Background & Philosophy of FTP

The background of Free Team Players.

FTP was founded to provide a gaming community for the players who:

- Do not really wish to commit to the raw hours (or money) it takes to be part of a clan.
- Have grown tired of the endless string of "every player is a Rambo unto himself" games; that seem to be all that is available when one is not in a clan.
- Do not become blind-rage angry when their team loses a map.
- Likes to play the game and realizes it is after all, just a game.
- Have noticed that if everyone will focus on the mission, even a team of very average players can overcome a group of very good loners.

The Philosophy of Free Team Players.

We are about fun, team work, and good sportsmanship.

Fun:

Its a game, people. We play it to have a good time.

Teamwork:

FTP is about working together to complete the mission(s) of the map. It is not about your Splatter Ladder rating or your kill to death ratio. No matter how many times you die, if your team wins the map, that is victory.

Good sportsmanship :

A well balanced and challenging game is more fun for everyone. Playing well with others and helping to keep the game fun for all is the hallmark of good sportsmanship. Remember, when you wear an FTP tag, you represent the entire tribe. (but we are all human, and everyone can have a bad day.)


What you can expect from FTP:

First of all, we are not a clan, but more of a tribe. FTP is about enjoying the game when you have time, and want to play. We do not require you to have Team Speak, Ventrillo, X-fire or any other extraneous programs.

What FTP will expect from you:

FTP communicates in English on the web site and on the game server. (except for private messages of course) This is not because English is any better than any other language but simply because English is a language shared by the majority of our members. Please do not think you need to be a master of English. as long as you can read this, you are fine.

No intentionally abusive player names or posts. Although we are pretty unrestricted in the language, images, humour, and mood of this site and on our server, we cannot have our members harassing each other. So enjoy yourself but please be considerate of other people's feelings.

FTP does not allow any cheats. This includes questionable cvar manipulations, or hack scripts such as rapid fire, aimbots, walhacks etc. Anything that creates an unfair advantage is forbidden. If you feel you must cheat, FTP does not want you as a member. There are many clans and servers that welcome such things. We are not among them.

All aspiring members participate in a trial period. Do not confuse this with a try-out. No one will be assessing your skill level, or knowledge of the game. This is just a chance for the tribe to get to know you, and for you to get a good feel for what FTP is all about. This period will lasts about 28 days (give or take a week or so) We like to induct as many members at once as possible, so the duration of the probationary period may not be exactly 28 days.

At the end of the trial period (or any time in the interim) either party (FTP or the probationary player) are free to terminate the trial and go their separate ways with no hard feelings.
