Okay so, I've bought up the idea once before, and it was mostly ignored.

But, the more I think about it, the more I think it's a better idea.

This idea I speak of is damn simple, but I think it could be a very effective thing and could be just what the L4D community needs and by the looks of the past few threads, wants.

Simply put dudes, why don't a few folks from this community, go raid their friends list for that ol' pub noobies who you had fun playing with at some time because you found they listened great, learned quickly, etc etc.

If, for example, 10 people did this, found 3 guys on their friends list who they enjoyed playing a pub match with, and make a clan together, that's 40 new players to our game of L4D.

After speaking with AA, he's keen on this idea as well, and plans to do this, as am I, I already have 3 dudes in mind who probably will do this.

What I think we should do, with of course blessing from admins and most likely annoyingly long political CG processes, is host a "L4D Beginners Tourinment" a DKO or something anything as such, maybe even a CGm seperate little league anything along these kinds of lines that will be able to have some fresh faces in the game, which we could see many clans getting into our ladder.

What this one person who picks another may do is, train them up in the skills that most of us know, eg, how to speed climb lol, etc bla bla had to throw that one in there for teh lulz But yeah, get them to scrim etc etc get them in the pugs that myself, or AA, or Ethan, chad, anyone else whom hosts the pugs around. I think it's a nice simple solution and we could all truely benifit from this, not too mention I think it would be hell fun to see, and definately to watch progressions of players who have the ability to be much better then they are.

Whatchu reckon guize? Anyone wanna give this a go?

Hauks.

Good idea. More clans yay!

I can remember someone making some noise about doing this ages ago, but honestly, I reckon it's a pretty good idea.
I reckon one way to go about it is to invite some pubs in the pugs that are going on, switch over to all-talk, have a laugh, then see if they're keen.
There's some guys on my friends list who'd be keen.

Also, "Yo, I'm willing. To give this a try."

Crab, there's alot of people out there that are like huh wot, L4D is played competitively?

I know from fact, that alot of people don't even try to get into clans etc purely based on the fact, they have no experience in a clan, so they're like ugh I'm so bad, etc. EG, Epoch. With the right direction, selling sand to arab etc, I think this is possible, however unlikely, but if people are willing to try, then let's ****in' try. I love the game, so I'm willing to do this.

A great example who I think would be a great participant in this, would be sigildark, he's fairly new into like, the current pug scene going on, and I bet this is the kind of thing he would be down for. I have another couple of players on my list who are in the same boat.

Yeah true nah good points. Good idea. I like it.

It's a good idea, been playing for a few hours but no-one seems to be decent or fun or anything :|

HEY **** YOU!!! I is speed climb now

+ maybe a training camp (regular games) made up of 4 of the top players 2 on each side with 2 others on each side.
Getting instructions from the pro guys as-well as getting trained up

I am more than happy to help you out Hauks,
I have a few pub players on my list, Hell.. I've even helped train one up (Xtreme).
He came into the game knowing little more then basic wall pouncing, after a few weeks he can now punt, advanced walljump and pull of a skeet.

I'm 100% with this idea.
Just give us a shout if you need any help organizing anything at all.

Happy to train people up too

Just don't teach them how to throw tovs.

ROFL.

Totally dug myself for a comment like that >,>

sure did

Let me use your server (give me SM admin access already fffuuuu) for this, and lets see what happens

They might even become THIS! - http://www.heraldsun.com.au/lifestyle/the-other-side/man-sized-crab-shellshocks-uk-crustacean-fans/story-e6frfhk6-1225832129453

Imagine crabs punting shit with that kinda range.

I like the idea though, happy to help if i'm around
