Guest IJM-Dragonfire Posted March 12, 2002 Share Posted March 12, 2002 #Usetheforce.net check this site out, its one of Jedi Outcasts first and foremost ladders. they're going to be hosting tournaments, a ladder. and those clans that join also enter into an alliance with the others that have joined. after 5 clans have joined the following clans have to send in a join email to one of the webmasters.. most likely me. then the leaders of the clans already present there vote upon the entrance of said clan into the circle of brothers. its actually pretty cool. all hosted by a guy that goes by the name Binary_Fision on irc.enterthegame.com channel #usetheforce. he's hosted UT, Q3A, and i'm pretty sure even RTCW ladders.. check his site out here. Proving Grounds its a way for the JK/MotS community to inter-mingle and try to make new friendships. i hope you take an interest and join up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legacy_QuEsT Posted March 13, 2002 Share Posted March 13, 2002 With all the new clubs/clans starting on the zone we need a way to promote our clubs/clans. What better way could this happen than by having at our fingertips the capability of contacting prospective members? By the shear presence of other clubs present in the channel, #UseTheForce also plays the duel role of helping our community progress as one and unifying our purpose of competative and fun gaming. It's a great way to meet people, make new friends, and recruit members to your clan. With all the features #UseTheForce offers you would be crazy to turn this opportunity down. I hope to see you guys in the channel and help me help you and make your JKO club dreams a reality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legacy_QuEsT Posted March 13, 2002 Share Posted March 13, 2002 But you will soon find out that the close cramped server that we know as the zone puts everybody in close proximety. The real deciding factor of status in clans for JK2 is going to be personality more than skill. I guess i'm a little bias on this point anyway. I think clans should be based on excellent people rather than excellent button pressing skills. - just my opinion <-- I love my ewok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoodlyGod Posted March 13, 2002 Share Posted March 13, 2002 Agreed, that's what my clan was founded on. And I wound up with some cool friends that weren't the best CS players. And because I'm listening too it, I'd just like to say: Ben Folds is good stuff. Anywhoo, back to the clan stuff. I'm thinking about bringing SN back for JO but I don't know how many clan members will own it. (Of course, I'll have to force some of them to own it but I don't know where the rest live) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legacy_QuEsT Posted March 13, 2002 Share Posted March 13, 2002 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FOG|Wraith> so what exactly do you mean by host FOG|Wraith> as in, you're hosting fog Legacy_QuEsT> Host the channel - Co-host is a better explenation. #UseTheForce wants to host as many clans as it can (The clan leaders being the only people with ops). Our vision is to attract as many clans, leaders and members, to join and represent their clan for JK2. It's a great way to advertise one's clan for prospective members that join the channel and to create a 'family' of clans. We hope to achieve the duel purpose of advertising clans, creating a community of clans, and possibly being the easiest place to discuss issues that effect the JK2 community. FOG|Wraith> oh, wait, FOG|Wraith> if fog is now part of this thing, then we're only allowed to be on one ladder? Legacy_QuEsT> The difference between what we hope to achieve and the zone is the zone is moderated by sysops. I feel and several others do as well that clan leaders should be in charge of moderating a community. Legacy_QuEsT> hmm, I created the channel for the purpose I just described to you. Dragonfire seems to have incorperated some of his own ideas into the mold. explain about the ladder?? well, i think you'll find ETG in general to be a very large community FOG|Wraith> "While being part of