Team APACH3

Ey The Grim Reaper. Obviously you already know who I am. Signing in here to say that 1: I play BlackOps almost exclusively (for PS3) because I don't have BlackOps 2, but I will play it when I get it. My older Username is Cnsuth, but I created my own account on my playstation and now play under the username Raven_Rise.

Since I have full ownership to APACH3, I decided it be best if I rewarded the members for being apart of us. Now, I know what I am doing as an initial reward isnt much, but it is a start. As rewards, I have decided to give out emblems according to your rank. Once you aquire this rank in the clan, you will then be allowed to use any rank symbol you have earned in your photo without getting warnings and demerits. (Failure to comply to this rule will cause a day of banment from the site each instance. I will constantly be checking to make sure you are following. This rule shall be added to the rulebook here: http://teamapach3.createaforum.com/general-discussion/rules-of-the-road/ ) Think of this as sort of a set of "APACH3 Prestige Emblems." You automatically start out with a rookie emblem upon joining APACH3 and passing initiation tryouts. Here is the list of ranks as well as a description of each emblem and how to obtain each:

Rookie-- Color: Blue-- Pass tryouts and become a member of APACH3.

Full Member-- Color: Green-- Pass the ritual initiation (Not required for anything but to obtain a higher rank than just passing tryouts.)

Dedicated Member-- Color: Red-- Remain in APACH3 for 3 weeks after passing initiation.

Officer-- Color: Bronze-- Become an Officer

Team APACH3 Competitive Gamer-- Color: Metallic Silver-- Accept a spot on the Competitive Gaming Team after being asked.

Player-- Color: Metallic Gold-- Play in an approved tournament by the team Manager

I will add a second list of rewards once I can come up with good awards for each rank. (Of course, Rookie shall be the honor of being in the APACH3 clan.) Comment if you have any questions or concerns. I will annouce this topic to all members once it is posted. Be sure to keep watch for any and all announcements.

sorry. not the news entry. just that message was a test. i was testing for hide tags. if anyone figures out how to make them, please, by all means, let me know.

I am in need of a redesign on each other the board icons on the home page. if you come up with anything that could be put in place (note that the only clan advertisements that should be made are of APACH3 or any sponsored clan. Check them out here:), please send it in a private message to me with what board it should be put on (make sure to also specify the category [in yellow!]) and telling me what inspired you to do this. All credit will be given in a weekly update of APACH3 N3W5W33K. (Check it out here: http://teamapach3.createaforum.com/apach3-n3w5w33k/ )

Thank you for your cooperation,

-The Grim Reaper

*Note: I have a sit-in on other systems, but currently, the only system we are on is the Wii, and will soon be moving to the 360. Watch for changes in the tryouts listing.
**Note: I currently do not have a system that supports Black Ops 2. This will change over time. Be watching for a change in the listing.

I reserve any right to deny anyone access to the clan regardless of completion of the tryouts. Any argument with this will induce a hired hacker to send viruses to your system. Not hard to follow I reserve any right to change any part of this tryout listing. I have the right to demote/promote clan members as I see fit. Clan members with the proper rankings will be allowed to view and participate in certain rank-based threads. Please watch for them.
