New Members

Please congratulate and welcome the new members to our clan !:

• Holo
  
• Koala
  
• Roon/Rune

Regardless of your initial impressions/thoughts of them, please try to make them feel welcome as they are one of us now!

Future Recruitment

As of now, we do not intend to have recruitment again in the future. This is of course subject to change, we just need a break right now and we currently do not want to think about this.

However, if ever we decide to have it again, there will be huge changes in the process.
Although us mods+ already have a new one in mind (Still in early stage discussion), please feel free to post suggestions on our discord (#discussions tab).

Thanks for reading !
Have a great 2020 everyone !

Hi everyone, posted here is the summary from what was discussed and agreed upon in last week's meeting. Please take the time to read through it. I am not posting a tl;dr

Meeting duration:
About 2.5 hours

Attendees:
tarot, baka (For last 30mins~), Consolo, Filip, Detroid, Miya (Afk after 2 hours), Rexy (For first 30mins~), omar (Afk after 1.5hours), tapsa, Prizmo, Rulucy, Storm, val, Voltali,


Firstly, we will be changing the voting guidelines according to what was discussed. There shouldn't be anyone against this idea so it will be taking effect immediately.

You can only vote for each recruit with a 'Yes' or 'No', no neutral votes are allowed. This did not change, but do try to elaborate about your answer. Cite examples of some outstanding plays from this recruit if you are voting yes and have seen any.

Mention maybe you have seen said recruit trolling or teamkilling if you are going to vote 'No'. Mention you have played with this recruit about 1, maybe 2 years ago and elaborate about their skill back then if they are no longer active in ze.

These are just a few examples you can use. Try to do this so others who don't know this recruit can get a feel of their performance, and how they are like. This will maybe help to raise interest.

With that said, you must be responsible and answer for your own votes. If you are going to vote 'Yes' or 'No', you must be able to back up your vote. We are not asking for evidence, but just for you to vote using your own opinion and not the opinion of others'.

For example, you should not be pressured to vote yes for a recruit just because 90% of the Officers are voting yes. If the recruit has a ♥♥♥♥ attitude, mention so and vote 'No'.
Likewise, if you see some god tier skill in a recruit, and a somewhat decent attitude, i don't see why you would be voting 'No'.

If a decision has been made for an application to be accepted into Rec, that applicant will be made a recruit for the '1-month evaluation process'. During this 1 month, we cannot back out of our decision and remove this player anytime before the 1 month is up.

We will just be voting accordingly when it is time. So if you are going to be voting yes for someone to join Rec, be completely sure of your choice as anyone with the Rec tag will be representing us for a month!!

As everyone knows, ĞΣŠ is moving further away from the ZE scene. At this point of time, we do not want to accept or deny anyone purely based on their ze skill.

However, ĞΣŠ is still a ZE clan at its core. So with that said, we encourage you do a 50-50 evaluation of each recruit/applicant during the voting process.
50% should be based on their communication, and if they interact with us. Someone can be a decent ZE player but communicate with us in Discord alot, said person would get more points in the communication side.

Communications at this point should be done through Discord as it is our main form of communication. However, we understand some players can't use discord (it is banned in China for example), but we hope these players will make an effort to use steam's group chat or PMs.

The other 50% should be based on the qualities we are looking for in a ZE player. If you forgot what those are, you can refer to ĞΣŠ Rec's profile page. We of course, will not tolerate any hardcore trolling or team-killing whatsoever.

A side note about trolling:
There are many types of trolling present in the ZE player base at the moment. As per our discussion, trolling will be classified into 2 categories "hard trolling" and "soft trolling".

"hard trolling" would define the acts of unnecessary team-killing or attempting to prematurely end a ZE round when CTs still have a chance to win. Just to name a few examples:
Knifing zombies into teammates, intentionally dying with map items, not healing the team when bahamut uses ulti in mako, earthing/graving the team at lasers, not using map items as required, item usage detrimental to the team, troll voice commands, etc

"Hard trolling" will absolutely not be tolerated !

"Soft trolling" mostly defines silly and random item usage that seldom affects the team or does, rarely to their benefit. These 'strats' can be seldom seen and not very common.
Just to name a few examples: yektima, healing yourself with heal and not the team to "trim", random item usage that affects neither teams, etc

"Soft trolling" is generally looked down upon, but we understand when some tactics are necessary. Still, we ask for you to look out for these during the rec period, and bring them up pertaining to a recruit if necessary.

Controversial : Using holy at the Chaos (middle) platform in Westersand has been agreed to be "hard trolling" as there is usually no benefit in casting it there. It effectively blinds pretty much everyone and results in a flash just long enough so players have to guess 1x laser.


Everyone here is encouraged to spectate the recruits for evaluation. This includes actually playing/spectating on the server they frequent, even though they are generally non-english servers. E.g ZED, NIDE, RSS, Possession, etc.

Likewise, recruits are also encouraged to play on the English servers, or make an effort to play on the servers we frequent. Basically this should work both ways, so it is ultimately fair for both sides.


We have discussed some ĞΣŠ Invasion/events, whereby as many members as possible join a server and play.

This topic has been brought up many times in the past, but no events so far have taken place. If you would like to bring up a session, you can do so on our discord.

As per our discussion, we have many who are enthusiastic about this one.


