Hmmm... I was just thinking if we would make a mini-clan on battle.net.
Its not like a major clan like (U) or anything, just a small tag that shows that you're a freelancer map maker who comes here.
Tags would be like "Name[SEN]"
I'd essentally be Yoshi[SEN].
I like it because its a more personal touch to this website.
There are no requirements to put the tag in your name. Its for UMS lovers of all types.
Yay or Ney?
that tag is sexy

could we be in another clan too?
If you want, sure. Just slap the [SEN] at the end of your name. Although, its up to your clan leaders if they WANT you to participate (having 2 tags is a lot). Plus, your name might not fit.
i dont think my clan would mind neway this has nothing to do with dodgeball

and sum of my other clan members r in other clans

YaY...Sounds good..But people Start asking
"Whats SEN".."Sausage eating newts?"
so um...Well...maybe..
blah i)D(devilesk[SEN] is too big by two characters so i jsut made devilesk[SEN]
Scorpion[SEN] Sounds ok...i guess...But only for East..West is My homeland...I can't desert my XX-Scorpion-XX account
Scorpion[SEN]...hehe..HEHH...HAHAHAHA

Sounds good, I might join.

I made a new name a while ago, I add [SEN] to that
For one clan:

Come on people its FREEDON, Join SEN as SEN wants you!....lol
hey sen backwards is nes...nintendo entertainment system

i would, but i dont play sc
kool wut will the cahnnel b? ill b Silent[SEN]

Seeming as i am the only person who voted No, i guess i should explain myself.
With free admission it is pointless to have a leader. Basicly the requirements would be to have an acount and unless your banned from staredit.net then you wouldn't be banned from the clan. Besides keeping track of members in any since would be a pain in the ass.
Also creating a special tag for all the SEN members only gives a target for hate. Clans get enemies all the time, As a clan leader you persoanly get blamed for everything negitive any clan members do witch means every time someone with the [SEN] tag insults some one elses you get complaints about it, or a spammed channel. If you don't enmies then your clan leader must personaly deal with all situations sometimes with threats of banning members . The clan would become known as a newb clan or something similer. The leader would be overwelmed and there wouldn't be any honor in being a member other than the fact your promoting the webpage.
Of course you could make a memeber ranking system to make members have pride in being a higher ranked member but then that just starts to piss people off as well. Lower ranked members are upset for not being higher, higher ranked members feel supeiour to the lower ranked members and misstreat them. Then you get circumstances of people requesting there rank be increased or they quit and crap like that.
I think altogether an offical clan is BAD IDEA. I think going any further than putting "staredit.net presents" on your map and haveing an offical channel is over doing it.
A tag without honor can only hold hate, so your better of not haveing a tag at all. If you trust my judgement as a former clan leader at all do not create this clan.
I hit 'nah' because i could never have the account @:@[SEN]
and
what bolt said is actually true.
If you ever get on Battle.net you are opening a door for people to attack you with spam bots or loads (and you know they will eventually)
you should be blessed that your main community consists of a website forum and an easily static channel (moveable) because of this, any haters would never be able to touch you. Unless they are extreme hackers,(which none are on bnet b/c if ur that good then u have better stuff to do) and hack ur site.
MY 2 dollars or 2 cents... w/e its worth to you
Rankings really do piss people off and such so I am with Bolt saying I'm against it... but anyway, I don't really like the whole tag and such because you would need to refriendilize people on your list and then llamas might join up.
I prefer something that shows what you are most proficient in. Let's say you are best with terrain, you could have a "terrain artist" thing in your profile. Of course you do not have to be the best out of anyone with terrain. It would only say what trait is the best out of you.
EDIT: Why is this thread in general gaming? Should'nt it be in Serious Discussion?
Here's the condtions for me joining
- I'd be Vindexus, not Vindexus[SEN]
- It was only one channel where people could come to help other people test maps, that's all I want in a clan
- It would be someone exclusive, so that people dont' join the clan and ask you test to test a map and then they're like "How come I my kills trigger wont stop giving me minerals"
Could we at least have a channel on USWest and USEast? Just kind of a hangout for people from here.
It's ultimately just for fun if you seek unity of some sort. He never said there would really be anything official about it just that you can get on the name if you love playing UMS or making them.

But then again, this is my opinion and compared to others right now.. it has a slim chance of seeing day light.. and other users are doing this out of there free will.. so .. B)
I voted no for various reasons pertaining to (U)Bolt_Head's post, he pointed out some obvious clan problems...
Also, when you stated "you're a freelancer map maker", why don't we keep it that way not only to avoid clan wars, Ops downage and flooding but to preserve Op StarEdit.net and save yourself the frustration of leading a clan with no established system.
Clans = Devided people.
Clans = Some

s who just want to make SEN a bad reputation.
Clans = Nothing new to SEN.
I'm not making the same error twice

edit -- just read Bold's post: resumes pretty much anything there's to say...
I said, its NOT a real clan. Theres no structure or requirements involved whatsoever.
Hmm, well it has its ups and downs. I'd probably join, but my TFC server has issues and I have to watch it to make sure no ones doing anything bad. Plus I've kinda fallen away from SC.
If it is not a real clan don't have a tag. People associate tags with clans, I feel like this clan thing is an attempt at advertising. Problem is I think it will drag in too much negitive advertising. Just how I was talking about clans getting enimies SEN could have the same thing happened.
Some one who finds sen though a person they do not like would assume everyone there is like that. Were already a community, we do not need to lable it on battle.net. I think the you should do is keep the channel open 24/7, maybe promote it here on the website. Then, like now people can just say Staredit.net on there maps they make.
And yoshi, the fact that it has no structure only makes it worse.
LoL since my post 2 people have voted for it and 6 against.
