Clans in a roleplay server.

[TiMoN]

Then also stop trolling. Thats the reason the player base is at 4/200 and nothing else.

You need some sarcasm detection lessons.

There are far more important things to do for the server than removing clans or clan tags.

And you need some lessons to avoid sarcasm. Your point could simply be stated in one post, but yet have been spread over two posts. This causes the ignorance and the possible flamewars between players: misunderstanding.

As for the idea suggested in the main post: no need to remove the clan tags. Everything is just fine as it is since it has been around since ages (2006). There is no need to change an existing thing for the sake of 'more' roleplay since roleplay should be normal in clanless people as for people actually in a clan. Clan tags are there to show the pride about being a part of a clan.

If people dont see us roleplaying doesnt mean we do not roleplay at all. We in White Shadows and multiple players roleplaying multiple roles. Cops gangsters mafias farmers and so on. I joined the server yesterday and in 1 hour i had two small but enjoyable roleplays so please think before you post.

He means that you don't roleplay between yourselves, I mean one WS guy is cop, one is farmer, one is Mexican ganster etc. Yet you never roleplayed as a clan.

And to all of you clan guys in this topic, pretty much everyone knows that name tags are there for prestige, it's like wearing a medal.

I personally don't think having a clan tag restricts or hinders your roleplay opportunities at all, people should be allowed to wear their clan tags proudly to express what group they're in because it lets them be identified as something bigger than themselves, a group of friends, a gathering of people with similar interests, a clan. If you believe that having a clan tag limits roleplay possibilities why don't you ask clan members for their opinion on the matter? I myself haven't had my roleplay hindered in any way since I've put a clan tag on. If anything it's made me more excited and confident to explore new and different avenues of roleplay.

You dont have to roleplay together while in clan. This a true friendship between players who really respect each-other. They help each other, they hang-around and roleplay aswell. I dont know any families around me in real life who really do everything always together and its forced.
Tag - who even cares what kind of tag you wear or whatever, this is username guys? If you roleplay, you have your own roleplay-name anyway. If i see a person in real-life first time, do i really know his name instantly?

You've missed the point entirely, some of the best roleplayers we have and have had have come from clans, I've been saying that clans have no roleplay baseline/purpose as a whole group as other families and factions do.

I agree, and you deserve that freedom to roleplay as everydone does. Normal families in real life are quite different from families of the mob which most families are trying to portray here haha. In saying that, "who even cares what kind of tag you wear" why can't that logic be implied in clans, why wear the tag? Why can't you be in the clan and be tag-less, it would be the same thing right? I'm just saying, it's a situation players are and can be faced with and I personally think we should allow players freedom of choice to wear whichever tag they wish from which group/clans they are in.

Clans are not intended for roleplay purposes. It's more of a social thing. The thing that makes Argonath unique is the sense of community.

I agree with Stof, though i agree with Leon too..

OT: Any derailment of this topic will be rewarded a forum warning, keep this topic clean.

I agree, that is right.

That's the point I'm making, it's fine to have/be in a clan, community is what this is all about. I'm not attacking clans at all if anything I would love to be a part of one but I have the dilemma I am talking about where I'd have to choose between my roleplay group {HR} and the clans tag.

I might've came off a little harsh and douchey so to say in my first posts saying removal of all clan tags etc, I do respect the fact that many players wish to wear their clan name with honour as do most with group names/tags. I also recognise the problem of people having the same honour or dedication for their group, not being able to have any place in most clans because of rules on having the name tag. I simply would just like to see players having the freedom to be in a clan and a group but not being forced to wear the clans tag.

After all, community is what it's about. Why exclude people from clans just because they don't want to wear the clans tag in a roleplay server? The tag could be used on other games and servers, there isn't just sa:mp. I also don't believe that allowing tagless members if they choose to be would impact any clans or the community at all.

I agree with this. I do not think it seems right to new players joining the server when we call ourselves a roleplaying server. Displaying tags is actually taking us further from being a roleplaying server. What you can do is bind your username to a specific account and enable people to make different characters linked to your account. So let's say your name is still [Rstar]Julio or whatever and you join the server with that name, you will be taken to a character selection screen and when you tab you rather receive like a roleplayish firstname lastname format and you'll see your name like that when you're tabbing, but as soon as you turn on your aduty or whatever your name changes to your username. And as soon as you speak in public chat your name will be shown as [Rstar]Julio too.

[Whiteman]

I agree, loose the stupid tags and use roleplay names.

What are you talking about?

Anyway, it doesnt matter what is your name above your skin is. This is just username. NOBODY dont know your role play name before asking it via roleplay. My username is [Rstar]Carbon but my roleplaying name has been for years (since 2009) Frank Tenpenny.

Nah bruv

Nah. I'll keep the tag, thank you for your suggestion tho.
