No clan tags allowed this includes eGO's.

[Cigarjohn]

I never take my tag off wherever I go. I'm proud to wear this tag. When I read in the rules for our upcoming tournament on December 21, 2008, "No clan tags allowed this includes eGO's." it made me very upset. Why are we singled-out?

I'm special, I shouldn't have to take-off my tag!


Peace!

No clan tags are allowed as to avoid people thinking we are showing favoritism for our clan members and that we wouldn't be helping them in any way.
Thats what I think, if someone has a more official answer feel free to put it up.

Thats a very good idea.

 

[BlackMesaSouth]

Pretty much the reason. And we aren't being 'singled out' probably thought their was a need for clarification seeing as this is a eGO hosted event. In the end no tags so no-one thinks we are cooking the books so to speak.

If no one wears the tags, including other clans, then what's the big deal?

This is very much the reason.. there will be no favouritism to the clan players what so ever and even the refs will be called simply referees. Cigar john I hear you and understand what your saying.. each and everyone of us are proud to wear out tags or we wouldnt be here.. ( I hope I speak for everyone when I say this)

However we are inviting the world to our event and we want the pubs to feel welcome and not singled out either. Its enough prestige for us to be holding this event although we do want as many of our clan members in this event as possible..

Of course we would be over the moon if one of our clan won it.. but to do that, you gotta be in it to win it !!

Even if you dont think your that great a soldier and you meet the age requirements ..get your butts in gear and get signed up.. Just cos you wont be showing off your tag in the actual event, you can support the clan just by taking part. We need you there and I hear theres free christmas log... hurry before djsatan gobbles all of it up : D

Buga summed it up nicely. A lot of pubs ask me this too. They tell me their tags are a badge of honor and they want to wear their tag for the pride of there clan. I tell them what buga said and I also tell them that this is a You vs Everyone event, not a team effort. A lot of pubs think this is a team event, its not. No sense wearing tags at a you vs everyone event. This way, people wont get mad saying a people are teaming up with each other, because they are in the same clan. We are trying to avoid this. The best way is to drop all tags, including eGO.

i never understood where the confusion was from. it made sense to me :-/
i mean this isn't a clan event, or a scrimmage. its a contest. with real life VALUABLE prizes.

in all honesty beyond dropping tag i would also like to be issued a game name

ie: John3671

cuz lets be honest if i drop tag and come in as Rellik
EVERYONE is going to know its me.. EVERYONE knows Rellik :-/

Yes, BUT lets pretend you were allowed to wear your tag, AND YOU WON! Well now we have pubs getting mad saying the contest is fixed, or we cheated, because one of our members won first place. This is what we are trying to avoid. Dropping the tags isn't to try to make everyone not know who you are, but rather so that it insures no favoritism for anyone.

 

[MrSnugglez]

i understand. pretty simple actually.

no. that was my point exactly.

I want not only to have to drop my tag, but to be issued a name. i wasn't being sarcastic.

I want to be issued a generic name: ie: John5672

 

[Mental Buga]

You can of course give yourself a generic name but all someone curious has to do is look at your aliases .. its not that difficult.. however you can change your name to anything you like provided its within the rules

Besides I seriously dont see the point in discussing this further, all valid points have already been made.
