an ibis mmo guild?

[DJ_MikeyRevile]

Yes, yet another crazy idea from mikey. This idea began growing when Maynard started an ibis guild in star wars, unfortunately people don't like that game as much as we expected but what if the ibis guild forbswtor was a universal guild that encompassed multiple mmos.
A guild that was active in Gw 2, Diablo lll, and other games.

Now it might sound stupid at first but when you look at the long term affects it could be very rewarding for this community. The biggest pitch ill make is that it would bring a lot more people to our community which would help it grow even more then it is now. Think of it as an ibis community expansion so to speak.

The current layout

The ibis guild would have its own website for raid, event and social planning.
I currently have such a site set up but am waiting on zeros approval before accepting people.

Forum rules would be hyper linked back to our home community forums ibisgaming and members would be required to register here and read our tos.

Is work with who ever is interested with creating rules specifically for the guild and in game, which ever game it may be.

Create a guild motto like, "IBIS, a CSS community who plays other games"

I'm on the bus and have to listen to loud as people. Losing my train of thought will update later.

There is still much to be.disscused revolving this idea, which is why posted it, for your suggestions.

Update: for those not directly involved with the guild, we could create sticky threads here links CSS players who enjoy these games to there respective guild page on the ibis guild planning site?
Also keep in mind, the website idea can be killed if zero volunteers to add sub forums for each game and an ibis guild catagory here on ibisgaming.com along with adding MMO organizing features

[Steamer]

Although I do like this idea, this is Zero's CS:S clan, and I would very much like to hear his thoughts about this.

IBIS guild in GW2? Fuck yea... Other than CS:S, that is were I will be spending my future time in gaming... Possibly D3... We shall see...

[maynard]

if you haven't noticed there's fuck all for people who play MMO's in this community, and half of the ones who do play with real life friends. no ones gonna commit 2 everytime they play a mmo, they play with the same people, it's just a dumb idea.

you leading anything with the ibis name, I'm against. you wana make your own ibis guild, go for it, but you're not clan and given you constantly fuck up when you drink and act like a meat head, you're not the person 2 be representing this clan and or community.

[Carmichal]

I LOL'd at "IBIS, a CSS community who plays other games"

I think we would have to a have strong following from our already established community for these mmo's first.

[Steamer]

Who said he was gonna lead it? I'm thinking of Zero making a multi-gaming spin off... Now that I think about it for a few minutes... That's a massive fucking amount of gaming and bullshit to control. Although a good leading idea, I'm not seeing how it would work out so well in the end.

Maynard you can lead the GW2 clan.. YOU WILL PLAY IT WITH ME! Honestly though, I would most likely join the GM side guild I am already in. =P

[maynard]

even if he doesn't want 2 lead it, it's still a whack Idea. we're a incredibly small group of people who play together, we don't need 2 try and make some universal bull shit for MMORPG's... more so when most of us aren't even playing star wars anymore.

and yes, I'll play with ya steamer ^^ ... but it wont be under any ibis tag.

[Steamer]

Ok, I'll invite you to my amazing guild then, more focused on PVP, while still focused on PVE and the moneys... :icon_mrgreen:

Ebay is glorious for selling digital goods to rich kids who's lives revolve around games.

[maynard]

sounds like a plan guy :wtg: :beer:

[Steamer]

Too far...

I do have beer though, some Bud... Don't really want to drink it, probably pick up a winter pack of Sam Adams. The black and brew coffee stout is fucking amazing and I prefer wheaty sweeter beers. Well, enough off topic.

[DJ_MikeyRevile]

you leading anything with the ibis name, I'm against. you wana make your own ibis guild, go for it, but you're not clan and given you constantly fuck up when you drink and act like a meat head, you're not the person 2 be representing this clan and or community.
when im not in control and have nothing to loss yes, but when it comes to having real responsibility its a whole different story. as of late it hasn't even been the way you described either, no where near it. Im 100% confident in my leadership abilities.

You do not have to be apart of the idea if you dislike it

Yes steamer, im aiming for zero's input more then anything as it is his community.

[maynard]

lol it's not just zero's clan or community, it's the clans clan. It's as much my clan, rapes, anex's and every other clan members as it is Zero's. and you might be 100% faithful in your abilities but you're the only person who is, so I could really care less. and given 2 weeks ago we had 2 discuss your drinking, it's hardly in the past or something that's not an issue... not 2 mention the week before that I was given a demo of you threatening 2 ban people just cause you were drunk... and 2 weeks before that you were getting complaints also lol....


You leading anything 2 do with IBIS will never happen. you wana make your own ibis guild, go for it, but you're not clan nor will take any leadership roll in this community till you actually are a clan member, and you're beyond a long fucking way from clan.

[BladeTwinSwords]

Well considering that i hate most mmos i'll pass.

[maynard]

Well considering that i hate most mmos i'll pass.

you sure it's not that most mmo's hate you?

[DJ_MikeyRevile]

Well considering that i hate most mmos i'll pass.

Who are you?

[BladeTwinSwords]

Who are you?

I'm the guy that was invited to assist in your Intervention.

