There is one NS clan, called Evolutionarily Challenged (EC). They aren't competitive though, and are full. Than there is the NS Guild NSF (dunno what it stands for, and I dotn use the tag, but I am signed into it), it is just a loose organization of forumers who agree to play NS without cheating and be good teammates and helpful. You might wanna do a search on NSF and see what turns up. Other than that, nothing. Competitive clans dont lend themselves well to NS because a good player is good as a marine based on more than just skill. A player who is a terrible shot but listens to his commander can be twice as valuable as a tool who runs off on his own with a Heavy Machine gun.

Silly Humbaba. <img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'>

EC was the first clan; they're invite-only, full, and non-competetive. Other clans include EGC (EC's sister-clan), 38th-something, 28th-something, and more. NERV? I don't remember... I think there are about 8.

NSF stands for "Natural Selection Forums" - it's a tag that designates an intelligent, helpful team-player: a player you can rely on as a teammate, even in a public server.

By the way... PLEASE try to spell complete words and use punctuation where necessary in your posts... it makes it unbelievably easier on the rest of us, and you'll get a lot more respect if you portray yourself as even mildly intelligent and well-mannered. Kthxbye. (:

humbaba · August 2002

Really? I never knew any of those others got off the ground. Well, there ya have it. /me bows head in shame. Maybe some leaders of these clans will post their sites si you can see your prospective options. Or run a search on "Clan" in general discussion. <img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

Clans...

Joining a clan when you have never even played the game in question..

Guh?

pielemuis · August 2002

well EC plays alot of SI aswell, mostly on SCK or BW 1 and 2. It's alot of fun playing with friends, working together as a team...

<pimp NSF mode>
NSF, made on the forums, <a href="http://www3.telus.net/peaches/nsf/nsf.html" target="_blank">website</a> made by me with components posted by some ppl capable of using photoshop on the forums, right now I'm adding names of ppl who e-mail me, thing is if you look down the status column you'll see that everyone is listed "p" that stand for provisionary, when the MOD comes out and we start playing I'll start changing those to "n"s or removing names if they are not seen or are seen doing bad things. If any one is planing to run a server and would like it to be "The Official NSF Server" that would be cool, we could lock it down every now and again and have for fun scirmishes.

Well it's more like being friends with them, getting to know them better, etc...

Fam · August 2002

Its a lot more fun to make fun of Jedisar when he knows he can't argue back or face my wrath. Thats my reason for starting the first NS clan anyhow. <img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'>

TheGunSlingerOmega · August 2002

I attempted to join NSF, sent a nice e-mail and all,
But ALAS, they never added me. I wanted to show my
support to a clean NS experience. *sigh*

*EDIT*: Whoops, I guess they Did update, [NSF]Omega. Sorry bout that, never got a confirmation e-mail and checked a while ago when he hadnt updated.Sorries!

Dan_Forever · August 2002

I've mentioned this in a couple of other posts but my cs clan will branch into NS as well once it's released. We're a uk clan so uk goons only <img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'> (Irish people inc.)

SmokeMasta · August 2002

Soon Clanfission comes online and you will be able to register your clan!
clanfission is a sort of Clanbase only for NS

Sgt_X · August 2002

Good, can I get Parse_Error to keep track of all these crazy ppl tring to join NSF then. <img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

Moebius · August 2002

I am hoping I'll get some good players and good people in VIRUS, but sadly we aren't recruiting until NS comes out so if you have a little patience... <img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'> Or the ability to host a fast server hehehehe.

Some_tall_guy · August 2002

PATIENCE!?!?!?!? i might as well join in on that insane people thread.

Slycaster · August 2002

You asked for a few clan's websites? <a href="http://www.box7.co.uk/ec" target="_blank">http://www.box7.co.uk/ec</a> (Evolutionarily Challeneged, teh first and l337est NS clan ever... or something.)

