    This may not be a job, but you are expected to reach certain quotas of level, you are expected to be active, you are expected to be able to communicate in English, you are expected to be of some caliber. There are only 200 slots in the faction, and when an applicant wants to join when we only have 10 of those slots left, or even 50 as we did for a good time, they are filling one of those slots that could be given to a better applicant if this applicant was not screened for qualities. There is a reason why Infamy has such a high degree of stability, it is because produce rules and after we make them we follow them. Rules are a necesity in everything, videogames expecially since you have no basis for caring about other people, you have no basis for NOT trash talking someone, get my point? Applications are there so we can get the best suited people for our faction, not so we can make the game feel like a job, but you do have responsibility to uphold certain characteristics and standards just as in any other thing you do.

    If you can't get a feel for someone based on a few mins textual convo, then you are seriously lacking in leadership skills.

    KNOW what questions to ask and be observant of their gameplay. That will tell you a lot more about them as a player and potentially good guildie than some stupid app. on a forum.

    From my understanding, Infamy isn't as stable as you all like to claim. 'Nuff said.

    I dont' think any faction can claim to "not have drama", I think that every faction has drama in it no matter what. So the amount of drama never really sets apart a faction, I think what sets apart a faction is how they deal with it instead.

    Just uploaded so some inexperienced barbs can get a grasp of gamma. Me Esuana, Nightrage, Charisma, and 2x nonfactor wizards b:cute Yobroski quitting very sad. A protip for gamma i learned like the last run i did... if you get right under the final boss then he turns around steps back and turns back around. Good for pushing him around where you want him to be, or buying yourself time to not be attacked.

    Also everyone should stop leveling so fast making me look bad.

    Again, we are a TW faction, we will keep TWing. We(infamy) are sorry for being too good and having to much land?
    Doesnt make sense that everyone is flaming that we will ruin the game and the fun for others. If you have a problem with it bring it up with PWi, we didnt make the game, we just play it the way it was ment to be played.

    Yes I know , lol , infamy has to do it's own thing . It's up to the rest to try and fight it . I didn't blame you guys for " ruining the game" , any1 in your place would be needed to do the same .

    Even so , for the sake of keeping the server more fun there have to be some ppl that are willing to pass on joining a good faction , do things the hard way , put up with allot of **** ( in leadership cases ) , get used to having lots of losses in TW even if it's 1 after another and keep trying , basically ppl with nerves of steel .

    There have to be SOME ppl like that in this server , it's too early for it to die so fast . Hell , I've already seen lots of ppl saying how it sucks and their going back to their original ones or just quitting .

    Just my 2 cents .


    +1 QFT...and yes ive seen "SOME ppl (with nerves of steel) like that in this server"...+1 to them as well

    Exactly, no doubt there will be newer factions to rival Infamy at some point. But honestly I've been in Aurora for a long long time, then I finally decided enough was enough and applied for Infamy.

    No one ever said Infamy was drama-free, but it sure as hell is a world of difference compared to the above-mentioned factions.

    That said; ppl will always hate on *any* faction, Infamy is no exception.

    This is a game not a job.

    It's like that in many strong an long-lasting factions. Cuz judging ppl by their attitude and way of talking shows, that the faction cares about more than lvl and equips.
    i just want to ask one thing and i want an honest answer. Have you, Andro, ever, when someone was in another faction, pm them and try to persuade them to join Infamy.

    Even so, if ppl get convinced that easily then their actual faction doesn't fit them.
    "Oh no he stole my army, how should I continue my Blitzkrieg against Infamy like that? b:cry"
    Stop tryin to bad-mouth others and not bringing any other argument except some childish assumptions.
    Pisses me off if someone comes into a discussion just tryin to provoke a specific person. At least try to act matured, if u don't want to make a fool out of urself.


    Lol, i feel like defending Infamy but that's not the case. I just like how things are handled there...I'd never join the red faction cuz i hate joining winning teams xD
    Tryin to support your own faction as good as u can is the challenge in this game, cuz it seems to be harder than anything else.

    + to cyber with QQme is much more exciting b:dirty

    Sorry I didn't bother to read past page 5 since it was all the same stuff over and over again. Here are my comments >.<
    who is infamy? I will join you take lvl 5's? Hope is my friend I swear

    Who are you o.o..........
    How can you hate a faction? It's hard to hate people you don't know already (knowing them on the internet is not what I mean), but a whole faction?
    I've met more kiddies with QQme tag over their head, but I can't imagine hating the whole faction bcause a bunch of them behaves like 3year olds.

