General Information

As 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 Do

ArchitechStudios 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.



Applying

With 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.

Black List

People on this list have been expelled from the clan, or have been poor users of the forums or in game. Reason for placement is stated after their name.

- (T.D)Scape(Pwner) (BL_ID: 10091) For being an idiot and demanding admin.



Group Jobs

If 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 Guidelines

If 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 - Opposing

A 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 Answers

1) 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.

Bump for the day. At least give me a poll answer.


Looks pretty cool.
I hope you do well.
You might've wanted to get a few members before starting though.

I'll app for the heck of it.

Hah, caught your ninja edit :D

Thank you, Annoying Orangeet. I wanted to, but didn't know where to turn first.

Wow, this is nice. Way to look at other clan pages and find good ideas and then display them. Nice work.
Also, nice way of making regular members feel accepted :D

Thank you. I look through Clan Discussion often and thought some of the things I saw other clans do were good, so I took some of them.  :cookieMonster:

What about the person who suggested you made your own clan :3?

Can I see some of your sample builds? So I can see if this clan is right for me.

Credit to your for the encouragement. ;)

Like I said, I am a newer user to Blockland. I have started two projects so far, one of which I cannot continue do to a reinstallation and the map did not save, the other is an isolated Slopes build that doesn't have enough to care. Luckily, I still have a few Gallery pics. Keep in mind that I am not a role model to the clan and you should feel free to have your own style.

Quite well for being new. Not only do clans help by providing a community of others in which you can trust, they also provide you with members that with (hopefully) eagerly help you learn.

That was another thing rolling through my mind when deciding to start a clan of my own. I knew I couldn't make it into any of the other clans, either, so I felt I had enough points to do it.

Before I make my decision for you, I would like a screenshot of the cliff you said it was on. As I said, I like the cottage so far, and I like the interior better now that you redid it. If I like the cliff, you're in.
