Quote from: FishyRules on November 17, 2008, 04:29:25 PMwhat do you mean by promotion of posting?

Well, in case you hadn't noticed, we're not as huge as we were over the summer.  This is a little forum quirk to hopefully bring back some old, disinterested members and also make these forums a generally more fast-pace, jovial place.

What exactly are we tested on? Zelda, personality, all around knowledge...?

Yes.

How do we apply?

Good question.  PM a moderator of the clan you would like to join, asking for a test.  They're not done yet, but when they are (and when you do this), a test will be given to you.  Fill out the test to the best of your ability and it will graded-- and you will be accepted or otherwise accordingly.

Tango-- we'll assume you're lying.  Surround your cactus with lemons, this'll startle her.  Now, quickly, blow smoke in her face.  She'll cough every time.  *claps* And you're done!

The mods of the clan, or you and gamefreak?

Gamefreak

Preferably the individual clan mods.  They're more focused on their clan than Tacheon or I would be since we have access to all three.

cacturnerules

so wait, is there any difference between clans? or is it just weather you like magic, power, or wisdom better?

Keaton

It's just a way of sorting the other clans.  I would've named them, "Nayru, Farore and Din", but ZU already did it ;__;

Gamefreak

I was thinking of Zora, Goron, or Kokiri originally when you mentioned a clan system.  Kind of an Ocarina of Time motif.

But this is a lot more original while staying true to Zelda.

Sorting means taking different things and moving them into a place with similar properties. what are said differences?

Keaton

The names, yes.  But after a while you'll start to notice that the clans begin to acquire "personalities" of their own, one becomes prevalent and domineering, while another becomes the quiet, cloistered, sagacious type, sort of like a pantheon of scholars.  The people that make up the clan will be sorted-- into what clan environment they'll prosper the best in.  Please, don't try to use logic-- you're bad at it.

Sorry, completely my fault.  I'm just on-edge about this stuff and making it click.

My apologies, FR.

Good advice. You can tell his dad is asian.

And the Wizzrobe clan will be ready eventually, I'm just kind of extremely lazy and haven't gotten around to making questions yet.

wisdom=knowledge=smart
Sorry, just felt like pointing out the being wise doesn't necessarily equal being smart.  After all, the most knowledgeable man in the world may also be the biggest fool in the world, whereas the wisest man in the world would admit that he isn't knowledgeable about everything.

Now then, to be on topic.

QuoteChatting in clans is absolutely anything-goes,...
So clans get their own boards where they may not have to necessarily watch their language?

Sorry profanity is not allowed, no.

Maybe things'll be a little less strict until the younger members start pouring in (hah).

Twilight Wolf

So are the rules in the clan boards essentially the same as the ones on the regular boards?
What, you expect me to say something witty?

You really did confuse a lot of people with that one Davy- I included.

My real Poison team in BW2. They all have perfect natures and EV's. I went the extra distance and bred the right IV's into them. Come at me bro.
