I posted here on the fact that I got no decent response on IRC, the thread is about the ET Clan scene and this is a hindsight into it and because in general, as stated, I felt Battery was wrong when he claims the UK Clan Scene is shit.
Ill drop it nps…
Aye, I just think using specific examples of events and going into depth is a little too much. Shame you couldn’t get a decent response from IRC.
As for the UK clan scene, there are a number of emerging clans, just it all needs to settle down, there’s been a hell ofa lot of movement in between clans of late, it just remains to be seen whether new lineups will settle down and improve teamplay.
Illusion are looking like a good lineup, and they’ve said they wish to be challenging in the UK top 3. I think if you compare the UK scene to the Euro scene then you’re always going to have problems. The two aren’t really comparable, give it 6 months perhaps and see how UK clans have developed. We didn’t really take to ET with the same amount of vigour as the Euro scene, at least that’s the way I see it.
I think we have decent enough aims, just can’t really compare to the Euro clans organisation and teamwork. This is more at the mid-level. At the top, Royalty are representing the UK scene very well, and hopefully Void will also be pushing at the top level soon. They’ve certainly got the players.
I think there are plenty of competitions out there to enter especially attached to Clanbase. The UK ladder as far as I can tell is a bit of joke, doesn’t reflect well on the UK, teams at the top are very good, but there’s an awful lot of tripe in there.
mm1 = messagemode1 = global chat
mm2 = messagemode2 = team chat
(At least that’s my theory. 
)
what is mm1?
Aye, I was too scared to ask 
Seems like a fine theory to me Sauron.
mm1 = Message Mode 1 = Say/Chat.
mm2 = Message Mode 2 = Team Chat.
mm3 = Bla Bla 3 = Fireteam Chat.
Indeed there is a fair few clans upcoming in the UK scene but at least, atm, its quite easy to seperate the clans up into like groups. And its not helping that clans are losing a good deal of players to EU clans and/or other games/mods.
Basically I can see it like this:
Top - Could withstand EuroCup / Proplay stylee
Royal - Obvious they have what it takes.
Bio - Can compete imo with the likes of Royal/Void
Void - Only seen em v Bio and a few on Pubs…
League of there own and wannabies 
- Div 1
Replica - Upcoming decent players just dodgy attitude.
Officers - Not seen much but a few demos…
KK - Goin on fact there Div 1 savage.
sSs - Going places hopefully 
Great lads and good teamwork/aims
+7sqd - Good rep and Div 1 savagers.
Zero - Were good once Seem to have lost the knack…
LSR - Only from what ive played were doing not bad in ClanBase vs some top euro clans (non-EC obv tho) and can put a challenege in to the rest ere.
frag* (not seen much of this lot) - div 1 savages
T! - cant really say much, aint played v em and aint ever seen em on servers
ukeg - see above.
Cant speak for Illusion as ive never heard, nor seen any of them around either.
No I haven’t forgot to add eQ, NW, ABS, ED, DoW etc I just dont look at these clans as in it for comps. There there for the fun of playing and out to have a laugh…
waits for Flames
yeah but seriously no-one can compete with royal in UK, did listen to void Vs royal on shoutcast, royal did goldrush in 6 minites, and void are meant to be the 2nd best in UK? id say BiO are on par wid void, but royal are FAAAR infront. there are some very good shooters in the UK, its just there is a lot of UK clans that loose members and drop players or generally break up to soon and because of this these clans dont get the chance to work together as a team, thats why royal and bio etc are so successful, because they have been together a long time
I’d agree with that top 3, with Officers, +7sqd, UKEG just outside (UKEG are 3 scrims a night, 6 nights a week monsters and really coming together, we play them a lot). Unfortunately T! are yet to play most of those listed so hard to say where we are, but we hold our own against UKEG and One.Soldier (who we scrim regularly) and, I’m sorry to say Piggy, totally outclassed LSR the 2 times we’ve scrimmed them. You might not see us much on pubs cos we all tend to alias. Look out for ElCid (me), Drift|King, MrStabby, Whistle. btw, I’m our worst player by far, so don’t use me as an indication of T!'s ability.
Remember who wasn’t playing at the time tho.