Longtooth · August 2002

NERV was a FA clan but we are switching over to NS upon release, right now we don't really have a game. The web site is www.nervhq.cc and my AIM and YIM is claymation6. Right now we are acepting all aplicants because we will all suck at NS at first.

C0nan_The_Librarian · August 2002

i just hope that if i join a clan its not like my last one for CS. it was invite only but they let ANYONE in and we have 98 members right now. its crazy CRAZY!!!

dragonsblade · August 2002

FATAL EXSISTANCE

p.s if you want to join just send me a mesage

To Quote:
*************************************
We are the Evolutionarily Challenged.

"Even the most pathetic members of a species can prosper, if they overcome their mutual differences and band together as a community to annihilate the most fit members of the species."

This counter-intuitive corrolary to the theory of Natural Selection follows a long-standing truism: A large group of idiots can overwhelm even the most intelligent and badass individual. (Except in action movies)

We are that large group of idiots, and this is not an action movie.
*****************************************************

That alone is althogether eerie, funny, and wickedly witty and smart. No posturing at being 1337, just the cold hard truth: we will run you down and overpower you with sheer force of numbers. Your sk1llz mean jack to us. We are, indeed, Evolutionarily Challenged. Who needs Darwin when you've got teamplay like us?

I've never joined a clan, and never felt the desire to, but EC actually looks...cool. Intense teamplay, positive reinforcement, elitist attitude without insane posturing, and communicating with a minimum of typos. Mmmmm...good stuff.

-Ryan!

There are many things that we would throw away if we were not afraid that others might pick them up.

ThrillKill1 · August 2002

The NSF thing sounds just fine to the shadow demon. Joining a full fledged clan requires far too much time and devotion, which is something I cannot supply these days.

In my experience, a clan is rarely "successful".

Define 'successful' please. EC as a clan do not stand for winning, we stand for teamwork and fun. If a clan helps me to play a game to a higher degree of both of these, I believe it could be considered sucessful.

Grendel · August 2002

Actually I'd say that forming a clan to play NS is a damn good idea. It is a team game after all.

And in case you are wondering, yes it is worth it.

Unless you consider headshots in CS the pinnacle of FPS gaming, in which case you'll hate NS, which is everything CS ever wanted to be and more.

Grendel · August 2002

By the way, my clan will be recruiting once NS has been released.

However, membership is by invitation only.

With that proviso, I would say that EXCELLENT team players with a decent attitude between the ages of 18-60 are entitled to apply for a trial.

Email me at <a href="mailto:dodgbh@hotmail.com">dodgbh@hotmail.com</a> if you are interested.

By the way, fully functional voice comms and excellent discipline are pre-requisites for membership. That's non-negotiable.

In return you'll get membership of a clan that has been around for 3 years and a reserved slot on one of the first NS servers. <img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'>

Us3r · August 2002

Yus yus, there are quite a few clans, I spose I should pimp EGC for once, though there isn't much to say...

Just visit the <a href="http://pants.netfirms.com/egclan" target="_blank">site</a> for info and for you mIRCers... <a href="irc://irc.gamesnet.net/#evolutionarily" target="_blank">the chan</a>, and for you non-mIRCers #egnetwork on irc.gamesnet.net.

And please, remember, the clan is <b>invite only</b> so don't come to the chan begging to get in.

Slycaster · August 2002

Just for the notice, the tag for EC goes as follows.

[EC.Cyanide]
or
[EC:Fam]

If you notice any of those, that would be EC. <img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

Rico1 · August 2002

Im certainly interested in joining a good organized clan. I have a lot of time i can spend on it, along with a helping hand to make it better. Although, i dont like joining clans and then ending up leading them. (this has happened with ALL 4 clans ive joined)

Im a good teamplayer, good player in all mods (except deathmatch mods, i hate them) i have some HTML skills (1337 skillz&#33<img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'> and i think im a pretty dependable guy.

For those with age requirements im 18.

Clans?
