Hello everyone, The "Foreigners To Korean Clans Program" (FTKCP) is now being RELAUNCHED, the program was put on hold for a long time due to the fact that all of the USWest Korean clans were in the midst of a transition to Fish server at that time so starting the program then didn't work, but now the time has come. And this time it is going to be hitting more full swing then last time, as a clan will be found for anyone and everyone.
So far there is 2 Korean clans on Fish server that will be accepting Foreigners ( non - koreans ) to join there clans, the list will be updated as many clan leaders on Fish like the idea of a unification between Foreign and Korean communities, there is a lot of players on Fish that are helping a lot with the progression of this as well so it is now heading a very positive direction.
The only thing is that of course some of the clans that will be changing regulations and will now be accepting foreign players, do have a ladder regulation just like the korean players, but there will also be clans added that don't have such strict regulations, the point of getting the top tier korean clans to accept foreigners even with ladder score regulation is to influence others, please understand.
1 ) Clan Mc. Channel : Op Mc- - FTKCP Authority : - Mc.Mon , Mc.Dave - Difficulty of join : Fairly difficult iCCup : C+ / B- ( new regulation because of members joining) http://www.McClan.oa.to
2 ) Ever) Clan - FTKCP Authority : - Ever)P(Beatles , Ever)P(TelecOm ( you would have to go through me to get tested and verify high ladder score , probably between 1300 or 1500) Difficulty of join : Extremely difficult (Update : Joining closed at the moment, Congratulations to SuburbS. Will be updated when next join wave is open.) http://cafe.daum.net/everguild
3 ) 33Up) Clan FTKCP Authority - 33Up)GhOst (master) , 33Up)Hi, 33Up)OrGasM , 33Up)RedCafe Difficulty of join : Fairly easy / Medium http://cafe.naver.com/33up (33Up) Clan agrees to FTKCP agreement, will start joining players soon.
4) S2_ Clan - FTKCP Authority - S2_SanDara , Ever)P(TelecoM Difficulty of join : Fairly easy / medium **Cafe website in construction** (S2_ Clan ( New clan made by EX Ever) member ) will start joining players asap.
5 ) NsP Clan ( " Dana guild " ) Difficulty of join : extremely difficult http://cafe.daum.net/danaguild NsP clan agrees to FTKCP agreement, foreign player must reach 1200~1400 ladder score, and then do 2 -3 weeks of jukdori time.
6) [ArnC] ( " A revival Name Clan") Difficulty of join : Medium http://cafe.naver.com/arnc The legendary [ArnC] clan, accepting foreigners now.
- It is mainly Mc. and 33Up) clan starting out, and also throwing in gosu top tier korean clans in the mix to give top tier foreigners incentive to join them, and also to give other korean clans more incentive to want to join in the program, the more the merrier. - The application procedure is just list your name, age, ID on Fish, how active you are, ICCup / PGT / Fish rank, post it all here like so and in a few days to 1 week we will start joining players accordingly. I am writing names down starting now.
Name- Joey Age- 25 Rank- C+ Activity- All day errrr day
-To change languages for Korean you go to control panel - Languages - turn everything to korean after installing east asian languages I believe, but it might be different on other Operating systems. I don't think any knowledge of korean will be required to join the clans, but showing interest in learning korean is a huge plus and will make any korean respect you more.
-Now it is way brighter of a future for this program, and for the Foreign and Korean communities, because after some time there will be a larger sense of foreigners on Fish and a larger sense of unification due to this program(That is what we are hoping) , in collaboration with a lot of Korean players on Fish, I bring to you the Foreigners to Korean clans Volume 2.
-OP is updated, all names will be written down in preperation to be found a new korean clan, family, home, team and place where you can reside in on fish and easily find games with friendly korean players.
- More clans will be being added periodically as well. -Fish server updates once a day around 3 PM EST -/C L ( Clan list ) -/LSOP Name ( See a players clan, fam, team list) -/Channels (channels on fish) -/rename (Rename your name, you can change the spelling , it reconnects.) - You use wLauncher, or one of the other korean launchers to play on Fish - You must have 24 hours logged on to play Ladder on fish - I am only an authority within these clans to guide people to the right people, in order to join, you won't be playing me in any test games or anything other than that.
There is A LOT of progress being made right now, I am working on new clans being added, and I just worked out a deal with the leader of Ever) to make it easier for Foreigners to join, which is a huge deal as Ever) is one of the best clans that have ever existed, Ever) also got 1ST place in Fish SPECIAL LEAGUE 2 weeks ago, and in season 2 they got 2nd place, which makes them the TOP Fish clan at the moment. I am not sure how I am going to do this yet, might have to it by rank or maybe host a tournament, more info soon.
UPDATE 2 : 33Up) Clan accepts the FTKCP agreement , will be joining foreigners to 33Up clan as soon as possible.
I really want to try this out but probably not active enough to make use of it :[
name: Happy(OD) age:18 rank: c- iccup, have not played fish yet. activity: i am active in very random spurts usually depends on how much school work i have from college.
Cool Delarien123, that is fine and understandable as everyone has personal lives, Added you to application list and will PM you when another update hits. Thanks for your interest.
i really want to try out,i've alllways been keen on joining a fish clan. Name:TheMarine[BG],could change to t0ssboy if koreans don't like it because of the ex-pro and commentator age:13 Rank:C- iccup,havent played fish ladder,but im playing some melees in order to get to the ladder Activity:im most active on fridays and wednesdays,i play around 10-15 games a day.
Name: gagrush[bwd] age: 22 Rank: B (just getting back into the swing of things though) Activity: Bit spotty at the moment, but I average 15 hours a week.
I'm not that good, but I want to improve my game, I was also in a few korean clans at west in the last 10 years ( [Nice], InTrO), RiVerS), Siz), [S.sIR], KTF.sG), and [GiSaDo], most died though.) I haven't played on Fish yet though.

