Membership
ZiT! has three levels of membership: Wannabees, Trial members & Full Members.
When you first sign up with the clan, you enter the Wannabee level. This is where you gain access to our private IRC channel where everyone currently participating in the clan can see that you're here and new and be aware of your intentions to be part of the team. The main objective during this level is to determine if you are really serious about joining us and not just some curious 'fly-by-night' who will dissappear as quickly as you arrived. This short test involves you being regularly present in IRC and your ability to communicate with others in a teamlike fashion. Once you have played 4 friendly or official matches and you're still interested in staying with the clan and you haven't proved yourself to be an arsehole, you become a Trial Member.
Once you become a Trial Member you are expected to be present as often as possible. We are a very busy clan and demand you’re full support. Turning up once a week and expecting to get a game will be frowned upon by your team mates. During this trial period you will be treated the same as all other members, you may even get to play in cup matches but will definately play in official games if you meet the desired criteria at match time. You must also be prepared to use voice communications during match play, you may even find yourself using it all the time. We strive to keep our own dedicated voice server running where we all find it easier to chat about things as opposed to wearing our bloody fingers out on the keyboard. The trial period will last for 4 official matches.. You only need to be available at match time to show your support even if you don’t play after which you will be considered for full member status.
That’s it! Get passed all that and you get your nick engraved on one of our famous Indian Sapphire web buttons and can stand proud on any public server knowing you’ve got all your dodgy clan mates behind ya, haha.
Player Rotation (Maj’s Majik Cards)
The Clan rota is designed to make sure everyone gets a fair chance of playing a match. From the moment you sign up with the clan your name is dropped into Maj’s hat where it seems to lay at the bottom for ever but believe it or not, players are picked as fairly as possible and everyone does get to play.
Players are picked 15 mins before match time from whoever is present in IRC. Being present means being able to respond immediately to anything said, being on voice comms (if you can talk or not) and making it known to others in IRC that you are availablel. Only players that meet this criteria will be picked.
All players wanting to play in cup matches must be available at least 40 mins before the match start time. They must notify someone of their availability as early as possible. All potential cup players must wear their clan tags and use their official Clanbase nicks.
Do not expect to be picked for cup matches if you:
1. Can’t make 1st person demos for whatever reason.
2. Can’t use whatever voice program the team are using.
3. Can’t tell the difference between Red & Blue.
4. Can’t keep your mind on the job instead of cursing or flaming.
5. Can’t take a joke :)
Repeated violation of these rules will be punished by an inclan firing squad and repeated humiliation until you can abide by these simple terms.
Finally if you are having problems with your PC, connection, mouse or brain, please do not put the clan in a compromising position by playing in the match. If you develope problems during the match, leave the server immediately and either try to solve the problem or ask someone else to take over.
