Clans in a roleplay server.

Glad you brought this up. As far as AV is concerned, we won't force the tag on you. To be even more clear, if you approach our managers and leaders and bring a valid reason as to why you'd like to be tag less, they'll give you the permission(this has been done before). You are free to wear the AV tag when you're done with whatever it is you're doing but to become tag less atleast take the courtesy of asking the leaders.

Now, as far as clans in a whole is concerned, I don't think they're supposed to have a roleplay background. They're supposed to represent a lot more, it's fine if they do have a roleplay background but if the don't that doesn't make them wrong. I think they clan that are labeled as officials will allow you to switch your tag around if you have a reasonable reason.

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.

That's true. Though a lot of people don't look at it that way, for a lot of people their tag as said before displays their honour or pride for their clan/group. We probably wouldn't have a tag for HR if we weren't an MC, as members of outlaw motorcycle clubs patches are quite easily read, which is why we have the {HR} tag ingame. So I think it does matter, for groups like us wanting to be a part of such clans and having to choose between a tag with a roleplay backstory or a clan-tag.

I didn't know that, I'm glad to hear that's a policy that AV has much alike WS as well. I'm all for clans, they have never had roleplay backing and that's absolutely fine. What I'm against though is clans forcing you out of Roleplay groups because they want you to wear their tag. As for the official tag switching, I haven't heard of that but am definitely interested if that's a thing, then we can pretty much put this to rest.

I think any group, RP or non, should not be forcing you to wear a tag.
Though, as we say where I'm from: "you pays your money and you takes your choice"

Contact me in RP by payphone, use codename 'N U K E   P R O O F   D O O R', arrange a meeting at Arco Del Oeste and bring one million dollars in a professionally roleplayed tweed suitcase and who knows? Maybe you'll leave with a very trendy AV clantag to benefit you in the 'roleplay realm'. 

[Bogomil]

Totally disagree. We're looking for better changes, this one is useless and not required.

When people have a firsname lastname format in their name and you are in a roleplay server then it will give you the mentality that you need to roleplay. If I did not have that I would not feel compelled to roleplay in the same way. It is a mentality in the roleplay community. You cant say you want to give Argonath a roleplaying theme 100% while you do not give it 100% yourself.

Nah. If you have mentallity that you want to roleplay you will do it with or without firstname_lastname. One has to be really unstable to have his mind and mentallity affected by an ingame tag.

I agree (except the instable bit). A roleplay is a roleplay no matter what the name is.

I don't know how mentally stable can a person be if their mentallity is affected by an ingame name format. Im not calling any names, just saying.

Clans are useless shitfucks on a roleplay server. Gather a Skype group or whatever you use and hang around with your mates when you get the chance to if that's what your striving for to do. Argonath seek for new players, yet again, all you do is losing and you get players to skip Argonath by having such an enormous majority of swollen boils playing around with clans (seriously, clans on a roleplay server) and other counterproductive nonsense which maintains a pretty dorky general production of Argonath's progress.

Gather a Skype group

The last time this happened the biggest clusterfuck was created

[Ben.]

People here worry too much about what other people are doing.

Clans started because players wanted clans. While people want to be in clans, clans will continue.

[Cofiliano]

I've never understood the point of existence of roleplay clans on a roleplay server, except having friends, and I agree with Que about it.

Tho I don't think people should be forced to remove the tags, because that's their choice, and it wouldn't be fair for anyone to force them to do that.

I would on the other hand make a compromise that keeps Argo unique, and yet makes things a bit realistic, with having a clan and first name surname in it, like;

[AV]John_Huston, [Rstar]Stan_Johnson, etc.

Then maybe you (or w/e else doing the group) should get better friends.
Been using Skype all my time playing and it never went to ape shit.

[Liviu.]

Because you roleplay with the nametags not with the people.
