| Clan Rules / Member Requirements |
Note
Please read and accept our «evolved Systems][Clan Rules» to get an idea what we expect from our members, especially if you are interested in joining our clan.
Back to top |
| |
01. About the «evolved Systems][Clan Rules»
01.1 These rules are created by the clan leaders and discussed to protect themselves and all members of the clan. These rules are meant to inform the members and other interested people, who we are, what we do accept and what we do not accept.
02.2 The following clan rules must be accepted and respected by all members (warriors, team leaders, clan leaders and tryouts).
Back to top |
| |
02. Minimum Age
Because our members are generally a bit older, we decided not to recruit people below 18. There may be exceptions but usually not. If your acceptance within the clan is well enough and you can actively participate, it should not be a problem to make exceptions as well.
Back to top |
| |
03. Nationality
We are an European clan and we want to keep it like that. If you are located outside Europe such as USA or Canada, we are sorry to say that you will not be able to join our clan. Again, there can be excpetions but usually not.
Back to top |
| |
04. Be fair, be cool
03.1 While playing games with others than the clan you have to consider that it is only a game and therefore members should see that in the same way. Keep your calmness and show that you stand above problems which you experience while playing or experience inside the clan.
03.2 Be respectful of others, and other will be respectful to you in return.
Back to top |
| |
05. Position in Clan / Ranking / Responsibility
04.1 Clan leader(s) and team leader(s): The function of being a leader is to be responsible for the clan members as much as reasonable possible.
04.2 Webmaster: The function of the Webadmin is to take care about the web site, all its available features and maintaince within the web site. Furthermore, the webmaster will take actions if the web site rules get abused.
04.3 Server Admins: The function of Server Admins (Game Servers, TeamSpeak Server etc.) is to be responsible for the server configuration, availability and stability of these services.
04.4 Clan War Organizer: The function of being the clan war organizer is to be responsible for getting in touch with other clans. Another task is to organize clan wars and to inform the clan about upcoming events.
04.5 Warrior: The function of a warrior is to stay regularly in touch with the clan, to come up with good ideas and solutions wherever you think it is necessary and to participate in battles to protect and to assist the clan. A warrior is able to improve the team play, help to find possible strategies, to share experience and to improve the clan life. A warrior should be able to look for flaws within the clan and look for ways to fix problems. This is an important aid for the leaders and the whole clan! Furthermore, since providing all the «eS][Clan» services is not free of charge, we would like to encourage the members to regularly donate money. If you cannot donate, we expect that you contribute in another way.
04.6 Recruit: The function of a recruit is basically the same as the function of a warrior. Furthermore, we like to see that the recruits spend some time to get used to our clan, our rules and behaviour within and outside the clan. We also would like to see that recruits become a valuable help for the clan and learn new skills which will help the clan to further grow and expand.

| |
06. Membership
05.1 A member usually is not allowed to be active in 2 or more clans because we are trying to build up a decent squad. We need active members within this clan and not somewhere else.
05.2 The changing of your screen name while active in the clan is generally prohibited. But if you have a good reason to change your nick name, speak with a clan leader. Also, use the tag on public medians like IRC or similar open chat rooms. On private medians like MSN or ICQ there is no clan tag needed.
05.3 Recruits must have a modified clan tag, «eS-t][NickName», to indicate their status to everyone during their recruiting phase. Note that the whole recruiting procedure can vary quite a lot depending on your attitude, skills, contributions etc. and also if you have found the right clan for yourself. During the first 1 or 2 weeks, you will be invited to participate within our training sessions so we can take a look at each other first and get used to each other. After that, depending on the outcome, you either will become a recruit which means that you have crossed one of the most important phase during the whole recruitment procedure. We then will take another look which is about another week or 2 until we decide if you become full member or not.
05.4 The above guideline to become a member at the «eS][Clan» may not apply to everyone. If we know people well enough already, this procedure can be quite different.
05.5 Recruits must use their last screen name as the nick name unless discussed with a clan leader.
05.6 Full members or recruits who leave the clan must remove the clan tag.
Note:
- Leaders, clan members and recruits are all equal (we are all humans)
- You are not allowed to share usernames, passwords and other personal data of any clan member!

07. Behaviour within the Team / Clan
06.1 If you are unable to make a clan meeting, training session, clan war, or other clan activity, you must notify your clan leader or team leader early enough (the earlier the better)!
06.2 During a match (clan war or otherwise) all members will not leave the match until the round is finished. You must play until the round is over even if you are losing. If you are having problems with lag or your connection you may leave but only if that is the case. It is simply impolite to leave a match without playing it till it ends.
Back to top |
| |
08. Team / Training / Meeting Rules
07.1 Regular participation on clan meetings, training sessions, and matches are important for the clan livelihood and yourself while being part of the «eS][Clan». Note, that the meetings are mandatory. If you do not make a meeting, please inform a clan leader early enough.
07.2 It is important to appear early enough (at least 5 minutes) before a meeting (training, clan meeting, clan wars and similar competitions) in the clan channels (MSN, IRC, TeamSpeak). If a member is too late or even absent without a valid excuse, they will not have to worry about not being in a squad for battles!
07.3 Training is important and you have to take it seriously. Do not shoot around like a berserk. Try to learn and practice strategies and help others to improve their game play. When someone is explaining or showing something do not chat, speak or fool around.

| |
09. Self-control & Offences
08.1 Offences against members, tryouts, clans and other players on servers are not accepted unless there is a good reason for them. Stay calm and be friendly in every situation even if there is a reason not to act in such a manner. Remember, you are a part of our clan and therefore responsible for the reputation of the clan as long as you are full member or tryout and using the clan tag.
08.2 If you attack / offend any member or other player because of ethical, religious, or political reasons, you are no longer allowed in the clan. Do not argue with your fellow members because of antipathy and personal misunderstandings between members during a training session or match. There are other possibilities to solve problems like that. In case of doubt you should try to back down for the community's sake. If the members cannot find a solution for the problem, they should speak with the clan leaders or team leaders so they get a chance to solve the problem and make a decision.

10. No Cheats & using Exploits of Flaws!
09.1 Cheating is using any help like aimbots, invisible player hacks and other skin hacks, wall hacks, SET command cheats (TCCs), FOV cheats and all other unofficial changes which give a player advantages.
09.2 Using advantages of known flaws, for example maps where you can go behind walls, above the skybox and / or below terrains are not welcomed to use but we would like to know those maps with such problems to recognise players who take advantages out of it or to remove it.
09.3 All of the above cheats are strictly forbidden, therefore not accepted and will be punished without a second thought.

| |
11. Recruiting
10.1 All members can recommend new players to join the clan but they are not allowed to affiliate new players. That is a decision of the clan leaders. Use our forum or other medians to announce them.
10.2 Before the affiliation of a new player, all members should vote (at least as many as possible) for or against them after the recruiting phase. This will help us to decide if you are eligible to become a full member.
Back to top |
| |
12. Complaints / Excision of Members
11.1 All members have the right to complain about another member. In case of massive violation of the clan rules every member has the right to ask about an excision of this member. The decision will be made by a voting of all members (at least as many as possible).
11.2 In case of problems, the clan leaders will punish the suspected person by excision of the clan.
11.3 Any excision of members will be permanent.
Back to top |
| |
13. Inactive Members
12.1 Members who are inactive for an extensive period of time (few weeks) without a valid excuse can be kicked after a voting of the members. We will not kick any member who got a reason for being inactive of course. It is important that the clan knows what is going on with the members!
