OCG
was designed to be a dominating team and a home to dedicated gamers. Since
our creation we have proved why we are a cornerstone to the gaming community
by providing quality servers and highly-competitive game
play. We have stood atop every ladder we have played in and not
many teams can say that. Our team members are some of the best to play
the games we play and our team- work is second to none. We are committed
to fair and cheat free gaming and work hard to keep that reputation on
our servers and in matches. We wont claim to be the best. And we wont
claim we are elite. Our record will speak for itself.

If
you are new to online gaming, you will find that online teams are taken
just as seriously as any other sports team. We are a team in every sense
of the word. And we do take our gaming and team seriously. So if you are
not serious about gaming, then this really isn't the place for you.

1.2 History of OverClocked Gamers
|
TOP
|
|
|
|
The rise of OCG: November 10,2001
|
|
|
|
OCG was created by: Basic, Fear and GabooN
|
|
|
|
OCG
was created in late November of 2001 by three
gamers that were former members of a gaming group that
concentrated on one game, Mechwarrior 4.
The whole idea of OCG was to start a group to keep in touch with
friends and to enjoy gaming online. One
of the biggest focuses for OCG was playing multiple games,
and participating in several leagues.
All of us were in the same gaming group, Clan
Crimson Scorpion and after almost 2 years
of membership to that group we all grew tired of playing Mechwarrior
all the time. So we left
CCS and started OCG.
|
|
|
|
The Idea of OCG
|
|
|
|
The
idea of OCG is that there be few rules and allot of games.
There would a few games we play more than others,
but for the most part we would play several games.
Also, OCG would be a Democracy
.Everything that needed changed, added,
or removed would be voted on by all in the group.
The three people that started the group
would be able to overrule final votes in
extreme situations, but 99% of situations would
be solved by voting. This way there is no bickering
over leadership and promotions.
|
|
|
|
The Name "OCG"
|
|
|
|
The
name OCG came from all starting members enjoyment for speed.
We all overclock some part of our system,
whether its the CPU, Video card,
Ram, or whatever. So
it was just a logical choice to combine the 2 things
we enjoyed. You've read how OCG came about so
enjoy the site and if your good enough maybe you will be invited to join
OCG. Until then I hope you don't have to play
against us because we are some of most hardcore
gamers you will ever meet.
|
|
2.1 Respect
|
TOP
|
|
|
|
Remember, respect is earned. While wearing our tag you are expected to
conduct yourself properly in front of your teammates and
opposing teams.
Disrespect and
ignorance are childish actions which negatively
effect OCG will not be tolerated.
Teasing and harassing is acceptable, as long as
it doesn't offend anyone! When it gets to the
point that someone is starting to get
annoyed, then please use wisdom. You don't like it when
someone pisses you off, so don't do it to them. |
|
|
|
2.2
Communication
|
TOP
|
|
|
|
OCG has several ways to communicate to other team members. Forums,
TeamSpeak, email, and instant messengers are all things we use often.
All matches and practices will be posted on the forums,
it is you're responsibility to check them, and and it is mandatory that
you post whether or not you can make a match or practice so that the admins
will have an idea of what they have to work with. If you say your going to
be there then your expected to show up.
Real life is something we all have. There
will be instances when we all may miss matches and/or practices, this
is perfectly acceptable. All of us play games
for fun and competition. But
we also enjoy the friendships
we make so getting to know everyone is encouraged.
|
|
TeamSpeak
is our primary means of communicating. You need to
download it and familiarize
yourself with this program. It is free and we have a fully dedicated server
for TeamSpeak. There is always someone in TS.
It is used in public game play as well as matches. If you need
help setting it up, see an Admin.
|
|
|
|
2.3
Recruitment
|
TOP
|
|
|
OCG wants to attract the most talented, most respected players
in online gaming. Therefore, we have created a unique and innovative
area for recruits. Please note that we will not consider you for
recruitment on your application alone. You must be active in our
Forums, be on Teamspeak 3-4 days a week gaming with members, and
and generally allow our members to get to know you.
|
|
Recruiting
is a 3 step process. |
1. Introduction.
2. Recruitment.
3. Membership |
1.
The Introduction stage is just that. You need to register on the site and
start introducing yourself to the team. Start playing
actively on our servers. At the current time, we have alot of regulars that
frequent our site and servers that want their chance at recruitment. When
we look at choosing a recruit, we approach a regular. Almost never do we
have open recruitment.
You must also
complete the Application form,
ensuring you complete all questions to the best of your ability.
This will help us to understand you, and your reason behind wanting to join OCG.
We think personality
and attitude are key factors, not skill. We
want a player who fits well with the team. Skill can be taught, chemistry
cannot. If your looking for a guideline to be
considered for recruitment, here is what we look for:
a) Be active on the site and servers.
b) Get to know all team members and spend time playing with each one.
c) Do not pester an Admin if he isn't gaming. He is probably busy with
responsibilities that need taken care of.
d) Enjoy yourself. Having a good time is addictive. Everyone always hangs
around the players that have a blast when online. |
2.
OCG's recruitment process is standard issue. Recruits
do not wear the team tag. They wear |OCG-R| before their nickname (ex. |OCG-R|Your
Name).
Recruits will participate in every
function a full member participates including competitive match play.
This allows the OCG members to see if they work
well with the new recruit. Recruits will also need to
spend alot of time online during their recruitment. During this time
the admins make sure that the candidate lives
up to the team code. Meanwhile, the recruit
also gets an idea of how OCG functions and whether or
not he wants to stay at OCG. |
*Note* A player will be a recruit for a minimum
of 30 days. After 30 days there isn't any obligation by OCG to review a
recruit or moved them up to the team. |
3. When OCG needs another player for their
competitive teams, the admins will then
promote recruits to member. The players that are consistent,
skilled, and driven by a positive attitude will
be offered membership to OCG. |
|
|
|
2.4
Promotions
|
TOP
|
|
|
Every new member of
OCG starts as just that, a member. There
are only two things you can be promoted to in OCG and that is as a Team Captain,
or an admin.
The reason it is like that is because we want player equality. Too many
times have we saw teams go down in flames because players thought they
were other players bosses. That isn't the case. It disrupts the balance
of a team. But we do promote players when positions are open.
A
players seniority, Usage of email,
forums, attendance at
practice and matches, improvements in your
playing
skills, and leadership
qualities are prerequisites if you want to be promoted. |