this clan alliance/hosting agency, you may only support one ladder. That ladder/tournament group is hosted by ProvingGrounds. This does not mean that you cant play in CWT tournaments. It means you are not allowed to join Cases or TeamWarfare's ladder. If you are caught doing so, your clan will be severely reprimanded. FOG|Wraith> " Legacy_QuEsT> hmm, i'll have to talk to dragonfire. It seems he is trying to entice Binary into actively participating in the channel by offering him some bait; overall 'diversity for more enjoyable gameplay' should be our main theme instead of 'restriction'. FOG|Wraith> oh, and binary runs PG, got it FOG|Wraith> well, fog isnt committed to any one ladder at all yet, and wont be for a while FOG|Wraith> so i suppose its a non-issue for now Legacy_QuEsT> don't worry about it. There are always going to be glitches in rules that are written late at night over a cup of coffee That's why we need suggestions and active participation from clans; for improvement on a good theme. FOG|Wraith> ok heh Legacy_QuEsT> FOG|Wraith> well, im off to bed for now *** [NDS]ReAcToR has quit IRC (Quit: (N|D|S) / (C|T|F) - Taking this 2 a new lvl.) FOG|Wraith> ill tty tomorrow Legacy_QuEsT> later, thanks for participating FOG|Wraith> np Legacy_QuEsT> It would be helpful if you posted what you just told me on the #UseTheForce forum. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Anybody is allowed to critisize but for it to be constructive critisizm we need suggestions as well. Anybody have a suggestion on how to fix this problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dev-logan Posted March 13, 2002 Share Posted March 13, 2002 legacy you represent the cancer of online gaming. your idea is retarded and not only are you stupid to the fact of JKO community but you are oblivious to the point of being an impartial admin of the channel. you ban people simply because they dont like you or becuase (like why you banned me) you are upset because you idolize them and they show you little or no appreciation for your love. Well legacy its time for you to grow up and to stop looking up to me its just a computer game man. get a life. also use the force is retarded in that its the newbiest set of ideas ive ever come across other than maybe the idiots on this forum that think the concussion rifle was unfair or that force grip was unfair because they got raped too many times to enjoy playing. #deviant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legacy_QuEsT Posted March 13, 2002 Share Posted March 13, 2002 If you martch right over to the use the force website you will find a few rules. We are copyrited under law and expect to portray a professional image that coincides with our members expectations. If you take a moment to reflect on what you just wrote the realization of why you were banned will suddenly dawn on you. 1.) "legacy you represent the cancer of online gaming. your idea is retarded and not only are you stupid to the fact of JKO community but you are oblivious..." I've seen enough. #UseTheForce rules and guidelines Clan UNITY: A few worms can spoil a good apple! if somebody is promoting their clan by flaming another this behavior will not be tolerated. A kick will ensue and a reason will be given Appropriate Conduct: members are expected to be friendly, non-confrontational, and well behaved. Excessive cussing, "flaming" other clans, or any other inappropriate behavior will not be tolerated. #UseTheForce is meant for Clan Advertising not Clan fighting and "flaming"! "to the point of being an impartial admin of the channel. you ban people simply because they dont like you or becuase (like why you banned me) you are upset because you idolize them and they show you little or no appreciation for your love. Well legacy its time for you to grow up and to stop looking up to me its just a computer game man. get a life. also use the force is retarded in that its the newbiest set of ideas ive ever come across other than maybe the idiots on this forum that think the concussion rifle was unfair or that force grip was unfair because they got raped too many times to enjoy playing."