[CYBER]

I'm the guy that was invited to assist in your Intervention.
lolled!

its a gd idea to see "IBIS" expand, under zero's and the clan's title of course... but too much expansion, is that the best thing we need now?
Zero's already in it over his head just barely supporting WCS and others ... can he handle the extra work? or would there be dedicated people representing him?...

I wish there was a dungeons defenders guild back when i used to play :P

[bloodwolfe]

I think we need more people like Zero if we going to expand, if Zero is too occupied with managing this CS:S clan, i doubt he can handle another game guild/clan unless one of us become the manager of it. I play many mmo's, mostly F2P and soon be retiring from WoW permanently once Diablo 3 has been released. If Zero allow it and appoint someone who has good leadership to manage under another ibis clan in a different game, then we can expand... IF he allows it.

[Steamer]

Very unlikely, unless it's Maynard. :icon_mrgreen:

[CYBER]

Very unlikely, unless it's Maynard. :icon_mrgreen:Agreed.Of all the people in clan, with respect to all the members, maynard is definitely the most active, a good face for IBIS.( im trying to suck up so that he loses the urge to abuse me one day:p)

[Rapedollar$]

if i found a game that i was interested in enough to start a clan, i can think of no other name than ibis to name it... so long as zero dosnt have a problem with it....

so....


BRING ME MOAR GAMES!

Lost of more games!!!
Multilayer Fallout 4
GW2
Diablo 3
BF3

[Steamer]

Sadly, I can recommend none worth the time. Also, I don't play many.

[taz1stP]

the only ones that i would see being worth a damn would be the bigger name ones but i think zero should have say over what is a pass and what is a fail

[DJ_MikeyRevile]

It's by no means my place to discuss ibis financial business but I'd suggest diving into games more seriously on zero and clans part that would increase potential revenue. Games with server and admin abilities. Then leave the mmos and other type games to just a social interaction between current and future ibis community members.

[maynard]

It's by no means my place to discuss ibis financial business.



so zero can barley handle the work load he has now, and you think he should start pushing into more games lol? for real?

beyond derp.

Zero's time is very limited... and doing more shit that doesn't have anything 2 do with IBIS CSS leaves him with less time for what actually matters, and that's CSS... we're a CSS community and CSS comes before anything else.

Zero barley has the time 2 fix WCS races, ZM issues and other shit that happens on a regular basis, this community which is doing Very well server traffic, admin sub and actual community member wise doesn't need 2 suffer so we can have a stupid BF3 server... not 2 mention we would have 2 take on a hole new wing for dealing with admin abuse in the other games, and all the drama that comes with a server and admins on it... and for what? a few more subs? you really think our CS community should have 2 deal with less of zero's time for something so miniscule?

there's also the fact that the majority of games that involve servers you can own and run are generally in the FPS genre... we're already a FPS community, so opening a buncha servers for other FPS's not only would make Zero have less time for dealing with what matters, but it would also mean that it would impact our server traffic and could shift a lot of our admins out of CSS, and into the other games which once again only hurts IBIS...

I'm simply making suggestions in regards to expanding. It dosnt need to be soley zero either, clan could volunteer to help expand if they wish to. For example, a little bit of logistic stuff for zero and the rest of the work for whoever wishes to have it. That person could then distribute some of there work load if there a busy person. At any rate, expansion would be awesome or at the very least the idea of it.

distribute what work load? Zero does all the programming, coding, behind the scenes shit, and I handle literally everything else that involves dealing with the community on a constant personal lvl, aside from what the ULA's contribute. Anex deals with ZM shit when he can and past that the rest of the clan just play when they get on and don't involve them self's with much else.. and that's fine, they have earned the right 2 do so as they are clan and can do whatever the hell they feel like...

If Zero was around all the time and did not have limited time, maybe it would make some small level of sense... but as the same time it still doesn't cause we're a CSS community, and proud of it as a lot of us are veteran's of the FPS world, and have been playing this game for ages...

it's dedicated communitys like us that keep CSS still 1 of the most played FPS's out there... We're a CSS community, doing anything that gives Zero less time 2 work on what matters (our already successful community) is beyond retarded.

The only expanding we should be worrying about is making more CSS servers. we already have a successful community, expanding our current success is clearly the smartest thing 2 do, and the easiest way for IBIS 2 continue 2 gain more revenue and bring in more community members. getting involved into some of the biggest games out there would only split this community into several directions, and in the long run hurt it.

and for the record, zero said he would be hosting a server for that FPS that's coming out down the way... I never played it and forgot what the hell it's called, but it's team based, and you can make shit in game and what not... I'm sure someone knows what I'm talking about. and that I can understand, cause it's not a main stream FPS that we're literally battling against. expanding into mainstream FPS's will hurt and devide this community.

[DJ_MikeyRevile]

I aggre with you but don't think starting guild in anmo some where or a server in bf3 would hurt. It could hurt if it was rushed but non of my suggestions are immediate and I'd think its safe to that we can all agree that any expansion would take a great deal of time.


Besides I'm sure zero has something juicy planned after all the wcs races are finished.