2.5
Member Responsibilities
|
TOP
|
|
|
|
In order to sustain ourselves and continue
to be a competitive force, OverClocked Gamers has issued the following rules
for full members.
1.
All members are expected to post for every match in their squad(s).
If you cannot make it, then post saying your not available.
To enforce this rule, the following penalties apply:
- If a player does not post for
a match two consecutive times, that player is placed on suspension for
seven days.
- If a player on suspension does
not post for a match during their seven day suspension, that player's
membership is revoked and they are
then moved back to the recruitment area.
- After a player is returned to recruitment, they forfeit all seniority
at OCG. They start over and must prove themselves again.
This rule is black and white. If
you are in OverClocked Gamers, you are expected to contribute. All admins
are active and therefore lead by example. You are here to compete. To
do that you need to be active. If you just want to be affiliated with
OverClocked Gamers then the ReGZ is the place for you. We are operating
under zero tolerance. Do not expect seniority or friendship to protect
you because it will not. Lastly, posting in match threads does not guarantee
you a place on the match roster. But we will do our best to keep things
fair as always.
- Also, all members are expected to be On Teamspeak if they are gaming online. This is to promote teamwork and to help build the team!

RCON Etiquette
|
TOP
|
|
|
With
several people having access to the server admin program, RCON, there are
some guidelines to follow to ensure everyone has an enjoyable time.
1.
Chain of Command WILL be followed. The highest ranking Admin in the server controls the server. If Undead is in the server, he outranks all Admin. He is the server guy. Then the Admins, Then Team Captains. And lastly, server monitors. This is the order we operate under. This is to
prevent several commands going on at once; i.e...changing maps,
restarting map,etc...
2. Anyone having RCON access can change maps, kick players, use console
voice, switch between friendly fire, and change gametypes. If gametypes or
FF is changed, change it back before you leave the server, unless someone
else with RCON is in the server and offers to change it upon their exit of
the server. Not changing the server back to its default
settings will result in a loss of RCON privilege.
3. During practice, only Squad Admin/Team Captains will use RCON. This is to
prevent confusion.
|
|
|
|
3.2
Competition Rules
|
TOP
|
|
|
|
These rules are to prevent confusion and
makes the team more cohesive in front of the opponent.
1.
Every team member is to stay at spawn and listen while the match is set
up.
2. NO team killing or opponent
killing.
3. Only the team leader is
allowed RCON.
4. The team leader is the only
one allowed to type in chat while setting up the match with the opponent.
5. NO custom skins. You will
use stock skins for every league match.
6. NO TAUNTING. Not with the
in-game scripts or by typing in chat.
Any negligence to these rules will result in suspension of your match
play privileges |
|
|
|
3.3
Practice
|
TOP
|
|
|
When a practice is held, every team member is expected to be there.
Always play the
position you are asked, even when it sounds stupid or
its not your
best weapon or spot. We
function as a team, not as individuals. After practice has gotten started,
ask if you can try another spot if your unhappy with your assignment. Admin
have the difficult task of preparing strategies and getting them executed.
Save your ideas for the forums. It will only disrupt training by stopping
practice to explain yourself and it will confuse teammates. |
|
|
|
3.4
Matches
|
TOP
|
|
|
|
Try to be in voice chat at least 1 hour before
an event. This is for role call and where positions and strategies will
be explained. Pay attention because he may something
that will affect you. At the beginning of each
match the leader needs the floor to announce
positions, get our team in order, and finalize settings with the opposing
team. For him to get this done quickly, everyone needs to refrain from talking
and tk'ing.