dev-logan Posted March 13, 2002 Share Posted March 13, 2002 yes i do have my opinion in that proving grounds is a joke. have you even surfed the site? probably not you have been to busy jerking with dragonfire to actually see the big picture. when other REAL organizations are getting behind jko with their own leagues for example CAL - cyberathlete amatuer league, owned by that 800 pound gorilla CPL, you will just be shown for the newbies you are. ya i see who is signing up for your league, dumbasses that dont know any better of what is going on. OHNO DONT RESTRICT ME FROM PLAYING IN OTHER LEAGUES WITH GOOD PLAYERS provinggrounds is newbie its a piece of shat and so are you. now move along my padawan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legacy_QuEsT Posted March 13, 2002 Share Posted March 13, 2002 what does this have to do with #UseTheForce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dev-Zach Posted March 13, 2002 Share Posted March 13, 2002 First off, if you people actually think competative clans will be playing on the zone, you are most likey mistaken. The only way the zone will be used is if they obtain lots of fast dedicated servers specifically for JK2. I highly doubt this will happen. The zone will most likely be similar to MPlayer or HEAT.net for JK2. What I mean by this is it will have its very small community of newbie clans while the majority of clans/players will be on IRC using gamespy or some other server browser. This is exactly how it was for Quake 2 on the zone. Secondly, many other established leauges/ladders have confirmed that they are picking up JK2 (CAL and CWN to name the top two, plus many more). With this in mind, I highly doubt that UseTheForce will see much competative play... I truly don't think there is a need for this ladder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legacy_QuEsT Posted March 13, 2002 Share Posted March 13, 2002 You have outlined your viewpoint. You sound like you have some intelligible advise, and you should post it on the #UseTheForce forum where it belongs. In the meantime we will continue to gain members and pursue our purpose. If and at any time you are right you can always say, "I told you so". Thank you for your worry about our channel. It has been noted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TigZy Posted March 13, 2002 Share Posted March 13, 2002 Mmm, some of the maturity levels in this topic are astounding. Thankfully, this service is striving to bring back the community aspect, and the hopeful "***** about everyone else" aspect of the newer jk1 gaming scene can be avoided. Bring up the maturity, dev-logan. I thought you people were more respectable than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IJM-Dragonfire Posted March 14, 2002 Share Posted March 14, 2002 if i'm not mistaken.. Proving Grounds , the ladder/tournament host backing #Usetheforce is hosting a dedicated server for JKO. #Usetheforce is NOT a zone organization of clans, nor do we endorse the MSN Gaming Zone or any other Webpage based gaming server. if you wanna talk fast dedicated servers, ProvingGrounds/#Usetheforce WILL have them on T-Lines.

IJM-Dragonfire Posted March 15, 2002 Share Posted March 15, 2002 no db, no one in the chat has posted. the point of going to that channel was to find genetix. it seems has if he and his friends believe that we plan on hanging out in the small community based Jedi Knight II rooms hosted on the zone. genetix, we dont limit ourselves to things that small. we are not the type to sit in a dead game room and chat about how we 'raped' people over the years and how totally 'elite' we are at a game. we dont marvel over our own self and the only thing we were ever good at which happened to be a video game hosted on a site for life living rejects. since legacy, myself, and all the other participants of the #Usetheforce community aren't like that, that leads me to believe that someone on this forum is. its uncalled for, for you to get upset at some of us getting organized with one of the top and most known ladders in Unreal Tournament for Jedi Knight. if you cant handle the community that plans on playing Jedi Outcast, then why dont you stay in narshadda and tell the newbies about how good you used to be like you have for the past 4+ years. I am the best nf gunner of all time - Genetix/Logan lets marvel over our own self a little more after being caught cogging a game that means so much to you, yet so little to others. my point is hence made. http://usetheforce.n2v.net Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeathBoLT Posted March 15, 2002 Share Posted March 15, 2002 it seems has if he and his friends believe that we plan on hanging out in the small community based Jedi Knight II rooms hosted on the zone. was this an assumption made by mistake or are you just adopting legacy's debate style of pull 'facts' out of your ass as you go? genetix + mat said nothing even remotely resembling a suggestion that the community should be on the zone. they just merely commented how your irc community is ****ty. we are not the type to sit in a dead game room and chat about how we 'raped' people over the years and how totally 'elite' we are at a game. we dont marvel over our own self and the only thing we were ever good at which happened to be a video game hosted on a site for life living rejects. since legacy, myself, and all the other participants of the #Usetheforce community aren't like that, that leads me to believe that someone on this forum is. Listen, you can sit here and bull**** just about everyone on this forums who don't even know who the hell you are, but anyone who knows you isn't buying it. Legacy is everything you just described and then some, and you're not that far behind him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
