Purpose
and Goal
<back
to top>
Team
Kindred was created to bring people together as a family,
an online family that kicks butt. Making memories and
friendships that we will remember for a long time. Members
support members in the good and bad times and when we
need them
the most.
Video games are a way to free yourself from the hustles
and bustles of work, school and sometimes just life in
general and having an online family makes the time away
from all of that even that much more enjoyable and something
that one looks forward too.
Hopefully through our good gamer attitudes we will make
a difference in the games we play online.
Games
We Play
<back
to top>
For several years
Team Kindred was only in 1 game and would continue to
grow in that 1 game to try and be the best that we could
be. When that game ended we succeeded in that goal but
were forced to find a new home and new games to play together.
In order to grow we have to move with the times and have
played games like Quake3, Tribes, AvP and others. The
current games we focus on are First Person Shooters just
like our old game but that does not mean that wont change
in the future and we take on other kinds of genres. As
a team we make the decision of which games we would move
on to and play.
To become
a member of Team Kindred you must be invited in.
The members will speak up on who they think would best
fit us. Every application is received
by
the
CO
and XO
Manager
for that division as well as the Leader and Executive
of Team Kindred. The CO/Manager of the division is required
to post the application on the boards as well as any
conversation with the app if it would pertain to recruiting
as if all members received the form so they get the best
possible idea of the person. In order for members to
then sponsor someone you must
make
yourself
known
by playing with the members and coming to Game Nights
so the members can play with you and get to know you
better.
Remember that an app is not a sure fire acceptance, it
is just to inform us you are interested and for us to
watch you.
What we focus on are the individuals attitude above all
else. Your proficiency at playing the game is not an issue,
but your attitude, personality and how you deal with others
is our concern. If you are abusive, arrogant, disruptive,
or get into fights often then don't bother applying. You
will not be accepted. A member represents the team wherever
they are and must uphold the standards of the team no
matter the situation or place.
WIth an invite system there is no 30 day process like
we use to have. If it comes to a definate turndown then
we feel you should be let known, but otherwise you might
not hear anything other than that we received your application.
If you happen
to not get any word back
this does not mean you are not wanted around or that
the members dislike you.
Rules
of Team Kindred
<back
to top>
1. Our 18+ years of age rule has been taken out however
the maturity of the individual is still one of our highest
concerns. Just some times age can't determine that,
which is why the change.
2.
Never type obsessive profanity or abusive language in
or outside of the games. Meaning e-mail's, message boards
or anywhere.
3. Do your best for the team and always be willing to
learn and improve yourself.
4. Treat EVERYONE with respect. Even if they show you
none.
5. We are not hackers and do not tolerate hackers or people
who have to resort to cheating.
6. Your team mates are your Internet FAMILY, treat them
that way and enjoy your time with them. Take advantage
of the fact you are on a team and can play with the many
friends we have.
7. Preferably visit the teams message boards weekly,
if not keep a current and valid e-mail address for
contact purposes
and
keep
us updated
if/when it changes.
8. Do not gloat about something, keep it to yourself and
sooner or later you will be recognized for a greater reason.
9. Team Kindred will be your only guild/clan/team you
can be in so you are not sharing your available time online
with other guilds/clans/teams.
10. If you fear you might be doing something the team,
or managers, would not approve of DON'T DO IT :)))
Keeping
in Contact
<back
to top>
This is very important for being in any team, not just
ours. Keeping in contact with your fellow team mates so
that we know what's up and don't think you have fallen
off the face of the earth. There are many ways to keep
in contact these are just a few ways we use inside the
team.
ICQ
- This is a neat little program that when you are online
(you have to turn the thing on :P) the people who you
specify can see that you are online and can easily and
quickly say hello or talk with you. This is not a requirement
to join Team Kindred but is strongly encouraged that you
get ICQ and USE it :)). ICQ causes very little lag and
unless you are the type that must turn every single thing
off while your playing, which some of you might be :P,
leaving your ICQ on would be fine and wont hurt anything.
E-mail
- It is important
that you have some type of e-mail that we can contact
you by if we have not seen you on the boards or in game
for a while. What better way then to have your very own
@teamkindred.com e-mail. If you do not already have an
e-mail address this is the easiest way to get an e-mail
address.
Side
Winder Game Voice -
This voice program is top of the line and for serious
gamers. For members wanting to play the right way in game
or in team league matches this is the voice software to
get. If you do not want to spend the money for the actual
hardware equipment (which I recommend you do but if not)
you can easily download the software that will let you
communicate with The Kindred.
TeamSound
- This is another cool voice program for the Internet.
Designed for talking in games this program has little
to no effect on your lag and is very helpful for kicking
some butt. |
