TeamSpeak Rule - AOD is a vocal community, we use TeamSpeak as the main line of communication. It is required that you be in TeamSpeak if you are playing any game that AOD supports as a division.

For a list of any of our current Divisions follow the link here.

Once on that page scroll down to the different forums, they will always be up to date. You may also check TeamSpeak out for current list of all games we play and support.

What does support mean you ask? Simple, it means we have a division for this particular game, which entails forums and TeamSpeak channels. All members participating in that game are expected to wear AOD tags and be registered with whatever guilds or clans that we have in that game. Regardless of whether they are in a different division from that game or not. Loyalty to AOD means that you help out with the games that we play in. AOD has separate divisions for separate games, but we are all part of one clan.

Unsupported means we play up in the top lobby with other's from all other divisions, more of a side game than anything. Members are not expected to wear tags for these games or be in TeamSpeak for them. They may also join a different clan or guild for unsupported games.

Multi-Clanning Policy - What is this and what does it mean?

Well you may play in multiple clans, but we do not allow members to be in a different clan for a game that we support as a division.
Example: War Thunder Applicant Joe is in a clan Called TRA for BF4, he must choose to leave that clan before joining us for Warthunder or not join at all. If AOD supports a game that a prospective member is already part of another guild or clan with, they must choose between that clan or guild and AOD. Regardless of what game they are trying to join us for.

**World of Warcraft (WoW) is EXEMPT from the Multi-Clanning Policy**

With MMO's if we are starting a division at launch all members and recruits need to join AOD's guild. The exception to this is if a member is recruited into a division but plays an established MMO with another guild he does not need to leave that guild to join AOD.

Ex.
An individual joins BF4 and mentions he plays ESO with another guild. We don't force him to leave his established guild to join BF4.

All supported divisions will have a section on our forums.

Further Clarification of the Multi-Clanning Rule
ClanAOD is a unique, enduring community of PC gamers who seek a collaborative play experience with others who value honor and respect. ClanAOD has weathered many attempts to fracture our community from abroad and from within our ranks due to our collective determination and consistency with our members. As we are a highly competitive lot and want to safeguard the sense of belonging so greatly valued among our players, multi-clanning is not permitted.

Multi-clanning is defined by our community as a continued affiliation, declared or otherwise, with another gaming community that has not been approved by clan or division leadership for the purpose of benefiting ClanAOD members.

Guidance on multi-clanning:

• Members shall not maintain an association with another organization whose interests conflict with those of ClanAOD or cause clan or division leadership to perceive conflicting loyalties.
• Members shall not enlist in, or remain a member of, a competitive clan or gaming community that supports games identical to ClanAOD.
• Members with established in game character(s) may maintain their associations, ONLY IF: approval is obtained from division leadership, AND moving their character(s) to servers/membership with ClanAOD requires a financial expense, AND the game is not the member’s primary division.
• Members may participate and be a part of social media communities for development and outreach purposes, to promote games, and to represent ClanAOD provided that said communities do not organize themselves so as to otherwise violate these rules. This includes communities that promote streaming, twitter, etc. This rule does not exclude monetization of one’s own activities, however, the interests of ClanAOD must always be promoted.

Regardless of other communities a member is part of, ClanAOD members may not supplant ClanAOD's in-game tags with another community's and are required to maintain allegiance to the clan and our Code of Conduct.

ClanAOD is a community and is only valuable when our members are engaged and have enjoyable shared experiences. That isn't possible if our membership has strong competing interests elsewhere. If you want to invest time with other groups, we respect that, but require that you respect our rules and honorably excuse yourself.
