VISION All gamers to be able to play in welcoming communities (servers and clan's) that provide friendship, support and a "fair go" for everyone wether their a casual player or a competitive player just trying to have fun without it being at the expense of griefing other real life people.
Some people may think the competitive community are the majority however this is not true, in the competitive scene that is true and they are the type of players who make the most noise. There has been research showing that the casual players are the majority, therfore they are the most important because they are the future of gaming without a casual player base the games we all enjoy would not be so popular so VCM believe it is important to focus on that side of gaming, not the competitive side.
MISSION
VCM is here to have fun and improving the games community not trying to kill it! while following set guidelines made by the game's they play and the server's they join. Team VCM will provide a forefront to all this wether it be taking part in it or just encouraging it.
VALUES
Games were created for fun, we aim to keep them for fun for the casual and the more active player's who play the game in their spare time.
Buying in-game material such as gear, weapons or gold is a disadvantage to the correct player who plays and follows the games Terms of Service Agreement.
In-game abuse, verbal or in-game physical also known as griefing is not needed and unnecessary for a fun environment for casual and competitive players to play in.
Racism, Sexism, or any general descrimination of people is not right in-game or out of it and we will deal with any such people seriously.
Playing just for stats or unlocks is a bad goal for social online gaming thus VCM does not encourage or support games or communities heavily focused on these useless awards.
MMORPG's are social games, if the player's aren't social in-game then they aren't playing it the right way.
Clans/Guilds need to be about community first, not gaming first.
If you contribute to the team, the team will contribute to you.
WHO WE ARE
VCM started in the Battlefield 1942 mod called Desert Combat where the stunting, fun training's and teamwork began mainly on the 3FL servers. Time went on and VCM grew thanks to the team's activeness on the 3FL WA server and soon the team was attracting more fun mature minded players to join it's ranks. Over time VCM had it's up's and down's with hacker's, cheater's and of course the competitive gamers. VCM grew out of all of it's mistakes in the past with the help of new websites and found itself expanding into multiple games such as Battlefield 2, Call of Duty 2 and Counterstrike Source.
As old team's faded away, new games appeared and new VCM divisions emerged. Now VCM has 3 divisions in World of Warcraft, Team Fortress 2 and the Half Life 2 mod, Insurgency. Each team is organized, committed and growing rapidly in the right direction.
We might look hardcore or serious but that is only so we can ALL be casual and play for fun, the admins, captains and even the server host of this site are gamers too!
WHAT WE DO
VCM is a fun gaming community focused on playing the game's it is a part of for fun and spreading that fun to all of it's members and outsiders. We will and have stood up for anyone not receiving a "fair go" when they deserve it.
Over it's 3 year run VCM has earned a range of direct services and support from members such as a .com website, a Ventrillo channel, an IRC channel, registered secure IP Board forums moderated by members, a swarm of game servers individually hosted by member's and of course the privelage of so many great people playing together and for fun with good memories as a team.
