for all as ultimately it is a game.
