James 279 #1 Posted September 30, 2013 Im not sure this is the right place but I wanted to ask some things about joining :/ Is the point of the clan just about a group of people who just want to play the game together or is there some sort of competitiveness? Does it matter if game time of 24 hours is in the arena server as that is the only server I have played and nearly have 24 hours in and is really the only server I will play in if I got in Just wondering sorry If in the complete wrong section etc I am new :/ 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fever 9,884 #2 Posted September 30, 2013 (edited) You only need 24 hours on Lotus servers but you need 50 hours of TF2 play on any servers. Once you have that then let the good times roll and get your application in. I joined looking to improve my game, have some laughs, play some competitive TF2 and get my ass whupped by better players and learn from them. I succeeded on all of these points very quickly. Join us, you'll get more from the game and practice is good fun. If you want serious practice you can find that too Edited September 30, 2013 by Fever 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
James 279 #3 Posted September 30, 2013 Alright I will join asap got 22 hours - will have 24 hours by lunchtime tommorow probably.

-MW- 5 #4 Posted October 1, 2013 Lotus is NOT competitive. We're a community of people who like to game. Some of our members enjoy competitive play, but there are also those who prefer more relaxed gaming. As far as try-hards go? Not many. The only person you REALLY need to watch out for is Dr. Obvious. He's a dick. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ruby 9,039 #5 Posted October 1, 2013 We're just a group of people who like to play Team Fortress 2 and some other games, and meeting new people who do the same, as well as doing cocaine We do hold highlander/6v6 games between us sometimes and competitive teams are sometimes created by our members but nothing official. MorW is lying, Dr. Obvious is actually nice, if I were you, I'd look out for that sneaky asshole Rougepanda. 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fever 9,884 #6 Posted October 1, 2013 (edited) Oh yeah, just an FYI, Darwin is a good guy to get one of your 5 trial games in with (rest of comment deleted) Edited October 1, 2013 by Fever Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Possum 10,776 #7 Posted October 1, 2013 Dr. Obvious is actually nice Yes, the 24 hours can be on any servers, but be warned that very few here actually play Arena. If you want to get involved properly, you're gonna have to be willing to go on other game modes as well. Having a regular server is fine (I fucking love Dustbowl), just don't expect to get to know everyone just by staying within your comfort zone. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

James 279 #12 Posted October 1, 2013 I have the 24 hours now but dont think I am going to join :/ put off by fact arena not really being played by members + a "recruit" join the server earlier - the only one who has ever been on it and was being such a jerk to everyone we votebanned him 20-1.

If you could tell us (you can also PM me) who was that and provide something to back up your claims we'll deal with them. It's more likely that you encountered a rouge donator - don't worry, we ban these as well 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
James 279 #14 Posted October 1, 2013 Backup my claim? I have nothing to back the claim with it was just one of those members where someone joined was a jerk saying he was better then us so we votebanned him and he threatened to "remember us" tbh I have no "evidence" to report him :D but like I said it was just enough to put me off joining Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The individual in question never was, and never will be, a recruit of the Lotus Clan. Thanks for reporting. I've replied to your PM with some details so check that out as well.

Possum 10,776 #18 Posted October 1, 2013 Whenever people come to us complaining about member/recruit/admin abuse, they're usually confusing them with donators. Most, if not all, of the people here are decent sorts. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

-MW- 5 #20 Posted October 1, 2013 I have a question as well :why so many protected forums, Lotus? What are you hiding? The secrets to love (Members Forum), happiness (Admin Forum), and eternal life (Staff Forum). In that order. Also, if you can get into all of those and post the secret message on all of them simultaneously you win the prize and break the spell. ACTUAL: The only locked Forums are for Server Admins who need to keep up communication without wading through other stuff. The Member Forum for full members to keep in communication with one another in regards to member related material. And the Staff Forum for Staff to keep information and contact with one another. Nothing to hide. Just keeping the information that they need to know in their hands. Duh. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ruby 9,039 #21 Posted October 2, 2013 Private Lotus forums are also absolutely confidential and no information from them is ever shared to anyone else. Never ever. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fever 9,884 #22 Posted October 2, 2013 (edited) The private areas are best thought of in this way... Lotus Lounge - who gets what cocaine Clan Member - who has ordered what cocaine Server Admins - where to get the best cocaine at the cheapest price Lotus Staff - retrieval of coccaine from cocaine stash Mana - keys to cocaine stash Edited October 2, 2013 by Fever 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