Excellent welcome back, I think I remember you from USWest , having those past clans under your belt will help.
This is what it looks like right now, just a little glimpse of how active these clans are, and the channels are normally more full. Ever)+ Show Spoiler +
only korean clan i've been was T.3), regular player, can play at anytime of the day depending of work. I would gladly join 33Up) for I see and play with a lot of them on fish
UPDATE : 33Up) Clan accepts the FTKCP agreement. iFU.Pauline , add me on Skype (LiNKTelecoM / TelecomRG) or on bNet ( Ever)P(TelecoM ) , You will be accepted into 33Up clan as soon as we go together into the channel.

EDIT : Also if we have difficulty meeting, just go to Op 33UpClan- on Fish and tell them Telecom sent you, to GhOst, Hi, or Orgasm, they will join you no problem I think, otherwise just contact me and we will get you in.

It depends on what time you catch it, they could possibly be AFK or resting, the chat is very active normally, except during the daytime here in Usa, that is when the channels are a little less active, but still sometimes I think koreans just don't sleep because there is always some people online lol
This is at 4:25 AM in korea, 2:25 PM EST here in USA... and there is this many ppl on and chatting at this time...
EDIT : Oh my god, windows 8 is such shit for BW, I wish I could fix these issues, can't even take proper screenshots...oh well you get the point, there is like 14-16 ppl in channel all chatting, working on fixing this issue with BW in windows 8....if anyone has any suggestions I'd appreciate it.

This is not a fast thing, it is a ongoing progression and it will take a little time to get more and more clans to accept this, I have called upon the help of all the koreans I know on Fish which is a lot, to help spread the word and make this a more mainstream thing.
To get more clans to accept they must be influenced by other clans, which is happening now because Ever) is backing this up, and with that a lot more will follow, unfortunately I am not going to list any clans untill I have spoken to the clan master about it and I know there is a possibility, due to the fact that it is a fragile thing and must be handled with care, if someone went and said something in the midst of discussions then it could be ruined for everyone, progress is a slow process, but it is happening faster than expected.
EDIT : Just as I write this, another clan accepts FTKCP.
UPDATE 3 : Another clan joins in the FTKCP, A new clan was just launched today by the EX Member of Ever) , Ever)T(SanDara, his new clan is called S2_ , Op S2- on Fish. There is now 4 clans with more coming~

Not that hard to get into korean clans >.> I've already been invited to one and I'm a D+ noob on iCCup.
It is not very hard to get into korean clans, although it is literally impossible for any other foreigner to join Ever) untill it happened with this program, and also S2 and Mc. had no foreigners untill now... so yea..

+1
However at the same time, as much as I do not want to say it, the BW community has almost died sadly
If I could actually find the time to dedicate myself to actually playing BW again I most certainly would and I'd jump on Fish off the bat since from what it seems that ICCup doesnt have that large of a KR community anymore.

