Expansion: What We Could Become
Our success as a clan in Combat Arms has encouraged me and led me to believe if we can kick ass in Combat Arms we could do it in a number of games. As all of you know, Ph0bia.'s members don't just play Combat Arms and/or Crossfire, they play a number of different games. Some of these games are Team Fortress 2, Counterstrike, World of Warcraft, Aion and a few others not so frequently played. I suppose the big ones are TF2, WoW, and Aion. I personally plan on buying Team Fortress 2 soon so that I may play with my clan mates in a different setting. I guess what I'm trying to say is if our members are playing other games as frequently as Combat Arms, why not expand? Why not start a Team Fortress 2 division, with its own captain. By doing this we may be able to bring these new players into Combat Arms. We would be able to still play together as a clan in different games, and considering that Combat Arms is free we may be able to get some of these new guys from other games to play Combat Arms.
Roll Playing Games, or more commonly known as RPG. RPG's have been a huge part of PC gaming for as long as I can remember. They captivate a whole different type of PC gamer. If we expanded Ph0bia. into Roll Playing Games we could reach a whole new crowd. It would bring a fresh dosage of diversity into the clan. In a matter of days we could meet new people who play different games such as World of Warcraft or Aion. We could have WoW and Aion divisions. Not only would this bring more diversity into the clan, it would also make the clan grow even more. The more members we have, the more users on our forum and official website, the more traffic on our website, the more money we make from the ads that occasionally spike the curiosity of one of our members.
Not only is this just an opportunity for expansion, its an opportunity to make money. If the clan's websites are funding themselves, paying for the domain, that leaves money extra for activities within the clan. An idea is a NX Lottery, or maybe get our own Ventrilo server (I hate Vent btw).
Have any thoughts? Or would like to add a game? Please leave a response below.

Re: Expansion: What We Could Become
Every clan needs to expand, but ph0bia is pretty new. Dont over extend yourself into mutliple games with multiple divisions/leaders before the clans more stable. And if you want to be sponsored... PWN just got a 600 slot server box from a sponsor for being #1 on the CW rankings in CA for a few months. If we would clan war more, and train so were all as good as an A team, we could easily do that
Re: Expansion: What We Could Become
I strongly agree with everything sol just said, we were discussing this earlier, and these are great ideas
Re: Expansion: What We Could Become
The problem is CA isnt really a "time consuming" game. You pretty much are good at it or not. Of course you can get better but lets face it. You either have it or you dont.
But RPG's are really time consuming. I am basing this off of WoW of course but to be serious in WoW you first have to get to the top level. Which takes around 7days, not 7days on and off, but 7 days in hours. And thats only if you know what you are doing. Then thats when the challenge appears. First you have to get geared, which you do through instances, and you need to know most of the fights off by heart. Then the actual hard part comes. Thesea are called "raids." These are pretty much MASSIVE instances and very complex. For a raiding group you have to have raid times. The usualy minimum is 3 days a week in 4 hour sessions. Also you have to call in the cost of WoW.
Right now, as Voodoo said, we dont have the stability or the numbers to do this. Maybe in the future but thats far off.
Just a reminder this is only my opinion on RPG's such as WoW. As i dont know what other RPG's are really like.
As for FPS's that would more than likely be easier, but still i think we need more stability before doing that.

hmm
I am not suggesting that Ph0bia. starts playing WoW, I am saying that we expand Ph0bia into Wow, as in put a new guild into the game. you recruit people in the game, they are in the Ph0bia in WoW, and on xfire. Im not saying ph0bia members all need to go out and buy Aion or Wow and throw that extra 15 bucks a month into the RPG toilet. I am saying a member of ph0bia who already play Wow or Aion will become the division leader for that game. it is their job to establish an in game clan. this clan is as much a part of ph0bia as you or i is. you add new people to the clan not a new game to the clan. People who play these games, people who already spend so much time on an RPG game will be added to the clan. not dragging our members into a game but bringing new ones into the clan via a new game. we go on about our lives just like normal but instead. lets say for example Mystyk will be in charge of a clan in Wow, and i will be in charge of a legion in Aion, Triton will be in charge of us.
Re: Expansion: What We Could Become
Ok, first I dont think we should extend, yet. Second, we dont completely rape in CA, third Im not For the Tf2 idea Unless we get a server because TBH we couldnt compte competitivly. because TBH baba your not TWL material from what ive seen on frag vids, but im not one to talk about how good/bad you are since im horrible at it. And also We Dont have everything Paid For, we dont even have a domain name except for our free one which is .tk :3 So why should we start looking into it now? So wait till we get everything paid for before we start thinking about servers. And I would like to buy a domain name (www.phobia-gaming.com) which be for the forums and the Main site. this would be the first thing we would buy since it is cheap ( $7-8 a year). The next thing is a Ventrillo/TS3. We are NOT going to be useing Xfire for the entire time we are in Ph0bia. So that is a MUST and it will attract more members. I'd rather have a vent over a TS3 just because of the expeirence me, etho, mystyk, and baba had with Sotg's TS. Another thing, the ads stuff WONT pay for a server + a vent/ts + a domain + the however nuch money it costs for baba to get his Payfor forums :3. But we will have left over. And we Could do NX lotterys/ competitions. I also dont think we should just Shell out money here and there on Servers for games, we should have an emergency fund just in Case.
However For the RPG idea I am more for this one Because we do not need dedi's wich wont cost us money. So if you guys would like to do that then go ahead. Sol said he could mayb get hes "legion" or w.e for aion to become Ph0bia. :3 so that would bring in more members for that. Another thing, like voodoo said If we Can become Good at CA, then We could get sponsored like Pwn did and get a Server box thing wich could host Multiple Tf2 servers for us, And CSS servers for me .
Also about CSS, that would come AFTER tf2 so dont think im favoring the idea of CSS over Tf2.
And sorry for bad spelling and grammar, im horrid at it D:

