This clan is called "The band of cool people who like to play spoils" or TBCPWLPS.... i plan to make this clan a house hold name... and the only requirements to become a member is to:
A. Be a cool person
B. Play spoils
C. Support the clan in your forum signiture

I dunno sounds like too mauch work to me...

[RS500]

does that just mean that all i need to do is put TBCPWLPS in my signature and i"m in? Genius!

[Great White Nothing]

I am afraid I miss the requirements for beign a "Cool Person".

So what's the deal? Can we just make a clan and it will there by exist? Or do we need to go through channels of permission?

[LucienofShadow]

Right now there are no channels of permission. To be honest I'd like it better if you only make a team if you intend to do something serious with it, but technically you can do what you like.

[Great White Nothing]

Hmm I think I'll hold off until we get some more news on this. If it's for legit teams maybe I can coax my friend into posting here again and start something up.

I believe that there are several people who simply have the wrong idea about teams. I believe they set this portion of the forums up for teams to post, talk, and make themselves know. I think the largest problem is people thinking that it means something special to be part of a 'team'.

Here is how I would define a team:

team - a group of players who regularly playtest, strategize, generate ideas, compete in the same region, and share/borrow/trade cards regularly with one another. Most generally a team will set themselves apart from other players by openly claiming to be a member of team suchandsuch. Being a member of a team is nothing more than including yourself among a group of players whom you may or may not play more often than just in tournaments.

clan - a term most generally associated with a group of players who compete regularly at the same location or are within certain regions.

Often times the words team and clan may be switched, but a team is generally a more closely knit group of individuals.

So basically, if you and a couple other people play together a lot, you may consider starting a 'team'. This way, if any of the members of the team become successful at the game there will be a team name to associate with the player.

A clan is like a greater group than playtesting. It has nothing to do with area. Like in WoW (not the card game, the real game) you get a clan to help with raids, but your "playtesting group" or whatever you call it would be your buddies on your friends list. Clans have nothing to do with area, in my opinion, unless the clan decides it does.

The TFEPT would like to extend a welcoming hand to the 2nd group to be started in the Mid-Michigan area... and would like to tell people who would like to point out differences between Clans and Teams... technically you may be right... but technically no one cares it's all for fun please save the Technicalities for the IRS and leave em out of our fun...

The TFEPT would also like to mention that Technically is our word of the month, whoever uses it the most will win my half of a foil rare, I do not know if it will be left or right half as Lucien gets to pick first

This clan is for all the people who love the spoils and enjoy gaming at both a competitive and casual level, there are no requirements to being "cool" other than your a nice person and willing to help any new players just starting in the spoils... I want this clan to be rediculously huge because i also want this clan to be essentially what everyone in this forum is... Ambassadors of the game, to both the spirit of fair play and friendlyness
