Requirements.
First thing is you should go through this checklist and make sure you have all of these. If you don't then do not read any further.
Xbox 360
mature
A Headset


The Idea: I feel this team should be one that plays together, not just as skilled players, but also great friends. We can start things off slow just by playing in free online ladders and tournaments. Maybe after 3 months, 6 months, a year, or a couple of years who knows where we will be. There are so many things that can change in the future its best just to start in the present and see where it takes us.

What kind of member am I looking for?
First of all you need to have:

Game we will play.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2
Console: Xbox 360

Reason I think this will be a good game to start our clan with is because there will be alot of competition in this game. After seeing the success of Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare there are alot of people who will get this. So for us this means alot of good teams to practice with and plenty of ladders and tournaments. 8 Players seems like a good start so when its 4 vs 4 we can practice against ourselves, play 2 matches of 4 vs 4 at the same time, and have back up players if some of us can't make it.

Tactics.
I want everyone to understand even before joining that just because I'm the one that created the clan it doesn't mean I am the most skilled. I plan to take on this game in a stratigic manner. Instead of gathering skilled players and just playing together we will try to outsmart the enemy.
Skills will not be the primary focus. "Skills can be developed but an asshat is quite hard to turn around!"

Personality.
Everyone has their own way of doing things but you never have to do anything in a rude way. I will not tolerate immature behavior. Understand this is not a clan just to gain attention by bragging, get good stats, get a big ego, dominate other clans, boss people around, call other names, etc. If I say play for fun you might not play seriously all the time, and If I say play for the prize or things like that then it will cause anger and frustration when we do bad in a game. I don't want to see you bickering or beating yourself up because of a mistake made by our team. No one is perfect all the time. So I guess playing together is enough. Think of winning a prize as a bonus, the real thing is us being able to come together as a team.

Principles.
Clans need to have ideals that go beyond just competing or owning in any single game. They are binded by friendship, building up a rich legacy and history, and always establishing a principle-based leadership.

Communication.
This is a MAJOR focus in clans. Communication in game is important but so is out of game. We can't just have members disappear for 5 days without any word about it. If something is going on in real life let us know about it. We should be able to trust each other to know what is going on each other's life. If you are going to college and have a big test to study the same time we have a tournament and you ask us for advice I'm sure everyone will tell you to study for the test. Education should always come before gaming but ultimately it is your decision. I plan to have backups anyway.

Starting Up.
After all of that I think I got my idea across. Start with a small group of 8 for practice, ladders, and backups. Get to know each other and become good friends. Play your best everytime.

Since Modern Warfare 2 has been out for a while I can't do much but talk to potential members who are interested and like-minded. The only real plan I have is to just start a free forum somewhere as a place for us to post our tactics.

Oh and if you were wondering about a clan name well I think I'm going to go with:
requiem
Our tactics might not make much sense to others which is why it would seem Illogical, and our friendship and teamwork is a complex.

Once we actually have a team we can start by playing together in public rooms. After a while of doing that we can start to formulate our tactics and start going online and entering various ladders to see how well we do. Who knows where we will go from there. We could end up making some serious money, get spotted and offered some kind of sweet deal, break up, decide to just play for fun instead, or the world could blow up. We won't know until what happens, happens. FEEL FREE TO MESSAGE ME ON HERE OR ON XBOX 360 UG X RIICO YOU ARE NOT REQUIRED TO CHANGE YOUR GAMER TAG