Triton
I donated a paypal account with 20 bucks on it to the clan Triton, all you have to do is accept and ill tell ya username and pass word. Bam there ya go thats the website payed off. With the TF2 thing ya gatta play in other servers to get the name out once people know of us then a dedicated server matters. then they know us and wanna play with us. we wont be scattered around the game in different servers we will have our own. but whats the point of buying a dedicated server and only us playing in it. sure maybe well get a trickle of players occasionally popping in. but lets be honest with a server comes some more issues. someone has to be adding new maps to it. small mods such as a ranking mod on it and other little stuff like Orange x2. (BEST MAP EVER)
Re: Expansion: What We Could Become
Ok message me on xfire tommorrow for the Domain name, or infact you could even do it yourself, you know the main website pw

Re: Expansion: What We Could Become
Trit, i'm FAR better at tf2 than you seem to believe, I almost always go 2.5-1 or better whenever I play, and I'm always at the top five in my servers. We definitly need to expand to tf2 and aion, and trit, if we put tf2 in the official games list, you will NEED to play more. I've also never made a frag vid so I don't know what you are talking about with that...
Re: Expansion: What We Could Become
Baba im talking about tf2 frag videos that show the TWL/ cevo players... and i dont think you could do that, but once again im worse so stop bringing it up. And if Tf2 does get on it I wont be playing it, i Dont have to play a game i dont like. For example did Brainfear ever play CA or CF with us even when he was an admin? I wont be playing in it. Ill be sticking to CA so i can ensure the CA branch stays alive that way it wont be like CF and sotg. on how CA died after we went to CF.

Re: Expansion: What We Could Become
You still haven't seen me play in over a month, trust me, we just need a few more regular players and possibly a server and we'd be a good clan. You just need to play more often, it's a game that takes a long time to get good at, you don't have more than 3 hours of playtime, and half of that is just your loading
Re: Expansion: What We Could Become
its ok i have no intrest in getting good at it, i just dont liekt he game. am i allowed to not like a game unless its free?

lawl maybe 3rd times the charm triton
i dont think you quite get what im saying triton. people arent going to be sitting playing other games instead of combat arms. im saying recruit new members from games they already play. your not losing anyone. let wonshot or markcool or mystyk be in charge of the wow division they play wow, and mystyk plays combat arms as well. your not loosing anyone im not asking you to have them play more world of warcraft im saying when ever they usually log on they have another community of ph0bia members to play with.
-.-

triple quote. and let me be the first to say. triton just got scorched by baba
dont argue with the above statement
oh well maybe next time
theres no point in going on Triton is clan leader and in saying that no infact the clan isnt good at combat arms, and that most of us "arent good" (for lack of a better word) at it individually i think he means, NO. I would like to thank you all for your in put on this subject.
Re: Expansion: What We Could Become
No i just like that game, how it has updates alot. And baba The only advantage i have over others is my speed, The l11 isnt taht great and i use a valk most of the time. I hardly use that m6a2 thing...
I also like How They release new maps, modes, guns, etc every month. and the maps actually get played. From what ive Seen with CS:S Most maps dont get played, its the same maps in pub servers all the time. infact i havent seen a De_aztec server yet... But on Tf2 i dont know how they do it or care. That game isnt really that fun to me... its to Unrealistic. I like it to were its MW but its not Super realistic like mw2, and theres not many, as you call it baba, paid for games like that except for CS:S

Its not supposed to be realistic, derp. Its SWBF2 on steroids, thats the point. Theres always a server with people in it of every map, valve always shows the nearly empty-nearly full servers on purpose
Re: Expansion: What We Could Become
Whos to say i only played swbf2 because it was the only PC game(online) i had when i played it? Also i didnt have a system that would lemme play online

Expanding.
That sounds like a sound plan, It would attract innermerable members, both for Cb arms, and other games, not to mention renown. I know Tfc would be happy to see Phobia, and attract players, or if they want to get on tfc, as well. If anyone comes in Tfc 1 itself, I and SCASH would welcome Phobia warmly and introduce you to the basics. [SCASH]Sneaky_Sniper ( Aka: Ghost )

If we expanded Ph0bia. into Roll Playing Games we could reach a whole new crowd.
mainly being annoying 12 year olds who think they are better than everyone at everything.

Re: Expansion: What We Could Become
Yet sadly in order to gain more members, the easiest way is indeed, to expand your variety.
Just don't pull a SotG and stay in the same shitty game and think you're going somewhere.
P.S. Yo dawg, i tink u meen "role" aight? aight.
P.S.S. TF2 pubs are entirely different from comps, no offense.
P.S.S. Combat Arms is as realistic as Baba's feelings (Haha, take that, you wanna-be robocop.)
P.S.S. I'm not saying any of this to be a jackass, it's the truth, and with saying that, CS:S is a pretty old game(2004), it's community can't keep growing forever(it pretty much stopped, the only members they get now are people whom have obtained the "Valve Complete Pack" in the initiative to obtain l4d1, l4d2, tf2, and most likely the half life series.), and there are even working hacks for that game.
TF2 is slightly aged, it's based around a comedic audience, but still has a competitive side to it, as well as a fun side.
I would rant about the flexibility of TF2 like a little fangirl, but let's save it for the gymnasts.
