Ocuk Bad Company 2/BF3 clan interest

Your very wise:)
So what your saying i should get more than one in charge, say have 4 dons and they agree together on what should be done, when it comes to clan things eg kicking/map votes etc.

Also im on mumble i checked to see if any of your guys were there for a chat.

Some1 will be on shortly no doubt, if not quite a few will be on 2nite.

You need to create a structure, if you try to do everything yourself you'll fail..

Clan = a group of players who only play together
Community = a place where every1 shares the same tag but don’t all play together <---- This what it will be, not a clan.... imagin the amount of groups you'll have how can you run match nights or decide who's playing and who isn't ?


You dont necessarily have to have Don's, however i would seriously contact one them to make sure what your thinking of doing is allowed, it might be against the rules.

If they give the ok, i'd do the following...

1) Get a mumble server up to get people together.
2) Speak directly to a few guys who are interested, put a post up on ocuk with a list of the members wishing to be a leader, they can then be voted in by the ocuk community to manage the clan.
3) Play together and set out a mission type statement, saying your rules and procedures. These will have to reflect that of OcUk, its not something you can decide.
4) Give jobs out:

Our set up is:

Leaders jobs:
* Website/forum design
* Community leader
* Server Owner
* War arranger
* Application process
* Finance guy ( we have a dedicated TFU bank account with paypal set up)

Senior Admins jobs:
* Server support i.e restarts, scrims and anti cheat
* Forum mod
* War team leader
* Ban’s (only senior admin can dish out ban’s incase we have rouge admin’s.)

There is mega amount of work to do, if you want to have an efficiently run clan…. We’re lucky now that we're at a point where our clan run's its self, every1 knows what their doing and when to do it.

I'm telling you tho i dont think you realise how much crap your going to take for doing this, You will not be able to please every1…… You technically have no authority over any1 on the forums, so whats to stop a clan member contacting a don if they dont like how your running it, and then what can they do... this will no doubt really get on the don's nerves majorly…. There was an ocuk clan before and from what I know it was hard to run, you’ll have a lot of groups playing, so it will just be a community not a clan……….

Two people in my clan have admin on the steam ocuk group, hence us being the closest thing to an Ocuk clan..... might be an idea to see if you can get admin on that.

MINEFIELD!!

As much as i admire the fact you're enthusiastic about creating a clan from scratch, it sounds like you have little to no experience at running a clan at all, and the best approach would be for someone who has had experience to create and run the clan with you as a second in line or something whilst you pick up knowledge of how to run a clan successfully.

Yeah totally agree there....

Plenty of enthusiasm which is fantastic to see, but I really really don’t think you know what your getting your self in to. There are people here who would make your life a living hell and technically you’d be powerless to do anything about it.

Start your own little clan up, buy a server between you, organise a few matches..... this is how TFU started and we're now up and running, going well and have core members which means no matter who comes and goes we'll always still be standing.. (www.thefallenunit.co.uk)
 
Thanks for the great post, i think it has kinda put me off:p
I noticed that your without a BC2 server is that cause you had trouble with numbers. Your clan does seem to have a good link with OcUK, and i think thats the best way with such a huge community.
Would you be interested in having a server, of course i would have to go through your application as a member. But thats it all i would be is a member and ill give you and anyone else admin authoritys on the server.

I tell you now that job would be one job i'd never want to do, quite a few people here dont like me... and vice versa tbh, hence the reason it would be near impossible to please every1.

The beauty of having a few clans in OCUK is that it gives people a choice, what my clan offers would be different to what say Lecro's SaS clan would offer or gizzmo's SA18 Goats would ya know. We’ve banned a few people from OcUK but its not any of the Don’s concern because we aren’t an official OcUK clan.

If you wanted to come and see how our clan works your welcome, we have an open door Policy to ocuk members so come along as you please, however we have rules in place ;).

We dropped our server because not many of us were playing BC2, if you wanted to get your own server carry on.. plenty of us started playing again…. i'l give you as much help as you need, start off with a SQDM server on BC2 i would, the big 32 slots are hard to fill.... i'l make sure our guys try and fill it up for you
 
to be honest apart from the odd negitive comment this forum should have its own group of players it isnt hard to do damn ive run a few very big clans its a piece of cake.

just never give all power to one person thats the golden rule. that way its like a a joint vote if someone goes so it cant just be a personal vote on kicking someone out or cause they got owned.

set up a basic forum or create a section on here for ocuk players.

get four or five in charge . then you want a voice coms and a server .

most server places give you free voice coms if you rent a server now. its simple . the outlay is small have a donations on here or the website .

only people this may annoy is some clans on here who have members already in there clans from here ;) just keep it casual and just keep playing as the main priority. please dont be put off by minorities as a lot of people would be up for this you only have to see the bfbc2 thread to see this would work .
 
I'm in for BF3! I haven't game'd on the PC since BF2, but I can't wait for BF3. I've been in a clan before on MOHAA.

Here's some stuff I can offer too..

I own a vBulletin 4 forum, so I have experience creating and modding one.
I can design bits and bobs on Photoshop, like logo's or whatever.
I have experience hosting TeamSpeak.
I can make a website, if no one else can.
I am happy to pay towards fee's.

BTW, maybe start creating a member list or something? Members get confirmed once the game is out?

Cheers!
 
itd be nice to see a proper ocuk community gaming group, maybe not just bf3 etc, most seem to be setup then die off after a while.

Anyway, im game, so ill follow the idea and see how it goes, ive run/managed/set up/taken over clans before back in my css days, so a few things id say:

tis expensive , but as a community im sure a few people would happily donate

a visually nice website etc (professional/clean, not just a free forum with 500 million threads of horsepoo) will attract attention and be a nice "home"

use mumble :D

you cant please everyone, so dont try. People will want to do things differently, but if you have a good hierarchy management system things will be smooth regardless.

im sure ocuk affiliation isnt allowed, ie the shop/spie dont care or want. Thats what i rememeber from ages ago (tocuk css clan etc) but just using the name is fine?


anyway theres a lot of people on here who have done this before and most of us seem to have been singing out the same book in terms of tips :)
 
Looks like its better off in the hands of someone who knows what there doing, for that reason im out:p
Seriously though if you still need a server ill get one once someones organised the ocuk clan.
If i do get a server it will be for max players of that game also including mumble aswell.
