Winged Warriors

   Here is a collection of questions that we receive on a regular basis. Please read on to learn more about our clan and how it is run. If you have a question that is not answered here? Please contact us with your question, and if we get the same question frequently it will be added to this FAQ.

Q. Can I join the Winged Warriors?

    A. Yes, if you receive a tryout invitation.

Q. How do get a tryout invitation?

    A. Fill out this tryout application and mail it in to winged-warriors@comcast.net. If we like your application and have an opening we will send you an invitation for a tryout.

Q. What can I expect in the tryout?

    A. If you receive a tryout invitation here are a few things you can expect. Our tryout consists of two stages; the first is the performance stage, in which your communication, teamwork and slaying ability is judged, and the second stage is an interview with the overlord and team leaders. Only players who pass the first stage receive an interview. In addition, tryouts are never the same; many times the tryout facilitator will choose which games they would like to see the players perform in so they can better gauge certain aspects of their abilities and skills.

  1. You can expect to play on a team with clan members and other tryout applicants.
  2. You can expect us to watch and listen to everything you do and say so that we may measure your ability, communication and teamwork.
  3. You can expect us to place importance on players who help their team.
  4. You can expect objective games, team slayer games and at least one free for all.
  5. You can expect us to debrief and discuss after each game.
  6. You can expect us to listen for each individual player’s objective outlook.
  7. Finally, you can expect the players who can communicate well and follow instructions to score better.

Q. When are tryouts?

    A. The Winged Warriors hold tryouts when they have openings in the clan. The majority of the timing depends on our Current State of the Clan (CSoC) Which is explained briefly in the next question.

Q. Why is there a limit on the number of players in the clan?

    A. The Winged Warriors limit the number of members in order to protect the clan's internal integrity. Anytime the clan receives an infusion of a new player or group of players it takes time to get those players operating to clan battle standards and functioning well within their team. Having a controlled number of members allows us to control the learning process for the rookies and maximize their efficiency before beginning the process again with more new players. This is a large part of the CSoC.

Q. Can I tryout more than once?

    A. Yes, but you must reapply. If you failed the first stage then we suggest you practice before trying again.

Q. Will the Winged Warriors play against my clan?

    A. Of course; the Winged Warriors are always willing to play against your clan in a match. We are always looking for new opponents to test our teamwork and strategies. Also if you clan proves to be a worthy opponent, we are also looking for teams to practice with. For more information visit our battles page.

Q. What type of Clan matches do the Winged Warriors play?

    A. Aside from matchmaking we usually play a five game format with a variety of maps and objectives in the games. The clan with the most wins after all five games is the winner. However, we are open to other clan match formats and any suggestions that your clan may have.

Q. How old are the Winged Warriors?

    A. Most of the Winged Warriors have known each other for years, most since around the release of Halo 2. The clan was originally founded on November 9th 2004 under the name "Night Riderz". Then on January 21st, 2005 the “Night Riderz” split, and the two resulting clans were the JEDI SPEC OPS and the current Winged Warriors.