But I have one question for you telecom. I'm not tryiing to offend you anything. I know Ever clan is really skilled clan, and I was wondering about your fish server rank. It says people have to take a test against you to join...

not test games vs me, I have to orchestrate the joining process and introduce the players to the clan masters, I have literally nothing to do with the joining process except introductions.

That means a rank isn't necessarily required.
so its yust open to everyone aslong as your mannerd?
Basically... but the requirement goes up as more foreigners join the clans, because some people who are joining are way below the average skill level of the clan, so they have to increase the requirement, so the sooner the better...
There's absolutely no pointing in trying to get foreigners to korean clans. You think foreigners will interact with these koreans? HUGE Language barrier. You're just doing this to show off your prestigious clans.

Yes I do think foreigners will interact with koreans, actually I know they will, in every Korean clan there is always a few that can speak english to help break the ice, it isn't simple to work these things out but impossible? Not even close. And why would foreigners not want to interact with koreans? Are you kidding me? ...
You think this is about me? .......I don't even really play BW anymore, I am doing this to help others and also, because I started the foreigners to korean clan program before and it didn't get followed through completely because of the fact West was dying and now all the KR clans are on Fish so it will work, I said I was going to do this, so I did this.
I follow through with what I say I am going to do, get your head out of your ass and realize this is not a bad thing and it will not hurt anyone or anything at all, it is only helping people who wouldn't , or couldn't do this because of some sort of barrier which was stopping them from being able to enjoy starcraft at there full potential. There has already been a bunch of people that I am positive have enjoyed this opportunity that arose, so you should probably consult one of the people who used this to join one of the KR clans and see if things are going the way you are perceiving it.
It is not like some Korean has a gun to your head forcing you to go through this program and join one of there clans, do you feel forced ? Is that why you wrote this mindless comment?

It's pretty easy to communicate with Koreans xD plenty of them speak some English and I'm using it as an opportunity to practice my Korean, so both sides can communicate in the other language somewhat (in my case at least).

I'm in [3.33] for years. Been in Nal_ and [Name] before. Ask TheRock[3.33], Nal_Crayon and mong[name] (Wont mention teams like Intro), Eros_ etc). They all have recruited me to their teams. I say that because your the biggest clown running around on U.S. West acting like you are somewhat important on West + bm'ing everyone who is better than you ( which is most of the players which do exist, earlier then and today, including me. You blamed me for faking korean teams, which i didnt, and that you are better than me, which you are not). And now you act so mannered and so inlove with the community out of the sudden since you have realized people hate you. Every single one.
Congratulations your one pathetic human Neo.G_Telecom.
P.S. and I at least dont act like i'm someone else, I love to bm if it is reasonable.
I see. so you have held this up inside of you since I was in Neo.G then just exploded right now, I was in Neo.G like 7 or 8 years ago...are you serious... and that gives you the right to tell me to go die lol, I was joking about getting you into a korean clan obviously. Who would believe that I was being serious when I said that.
I think you need to go take a chill pill and relax, your a little over the top about helping people into korean clans, Is it really that terrible of a thing.

UPDATE : NsP clan ( " Dana guild " ) accepts the FTKCP agreement, although NsP clan will be even harder to join than Ever because of the fact that I myself personally do not have any influence or know the members very well, but they like the idea of the initiative, Mainly the point of NsP clan joining this initiative is to influence other korean clans, make people work harder who might want to join such a prestigious clan, and to show that the initiative is still moving forward.
Anyone wanting to help with this would be much appreciated, since it is pretty hard to do this all on my own, but still it is getting done, thanks.
EDIT : Also if anyone is wondering what the " 2 ~ 3 weeks jukdori time " means in the NsP clan joining requirements means, "jukdori" time means basically time spent within the clan's channel, you would have to spend 2~3 weeks in the clan channel before being accepted, once you reached the 1200~1400 ladder score requirement, yes I know this extremely difficult , but there are reasons for that.

Actually there was a point for me, my team doesn't hang that much on fish and when they do they turn to autism, 33Up) is a good kor team from 900 to 1700 fish, easily 5 to 10 members can interact with me as they speak english and their age is around 25+ . So I think it's still a good initiative. I would suggest that if ppl want to try it out they should seek for a team that can speak english to a point that you can have a decent conversation.
Now regarding GGZerg past I really do not care for I didn't know him.