[maynard]

I told you, you can start whatever ibis guild you want where ever... but for it 2 be actually supported from this community, you would need 2 be a clan member... only clan get 2 rep the community and be the faces of it.

explain 2 me why you want 2 start some multi mmo guild with IBISgaming backing it, when you're being shipped out in like a month or 2? does that just not seem incredibly dumb 2 you and counter productive?

cause I said in my original posts that you can't be the face of it cause you're not clan, and if you were the face you would be repping this community and ultimately the clan.. and only clan have that right, and that's what seemed 2 piss you off, so you obviously want 2 be the one who runs it... so explain 2 me why this is a good idea... when you are in fact leaving for what I assume is 6 months - a year soon?

maybe your right, maybe making a BF3 server in the end wont hurt this community, BUT it will for sure cause a bigger work load and more shit for clan 2 worry about... and granted we already have a successful CSS community there is literally 0 need 2 do it. there's no reason you can't play BF3 without the ibis community. IBIS does not need 2 be involved in a shit ton of other games where all these games have there own rules, own versions of hacks that people need 2 be good at detecting, own versions of game play and style rules.... you're really not looking at how much extra work and shit it adds for basically no gain. those games aren't like CSS where people buy admin non stop... people do in CSS cause most who play CSS do it cause they love the game and playing it is about retro gaming and just being a passion for them... most who play CSS find a community and or servers they like and stick with them... so the probability for people buying admin is FARRR higher in CSS compared 2 any other FPS.... there's just so many factors you either dont know, get or understand. CSS also has like a million times more hackers, which helps us get more admins in the community... I can't even count how many people have bought admin just for the reason "I'm tired of hackers coming and and no 1 being on who can deal with it".... we wont have that in BF3.. .granted some people hack, but it's not like it is in CSS.... a BF3 server wont generate fuck all for us other than more shit 2 worry about and devide our time.

I feel like you're not looking at the big picture... all you see is "it would be awesome when if I played other games I like if I was doing it via still ibisgaming!" but you're not actually thinking of all that comes with it... not 2 mention doing that changes this community/clan and what we represent... we're no longer a CSS community if we do that, and that changes everything.

I wouldn't want to be the head of something at this moment due to shipping off, but wouldn't mind being a key builder. Hell i dont even look for women due to the complications it would cause when i leave. My suggestion was merely something to think about.

[maynard]

don't lie... you don't look for pussy cause you got some male sex toy thing you like 2 hump:smirk:

if you have no problem not running it, why would you even suggest it though before leaving? you say you want a builder spot in it, yet you're still leaving? so why even pitch the idea right before you're leaving? it just makes 0 sense. if I said, ok, ill run and head this up if Zero and the rest of the clan have no issues with the idea... you still would have no part in it cause you're leaving.

I spent several years of my life working 2 get into the clan cause I love CSS, I love IBIS and I wanted 2 be part of an epic CSS community... I do not want 2 be part of some slut community that try's 2 latch on 2 every mainstream new game that comes out... more so when they will never be as profitable for IBIS as CSS is.

It's community's like ours that make CSS as great as it is, and still played... I'm against anything that taints, tarnishes or fucks up the fact we're a CSS community, and CSS must always be our first concern.... also the game I said zero said he would host a server for was natural selection 2... but there's still not even a release date on it and zero said that like 2 years ago so who knows if it will ever happen, I honestly wouldn't care though cause it wouldn't be a mainstream game, I'm sure it will do ok in sales, but not like BF or MW style... for Epic strait up FPS's we are CSS and should always be. there's also nothing keeping you from going "hey, I'm gonna invite people and friends I have in this community 2 come play with me on this server and in whatever specific guild" IBIS does not need 2 back or be part of every game just cause we all do play other games as well.

and I told you from the get go, you can make whatever guild you want, but it wouldn't have actual ibis gaming backing unless it was lead by a clan member, and I honestly don't want 2 split my time from what matters, that being CSS.

CSS is our money maker, it's where our time should be devoted... that and cause CSS shit kicks any other FPS out there still 2 this day lol.


it really comes down 2 the fact that the weight load of new shit 2 worry about, out weights the benefit in going into other main stream games. no game brings in admins like CSS does, and there's a shit ton of unique reasons as 2 why CSS does.

[Steamer]

Here's an idea for revenue if anyone truly wants to help.

Admins treat regs with the respect they deserve and try not to be a controlling power hungry asshat (less they deserve none) like I see the majority of them being.
A stern mind on rules and keeping the server a nice, "safe", clean, and FUN place to play in will help keep players there. Said players will want to participate in the same actions they see from their fellow admin gamers and help improve the servers. This in-turn yields more revenue from the extra admin or reserved subs.

If you ever notice, when a power hungry admin is running around abusing in the shadows, people get disgruntled and it seems subs and players tend to drop off more and more until said admin is put in place.

While this may be a good idea for another clan member to do in his free time, I can not see how Zero could have the time at all and incorporate it into this community as a whole when he is barely getting by now with what needs to be worked on (WCS and the new DM server when he starts it).
