Hi all I joined a good amount of time ago and then was told to post in the forums so I'm going to make one of my first posts. Any advice on a random forum or whatever to talk in.

Anyone know how I get promoted exactly?

 

[Tidus]

Anyone know how I get promoted exactly?

I suggest going to the next "e Orientation". It's a good way to meet other members, and it will talk all about getting that promotion.

A few of my own tips:
1. Be active in game
2. Be active on the forums
3. Be active in Ventrilo

Those are the best ways to get that G. Just hang out, and have some fun.

I'm usually not active on the forums because I'm gaming.

I'm usually not active on the forums because I'm gaming.

You could always spend some of that remaining time that you're not playing (i.e. ragequitting?) on the forums. And if you have FireFox, installing the eGO toolbar add-on helps urge you to visit more often.

 

[shadowassassin0009]

Eww who rage quits. In all my time playing I've never rage quit.

 

[Whisker Biscuit]

Eww who rage quits. In all my time playing I've never rage quit.

GOOD. When people rage-quit it usually means they're taking the game too seriously. We're all here to have fun, and that is what games are for, what they were created for. If you're able to still have fun while losing, and you never lose your cool you're doing it right

The longer version to what he's saying:

Skill level has nothing to do with promotions. Maturity has everything to do with it. We would rather have someone who can barely play, is a lot of fun and carries with them a sense of integrity, than someone who is PWNTASTIC and acts immature.

In holding ourselves to a higher standard of conduct, we lead by example and it is more likely you will be kicked or banned for rule breaking than someone who hasn't joined the forums.

As a member of eGO, you are responsible for your actions in the entire online gaming world, whether or not you are wearing an EdgeGamers tag. This means that you could be removed from EdgeGamers for bad conduct on servers or forums outside of eGO.

Getting promoted to =(eG)=? or =(eGO)=? also has nothing to do with time in the clan. We cannot stress this enough. It is the effort you put into the servers and the contributions you make to the clan.

Some factors we look at include:

1. Your playing time in the servers and love of the game.

2. Your maturity and ability to make the correct decisions in the servers. (Are you ready to switch sides when needed, or do you instead just say "TEAMS"?)

3. Your forum activity - Do you contribute to the clan outside of playing the game? (Some members are promoted only on server time and not on forum activity. People are rarely promoted based on forum activity alone.)

4. Age - Our youngest member is 13, our oldest member is 58. We look at age and try to keep a good balance between older and younger.

5. Location - We might promote Hawaiians, Brits, Euro's and Aussies a bit quicker since we need admin coverage in off hours.

6. Donations do not guarantee a promotion, but they do get you noticed. People who donate are mentioned in the news, allowing others to learn your name quicker and so might watch to see if you meet the 5 above requirements a little quicker than someone who did not make the news.
YOU DO NOT HAVE TO DONATE TO BE PROMOTED. The vast majority of Admins are not donors.

7. Remember, at the =(e)=? level, you are NOT an admin yet. So don't try to be. When an =(eG)=? or (eGO)=? member is in the server watch how he or she admins.

They will teach you if you just watch. Let them handle the issues on the server.

The Council and Advisors are always watching to see who is ready. We also listen to what other clan members think about a player.

The best way to NEVER get promoted is "ASKING FOR A PROMOTION". Just play and have fun.

I think I know what my main problem is. I play a mod that we don't have servers for so I'm like never recognized as being on or active.

I don't wish to be offensive but if your profile is correct and mine also I've been here about 9 months longer then you. I know most of that stuff.

 

[Whisker Biscuit]

Cool, you've been here longer, how exactly does that help you? You're asking how you get promoted, and i'm responding to it. That quote is from the people that you get a promotion from, and i'd rather give you correct information then my lousy version of it.
I don't want to be mean here, so I'm going to stop there.

Sorry for trying to help.

I would recommend surfing the forums. It's amazing what you find here and how interesting things can be.

 

[ShEpArDofGOD]

Dude, obviously you know how to get promoted if you are an eG! I'd say keep doing what your doing. Make sure and read ALL the stickied threads! and one other thing. RAWR I can't believe he said that! I rage quit this thread! LOL.