If NsP_flOwer still plays or is around, I can hook you up with some great time to talk and get a better personal relationship with the team.

People like you game, and everyone else who tries to derail this thread and this initiative solely because of the fact of personal vendettas against me, I would appreciate it if you all just stopped and realized that this is not about me, this is about helping foreign broodwar, it is about helping bringing down the barriers between Koreans and foreigners. Do you really think the negative comments you write about me are going to help foreign brood war scene?
To the people out there with personal vendettas against me posting in this thread trying to derail it and make it about me, and trying to bring this initiative down, let me ask you all a question. Are YOU going to take over this initiative YOURSELF? Could YOU do what I am doing myself, better ? If so then why wouldn't you just try to help this initiative instead of hurt it, or tell me that you would like to take over what I have started?
And if you honestly think this is a bad thing , and it is only going to hurt the scene more than help it, then you should get checked into a psychiatrist as soon as possible, to see what is wrong with your brain.
I am politely asking people to just stop trying to derail this thread by bringing in your personal vendettas against me, just pretend that I have nothing to do with this, just see it for what it is, instead of turning it into something it is not because of the person who is doing it.
All in all..... THIS WILL NOT HURT THE FOREIGN BROODWAR SCENE, I HOPE YOU REALIZE THIS.
"Hello game, Im not sure, but you must be jealous or envious of the fact of this initiative, the fact that you can't do what I am doing for the community, because you have no respect or pull in korean community, ditto bro ditto." - TelecoM PM Ditto.
yea I chose to PM instead of typing it here, trying not to derail this anymore than it already has been, but I guess I should have known that you would of just posted it here, proving what i wrote in the PM to be true.
Although Telecom does have a shitty history it really doesnt matter if hes just doing this to bridge the gap between players who cant get in to korean clans as easily as those who were really good. At least hes taking the initiative to better change his image (yes you can hate him forever it doesnt matter).
PM to me from GGzerG - "Nortac why did you have to post that derailing comment in the thread, you don't even play brood war, and I don't even think you ever did, you have no reason to even post in BW forums, besides the fact that you are still holding a grudge against me for what happened in LiNK lol .
I understand that you probably just feel inferior because you will never and can never beat me in BW or SC2. Hey lets set up a CW of the new clan im in , LaG, vs LiNK and see how good you guys do? Me and you can play 1st in the CW, I mean of course you will either not tell LiNK or you guys will dodge, but I just want you to know I see right through your bullshit nortac.

UPDATE :
- Will now be helping people join "Fam's " and "Teams " on Fish as well as the Clans, right now there is only 1 Fam being added, but it has a lot of good players, and the master of this first Fam or Family " Mapae Fam" , is ran by [NeOx]Mapae, a member of [NeOx] clan, Unfortunately NeOx did not accept the program.
-Also in talks with another "Gom Team", will be updated on whether they agree or not within a day or so.
Seriously, it would be so easy for one of you lot to just stop your e-peen contest and then the other one would be ranting and raving by himself and look like an idiot, instead of having the whole bunch of you looking like idiots.
Ok...I shouldn't of PM'ed either one of them it was pointless and I should of controlled the fact that I got angry, my apologies, now if we could please move forward and if people can stop posting pictures because of personal vendettas and purposely derailing a thread that is providing good content, that would be wonderful.
I have a very strong inclination to dish out a lot of bans to a lot of people in this thread... but I'm tired. If this manages to get back on track by the time I wake up and re-check it tomorrow, everyone is safe, ok?

