As of late there has been a major lack of clan/site activity. In my opinion the ones to blame for this are the ones who lead the clan. Seeing as I strive for improvement, I decided to make this thread to gather input from everyone, clan and non-clan members alike.
What changes or improvements do you believe could be made to the clan and to the website? What kind of events would you like to see? I personally was thinking about starting to host official clan tournaments with SSF4 in mind, on the XBL side, and I was thinking either BLACKHEART or a PSN officer could do the same on the PSN side.
What do you think of the ranking system? Would you rather see ladders devoted to a particular game where it's possible to advance via tournaments or improvement in skill? Or perhaps a system with individual rankings for each game with the culminative ranking of skill in each game reflecting in your main clan ranking? Right now the main clan ranks are based on votes from generals/officers, but I was thinking a system where it's possible to advance without biased clan votes might be more beneficial.
Also, I think it would be beneficial if the clan had mandatory meetings, where we could meet either via the Shoutbox at a particular date/time, or via an IRC channel, or perhaps platform-specific meetings via Xbox Live/PSN or in an endless battle on SSF4, etc...this, IMO could very well be key in bringing the clan together as a whole and a better measure of who is actually dedicated to the clan...although we would have to discuss the dates/times these meetings could take place seeing as we all have things we have to do in life, etc..
I would like to see input in this thread mostly from our clan members, but input from non-clan members is welcome here as well. If you have a suggestion, criticism, or something to say, don't hesitate to speak your mind.

I think these are all good ideas. Something that I always thought was cool is that on some sites they allow ppl to post without registering, like an anonymous guest. Idk if that is a function already implemented on this site or not. I checked for it but couldnt find it. Idk if that is something that could be added but I always thought that the idea was neat. I realise that might open up the gate toward spam and trolls but this just something that came across my mind while reading this thread.

Yeah it actually is possible to allow non-registered members to post, but seeing as theres a possibility of getting spammed I made that option board specific only, the only board guests can post in at the moment is The Lounge and I might have enabled that for the pit as well. Still right now I'm trying to get some feedback as to what I could improve/change with the clan and not necessarily the website itself, also would like to hear what everyone else has to say about my ideas, and I'm open to new ideas as well. Basically my goal is to bring the clan together so we feel more like a competitive community rather than a website people look at every so often. |

I was thinking about this thread again. I thought about the idea of the winner of our online tourney could have some sort of emblem next to his name or or something under the av if he wins the tourney for any given time. It would be like in boxing or wrestling such as, "Heavy weight champion of the world." Or something like that to indicate this person won the tourney. And i thought, what if that particular person had to defend his title. And we would have to find a number 1 contender possibly with another tourney? And the title could change hands every so often. If the world clan champ won consecutively his title could say something like 6 time "Insert cool champ title" champion.
The idea of rival clan trophies came across my mind too. Idk if I was thinking about this bcuz its football season are not haha. But I was thinking we could have something like a 'emblem' or 'trophy' we could try to defend against other clans. Maybe have other clans make a trophy to put up too? If we win we keep the trophy and or take theirs and vice versa. And we could defend our 'trophy' or whatever cool emblem is decided on if we get a challenge.
Anyone feel free to tell me if these ideas are corny, stupid, or just wouldnt work.

I think these are all excellent ideas. As far as doing clan tournaments and what not, that's one of my main goals for Black Dragon, not only forming a solid community but being the #1 online tournament for fighting games, most notably Mortal Kombat 9 once it drops. Depending on how things go I'm considering getting a vBulletin board like MKU and MKE use, with the main focus of making it a competitive site where clan wars take place, with tournament awards, clan awards for defeating other clans, and what not. Basically a place where clans will be able to show what they've accomplished, who've they defeated, and be able to showcase what titles/trophies they had/have under their belt. I think it would be a great opportunity not only to show who's best, but further push the highest level players to break past their limits and be as competitive as possible online, maybe even set it up so people can bet real money on matches and maybe even cash prizes for winning tournaments. |
