All 9ATD members are required to join this forum and use TeamSpeak3 for Clan functions. You need not have a mic, but the ability to hear is paramount. Our TS3 server is:
blodite.typefrag.com:7315
All full members are required to maintain at least 2 tier 6 tanks on the approved detachment/clan wars list at all times and 1 tier 8. All full members are required to take part in at least 5 detachment battles over a 28 day rolling period.
New recruits will stay Recruits for a period of 30 days, during which they will be expected to platoon heavily with full members, as well as participate in detachments. Once the 30 day period is up, each Recruit will take place in a Trial of Position (you can show your true geekdom by knowing what THAT'S from), assuming the Recruit and the Clan feel they are compatible. The Recruit will enter into a training room with 3 full 9ATD members, at least one of which is a Combat Officer or higher. The Recruit selects any tank tier 6 or higher. The 3 9ATD members shall take the other team. One shall take a tank that is 1 tier below the Recruit, the second will be the same tier, and the third will be one tier higher. All players will be on TeamSpeak3. All Trials take place on Mines or Wide Park, the Recruit's choice.
When the battle launches, the Recruit will engage in single combat the lowest tier 9ATD member. Upon defeating that member, the match will reset and the Recruit will then face the member of the same tier, followed by the member of the higher tier should the Recruit manage to defeat both of the first two opponents. The Recruit gains rank based on the following number of kills:
0 No position earned
1 Private
2 Junior Officer
3 Combat Officer
If the Recruit fails to kill any tanks, he/she stays a Recruit for an additional 30 days. At any time up to the end of that 30 days, the Recruit may request his/her second Trial. If the Recruit fails to earn a position in the second Trial, I'm sorry, but you need to find another clan.

and if hachi would listen with my added idea, where a bunch of newcomers will face off against a team of 9ATD members, this game is about teamwork and coordination so it is key that you are able to work together when we face other clans in strongholds and clan wars.

I agree with both of you. I think that after 30 days, if there are enough people, you do a 4v4 battle, new vs 9ATD. Then, depending on who showed leadership, you promote them higher, but also keeping Hachi's way. PS, I would like to request a trial???

I really like theveryone new requirements too. It gives us a chance to really grow better as a clan. And can I get a chance to get a higher rank by trial too?  ?? |

I do understand what you are saying about needing to work with your team, however in order to do that you have to at least be able to competently handle 1 v 1 situations. Once you can do that then you can focus on working with the team. If you can't win a 1 v 1 situation however it won't matter whether you are coordinated. On a separate note, I have not given it much thought but what would you guys think about incorporating player's stats into the test. If the person wanting to test had significant improvement in their stats or just had good stats would that weigh in to the test in anyway? Also would it matter who they were against because there can be a fair amount disparity in the skill level in the clan so would that be a factor? Just some thoughts, I really like the idea of having to test up.

Well what I meant was first they do 1v1 then after we gather a bunch of them up to do a teamvteam to test their teamwork skills, also I disagree with u joltz since u can face pros or good players so by facing is senior officers we can see what they are capable of and if they can pull their weight

So what I was saying is that there is a lot of variance between our full members so different people taking the test may have to go up against possibly significantly better player because as far as I read there was only a stipulation that one of the three must be a combat officer, I did not see any other requirement for the skill of the people going against the person testing. I am just saying that maybe there should be some minimum for the people going against the person testing like that the people testing them must have a 50% WR and 1k WN8. Or Hachi could state who could be testers. Either way I am saying not that they shouldn't go against better players just that everyone should have to go against similar players.

One of the 3 people must be combat officer or higher. We did 2 trials with PJ and FD and it went pretty well, we are modifying it though since when u beat the tier below u it is really hard to beat the next person since u lost hp, so basically one u beat the person below u we restart and you are going up against the same tier opponent with all your hp instead of like half

I like both ideas. I think Hachi's is good and then there could be a larger battle to test teamwork and find leadership qualities. I would also like to request a Trial.

clan member rank based on # of kills in a trial? Can this apply to current "FULL" clan members who would like to rank up also?! If so, i'm up for a trial!!!

Considering I was one of the people testing it out last night I can help coordinate trials for clan mates as well as I would like to rank up to executive officer since I'm a personnel officer atm  |

but im pretty sure once u become the rank of combat officer or higher u are basically a senior officer so u can only rank up by doing things with and for the clan where I platoon and do detachments a lot. But yes, people like privates and junior officers are eligible for trials as far as I know

Hi so i have thought about the trial I think for a recruit vs clan we should adopt the following strategy to make it a little more balanced 1 recruit fights 3 x on mines 2 recruit declares his level ie T6 3 testers declare their tanks to the moderator. these should be 1 x light 1 x med and 1 x heavy at T5,T6 and T7 in this case - moderator decides the run order, test tanks are not permitted to fire premium ammunition. The testers should not all be officers at high skill level as this is also a little unfair, we want to find players that are prepared to improve lets not make the test a seal clubbing session for the recruit. 4 moderator tells the recruit what he is facing but not who is bringing what....gotta have a little edge 5 the recruit then fights 3 times to determine his rank 1 vs 1 with only the moderator watching moderator then decides the rank of the recruit after discussing with the testers. this also reduces the feeling of pressure on the recruit as he doesn't feel the world is watching him or her and they get a fresh 100% tank for each round - must be the same for all 3 trials the moderator can also offer feedback to the recruit in open forum after all 3 rounds based on performance review with all 3 of the testers. A new recruit gets to take 2 Trials of position within 7 days, if he fails both he will be removed from clan Once a recruit has passed his trial he becomes a probationary, as we need to be sure we get the right person. A probationary can then request a ranking trial and be put up against skilled players to see if he has learnt from his time with us - if he has progress then promotion if not then stays probationary until he skills up. At the end of the day IMHO the only rank that counts is clan leader and the rest of us are just lending a hand as we all like to play- I am happy to do what I can to help us all, my rank does not make me a better player - my enjoying playing with you guys is whats making me better as a player.  |
