Conquer Club

Posted: **Wed Oct 24, 2007 11:00 am**

Purpose

The general purpose of the foundry clan would to have an area where cartographers can express and discuss wider issues and intrests which the current foundry does not currently accomodate. Areas such as XML, special ideas and graphics design in general (e.g. tutorials, tips and tricks).

Please note that this clan will not be as a place for map development to take palce out of foundry view.

Membership

At the moment anyone with a quenched map will be unconditionally accepted as a member.

Dont have a quenched map?do not fear!

Once there is a sufficinet* number of core members, all applicants without a quenched map will go through an application procedure. Your applications will be posted within the clan forum where you will be discussed by the current members in the following areas:

1. Are you a foundry regular?
2. Have you made positive contribuion to the foundry.?
3. Do you have a map in production? How far in production is it?

If a general agreement is not made on your application after a reasonable amont of time. it will be put up to a three day poll**. Where the final decision is made.

Sound fun? Then what are you waiting for? Apply today!

*Once the clan is up and running with its minimum 9 members needed to apply for the clan.
**In the case of a tie the clan moderator will hold a standing vote
-----------------------------------------------------------
***UPDATE***

all applicants with maps in final forge will be accepted

-----------------------------------------------------------
***UPDATE***

I now have 12 names for the pole. So i will be taking no more entries.

Poll will be up within the next 10minutes.

***UPDATE***

i was typing in another thread at the same time as gimil:

DiM wrote:here's more thought into this whole clan thing.

IDEAS BEHIND THE CREATION OF THE CLAN:

1. some people here setup test games for xml features and stuff like that. for example i have played games with yeti_c coleman and gimil to test yeti_c's version of BOB. games that could have been easier setup and discussed in a dedicated thread. but making a thread like that in the foundry would be kinda hard because lots of people would come by and post unrelated things.

2. i have ideas of maps even i think are too outrageous. i discuss them via pm or mail with other people but if i had a place where to post them it would be great. a place where map makers and foundry regulars can post about my ideas without strangers coming and posting crap.

3. i will start a business of making posters (soon i hope) and i'd like to put them in a thread and get advice from people that know photoshop. i can't put them in the foundry because i'd be offtopic and i can't put them in the clubhouse because a guy that never used photoshop could say they're great but a skilled map maker could point out potential flaws and even give solutions.

4. and last but not least it would be a great way to meet fellow map makers setup games and chat.

5. the foundry will not deteriorate because i assume andy cairns and coleman will also be a part of this clan and they won't allow anybody to make a map and then put it in the foundry and ask for quenching. the map will still have to go through the whole process.

RANKS:

i for one don't quite like rank based clans unless all the ranks are funny stuff. so no military type divisions and ranking and shit like that.

of course we need a few mods (i nominate the same guys we have in the foundry)

ADMISSION:

1. anybody that has a map quenched or in FF is automatically admitted
2. all other applications are submitted to the whole clan and after voting the application is rejected or accepted. there are plenty of foundry regulars that deserve to be in this clan but that doesn't mean that every guy that posted once in the foundry should be accepted.
3. all members can belong to other clans.

anyway i'm in.

I want to put forward my application, why?

1) I help all around this forum, from positive reply's to just screw with the mapmaker
2) I have sorta a map, but you guys hate it because its made in Paint (you hardly see that)
3) You need someone to win to.

Posted: **Wed Oct 24, 2007 11:42 am**

Oohhh a clan. Me too please.

I'd like to be considered for this clan. I have a few ideas, but I'm not very good with the GIMP, so that's why I'm hesitant to post them. Also, my involvement in the clan will hopefully lead me to being a map-maker, but I'm not sure how that'd work out.

But anyways, I'd like to be considered, mainly as someone who can help test with new ideas/gameplay. I also think that I do contribute to the foundry.
