The OLDA Peoples Organization.
OLDA
Hello, and welcome to the OLDA peoples organization! The OLDA peoples organization (or just OLDA) is an organization specificly made for the members of the Toribash community over 19 years old. The main goal of OLDA is to provide a meeting ground for the players who may feel...sort of elderly when they look around the forums or get PWNT and flamed, but dont really know what PWNT or flamed means. The only
requirement for membership is that you are over the age of 19. Aside from that the only other rule of OLDA is to
treat all players of Toribash (OLDA members or not) with respect. There is nothing wrong with being proud of your skills, but there is also no need to be an ass about things, we are all adults here, so lets act like it. If you really want to feel great that badly then go pick on kids at the arcade. Obviously all of the other forum rules apply and any infractions will carry the same penalty as anywhere else in the forums, so no racism or sexism or anything else that does not belong in a video game forum.
The story so far: As you may know OLDA was, in its first incarnation, a clan. OLDA was a very short lived clan and only lasted about a week. We had 3 members, myself, Blotto, and morf. OLDA clan was started one night when myself and Blotto both had the idea to start a clan for people over 21. Being that I live in the U.S. and Blotto in Italy, the whole experience was sort of serendipitous. As a result our expectations were set rather high. Within a few days Blotto and I had raised the T.C. to become official and sent it off. One thing neither of us counted on though was the actual work that go's into creating a clan thread, after about a week and a half of waiting I got impatient and pulled the plug on OLDA clan. Also, it felt silly to start yet another clan, when starting an Org. could reach allot more people. That was yesterday. Today, May 29 2008, I actually received a response from ManBreakfast informing me that he had just created the OLDA clan thread, but that he also received my request to disregard it all together, so in essence OLDA clan
was official for what Im guessing was no more then an hour before it was dissolved. Which brings us to right now, still May 29, but a bit later in the evening. OLDA is something that I would not have created were it not for the advice of several people already familiar with the Toribash community. I'm only hoping that these same people will now come and join OLDA and help me get this started. There is no point in having an org without the community's support.
Plans: Some ideas I have for OLDA include holding special OLDA competitions and tournaments. I would be thrilled to see members of different clans come together and do things like make OLDA videos. This is one area where I really need you guys to step in and help me out. Honestly I love the idea of having an org, and I think there are allot of possibilities , and I hope we can reach them all.
Membership: To join OLDA all you have to do is post here saying you want to join. Please include your age (we trust you wont be lame and lie) and anything else you feel like including and don't mind having listed in our roster, i.e. Clan affiliation, Belt color, time playing Toribash, and if you want a snazzy description feel free to include that too. As I said before the only requirement for membership is that you are at least 19. That means all you unranked white belts out there, feel free to join. Personally I will be absolutely thrilled to see this thread flooded with white belts and 10th Dans alike.
Misc/ etc. etc.: If you feel inclined to putting a tag on your name to represent OLDA, the "official" tag will be [OLDA]
Edit 5/29/08 anywhere you like in your name. As of now the Official symbol of OLDA is the lovely mug of frothy goodness in several of our avatars (Courtesy of BloTto). However, should you feel a desire to make your own unofficial avatar, feel free. Any other artwork is always welcome.
