Massive Gamers' Community Expands Into Ns!

ElrondElrond Join Date: 2002-11-16 Member: 8923Members
<div class="IPBDescription">Online Warfare Pact goes live in NS</div> greetings comrades! my name is [Elrond] and i am the "business manager" (in other words the spokesperson) for a massive online gaming coalition called the Online Warfare Pact. [OwP] was set up in 2001 to encourage and enhance the team play that can be found in online games. currently we have cadres in IL-2, C&C Generals, Tour of Duty, Warcraft, TFC, CS but our biggest member base is in DoD.

our membership is currently just shy of six and a half thousand, with players from across the world playing any game you can think of. we are also affiliated with various other organisations such as the Outlaws of Sherwood Forest gaming community, as well as various server providers such as Jolt.co.uk.

<a href='http://www.onlinewarfarepact.org/documents/engmissionstatement.htm' target='_blank'>Mission Statement</a>

<a href='http://www.onlinewarfarepact.org/documents/englishcoc.htm' target='_blank'>Player Code of Conduct</a>

<a href='http://www.onlinewarfarepact.org/documents/serverfaq.htm' target='_blank'>Server Guidelines</a>

Our website is heavily WW2 based at the minute, given the origins of our organisations, but we have a superb new site in development with loads of functionality, so watch this space.

The organisation is heavily team play oriented, with a fairly strict code of conduct. We propose a high standard of ethics for ourselves, but it is not our business to impose our view on others. we just like to be able to identify ourselves and how we like to play.

anyway, the reason i am posting this is because we already have a good number of members who are addicted to NS, myself included, and we would like to invite those of you who are interested in having team-play based, polite and fun games to join up with us and identify yourselves to the rest of the world as being the kind of player who wants to have fun!

you can find me on the BlueYonder servers, where i am an admin, or in our site's forums. if you want to register as a member, take a good look out our mission statement and code of conduct, and decide for yourself whether you can adhere to it. if you can, we're very happy to have you aboard!

    Seems very very familiar!

    Hello [Elrond]. Nice to see more people taking an interest in NS!
  • echsechs Join Date: 2002-12-27 Member: 11568Members, Constellation
    DOH!

    I thought this all seemed familiar. You use the #byns channel don't you. And I've seen several [OwP] players play in the BY servers!

    Just woke up moments ago, cloudy head <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

    I use the name .:xfon:. in the By servers and in their channel too <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    <span style='color:white'>If you think you can insult me and then hope for it to stay at its place because I'd otherwise be abusive, you're wrong. And for all that crap you posted about OWP, they're new to NS, and I've made a habit out of greeting newcomers until they do something wrong.
    Up till now, they didn't.</span>

    thanks for your open mindedness Nemesis Zero :/ we unfortunately seem to have a few chaps that play DoD who don't like us. can't really understand it, as our code of conduct specifies that you play on a server as though you were a guest in someone's house, i.e. politely and sociably, and play by their rules. which is something we'd like to bring to NS <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

    elrond, actually because of hb-skwirut, tellah, and those guys (i was in hb) i don't actually dislike you. i dislike the open enrollemnt you have and thats what has made you all look bad. Remember a few bad apples makes a whole group look bad.

    I might start playing with my OwP tag in NS now.

    open recruitment is an issue but we're taking steps to address. we can't go invitation only, that makes us too exclusive, and i don't want to say too much about what we have planned because it's quite clever and i'll be stealing someone else's thunder <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

    suffice to say we are implementing a quite comprehensive player registration, authentication and monitoring system!!! this will help us to maintain our standards and hopefully create some nicep laces for pubby players to come and have fun <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

    personally i think you'd be better off making your own server like community. This way people are not gonan be forced to play by your ideals. i have news for you. i don't cheat,exploit or whatever but i still would never join owp. its personal preference. I guess what im saying is, people dislike owp because sometiems it looks as if we don't like it too bad and the dod team seems to be forcing you guys into everything that happens. i mean yah owp exisiting fine, but if a developer takes steps to implement stuff solely for that orginazation? that takes things too far.
  • CrouchingHamsterCrouchingHamster Join Date: 2002-08-17 Member: 1181Members
    Most of the OWP types I've played against were fine....no attitude, already rtfm etc..

    Ah well.

    ( except Elrond, he's a reet Nazi, banned a guy for singing fs!!!...:E )