on topic, what is exetly the diffrence between teams, fams and clans?
Well, basically each player is allowed to have 1 Clan, Multiple Fam, and multiple teams(This is the way it used to be on USWest, pretty sure it is still the same as I haven't seen anyone in more than 1 fam yet, but have seen people with multiple teams), Clan's have a tag and you can obviously only be in 1, they play in clan battles( or clan war) , and clan leagues on Fish,
a Fam ( or family ) , is a group of players from various clans, fam's will also play vs other fam's, similar to clan wars, it is a nice place to network, and meet people from many different clans. They try to keep it very relaxed and chil environment in most fam's, relax, chat , meet people and talk about the game.
A Team is similar to a Fam, a Fam and a Team are both in essence, like a tagless clan, both fam and team's are very alike in the sense that it is a good place to meet people from various clans, if it is still the same how it was on USWest(forgive me I am still getting used to Fish), Teams are basically more hardcore version of fam's, there normally is a lot more Team's playing vs other Team's than fam's playing vs other fam's. Team's can also be a lot more difficult to join than fam's, in my experience fam's have always been very easy to join.
I think a lot of people could benefit from the /lsop chat command, it is a simple chat command on Fish that you can type in order to see the Clan, Fam, and teams each player is in ( Example : /lsop Ever)P(Telecom) And it would pop up saying... ( 1.Ever clan 2. Ever fam 3. Team 119- 4. Mapae Fam )
It can seem kind of confusing but it is really very simple.
Clans - You can be in 1, maybe the most difficult of all to join. (The backbone of this whole thing, once you get into a Clan, it is a lot easier IMO to join a Team and Fam.)
Fams - You can be in 1, maybe the least difficult of all to join. ( Relaxed chill gaming environment, nice way to meet a lot of people in other clans, mostly all really friendly people in Families.)
Teams - You can be in multiple ( many infinite not sure ) , maybe the 2nd most difficult to join aside from clans. (Plays in a lot of team battles, like clan wars, a lot more game playing focused than fam's)
EDITED : I see that you are allowed to be in multiple fam's, was informed incorrectly. So it is allowed to be in 1 clan, multi fam and multi team's, very fun.
While completely disregarding any past or present drama surrounding Telecom since this thread is neither the time or place to discuss it, I want to say that this program is awesome.
I got into a fish clan recently and they have been extremely friendly so far. There is no problem communicating with a lot of the members and it is pretty active (even considering it is like 4:30am in korea now).
If someone is around C- or higher and wants to start playing on Fish I recommend joining one of the teams through this cuz its a good way to get really nice practice partners / meet other people when ladder gets dull from time to time.
Very happy to have SnowFantasy join Qus. clan on Fish server, as it is one of the clans participating in the SL ( Special league) and it is a very popular / active, friendly, and good clan on Fish server, even has there own clan mark that looks totally sexy.
This is another big milestone in the Foreigners to korean clan program, because Qus. is a very nice clan on Fish, that will help to influence other clans, I don't think they will be accepting any more foreigners at the moment, maybe later on but I believe they want to only have SnowFantasy at the moment and work with him before they allow any more.
Qus. clan will not be added to the FTKCP List as they only accepted 1 foreigner so far, but they will be kept in mind, kept on a friendly bases, and when they earn more trust from the new member and me, then maybe they will decide to open there doors to more foreigners.
Team 1st- will be accepting foreigners through a certain process, you will have to go through certain people in order to join. More info upon post or PM.
Ever Fam- accepts, will start joining people to Ever Fam- through post, or PM.
As an update too: It's pretty easy to get a bunch of practice games / people are actively chatting away (with decent english too) like 24/7. With the TLS tournament coming up I've found this is a great way to practice. If you want to do more than just grind ladder games on fish or iccup then joining a fish clan is an excellent alternative whether it is through telecom or not
I only recently started going on Fish and ran into a lot of old friends that were on West server. That being said this is great for people to get into Korean teams now. Goodluck everyone~
Team Top- and Gom Fam- accepted a few foreigner players, I am not sure how long they will be accepting foreigners, so if you are interested post or PM, thanks.
P.S.- Team Top- is really ****ing good.
P.S.S- in talks with another team now.
EDIT : Team Top- accepts FTKCP ! Will join anyone I recommend ! Unless they accept so many foreigners that it bothers the team, come and get it while its hot.
I love mc. thanks Telecom for finding the clan for me they are soo nice and all like me! I know hangul and some korean key combos for words and after that I use zkorean.com and communication is enough to have a conversation!
I am glad to see people enjoying this and it working out in so many different ways to help others, the fact people are able to join Clans, Teams and fams, is just simply amazing in my eyes for the Foreign BW Community, the Language and other barriers between koreans and foreigners are being broken down, one day, clan, fam, team , at a time.
I hope that people continue to enjoy this initiative / program , getting a few people into a few clans , fams and teams every day since this was launched, I feel has really shown the progression and potential for this. Thanks everyone.

