New Icons 64 Sea Snipers are Recruiting!!! (RECRUITING IS CLOSED!)

SEA SNIPERS – Elite Tactical Clan – Recruiting for Xbox 360

OVERVIEW

The Sea Snipers [SS] are a tactically-proficient, professional, highly-trained squad of elite gamers. We take gaming seriously and work to promote mature, tactical gameplay.

Born in October of 2002, we began competing in SOCOM 1 on the PS2, and have competed in SOCOM 2, SOCOM 3, SOCOM Combined Assault, Rainbow 6 Vegas 1, Rainbow 6 Vegas 2, COD4 and are currently competing in Call of Duty World at War on the 360 and COD4.

PROFESSIONAL PROJECTS

We have become known for our structure, discipline, professionalism and organization as well as for work on various strategy guides. Piggyback Interactive hired us to author and illustrate the multiplayer section of the Official SOCOM 3 strategy guide. After seeing our work on the SOCOM 3 guide, Brady Games hired us to author and illustrate the Official SOCOM Combined Assault, Call of Duty 4, and Call of Duty: World at War strategy guides. You many have seen our SEA SNIPER TIPS throughout the COD guides.

You can find more on the COD4/COD: W@W guides, including details on our trip to Infinity Ward, here http://seasnipers.net/forums/showthread.php?t=8957

BROTHERHOOD

The Sea Snipers promote a tight-knit sense of brotherhood amongst the members. We work to help each other excel in real-life as well as in the gaming arena. Most of our members are long-standing brothers with 5+ years in. This is the last clan they’ll ever join. Hence our motto – SEMPER FRATRES – Always Brothers

Our members have an average age of about 30 and many of us are active or ex-military. Every year, we get together for multiple events, including our annual conference/party – SniperCon. Highlights of past SniperCons are shown on our website, and activities have included guided tours of Navy ships, full access to F-22’s and Navy hovercraft, full-auto test sessions with a variety of hardware, and most recently firing .50 caliber Barrett sniper rifles and other various assault rifles.

MEMBER RECOGNITION

The Sea Snipers use a ranking system for our members similar to the Navy. You start out as a Recruit and must work your way up the ranks. We have a promotion/demotion system in place that lets you control your own destiny working your way up the ranks.

In addition, we have a large number of medals that can be awarded for valor on the battlefield and showcased in your signature. This commendation systems allows teammates to bestow awards on each other. You can find a full list of medals and ranks under the ‘AWARDS’ button at www.seasnipers.net We also offer Service Posters (and many other products) that can be viewed in the SS store located at http://www.cafepress.com/seasnipersstore

CODE OF CONDUCT

We have always recruited the man and not the skills. We have built a reputation unheard of among video game clans. Thus, we expect our members to behave in a manner consistent with the Sea Sniper flag they carry. This means no cheating, glitching, or unsportsmanlike conduct. We treat our opponents with respect, in hopes to receive the same in return.

FORUMS / COMMS

We host a very active forum at www.seasnipers.net/forums with thousands of members and thousands of posts. This provides a way for all active members and recruits to have daily contact. In addition, we have an entire private section for members with everything from Breaking News to Tactical Planning, an entire War Room where we create and sign up for matches, practices and tournaments, and we also stay in close communication via AIM, email, and telephone.

S.E.A.L. LEAGUE

We run our own underground league called S.E.A.L. (Sea Snipers Evade & Assault League) since Socom 2, and we're going on our 14th season. The league is played with rules that make COD a squad-based, non-respawn tactical shooter, rather than the run-and-gun style of play that you find in most public rooms. See more (including a cool flash intro) at www.seasnipers.net/seal

NOW RECRUITING – DO YOU HAVE WHAT IT TAKES?

• Do you have a router that will allow you to be on AIM and COD4 at the same time? AIM is a vital part of our communication pipeline, we use it for pre-practice and pre-war briefings as well as for getting subs in for anyone that might have gotten booted etc. AIM is NEVER used to cheat EVER.

• Please give us a little personal info about yourself. Married, what do you do for a living, kids, military experience, etc.

• You may also not be in any other clan than the SS.


Thank you.

It takes a lot of time and effort for us to bring in a recruit, so please make sure you have the time and dedication to enlist. These people did not, and rang the bell...

Yeah, I thought that was where I remembered you from but wasn't 100% sure. Anyway, good luck with everything and maybe see you online at some point, you do know we are on the 360 though, right?
