Unfortunately TAW has become a community of hackers. See attached screenshots. Connecting to the taw servers is dangerous and can crash your machine.

This smacks of desperate, which you shouldn’t be considering the size if the clan. Usually i would think having quality people in your clan would make you more desirable a clan to join, especially with the number of servers you run and the extra stuff you do. But apparently you went with the quantity over quality concept… Good luck with that.

Actually we go for quantity AND quality. :smiley:

Every single one of those guys in that list adds something positive to the game and all of our players are mature and constantly work to improve their game.

Nothing desperate about it, our superb structure allows us to accommodate lots of quality people and still lets us discriminate, though we have a lot of members we still wind up rejecting quite a few many people as well. We see ourselves as stewards of this game and the bigger and more widespread we become the longer ETQW will last.

I guess unsportsmanlike conduct isn’t covered with these statements.

It’s always great to see some arguments when people make statements.

I didn’t know you guys started with Delta Force… that was my first FPS clan game as well… I was Moustochisan2 in that game… Boy did Runfast kill that game LOL

YEah TAW is definitely your best choice for a clan if you like organization and real warfare and stuff like that. Very serious awesome clan.

Just a reminder to everyone, we are nearing the end of our 14th Battle for Earth season. For a description on “Battle for Earth” or ‘BFE’ as we call it, check this link which described our BFE #9: http://taw.net/blogs/features/archive/2009/04/19/quake-wars-battle-for-earth-ix.aspx

We are still recruiting. On average we have 70-80 American/western hemisphere members show up twice a week in teamspeak and 40-50 Europeans/Africans/western Asians show up twice a week for matches.

Come join us and see why we are still the biggest and most organized group out there and why we have the most fun and highest member retention.

Their “unsportmanlike” conduct have caused any real problem?

I don’t see like that. They dont give up fast, and this awake insecurity on other.

Aww spoiling all the fun… was getting into the conflict

(Szakalot) #14

Exactly, i was just about to watch the show !

(Donnovan) #15

Not conflict by my self, i have no more to say about hehe. Don’t have the time to convince world via internet.

actually the fact that there are “monster-clans” like TAW shows how lazy the community has become.
If there were some motivated players in TAW, there would not be 1 clan having 100 members but 10 clans having 10 members.

This shall not be understood as a flame against TAW, but i think in general the ET:QW - community is very lazy :smiley:

And this is a good thing? Since your mouth is like “D” and not like “(”.

No offense taken, but we are not a “monster” clan. In fact, we are more organized than any other group out there, doing two organized matches a week with a strong and specific structure. We do an internal tournament breaking our members down into teams and having the teams play each other in organized matches using mods and custom maps as well. Everyone follows certain rules, shows up on time reliably and it is a lot of fun, no other group has tried this and you can’t get this experience with external scrims because groups who don’t follow your rules won’t show up on time reliably. We are not the size we are because ETQW players are “lazy,” far from it, ETQW has one of the highest learning curves around and although the community has shrunk a bit, there are very dedicated players left. Our size it is a testament to the fun we are having and the professionalism in which we organize.

I did never ever say you are not organized.
If you weren’t organized very well, you would not do matches and probably wouldn’t have so many members.Actually I think TAW is one of the most organized clans in ETQW…

My point was that most qw- players nowadays dont want to build up a team of their own and arent able to organize anything.
I am not playing in a clan, as I am not very active but I think having more clans instead of big clans keeps the community more active.
And maybe we would still have some active ESL oder clanbase ladder or tournament if there were some more clans
