Templars were the first "clan" if I'm correct.

Feel free to correct me if I said it wrong.

IRC is not a c-rpg clan, it was there before. Staffmasters is the first clan-like thingy made for crpg.

Order of the Rose existed before Templars.

Also, I think Ninja is older than Templars.

I was the 3rd to join Templars, so I should (?) know  8-)

Well .... 4th if you count the Pope.

Yeah, my list was not in order, but I knew rose was the first "knightly" clan.

For cRPG it seems Ninja's and Templars.

However a lot of Native clan has become cRPG clans and they must be far far older.

Just dropping by to correct this thread:P

1. Order of the staffmasters
2. Guards (days/weeks after staff)
3. Ninja (few days after ^)
4. Rose (Day after ^)

Those were the first clans in cRPG, others came days if not weeks later.

No. There were definitely other clans before the guards. The guards didn't start up till after strategus was initially  announced.

ehh nope, i remember seeing guards running around at the early beginning of crpg along with some other clans when i was new and clanless for a couple months and there was no talk about strategus at that time at all, we had peasant wars and a couple of resets, man those where good times ^^

Wrong.

I checked this back when the old forums were still alive.  I also confirmed with others playing in that time-period / irc.
 Guards were the first real clan in cRPG, although not the most active one (like templars had 80++ people when growl were leading it).

(Reason i checked this, was because i thought ninjas were the oldest living clan in cRPG, but it turned out bane created guards before thomek made his ninja clan. I was a bit surprised too, thought he created his after ninja, rose & templars.

Last but not least, i checked EVERY clan thread on the old forum )

Those Grubby Serfs were the first clan to own a village in Strategus. They no longer exist, of course.

No rly?

and hey lisa, dont see you much around. (I guess you are a true ninja)

Without checking the facts, which is impossible since the old forums are gone forever.. I remember it like this:

1st group/playstyle-rules was Staffmasters created by Fasader (that ugly snatch). It was more a set of rules to follow than a real clan however.

I liked it and created the same, but on a more ambitious scale when I wrote the Ninja Guide.
(now found here: http://ninjaempire.guildlaunch.com/gwiki/index.php?page_name=default&gid=170558 (http://ninjaempire.guildlaunch.com/gwiki/index.php?page_name=default&gid=170558))

Soon after Rosewood made the Roses.

The guards I don't remember how early they were, but quite early for sure. We were all quite inspired back then.. It was not really clans, as many were afraid to make something that sounded so serious. For myself, it dawned at some point that I had made a clan, even though I insisted that we were not! When others started to call us a clan I realized what a terrible mistake I had made.

However, I would put Ninjas, Roses and Guards as the first real clans in cRPG in no particular order. Staffmasters was more a fun playstyle for perhaps 3-4 people total. (But they inspired the whole movement)

Weren's gonna be mad.

Made because the quarterstaff was OP in closed alpha (discovered by Calodine), Weren picked up on this and made the OP Staffmaster character, it would be about a week after cRPG was made public that Weren made the Staffmasters, which was by definition pretty much a clan.

First clan was STW, though there were only two of us.

Edit: ok maybe it was staffmasters. We were a bit slower off the markl XD
Title: Re: first clan?
Post by: Topsnus on June 23, 2011, 03:32:58 am
I remember when Bane made the Guards thread because i looked into it and he told me i was the first member. I ended up not being the first member because i didnt actually make the decision to join for a little bit. But im pretty sure the idea was created around guarding caravans in strategus.

Im not saying it was created WITH strategus. I am saying that it was created a little bit after chadz made the official announcement that cRPG was never intended to be a standal;one mod, and that it was instead all just a proof of concept for strategus.

Im not positive, but im pretty sure that when i saw Bane's post there were other clans already. His post may have been created first, but he definitely didnt have members till other clans existed.

Oh! So that's why Weren is the boss and super fast in the last wave of peasant round in DTV

Anything else that's dev-related Easter eggs in game that I don't know?

The order of the staffmasters is not dead, you're not up to date.
(click to show/hide)
I'd even say they greatly benefit from the recent "repair". But nowadays, i see so many medium/high armor people using the iron staff, it really doesn't feel right. Use a tunic with vest !

Depends on your view on 'serious clan'.  Both ninja & rose were first established as orders before they evolved into clans.
 There were codes of conduct, rank advancements & dress-codes in both these orders.
However, having looked at the date on every clan-thread on the old-forum, its non-disputable that guards is the longest living clan in cRPG. Only weren's order of the staffman were created prior to the guards.
 Guards were also the first clan to start using clan-tags. Ninja second and rose loooooong after. Even templars started using tags before rosewood's clan started using them.

I actually was put on the roster and took the tag later than you. However, i was the first person to post on the newly created guards thread who was interested in joining. If it still existed i would show it to you. He may have had the clan before that, but assuming the clan started when he made the clan thread on the forums, i was the first person to think about joining. I think he said he would give me some sort of rank or something, can't remember. By the time i actuallly did join, he already had a few lieutenants and i didnt get any fancy position, not that i really wanted one.

The point is that im near positive that there were several other clans around before the guards. The name Caravan Guard came from the idea of Caravans for strategus, so strategus was definitely announced first.
Title: Re: first clan?
Post by: Bjarky on June 24, 2011, 12:44:05 am
there was no talk about strategus at the beginning, probably need bane to answer on the idea for the name, it might aswell come from SP.
yes the thread was put on later, the guards started out with some BD (native clan) members and they where running around in early crpg already, but whatever we can be sure off, i'm fairly trusting in that lisa checked the old forum in a thorough fashion and forum- and crpg wise we're one off the first.
the rest are just details we can discuss forever without having real proof, fx: chadz was a guard visitors can't see pics , please register or login
Title: Re: first clan?
Post by: Topsnus on June 24, 2011, 01:34:04 am
strategus was announced a lot longer ago than alot of people remember. Strategus was announced maybe 4-6 months before it came out for the first time. And there were no clans in early crpg. I have played this mod on and off since there was one server that reset every 30 min. There were definitely no clans back then.
Title: Re: first clan?
Post by: Bjarky on June 24, 2011, 01:50:02 am
yeah me too, but i dont remember the discussions on strategus starting earlyer than our clan.
and i already saw some people using tags, but it was too long ago for me to remember all the details.
i pm'ed bane, hope he can answer us  :D
