I liked the name Athenian Guard. (not original, read posts above) The Athenian's were the Spartan's rivals. They were also more civlized. Do you know how to check you messaging? Because that is more efficient than email. I'll send both anyway.

okay sir william i Will respond to your email asap, i am not sure if i can get on at six as i am traveling but i will try if not just email me and we will work something out.

Next, if you are not that great don't worry with time comes experience and the clanmembers that i know ( or the ppl that i know that will be in our clan for sure) love to help new players and the clan is accepting all ppl at this time (excluding teamkillers and pri cks). In other words we are a n00b friendly clan, though most of us are experienced players.

Ok you said you were interested so here I go. Sorry is really long you might want to go get something to drink. First I believe it should be called the Athenian Guard mainly because the Athenian kicked spartan ass a long time ago. This name would be a subtle jab at other clans such as the Spartan Squad. Also Athens was one of the first places to consider everybody equall and if you read how the clan is organized you will understand how this applies. Thats my reason for the name.

As for how my new type of clan would work I'll explain. Everyone has a job on a team of 8 in a capture the flag game. The jobs consist of 2 assaulters, 2 drivers, sniper, gunner, defender, and a pilot. The assaulters can go by foot or ride in the passenger seat in the wart hog they are the main people to steal the enemies flag. They can use any weapons they choose except for the human and covie sniper rifles (the sniper is the only one who can use those weapons). The drivers, drive any land based vehicle ghost, tank, warthog, etc they are expected to stay in their vehicles at all times unless the flag happens to drop right near where they are. The sniper is what his name suggests they snipe they have to have atleast one type of sniper rifle in their inventory at all times, they do not steal the flag only assaulters go into the base to steal it. The gunner uses the LAAG, rocket launcher, and the mag lev gun on the back of warthogs or on the back of jumpjets if those are availible in halo 2 he like the drive is expected to stay in the vehicle at all times. The defender makes sure our flag does not leave the base he guards it and makes sure he can see it at all times. If it is stolen he is free to use any means necessary to get it back whether it be running, sniping, flying, or driving he can do them all. The pilot drive flyable vehicles such as the banshee or jumpjet. Once again every person is free to use what ever weapon they choose except the Sniper Rifles (both types) those can only be used by snipers and defenders when the flag is stolen.

I do not know if you have been in a clan before but if you have you would know that most clans have a ranking system this clan would not be like that. There is NO LEADER only a founder meaning that no one bosses any one around during a game everyone is just expected to do their job. The founder has the ability to make alliances with other clans and kick members out, political things such as that but in game he is as powerful as everyone else.

Now the way the job system works is once a person joins they pick the job they like most. Then when halo 2 comes out they would make their gaming name. Say they choose to be a sniper their name would be AG (Athenian Guard) S ( sniper) AG-S Killboy whatever they like. The way the tag system works is everyone put AG in front of their name and then a lable for their job. I'll right out all of them right now.

AG-A = Assaulter
AG-D = Driver
AG-S = Sniper
AG-G = Gunner
AG-F = Defender (F is for flag)
AG-P = Pilot

Now say you do your job for a month and your getting board of just sniping you can switch all you have to do is change your name to fit what job you want to do. Most clans also appear they are forcing people to pick colors and emblems that the clan leader wants them to have. The Athenian Guard doesn't do that we let people pick whatever color or emblem they want as long as they are on the same team when the game starts.

Now last but not least what happens if when a game starts the perfect 8 person set up doesn't work out. Say the game starts and there are 2 snipers and no defenders well one of them is expected to say "I'll defend for this game" the next game they switch. People are expected to be understanding if the founder finds out that people aren't aggeeing with each other a 3 strike rule applies if the incident happens in which both people refuse to defend and the founder hears about it 3 times on 3 different occasions he can kick them out.

I was reading some of the other posts about proffesional warthog flippers and "I want to be head of the snipers" There is none of that people can flip warthogs if the situation calls for it but by no means can it be considered a job. As for the sniper head there is none just like there is no leader there is no head of snipers all people are considered equal in skill because once you get people telling people what to do the game loses its fun. Please E-mail me back with your response. fencer.five@verizon.net.

Our clan will be organized kind of like this

Team Leader---- responsible for settling disputes, alliances, and supervising

Sniper commander---- a skilled sniper who selects people who have the potential to be good snipers and helps them out

tactical commander---- a person who is good at organizing things and planning and knows the maps

Land vehicle commander---- skilled driver who will select other drivers and knows his stuff, also in charge of selecting gunners.

Air vehicle commander---- skilled pilot who will select other pilots

frontline commander (a.k.a me)---- skilled fire team leader who selects other fire team leaders and selects also frontline soldiers who are very, very proficient killers that can work effectively as a team and also helps direct offensive vehicles. However, i am looking for guys and girls who can not only kill with a team but go freelance if nescessary and create diversions(sniper, blowing stuff up on enemy base, tank at enemy base, or just generally create havok.)

defense commander---- skilled player similar to an offensive player who will man turrets, pilot defensive vehicles, and stop an enemy near our base at all costs.

Everyone will still be equal the only difference is that there are people who can control things so that no single player gets out of hand and also you can switch as long as someone else can take over your position.

Athenians beating the Spartans do you even know history? The Spartans won the pelopponesian war! The Athenians hid in their city and allowed the superior spartan army to range over the countryside they only held out cause of their navy until Lysander ravaged the Athenian navy in 395 bc later forcing the Athenians into surrender so please dont post BS unless you know the facts okay.

Richard1000 and all the rest of The Athenian Guard name lovers i'm sorry but that is NOt our name, that was a suggestion from sir william. Our name wil most likely be Thermopylae's Spartans, The spartans of Thermopylae, or a variant of that name. However, i will still accept other name suggestions.

Also, again i will soon have a site up and running but before i do i need to find a clan name first.

For those who didn't know 500 spartans killed over 20,000 persians at the battle of Thermopylae.

Heres a quote from Dienekes the leader of the Spartans at that battle:

When told that the Persians had archers so numerous that their arrows would block out the sun, Dienekes replied, "Good. Then we shall have our battle in the shade."