    Actually, not true. When a few of us were doing this huge red eyeball boss which because I have such a bad memory, can't remember the name of it, a member of a guild that I will not name started to swear at us and say things that were obviously not true. I'll post screenshots later if you guys want, I'll have to go through 1-2 computers to find them >.<

    And people have said whispers to me about how awful Infamy is and that, because I am in Infamy myself, I'm a total failure. I've been excluded from BHs because I am in Infamy which like, makes no sense at all >.<

    People also have this weird idea that all of us are cash-shoppers and that we waste our entire life on this game. This is totally not true obviously. Like seriously, for me I spend most of my money on donations to organizations and charities, and I put only $10-60 into the game a month. What do I do with all that money? Heres one link to a single post from the a thread in the Harshland subforums :P

    Additionally, I would like to say this. Joining this server on day one, I've seen the server's ups and downs in things like the market, guilds, etc. If you guys remembers, Infamy was not originally the best guild on this server. The top guilds in alphabetical order were Aurora, Empire, Infamy and Insight. Other guilds were close but not enough.

    In my opinion of course, I was betting that Insight was the best and that it would be the most major threat. Obviously not due to some issues in their guild. But some stuff happened and Empire went down. Next thing you know, Aurora and Insight went down or at least part way. What happens next? Infamy is the last one standing, therefore making it "the best" guild in the server.

    I bet that if none of the drama and stuff happened in the other guilds, Infamy would not be the best guild or be tied with another guild. But thats not reality and we are currently the best. So stop the QQing about how awful we are please, if another guild was at the top, you guys would be QQing about them instead b:surrender

    You may ask anyone who was not originally an Infamy member. Everyone applies. Everyone is met by a recruitment officer in game, and every one is interviewed on vent for an average of 30-45 min before entering Infamy. This is not a faction with open or revolving doors. If someone leaves, they have to wait a week and must reapply and meet current faction lvl requirements. If they leave 3 times, they are out for good, depending on the reasons of course. If you think we just accept anyone with open arms, you are wrong.

    Wow is this right or what b:sweat I personally love commenting on application forms because you can see and read who the person really is. And I've personally been under the one week waiting period too when I rage quit...

    Plus, I've already left the guild twice >.< So I know how I can't risk being kicked out since then I can't ever come back.... b:cry But yeah, as said, you can't just say, 'I'm one of the best players in the server, invite me please and thank you' Everyone applies :3

    p.s. If something is weird and yeah, ignore it please >.< I'm sick here and bored to death of doing nothing so I'm on the forums lol :P

    How to make a faction that doesn't suck.

    1. Set standards. Let people know what's up. I'm a strong believer in a person's ability to be good. Just because they act like a jackass somewhere else, doesn't mean they can't behave. That was just acceptable for them in their faction. Maybe they can conform to rules.

    2. It's ok to have empty spots. Ever since we upgraded to level 3 (first on the server) we've never had more than 190, and it took us until recently to get there.

    3. Levels are worthless. I don't mean recruit anyone or don't have requirements, I mean don't take someone based solely off their level. If you're being an obvious jackass, I don't care what your level or class is. RIP Tophole.

    4. Don't be stingy on the kick button. GSnipes being an intolerable bigot making the **** people feel uncomfortable? Bye, have a nice time in Insight. Not keeping up with levels, as you agreed? Bye bye Vent owner, we'll get a new one.

    5. "Everyone come to OT! There are people to PK!" No. Pk factions fail, always. Go level, stop wasting time and money. If you want to PK, that's your business. You dropped something? Don't plan on getting me riled up, that's your own fault.

    6. "We r the strongst on tha server plz be my Tw allience buddy plz frnds pls." Lol, no thanks Insight, Empire, Aurora, and Exodus. you should be worrying about how long you have left on the map.

    7. That faction pisses me off, let's go attack them. No thanks, I'd rather strategically surround a city and make it more secure before taking it.

    8. All in all, just being cold and ruthless wins out sometimes. It earns respect to a degree and I can still have a good laugh in Vent, even at my own expense.

    9. Recruit people that can speak English. Once again, I don't care what level you are or how good you were in Brazilian PW, if you can't communicate effectively, get out.

    10. Wait until the faction is well established to promote officers. It prevents bad things from happening, such as making Olee marshal. (Kidding, he wouldn't even be let in faction. Lol!)

    Not sure about Andronikos, but I sure as hell have. When I'm running Gammas with people and all they talk about is how much their faction sucks, I make it a habit to throw the URL into squad chat.

    That's why I'm not paranoid about bribes. Make a faction that doesn't suck, as seen above, and you don't care if the odd person leaves. Convince them to leave, I don't care. But you're sure going to have to try really hard to make someone leave Infamy.

    Ure a LIAR, u invited me to Infamy first day of server when u was radom inviting every1 ,we even did speak about it. and u dont know the **** I made for Insight so shut the fack up.TBH I would never join a faction with a leader that got banned because of FAKE BIDS, and then he comes and says he doesnt belive in allies and so on, well **** it, I rather have my own allies than FAKE BID, at least allies arent agaisnt the rules.

    the 90 % of the stuff u say is just what u know ppl wants to hear sigh keep going that way. lets see if u insult me as u do in game tho. looking forward for u tell me the good words u say in game :)

    I was looking at the top 50 list, 30 are in INfamy, 8 are in QQme, 12 are everything else, including factionless. Yes these are some good tips. I would add a few more cept they would probably be too controversial.
