Thread: CS:S TPG Clan Tag: Should you be allowed to wear the TPG under the Clan Tag section?

Ask the BigTex guys. When they used to play CS:S all the time people always asked/assumed they were the admins since their tag/name was BigTex, and the server was Texas TeamPlayers.

Im not saying tpg clan tags would be good but if everyone had them it would defiantly take away the deception.

What deception?

It's a bad idea for a lot of reasons.

The biggest one I can think of though is that it gives the illusion that we are a clan when we are not, but it'll appear that way to say sponsors.

People hardly read the MOTD anyways, so they'll still assume it'll be a clan tag or something that it is not.

The whole reason why we changed from TTP to TPG was to get away from the idea that we are a local community or just some clan so this would be a step backwards. Besides, it's not like it is hard to identify the regulars anyways once you start playing here on any of our servers. There is no need for it in any sense.

It'd open up a can of worms, and I like how currently people have to establish themselves as regulars by getting a good reputation around the servers through hard work. Regulars can show love for the servers by making sure there are always competent, friendly people making great calls and defenses, and helping out any new players with questions on how things work around here.

I'd say yes but not required, if they wanna show off their allegiance to TPG and they travel it's only extra advertising for us but free.

To me, having a tag for regulars is like wearing a jersey to a baseball game. It's a simple, visual way to show your support, in addition to cheering and all that other stuff. I know, wearing a tag in CS is a slightly different story, but I hope you can see the point I'm trying to make. Being able to wear a tag as a regular is a quick, visual way to show your support, in addition to being active, setting an example for other players through your play and attitude, and all that other good stuff.

I'm not quite sure why so many people seem to be treating the concept of a clan like it's the plague. I mean, I get that this community isn't a clan, and that you don't aspire to be one. But if I'm being honest, this community is exactly like every single clan I've ever been in with obviously the one big exception being that you don't actually have members. Public servers, regular members that populate those servers, a sense of community both on and off of the servers, standards for conduct, etc...All things that have been a part of the clans I've been in.

I should probably point out that I really don't care about being able to wear a tag, since if I'm being honest, I wouldn't wear it even if I could. I just like the idea of it. Really, I'm just confused and trying to figure out why it seems like people think this is the worst idea ever =\
