How Org could better serve the needs of MP players,Clans and the MP community?

[Togakure]

I think it's more that newer TW fans like the newer games, and here, many liked the older games and tend to criticize the newer ones. It's not so much players giving players a bad time, but old players giving the new games a bad time, and maybe putting down players who like the new games by association. If the newer players defend the new games and then get put down, I can see how they might leave in a huff for sites like the TWC (which caters to the newer games--look at its forum structure and tell me what's missing ...).

When I think "elitist," it has little to do with skill level and more to do with groupie attitudes and behaviors. It's a certain arrogant snobbiness associated with those who see themselves as members of an "in" crowd, excluding or at least dismissing others who aren't--basically like in high school. I know some highly skilled players who aren't elitist at all. Conversely, I've know many clannies--mediocre players at best--who could be very elitist. Elitist and elite are not the same.

How can the Org better serve in this context? Assure that discussions stick to criticisms of the games and moderate instances where it becomes criticism of the people who like those games. Downplay elitist behavior and things that encourage it when it comes to what gets posted on this board. Don't cater to the "in" crowd. Be as fair as possible to everyone. Generally speaking, the Org has been pretty good at this.

New players (that like the new games ...) come to sites that have what they want. What do we have that they want? How do market that? If we don't have it, how do we create it? And don't flaunt what they don't want ....

The elitist attitude here is nothing compared to other gaming forums that I've been to. I haven't seen vets rip apart new players here like I have at other places... then again I don't read every post here, so I wouldn't know, but I haven't seen anything horrid yet. :)

Go on Battlefield 2 forums, Not bad, though I seen some gruesome elitism there.


Well, I think .Org has to find that bridge between the older and newer players so we can have a better MP community.

I have found that bridge in A Nerd. He is an oldie (that's not meant to be offensive) and we enjoy socialising here at the Guild. I'm finding it less uncomfortable to socialise with people twice my age or thereabouts, since we all have similar interests, us people who come onto these forums.

:) I'm flattered! But I can't do it myself! Not to sound all high and mighty or anything! :)

Interesting. Actual age differences and the awkwardness it can sometimes bring is not something I'd thought about. It's true that many of us oldies are literally--oldies, lol.

It's awkward IRL, but on here it's in the back of our minds. Next thing you know, the guy you were conversating with about some TW game is actually twice your age, but a really cool guy/gal. It makes you reconsider a lot of things.

The "Borgs" teams could be promoted in all the other forums as accepting all challengers


PeRk................ and this from Elmo...go figure.....what this will do is give the ORG. a opp to get thier site out there (posting in other forums to premote) without stepping on any hoofs and createing traffic for the ORG ......knew Elmo was good for something but didnt think it'd take us this long to figure out what
