Podtacular Pro clans are evolving

*This is only for the pro clans.* If you are in a rec clan or you’re not in a Podtacular clan, everything stays the same.

The pro clans are a good idea, no doubt. But they weren’t working in most cases because some small teams just didn’t gel together. So some teams just never played and therefore never had a chance. After thinking this over, we have found a solution.

h3. Halo 2, _Planetside_ Style

The idea is that we have 2 big teams but smaller teams within those that get to compete within tournaments. So like “platoons” or whatever of 4-person teams representing their bigger team (PodtacularPro A or PodtacularPro B ) so that while one platoon will win a tournament, it comes down to adding up the points to see which bigger team wins. Get it? We’ll work out the tournament details soon, but for now here’s the breakdown of where each team consolidates to:

|{background:#f0f0f0; border-bottom: 1px solid gray;}. PodtacularPro A|{background:#f0f0f0; border-bottom: 1px solid gray;}. PodtacularPro B|
|Pro D|Pro C|
|Pro E|Pro F|
|Pro H|Pro G|
| |Pro I|

There are now 2 overlords per pro clan and the current overlords should be moved over as staff for the mega-clans. If you’re in a pro clan you’ll be getting an invite to either A or B depending on the table above. You can still play with your team of course, and even compete with them in tournaments. Post in the comments if you have any questions. Continue reading

Where’d everybody go?

*UPDATE* – Somehow, in another strange turn of events, the original map has returned, with everybody’s pins intact. Go figure…

Somehow, our entire Frappr map went missing. Don’t know what happened but it’s a shame too because last time I checked I think we had like around 250 pins on the map. And then POOF!–it was gone.

So I started it all over again. It’s a clean slate now, so get over there and add yourself and represent your part of the world!
