[NoS] is only 3 months old, but we have recently opened for business (clanwars).
I have been initiated into the mysteries of mIRC (#sna.gather) and while I enjoy it, it seems that the mIRC crowd is pretty hardcore and generally speaking out of our league at this time.
I appreciate this post and will try the channel that the OP mentioned, and possibly create our own channel, but I am guessing that the forums are still the best place for newb clans like NoS to start out when seeking cw. Anyone want to comment or illuminate further?
A personal note about mIRC. I really wish I had gotten onto it earlier. I started playing Soldat about 4 years ago, and I got quite good on the pubs. So good, in fact, that I completely stopped using guns (out of a sense of fair play), and played for a couple years with Saw/Knife/Nades only. When I got to where I was pwning everyone game after game with only melee and nades, I pretty much quit the game out of boredom with the lack of challenge.
If I had only known about mIRC back then!!! The #sna.gather is full of people that completely pwn me, worse than I ever imagined possible. Now, I have a couple of years of completely sloppy thinking in Soldat to undo and overcome. The public servers are a great place to start Soldat, but after a while you really need to graduate to mIRC if you are still taking the game seriously. Don't be like me and waste a couple of years on the pubs... at some point, they are just a waste of your time and they will just make you lazy and sloppy in your Soldat skills.
