Clan aEp has proposed a merging between them and Mp). Personally, I wouldn't have a problem. This is the second merge Mp) would be going through in it's history. The first one turned out quite well, but it's going to be your decision if you want a merge or not. Vote yes/no, please vote on the poll, then post an reply to confirm you are an Mp) Member. If you are an Mp) member, please do not vote, post a reply instead.

I don't think there is any way to confirm if an Mp) member voted or not. I recommend every Mp) member has to reply. Or do a manual vote.

i have no problem with this merge, i think its good for both clans

Manual Vote on Battle.NeT would probably be the best, since not all the Mp) members register here

I think the merge would be a good idea, it would definetely be a good course for Mp) and aEp.

I guess only way you can find out is to try it =) different things can happen for different clans.

if you merge, do we still keep the Mp) tag? if yes then i dont have a problem.
but they have to participate in map making.

I think two things, mainly. First, every member should be tested for activity and skill. They must at least have basic knowledge of mapmaking, which the leaders can outline. They must be actively mapmaking and active on BNet. Second, I believe the tag should be something that is voted and agreed upon. aEp is a very old tag, as is Mp). I might add, I would prefer to aEp tag, but I am getting ahead of myself. Although neither clan are exactly as they were when created, they still maintain the same sort of reputation they had at that time. I also believe the rules from both clans should be "reviewed" and editted to where they will agree with each other.

I will say, here and now, that both clans will be drastically changed if this merge does happen. Mp) will not be the same Mp), and aEp will not be the same aEp.

Hopefully for the better...

The tag isn't what we have to worry about right now. For all we know, we could combine the two tags, maybe something like MeP[ ]. Though I'd suggest using Mp) because I think we have a more stable clan channel, yeow and minigame can hold 24/7 ops, and yeow refreshes every now and then. Wouldn't want his work to go to waste .

I agree with skill and activity testing, but it really shouldn't be too hard. There's a reason a member is able to join Mp)/aEp, and it's not hard to remember if a member has been on or not.

The rules of our clans are pretty..straight forward. Most of it is common sense to ensure the "friendliness" of our clans.

Map Engineering Productions!

Moogle Evil Platoon, muhahaha kidding. Ya well leave tag till lata. O.o first you have work out if your going merge MP/AE. (Sporky music plays) anywoot hope all works out.

I would have no problems with the merge, but as most you know I am having very little time to go online and map make but I do when I do get a chance.

Lol It seem alot of people want this merge to happen Maybe its best for both to do of course theres always that maybe

It would be cool, aMp... Advanced Map Producers!

but what about tradition?
and why would the leader want to change the rules if were ok?

I don't see a problem with a merge.

And yes I actively make maps -_-
(psst: Please LoK. You know you want to. Seek topic in "maps in production" for details)

this merge is a good idea and i like the new name voyager suggested

There would be a new channel. Although you say Yeow and Minigame could handle a channel the best, I will tell you here and now I maintain more than one on my own and run DSL, 24/7. I can also create clan channels on my own, so making a new one won't be a problem.

The number one thing I am suggesting is that all members be retested, excluding co-leaders and leaders for Mp) and vice-chancellors and chancellors for aEp—since we're running the show.

If our clan name were to be Map Engineering Productions, what sort of "tags" would y'all like to have? Fortune]M), for example, would be my first choice. I also thing the clan name should drop "productions," thus leaving us known as the "Map Engineers."

well I think it comes down to fortune and sniper.. and ultimo ^.^. I don't think the memebers in Mp will have any problems. and aep and mp would be a really good clan together.

my opinion, i decline the merge

Well that was..unexpected. How come Mini?

mE[Ultimo]. o_O aP[Ultimo] Ap]Ultimo[ mE]Ultimo.

Hmm, I kinda like mE]Ultimo. We could add a ] or [ to the end. The cool thing about having the tag in front is everyone is automatically aligned up, and it looks cool. o_O I dunno, we'll talk about it once we get to that crossroad.

New Idea: "Advanced Mappers," the tag could be something along the lines of aM)Fortune, aM]Fortune, aM[Fortune]. I think this is a good mix of both of the old clans tags. The clan name is also sort of catchy, if you ask me.

well for one thing... i dont think 25 active members would like this idea including Mp)Akima and Mp)3.
and what fortune is saying we all have to retry out our leadership and members.
changing the tag up will probably not be a good idea to old members.

that bothers me...

do the math.
30 or more Mp) members > 10 aE members.

there will be alot of fighting some how.

really were just going to destroy tradition and Mp)3 dream to keep this clan alive once again... and Akima since he came late...

were map producers = Mp) and thats what our goal is....

thats all i can think of right now....

Well, if they don't agree, they don't agree. Don't worry about what they're going to think—worry about what you think. And so what if Mp) has more members? In any case, in the end it's Sniper's and your call, Minigame.

I might add, the leaders and co-leaders wouldn't have to tryout again; I already said that.

When 3 and akima see this post they will post their opinions. I'm positive there won't be any fighting between Mp) and aEp. The only history of any contraversy was really fortune vs 3D. The clans just got dragged in...

I think minigame meant that when we began mass recruiting, we really worried more about interest and basic knowledge instead of skill.
