General InformationAs a new user to Blockland, I found that most clans are only for those who are the best of the best. I found that a bit wrong and even a bit neglectful. I noticed those people within a clan are usually friends who have a good understanding with each other. I have been here for a while and still don't have any people I can clearly label an acquaintance. I also love to build here on Blockland and love to go to freebuilds. So I formed ATS.
What We DoArchitechStudios is just a group of fairly skilled builders who can build together. It would be nice if some of the builders would get together every once in a while to do a group project. Who knows, maybe with combined skill, we can all make something awesome. We also share an identical goal as another clan; we offer each other help and support. If someone in the group needs a modeler, they can ask someone who can do that. Same with an eventer, builder, and so on.
ApplyingWith a good attitude, your skill doesn't matter as much. We welcome friendly behavior; don't think you can't join just because you aren't an expert!Building Applying is simple; just build a simple, yet decent, build that shows me what you can do. Eventually when I get more members to join into this group, we can all decide if they get in or not instead of just me doing it. Or, if the members wanted like a council instead that went around and decided, we could have that too. It would be more organized, IMO.
Your build must follow these guidelines:
- At least 500 bricks
- It isn't ridiculously small
- You built the project yourself; group projects are not allowed
And if the members like it, you're in. When you're done with your build, either post your app in the Gallery or shoot me a PM with the pictures or the name of the open server so I can see it or give me a save. Any of those work.
Multimedia Show me some of your edits or videos, even screenshots you find professional. I'll take a look at them and give you an answer.
Helpers Message me with some good tutorials (multiple) that you wrote yourself. I'll determine where you stand.
At ATS, we don't care if you're in multiple clans. I see it wrong for me and other users to judge what they do outside of ATS. You can be in another clan and still be in ATS simultaneously.
Clan tags are not required. However, if you choose to do so, list them as ATS_YourName_ATS. If you are a member of more than one clan outside of ATS, feel free to use both tags. But like I said, you decide if you want the tags on you or not.

Group JobsIf necessary, we may have to cut back on personal projects and groups within the clan to do some sets for photography and multimedia clans. There isn't a large chance this will happen though, but just in case, be advised.
Discipline and GuidelinesIf I myself catch you doing something wrongful, I will give you a level based on the magnitude I believe it deserves. You will not have the right to testify unless another user in the server (if that's the case) testifies. All levels lose the warning for the next month as well.
# - Warning - This user currently has a warning. Another warning and they obtain a level one. Each user gets one warning a month.
# - Level 1 - This user has done something minor and has received a one day suspension from the clan for the reason stated, or, if they prefer, they can hide their reason for suspension.
# - Level 2 - This user has done something more severe and has received a three day suspension. They have the choice of having the reason public or not.
# - Level 3 - This user has committed something even worse. They have been suspended for two weeks and has been automatically disqualified from any ATS events.
# - Final Level - This user has done something catastrophic. They have been suspended from ATS indefinitely and have affected the entire clan as a whole and have been a disappointment to us.
Deposition - OpposingA user who has received any one of the levels excluding warnings has the right to testify. When they testify, I myself will do background research on the user to see if what they have been accused of is official. If I find they have done it with active evidence and/or witnesses, you will receive your level of discipline regardless.
FAQs - Quick Answers1) Are clan tags required?
A:
No. You can have them if you want, but you don't need to. Clan tags are ATS_YourName_ATS if you want them, but if you are in multiple clans, you can have both on there.2) Can I be in more clans besides ATS?
A:
Yes. What you do outside of ATS in other clans is not my business, and I will not try to control you. Feel free to be part of them and this.3) Do I have to build an application custom for ATS?
A:
No, but it would be nice to see something of yours before everyone else does. I also ask you don't make one project then go around and apply for multiple clans with the same thing with us. It shows you're desperate to join as many clans as you can, and that makes no sense to me.Do you have questions? PM Caution and you will get a response ASAP.
If you have any questions or comments on the ATS, feel free to ask.
