  XR8D Chapter1:Beginnings at Xbox Scene, A Pivotal Post
TAZ1975uk writes:

Hello,

I have noticed an increase in user names with a 3 letters in brackets in front of there names, So im assuming that there are a few clans evolving.

I would like to know as much as I can so that If I can assist in any was to organise tourneys or anything else.

I would like to know the following things, If you could post as much info as possible that would be great, and also any sugestions of what XLink could do for you would be appriciated.

* What is your Clan name?
* How are you identified?
* What games do you play as a clan?
* How many members do you have? (aprox.)
* What Gaming Services do your clan use? (ie. XLink/XB Connect/Gamespy/Warpipe etc.)
* What are your objectives? (ie. Just have fun/Create a force of unimanigable magnitude)
* Do you have a Clan website? (if you do please provide a URL)
* Do you have rival Clan(s)?
* When you recruit new members is it based more on skill or personality?
* If anyone wants to become a member of your clan how should they go about it?



plus anything else I may find useful.
please only answer the questions that you want to answer.

Many thanks

Taz

I (seven)respond with:

I represent the core of the Rainbow Six 3 XLink community. We have played with fragdad and chillinhh I'd like to bring to your attention who we are. Due to the release of XLink kai and the new means of connecting that kai has introduced we feel it is time to organize ourselves and make a permanent home for us in kai. We are the biggest group of Ranbow Six 3 players using XLink and possibly the largest group of players in XLink period (there may be a larger halo based group, but no offense, Halo has been played to death, get over it, Halo 2 will be out soon anyway Smile ).
I'd like to point out several things that we have noticed. You mention the usage of abbreviations in front of names indicating clans. We have noticed this also but have also found that in the past few months some of the rooms with these abbreviations in front contain no one who is playing link games and that beyond "Is there a game going in here"? there is virtually no conversation going on. Why these people chose to stay idle, no one can say but them, perhaps they will post here soon. We have noticed that XLink users tend to be much more friendly, are less likely apply cheats, are less likely to build up animosity and less likely to feud and won't kick you from the room for minor offenses when compared to xbconnect. These are the reasons we choose XLink/XLink kai over other similar services.


*Our name is X-Rated
This comes from a joke about someone causing lag due to downloading porn while playing XLink. We don't exactly call ourselves a clan but we are a group. If "clan" is to be the generic term, then so be it.

*As of yet we do not identify oursevles by any type of abbreviations or special characters, instead we choose to preserve our own identities by using the existing xtags we have already been using, however most of us know each other by our Rainbow Six 3 Profile names.

*We mainly play Rainbow Six 3, this may change as other games featuring link play are released, a few other games we play are: Top Spin, GR, GRIT, PGR2, Crimson Skies, Sega GT Online, Links 2004, Corvette, XIII, CounterStrike, and Halo.

*We have aprox. 30-40 people that gravitate to the same rooms.

*XLink, XBConnect, to my knowledge many of us haven't tried Warpipe or GameSpy.

*Pirmary Objective: Kill. Get the coolest looking final kill. Secondary Objectives: Kill more. Joke about killing, shoot the body after you've killed it. Drink and recreation. Don't get killed by dropknee. Blow stuff up.

*No website as of yet but i know you guys and girls are reading this reading this so if you don't make one my G36C is gonna make your RB6 experience very unpleasant. Bang, you're dead.

*No rivals really but we have alot of fun playing with TEAM PREMO wattup, SaD, silent killers, as for you fragdad what's that demon hunters thing, you know you're one of us Smile

*If you don't have a mic we'll tease you until you get one. It's . If you don't have a mic but you do something funny or cool in the game or just kill alot. We are very fair but please don't be rude, especially to the ladies. If there is young person playing don't swear.

*Keep coming back to play.

We still mainly use rc4 but kai gets the thumbs up from us.
Thanks taz

THIS IS HOW XR8D WAS FORMALLY CREATED, THANKS TO GUNSLINGER WE ALREADY HAD A NAME. AT THE TIME I REALIZED THIS WOULD BE A TURNING POINT FOR XLink WITH THE RELEASE OF KAI. AFRAID THAT MY FRIENDS AND FAVORITE PLAYERS WOULD DRIFT AWAY I DECIDED TO MAKE IT IN WRITING, AND TO SEAL THE DEAL.
IT IS MY HOPE THAT WE RECRUIT AND MAINTAIN NOTHING BUT PLAYERS OF THE HIGHEST QUALITY. ESPECIALLY BEFORE ANOTHER CLAN SCOOPS UP THE TALENT.
HERE'S TO FOREVER KICKING ASS!

 Yes, certainly brought back some memories reading that.

To think that now, XR8d has links in many major devolopment teams in the scene.

M.A.P. Manager, Avalaunch, XLink and probably more.

Congratulations on all the hard work on establishing yourselves I think that post was at the end of last year, so xr8d is 8 months old.

Is it coincidental that XR8d is reinventing themselves on there 8th Month Aniversary.

Anyway, Ive always felt welcome on your website and feel a little like a member myself.

well who desent feel Xr8d Wink

EDIT: if you want to relive some clasic threads.

 That really does bring back memories, things somehow seemed simpler back then. I've always looked at you like one of us taz glad we make you feel all warm and fuzzy in the bullet wound Smile . When I wrote that I never dreamed we would have new members and grow the way we did. We've made front page news at xbox-scene again and again and we maintain our position at the top of the heap on the Rainbow Six/Kai scene. Lets keep having good times guys. Wink

 Yeh, and i feel like ive improved my game a lot since way back then.

I just havent got the hang of stopping still and waiting for the enemy I prefer to go running on in with guns a blazin'

thing is that method usualy means your sittin in your own blood for 75% of the match, and if your lucky you got one kill to show for it.

But I dont care, I had fun doing it Smile
