Question

[Kalm]

If i was not part of these clans : TKB, THZ, XMEN, S&M,BRO
then could i still join?

[SmackDab]

I think there are procedures for joining via a to be agreed upon ATF charter.

I'd suggest joining one of the mentioned teams for the easiest way in.

There will however, be a way to join the ATF without belonging to a subgroup, if that is what you wanted to do.

./me plugs TKB :)

[Spinning Hat]

SmackDab hit the nail on the head Kalm. Your best bet is to join an associative tribe, but there is a way to join as a "Lone Gun" of sorts. The Leadership Council would have a vote on admission a while after you apply here, and it would need to be a 3/4 majority for admission.

On the flip side to that, joining a member clan gives you automatic admission to ATF, which by it's nature is a guild, and not a tribe. But we would welcome you either way, really. The more the merrier. ;)

[Kalm]

aight thx.

I just want to be sure that i am playing with cool people (aka tribers)
So how do i go about joining one of the tribes in the "association" :D

[SmackDab]

Just pick what ever team you like and ask them the way you get into their team.

[Ghryphen]

The links to the main tribes in ATF are listed on the front page in the left column.

[Freebird]

Oh man, I was about to write "what front page?" when I finally found it. The main thing I have linked is the forum pages. DOH!

[PsychomanX]

BTW

[TKB] is the best yo.. LOL

Really all clans are great.. Wherever you go you will be with good group of people..

Stay away from the founders of S&M they are real asses.. Oh wait I am one.. yeah.. uhmm.......... ok then just stay away from me.. The other S&M guys are cool..

[Spinning Hat]

LOL! You'll really find a good group of people with all groups. I've been with the XMEN for little under 3 years, and I
ve had fun every minute of it.

[SmackDab]

XMEN in Dallas right?

If so we're gonna have to LAN some time. Bunch of TKB down here in Houston yo!

[Spinning Hat]

You all missed the XMEN MegaLAN in October... :( I live i MN, and I been there all 3 yrs. Dunno if we're gonna do it again next year.

lol, a UR bigger than your head :lol:

[Spinning Hat]

That would be fun to play T2 on Big Screen like that.

[Freebird]

That's not Smack pointing at the screen, that's darb (and if I'm seeing correctly, it looks like Shiner is looking on with Smack Dab chilling on the couch).

HEY, that's a T2 UE error on da big screen too!! Go figure... ;)

[PsychomanX]

Yeah that is Darb. He is like 80% ogre. HEHE I am 6'2" 260lbs and when I went out to Colorado last march I met him and waldo and I must say Darb is huge guy.. Like 6'5" and I wont guess his weight.

That is smack's 65" TV.. Man I wish I could have made it this year..



I do think there is a difference in GTG passtimes between Xlan and TKBlan.. Just look at this picture to see what I mean.

Just think how big the lan could get with THZ, TKB, and XMEN. Then all of us get online with planetside and attack from smacks Roadrunner business account.. WOOT.

[Spinning Hat]

Yeah d00d, that would r00l! Drunken rampage on PS! I think we'd bring that connection to it's knees tho, with 50-60 guys on it...

[SmackDab]

It's got a good 384K upload, that will sometimes burst up to 500K and above.

Any idea on how much paketsize PS is supposed to take up?

With Tribes1 and 2 we were able to get a good 16 or so people playing with upload like that. That and that's all the ports I have on the LAN hubs....heh

[PsychomanX]

smack anyone at lan live in your neighborhood? Have them also bring their router over and T the cable connection off. As long as the router is supposed to be on that same switch it should work from your house too.. Then have your connection and theirs from your cable.. HEHE

[PsychomanX]

or just charge a small fee at the door and for that month have roadrunner upgrade your accounts bandwith limits.. You can do that right?

20 people $5 a head is $100 more..

[Spinning Hat]

That'd be some serious bandwidth for an extra $100....

[DaRB]

hey, stop showing pix of me and my beer w/o asking first foo, i'm sensitive that way!!

/me holds out hand for royalty payments.

[DaRB]

btw pman, i'm 6'6, 300lbs...