Ok well the more the merrier, I just added it because I met betang and it's good to have a place where people speak predominantly english as well.
I joined iOps and Team 1st, but I have no idea how difficult it is to join either of those teams. I think it's not very hard. Team 1st might be more difficult then iOps.

what rank are you???
i would love to hang around with these guys, yust tried to go to team 1st but nobody active thereTT
EDIT : Can a MOD please change thread title to "Foreigners to Korean clans, fams ,teams", because I wasn't anticipating to be adding Fam's and teams, and now there is Fams and teams, please thanks! ^^
UPDATE : [ArnC] accepts, please be fast to PM me on skype or Bnet or here, thanks. A revival Name Clan ..... OP updated.
UPDATE 2 : [fOu] accepts but with high regulation, 1300 points and or Jukdori time(Still being discussed) Keep in mind this is also to keep the program heading in the positive direction even if there are regulations on some.
Jukdori time just means meeting the members within the clan and being in the clan channel for a certain amount of time, it can be shorter or lesser depending on the person and effort, ect. involved.
My internet has been out, Been working 2 jobs, and I have seen little to no interest from people at the moment with this initiative, probably because iCCup is becoming more and more popular again, which is great. The people that are interested have just been PMing me, so that is why the thread hasn't been bumped lately, There will be more updates soon but as of now we have a nice amount of things, need more applicants really.
I'd love to join some fish clan where they practice alot together and not just play ladder and are all seperate inviduals, if you know what I mean.
Name: Arcneon[PaiN] Fish name: BOSS.Arcneon ((i think?) Might have made Arcneon[PaiN] there too, not sure) PGT High: A Current Iccup: B Fish high: 1350 Age: 25 Activity: I play currently on many days a week, cant play every day but prolly 3-5 days a week atleast a couple hours, and when I have day off from work I tend to make whole pan of coffee and just grind the f*** out of it Got about 10 ID's on iccup from C rank to B+ rank eich, so I cant be inactive atleast!
Old korean clans: ArtOf (ArtOfClaw), By. (By.Arcneon)
Most important thing I require from a clan is that they're active also, want to play with eich other, do stuff together... otherwise it's pretty pointless being in one.
If you need other info, just let me know. Thank you in advance!
Sorry for the Hiatus with this program, since I came back to BW I will be relaunching + rebuilding this program, stay tuned for more information, I will be redoing everything within the next couple of days to reorganize the OP , ect. Thanks for your patience and understanding... for now just PM me if you would like some help joining Clan, Team , or Fam.
Can't you just join any korean clan like a foreigner team? Go talk to them in their channels. If you get along and your skill matches their expectations they will pick you.

This ^. Oftentimes a person will simply be interested in the fact that you are a foreigner, so you become sc friends . Thats how I joined ErOs. Although it always happened after playing games with them on ladder or just random custom games. Usually non clan members who join channels get kicked lolz.

that's pretty interesting. How did you manage that? Isn't ErOs a strong korean clan or am I thinking of something else?

ps what's your iccup rank? C- at least?
I hit C+ in 2010 but I played mostly sc2 for the past 3 years (and when I played BW since then it was only on fish). I joined Eros late 2011 thanks to a guy named ErOs_Witty. I'm done with sc2 forever tho so its back to BW/dota for me .
Yea not saying it's not possible for people to join clans , fams or teams without this but I think it's nice to have a little organization / list as to what is possible to join and the ladder requirements of certain things if you were interested ( and if there was a requirement ), this is only meant to help the people who maybe don't know how things work on Fish.
from what I experienced most of these korean clans/teams dont really play w/ you...they just want to chat. I was in qus for months and no one wanted to play just talk. Was pretty pointless, if there's a clan that actually plays w/ you a lot let me know.

One thing about joining any korean Clan is that it takes time, you don't even want to join and immediately start asking for games, wait and let them ask you, give it a little time before you start asking for games, when you join you are a new face, and also a foreigner, so give them a little time to adjust to you and the fact theres a foreigner on there team, be cause alot of them don't speak to foreigners alot so they could actually be intimidated. Also it shows a little more respect just waiting a little before you ask people for games, like you didn't just join just to try to beat them.
a Fam is like a group of people from several different clans and teams that play together, participate in other events vs other Fam's, ect. ect.
So random question, how do you set your clan? I can see when people "/c m" messages but I can not send them out myself, when i try i get a message that shows a "/clan set" command but IDK what its saying TT.
