I really liked the podcast. It’s great to listen to in the background as I’m throwing down code, actually. Just a note that I wanted to share, (on a topic which I’m sure Rob remembers well):
I’m sure you’re keeping this in mind, but creating a “competitive” separate group from the main clan can create some problems. Rob, as well as several of the older members I’m sure remembers some of the concerns that can come about because of this.
I’m not saying that this is a bad idea. Far from it – I actually prefer studying strategies and tactics in order to improve performance not only individually but also as a flexible and adaptable team – But this just needs to be kept in mind, similar to what Rob mentioned:
These teams cannot become the “elite” of the clan. Yes, they may be good, but if a clique forms, and these “competitive” teams becomes a thing of status, it’s a journey down a rather difficult and prideful path.
Just be careful with it.
Oh! And I’d also love to see a rotating server schedule. That’d be cool, and good to know.
i’d like to see this as well. maybe the CQB server could switch DLC’s every week or so, leaving Goddess’ server as the vanilla conquest server.
Well actually, they way I am seeing it, it will come down to those who are the most dedicated to working as a team. KDR will be less important than patience and control. These will be the traits most looked at I think..
Also if this works and people grab onto this idea, we can look to assemble teams on the fly to participate in some of these other matches. There is a lot to learn as we grow like this and it is not like there is a handbook on how to organize all this..
my view on the team thing is instead of a full team we should start looking at more organised squads, if the same 4 people are playing in battles in the same squad they’ll get better together and from that they’ll be better at playing than a 4 man squad of TLN who play together every now and again. then when it comes battle time we do a squad try out so that squads who play and practice together are kept together with their complimentary playstyles.
That is very good idea, smart.
Thanks Fury and your points are well noted.. It would not be a elite group but more that the members play and act as a team. They can follow orders and is willing to put the team and the win before their stats..
CFD these things are NEVER pg13 LMAO
So basically I need a member to counter me… sounds good, laughed at beginning because its true. This was a great podcast but what happened to Dexter he did not speak much.
He was your counter LMAO
CFD great idea on the rotation, genius!!!
Orbital strikes!!! YEAH!!! time to train and buy my titan ship skills. You will be fully covered from above.
Nice chioce of video, oh wait its me what the fuck!!!! LOL, great music too
Yes, you welcome… Tech…
Also I am looking for a guest for this weekend’s short TalonCast, that is if Fstncartillry is not available… If interested send me a Private message…
The week after next we are going to have a very special TalonCast panel which is sure to be a host of laughs and some insight too..
well this very special taloncast panel should be fun to be at
He he Rocket said he was gonna do Fstn next week LMAO just LMAO
If you listen carefully enough, I corrected myself..
i noticed i LOL’d
I found this website called http://www.gamersportal.com/ and they have scrim nights so we can meet other clans. Its basically Facebook for gamers. I think it could help us become more competitive which I would be very interested in.
Thanks Sniper great suggestion… OH, nice to have you back….
We’re set up there now.
All those on Gamer Portal should find TLN and apply.. Those who have been invited already, please accept your invite.
Applied.
Wow nice cast guys. I feel like an idiot,didn’t know we had such a thing. A few comments on your server topic. What if the practice server was used a few hours a day twice a wk for members wanting to learn team management.The same server could be used to help your squads get ready for clan battles without interrupting those who are looking for conquest and rush matches. Basically one server mostly open for close quarters and premium maps, at times practice matches designated time, and close it to public for clan comp training. just a thought. I would also like to know how many members play EVE Online. I would be willing to restart it and try it again if some of you that I play with here are on.
Roach you should listen to past cast…
LMAO

Here is the link to the first one…
Ok Roach, I have created a practice session calendar post for July 11th as I am sure no one will want to practice on July 4th.. Check it out and comment on the practice session post if you like this format.. That goes for anyone else who may want to comment.. Feedback is key people…
we’re two Taloncasts down, i enjoy listening to these when they’re released when the missus goes to work.
There was no Taloncast last week and this week’s has been delayed as I have been rather busy, but I should have it up tomorrow. I’ll be less busy next week so it should be on time.
good times, was just confused, they’re quite funny,
