We're a clan basically without leaders just people that stand up for some task and then do it, meaning basically everybody is a leader and helps with what he's best at. We have no ranking structure whatsoever. Meaning from day 1 that you would join you could be someone to train ppl on the team or become a match arranger. Or just let others do things for you and enjoy the game ^^.
We use ventrillo for communicating, and there are about always people on vent on or our irc channel (
irc://irc.quakenet.org/=icm=)
We play actively in both ladder and "realism" matches.
In ladder matches (
www.roladder.net) you play on both sides, so both team get the advantages of both sides. This is for ultimate balance to test teams against each other. THis is were most matches and the biggest part of the clanning community plays. Its a gameplay with asmuch as possible normal ro gameplay but then with maximum teamplay.
In realism matches (efo site is currently dead but roladder, realism will launch pretty soon) you play on 1 side, we did pick the allies though because there were only 2 allied teams and like 15 axis teams on the efo league. We got plenty folks that prefer german weaponry but we care more about being able to play lots of matches and that we do. In the end for us its the teamplay and gameplay why we play ^^. This gameplay is mostly for people that like old search and destroy type gameplay ala COD and CS.
We're an active team but you have no obligation to play matches.
Our trial is not really a trial its more of a meet and greet and completely aint skill based. Its just a period where everybody can meet each other and get to know each where you can find out wether you like us. (basically only a microphone and being over 18 years are requirements to join, next to having a copy of ro afcourse)

From your discription this sounds as something you'll like alot. Here its teamplay (to a lesser extend of clanmatches) but you just join 1 team allies or axis. And thats it its like 2 big clans with people of different clans merged together lots of clanfolks play this for weekend entertainment. We got people playing on the allied and axis side as got lots of other clans. Clanmatches are mainly to test out and train tactics and working methods with your team, but you end up with usually 8v8 matches (although you are allowed to play with 16v16 or more) 8v8 just is the best number for a noncluttered team performance.
Iron Crescendo is on full servers playing 15v15 basically public playing but with a ranking structure and more teamwork and tactics.
We got 3 ro servers at the moment, but were in the process of phasing those out to get a stronger server, the new server will be located in the uk)