So as everyone knows, we do have a few inactive members in the group.

By inactive, i mean offline or away for an extended period of time without any communication whatsoever. If members join discord and chat regularly, or basically just play alot of ze, they are not inactive.
We do know about these members and a couple of them have left a note beforehand.

Consolo offered to personally DM our Chinese members (As Discord is banned in China) and check on them.

He will post their responses as they come on our Discord, so he has been a great help.


Recruitment process has been resumed as of immediate effect. For now we need decisions on applicants Russ, holo and Yuuki.

Please join the discord discussions channel and post your votes and what you think of them.

The voting guidelines posted here will be updated later this weekend and will mostly take effect for each recruit's 1 month evaluation period. I just feel like this summary needs to get out asap as it has been long overdue.

Note that you must be logged in to steam to access the link.

That's all!
If you have more questions, feel free to DM the attendees for the meeting, as posted above.

Thanks for reading!
Obligatory squirtyay

Hey everyone hope you're having a great day.

We are having an upcoming meeting on our discord this weekend:


This will probably be a very important meeting as we discuss many points, mostly regarding how we will move forward in the future.

You are highly encouraged to attend, although if you can't make it for various reasons, i will be posting a summary of what was discussed in discord's pinned messages.

The meeting will be held in the official ĞΣŠ discord, in the "Members" voice channel, and any text will be communicated through the "Discussions" text channel.

YOU WILL BE PINGED with a reminder if you are online on the desktop version of Discord when the meeting begins.

An event will also be scheduled here.

I hope to see as many people as possible attend this one.
Thanks for reading!

tl;dr at the bottom.

So i have to post this obligatory announcement detailing what's going on and all the stuff that went down recently.


In case you don't know yet, on December 2 at approximately 4.35 PM PST. Backy (AKA Backstab/Teh.Backstab/Baddie) announced his departure from the group. If you want to read his statement, please join the discord members text channel and read the pinned messages.

I do not want to speculate so i can only state that he has various reasons for doing so. You would have to read his statement to know more.

This leaves us with a huge problem as he was also our leader. He was the one we could turn to when we had disagreements with how things were going, and he would always be able to settle them, largely due to his huge ties to the ze community.

Since he is gone, this leaves us... headless.. so to speak, and a body can't survive without a head (If you want to dive into more scientific terms, a brain).

He has transferred his title and all his permissions to me, which i personally don't think i am capable of owning. So at this point, i don't want to say we have a new leader, but rather, all officers will help to share this burden.

His decision is not completely final yet (he expressed some doubts later on), and we will discuss this in a meeting this weekend. More info on that later.


Recruitment for ĞΣŠ is currently open. However due to recent events, we will have to put a hold on evaluations for now.

If you receive PMs from Recs inquiring about this, feel free to inform them of the above.

We will discuss a specific date on when to resume evaluations in the upcoming meeting (Again more on that later). All recruits and group join requests will be extended by the day difference so do tell them not to worry.

A separate announcement with more information will be posted in the Rec page.


Due to the recent events, Rexy has volunteered to rejoin the Officer ranks.
He will assist to make decisions for the group and help carry us forward.

Rexy was previously an Officer before volunteering to step down due to various reasons such as inactivity and irl work.

He has mentioned to me he won't be staying as Officer long(Only temporary until we figure all this ♥♥♥♥ out), but still he has my thanks.


After Backy's announcement, many of us have expressed their opinions and disagreements on how the group is going. Apparently they have been harboring these feelings even before he left.

I just want to say if you have any disagreement with the decisions made by us, be it the rec process, officer promotions, etc, do not hesitate to mention them.
None of us can read your mind and know how you are feeling, especially not through a PC screen when almost every communication is through text.

We are probably at the lowest point right now, and we need to move up and forward together.

Do join us for the meeting this weekend if you can.
A separate announcement regarding the meeting will be posted when i can confirm the date and time.

Thanks for taking the time to read this!

• Backy as leader has departed the group and transferred all permissions to an unqualified person (me). NOT FINAL DECISION
  
• Rec process is on hold until we figure ♥♥♥♥ out.
  
• Rexy re-promoted to Officer with my thanks (temporary)
  
• Very important meeting this weekend (Separate announcement later).

Hello everyone,

As of 1st November 2019 (sorry for the announcement delay), if you are interested in joining the ranks of ĞΣŠ, you may submit a group join request in the Rec's main page.(It is the big green button near the top right corner).

We will no longer use the old Application form, where you had to answer several questions, now you just need to make a little text about yourself and state the reason why you want to join the clan.

Submitting a group join request means you are sincerely interested in joining ĞΣŠ, have read our guidelines, and are ready to commit the time to follow this through to the end.

Kindly allow 1-2 weeks latest for your request to be reviewed and for a decision to be made. If it takes a little longer than usual, you will be contacted by an Officer or a Moderator.

If you have been accepted, you will be invited into ĞΣŠ Rec where your 1 month evaluation period will begin.

Troll or Meme requests will be ignored and declined immediately without notification. This includes troll names, submitting multiple requests, multi-accounts, etc.

If someone has declined your request without informing you or at least letting you know why by responding to it, message an Officer about it.

Be patient, if you feel like your request is being ignored, send a message to a Mod or an Officer inquiring about it.

Good luck to all of you, and thank you for being interested in us!
