Top 10 F.A.Q. about Tsunami Gaming
Posted: December 8th, 2006, 6:01 pm
Here is a list of the top ten frequently asked questions about Tsunami Gaming:
- QUESTION: Are you a huge clan or something?
ANSWER: No, we are not a clan at all. We are a collection of gamers, their sites, their servers, and their communities. We are the brain and backbone of the communication system between these people and their sites. Each clan has its own name, its own tag, its own leadership, its own website, and its own private forums. - QUESTION: How would you summarize TsuGaming?
ANSWER: "Tsunami Gaming facilitates both competitive and non-competitive gameplay through quality leadership, and is built on a strong ethical foundation." - QUESTION: What is the quick history of TsuGaming?
ANSWER: Tsunami Gaming was originally known as 'The Tsunami-Alliance' and operated on http://www.tsunami-alliance.com. This site has since been closed because we have moved to a more memorable URL. The original and founding members of this community were once part of a Command & Conquer: Renegade clan known as {RT-E} and were mostly competitive gamers. For awhile, RT-E tried to be a multi-gaming community but continued to failed under its design flaws. It was at this time that fl00d3d (the Tsunami Gaming founder) started Tsunami Gaming. Almost 90% of the RT-E clan left to join Tsunami Gaming and we have been evolving ever since. Though our group has seen some changes and was technically formed in late 2002, the current name and design model was created in January of 2006. As you can see, we have grown quite a bit and have a very promising future. - QUESTION: What are "Managers"?
ANSWER: A manager is a Staff or Network Staff level position. These are people who are responsible for core functions of the network including managing subcommunities, interviews, staff teams, etc. - QUESTION: What are "Subcommunities" and how are they formed? Can I form one?
ANSWER: Subcommunities are officially sanctioned subdivisions of the network. Generally speaking these are for a specific game that is popular within TGN. Subcommunities may be started by any member but must be approved by the Founder or a designated Community Manager (manager of managers). - QUESTION: How does the forum system work? Why do you have multiple sites?
ANSWER: For those that don't know, forums are a collection of forums (more than one forum). Each clan or site usually has their own forum(s) which itself contains a bunch of forums. The community has many sites a deep forum structure, but all of these sites are ultimately a part of the Tsunami Gaming Network (TGN). The main forums are the center of communications, and each subcommunity focuses only on themselves. All things can be found from the TsuGaming.com website and forums. - QUESTION: Does TGN support or sponsor clans? How would I form my own clan? Can there be more than one clan per game?
ANSWER: Clans are organized groups dedicated to a higher level of coordination and skill. TGN will provide any clan with forum space and a teamspeak channel free of charge. Any member may form their own clan and run it however they see fit. There may be more than one clan per game. If you are not happy with a TGN clan you may form your own TGN clan! - QUESTION: I already have a developed clan or community and would like to merge with you. Where do I start?
ANSWER: Clans are easy to incorporate as the only thing we need to do is facilitate your forum/teamspeak changes. The only requirement would be TGN acquiring network-level authority and hosting privileges so that we can properly integrate you. You will still retain your name and authority. Community mergers are much more challenging and require a meeting of senior leadership to negotiate leadership positions and content migration. Clans should speak with the Clan Manager and Communities should speak with the Community Manager. - QUESTION: Are you hiring for any community-type positions?
ANSWER: We are ALWAYS looking for qualified programmers, graphics developers, game modders, and experienced web developers. If you have that geeky experience and are willing to put in the time to help us, please read through the list of available positions in the Job Offers forum and apply. - QUESTION: My question isn't listed here - so who do I ask or where do I post?
ANSWER: Your best option would be to make your own topic in the Help Me forum.
