Nay or Yay.
Do NOT vote unless you've experienced the game.

Nay because I havent even played it lol

jk

I vote in support of the Minecraft squad. Clan support is slated to come into Minecraft in a future update. The game has exploded in popularity. Many of our members already have the game and several more are planning to purchase it. Plus it would be a unique draw to our clan, not too many other clan's are working to set up Minecraft sections. Plus it would add some variety to the clan's game list (as most games the clan support are online shooters). And Discussion on Minecraft has been very active recently on the forums.

I've purchased and played the game for a little while now and while I do enjoy it, I play it for relaxing purposes. Making a squad out of it, to me, would kind of ruin it for me.

I've only played multiplayer sparingly and while I'm not the most experienced player, I just don't really see how a Minecraft squad would operate.

Same as above, I didnt honestly know there WAS multiplayer xD

And it doesnt require "team tactics" does it? Isnt it just like building stuff together?

Im a total MC noob lol

Against:


However I am not against giving Minecraft its own forum FOR EVERYBODY IN THE CLAN TO PARTICIPATE IN. It is a game that has very low system requirements and could be used as a "universal" game of sorts for the clan.

ALSO HOANG PLEASE READ:
I have a computer that will be able to stay on 24/7. It will be a dedicated computer for only that purpose. Message me if you think you would like to sort it out. (I'm not a minecraft player, so you may have to enlighten me on the details)

well i support the idea, and i would like to be on it, also for practices we could do this:
a OP set a large number of monster, and the 13th MEU have to work as a team, build a fotress and defend against the monster, after some time we will get better and better for survival modes ^^

Maybe we could have a war once, 2 teams each of 5 persons in the same server, hoang spanws waves of monsters, last team to have still members wins.

I voted yes, i really enjoy the game cause the possibilities are endless.

I voted yes, but I don't think it's necessarily a "squad" since we wouldn't have a clear leader or team tactics, but I do support some type of "group" for minecraft...if that made any sense lol. And ya I agree to Liam's suggestion for a forum topic as well.

What a shame monsters can't kill you in multiplayer.

Personally I find making a squad for it a bad idea for now.

If the October update fixes the monsters and our invulnerability then I would support the creation of the squad. Right now though, all we could do is build. Paisamans and Juniors idea is pretty good.

You could actually do some kind of rpg then, as where the host makes up happenings and where the group of players has to survive them.

I say no. Minecraft is a game to enjoy with a squad it'll get into dicatorship and lose all it's randomness.

Here's some things to think about...and I've already made my mind.


We never had just a "squad," but a Division of multiple "squads." It's not exactly a game we could implement such tactics or anything really. And going with the first point...how many people in the clan actually play this? There might be 10 or 15 guys that play it but consider that these 10 or 15 guys are guys that are apart of other squads, other divisions, etc.

If we ever wanted a new division, not squad...it would be for games that are bigger, not web-based (for the free game), are part of an experienced franchise, etc.

Agreed, creating another squad would weaken all other available squads of the moment. And yes the idea of having a squad for such a game is quite "silly."...

However, I ask you to revisit this idea until Minecraft Officially releases. Their might be room for competitive gameplay and clan support.

In other news...

Hoang is back as the hoster for the Minecraft server. The computer that I had setup for the task was not adequate...

For reference it was a
1.5 gb RAM
128 mb Nvidia 5200 Card
2.4 GHz.

I suspect the video card not being able to process it fast enough for server use.

Anyway I can't say I tried... I am disappointed though.