As I said, I couldnt go on that but instead i’ve went with the fact we defeated Zero shortly after our scrimms with you and are currently doing well, even if we are losing :), in CB. Was just recently we cut down the squad and tidied up a bit… had same team of 7 players playing now 3/4 times a week the past month and tbh doing well…
… if only the pesky Euros wern’t all complaining about 40/50 ping to our server and basically forced us to have 70-100 each CB game on random Portugese and Italian servers… \o/ … funny how some of em ping 200 to our NL and 200 in theres until the game starts and they all hit < 30. :poke: :poke:
Edit: Tbh, I think this season of Savage will show the top UK clans in action providing Void (cough Sign up TosspoT maybe? :P) and BiO and Officers show face… Gives me another season of Savage Demos to save up too and add to the long in the making process movie…
I’ve just seen a demo of Royal, playing XS on Caen. Really boring game to watch, all their FO did was basically spawn, throw an airstrike, throw a grenade, /kill. Yeah, sometimes he actually used his SMG but most of the times he avoided combat by /killing. In the end he did 22 /kill and his entire team managed 57 /kills in just 30 minutes. I don’t care whether you are saying that this is a good tactic… it’s no fun to watch and I certainly don’t want to play against such a team, I want to play a WW2 shooter and no beam-me-out-of-here Scotty SciFi game :disgust:
And please no renewed discussion whether /kill is part of the game or not, I have no problem with a /kill to spawn at a different spawnpoint or to switch class but all this /killing to avoid getting killed or to regenerate energy to keep up the arty spam is not my idea of a fun game.
I’d agree with that top 3, with Officers, +7sqd, UKEG just outside (UKEG are 3 scrims a night, 6 nights a week monsters and really coming together, we play them a lot). Unfortunately T! are yet to play most of those listed so hard to say where we are, but we hold our own against UKEG and One.Soldier (who we scrim regularly)
maybe u can add us to the list we did oasis in 6mins Vs ukeg and we also beat one.soldier, we should get a scrim sometime it should be an interesting match
hope your attitudes are better than ukegs 
UKEG don’t have an attitude, they’re top guys, we play them a couple of times a week. :???: But well done beating them and One.Soldier. We mostly draw or lose against both :disgust:
Drop by #theinfamous B4tt3ry and speak to me as it’s allways great to scrim good teams
Pgh maybe we can have another game soon ,but can you just make sure your team hangs around for the other map this time and don’t just all dissconect and leave us all alone on your server without even a goodbye
thanks maximus, it might not be very soon cause our clan leader is kinda busy, but im sure that we can arrange something i look forward to it
Void won’t be joining the Savage League unless they adopt the new Clanbase settings which I hear Toss is very fond of. And even then, they’ve got a lot of other commitments going on elsewhere.
KK could be better if we practiced/got some tactics together but atm we only scrim once or twice a week. Plus you won’t really see many of our players about on publics as most of the lads play without tags. I’d be inclined to put Officers in the top 4, bloody good side.
Looking forward to the scrim next Tuesday, Max
T! number one in the UK for introductions to their website utilising flash animation.
some of the clanbase settings are aload of bull, i can remember our match being delayed for 40 mins, because they have these stupid ATI extensions on punkbuster, which ET doesnt EVEN USE.
sux
Thats PB not really CB. 
If you remember or have noticed it seems to always get reset to 1 (r_fsaa_ati_tess or truform whatever etc) when PB updates. A server exec ClanBase configs cant force a client to change a cvar, especially if its a ‘protected/violation’ one atm. Not really a problem anyways just set them in the autoexec. Also means if it does change at any time you can just /exec it.
Personally I can’t wait to get ETPro 3.x up and running properly as it has the ability to “snap” client side cvars to compliant values, rather than kick players for non-compliance and require them to change their cvars themselves. That will save a lot of hassle getting everyone on server to have the right set of cvars.
Efterlyst (et.efterlyst.org) is currently running latest fixes for ET Pro 3. It just forces autodl of 3_0_0 but it is infact a fixed version… (patch 7 afaik ) Had a look last nite and already loving the panzer and grenade cam… \o/ as well as the rest of the fixes… on top of things I dunno if its the way efter’s setup but it runs alot ‘smoother’. Dropping a mine is smoother for example… it feels ‘different’ but plays the same. All good tho ofc.
