[PROP] Trial Membership?
Hey guys,
TheJFX posted something in the applications topic which gave me this idea. How about after somebody is accepted, we put him into a special trial period where we'd check if he's "DP material", that is, a constructive member of our little society. If he's not, auto-kick.
Thoughts?

I want Death Plague to carry more weight in Toribash in general. The way we currently operate just doesn't reflect how we are an important oldschooler clan. Look at RelaxAll, Urban and the like. When players see one of their members ingame they shit bricks, and weep for an autograph. Hell, we are older than some of the big clans today (I remember JollyR being inofficial the same time we were, for example).
The best way to do this is to filter people. Now since we don't have the luxury of a huge quality manpower pool to draw from like the others, we have to recruit a lot of people to filter from, but that didn't work out too well the last time either (we got watered down), so to avoid such failure, we have to draw a line between ourselves and the newcomers. The clan inside a clan concept would help us achieve just that. It wouldn't be like "Hey, there's a guy from DP acting like a retard", but rather "Look at that stupid trainee - he won't make it into DP.". See the difference? We just went from nooby shit clan for recruiting newbies to über pro clan just by separating ourselves from the masses.

I've thought about that a lot. I just didn't want to present it because it sounds really discriminative against new comers, but I do agree with you. I just don't want to sound like a douche about it, but I guess that it does have to happen if we want to be considered a respectable clan.
oh yeah
