About MadCast

Back in 2007, MadCast was founded on two basic principles. It would be a gaming community that would be bigger than just one game and it would be a community that doesn't live or die based off a single leader or a handful of admins at the top. We get into games based on the interests of our community and our hard working admins are picked by our members. Since 2007, we have been involved in Battlefield 2142, Call of Duty 4, Team Fortress 2, Battlefield: Bad Company 2, Left 4 Dead, Brink, Call of Duty: Black Ops, World of Warcraft, Battlefield 3, League of Legends, Heroes of Newerth, Star Wars: The Old Republic, Minecraft, Dota 2 and more. We have experience in running successful servers, competitive teams and MMO guilds. Our currently played games include League of Legends, Dota 2, Tribes: Ascend and Diablo 3. With admins hosting events in those games as well as others, there's always something to do and someone to play with. Back in May we ran a very successful LoL tournament with 11 teams, and we are looking to go bigger and better in the future. Right now we're expanding into Planetside 2 and Guild Wars 2.

What sets us apart from other gaming clans/guilds/communities is that we have a very strong focus on our website and teamspeak. When you have a community with gamers who play various types of games, there's going to be others you won't see playing the same game as you. Our site is what brings everyone together and if you're not active on our forums and on the site in general you're missing out on a lot. For starters it's a great place to meet everyone and more importantly you stay in the know of what's going on. We're currently upgrading and adding new features.

Helpful Links
Throughout this post I'm going to be linking various threads on our forums with info. Here's most of them all put together for quick access:

MadCast in Planetside 2

Planetside 2 is a game that's come as a huge surprise for many of our members. Following recent media interest has gotten very high in our community and it's looking to be one of our biggest games yet. At the end of June we held a poll to decide which faction we will play as. Of our 120 members, 57 of them voted. We're going to have a very strong foundation going into this game from the number of admins giving their support to our members eagerly waiting to jump in.

Our outfit will aim to provide a great experience to not only our members but also our fellow Terran Republic allies. We are an outfit that will be respected by anyone wearing red and black. Whether you want to fill a niche and help out the team, or if you can only log in every other night and shoot some people you will have a place here and you'll have a blast doing so. We're going to get serious and strive to be victorious on the battlefield, and at the same time there will be room for fun and silly events.

Leading Up to Beta/Release

Since we're a multi-gaming community, there's a number of games being played and events being run. If you share any games in common with our members, you'll have plenty of people to play with during the wait for Planetside 2. There's also a fair bit of discussion on our forums about who's driving what. In addition to gaming we also host a weekly podcast that you can tune into, and lots of other happenings in and around our site.

How to join the Outfit

Everyone joining the MadCast Outfit in Planetside 2 is required to have read and accepted the MadCast Code of Conduct. Full Members are covered as they agree to the terms upon acquiring membership. Anyone who is not a Full Member or above must do the following:

Create a thread in the Introductions forums. Introduce yourself to the community. You aren't going to be judged here, but feel free to make yourself welcome.
Somewhere in your intro thread, state that you have read and agree to the terms in the Code of Conduct.

Once you've done that, get a hold of any admin in-game and you'll receive an invite into the outfit. Anyone is free to play Planetside 2 with us, however formally agreeing to the terms within the CoC is required to being a member in our Outfit.

Joining MadCast

Being a Full Member isn't required for being part of our Planetside 2 Outfit, but it does have a lot of benefits. It's there for people who want to have a community to be a part of. Full Members get priority access to events, first dibs in giveaways and plenty of other perks and opportunities both within games and community wide. Joining MadCast is a one month long process and you have to do the following:

In your Introduction thread, state somewhere that you would like to become a Full Member. Your 30 day Candidacy period starts immediately after you make your post.
During your 30 days you will be assigned a mentor, who you should get in touch with (your mentor will also try to contact you). Your mentor will give you a rundown on how everything in the community works out and helps you along your way to Full Membership.
After your 30 days are up, the Senior Full Members vote on your admission. Criteria the SFM's look for are mostly character and personality based. Is the candidate active? Do they contribute to the community? Are they nice to hang around with?
If you get in, your welcome thread is posted and once you've replied accepting the terms of Full Membership you're now a member in MadCast.

Closing

Thanks for taking your time to go through this thread. I know it's a lot to cover, and if you want you're more than welcome to hop on teamspeak and join us in some games and get a feel for the community. Guests are always welcome to join us both in regular games as well as events.
