Under everyone's username I can place everyone's team name and/or team photo. Team names override rank names, the photo of the team will appear above the personal avatar.

Right now I have a rank system in place - based on post numbers.

0-49: Spectator
50-199: Racer
200+: Xtreme Racer

I'm let me know if you want your team name under your name or a different rank system.

Do you guys think a Team Section would be useful - an area where formed teams can talk about what their team goals are, how to join, etc.

I liked the Profile idea - thought maybe this idea would go along with it.

The thing is teams would differ from game to game. But Teams would be a great idea, but a better name would be "Crew". Makes more sense, but I myself have been thinking of starting a team. <.< Some sort of rivalry would be good.

So a category called Crew sounds better?

You could state in each crew's thread what game was being used (either in title or in description).

That works very easily, I like the idea and I have been thinking about. So yea, I'm for the idea.

I would love to have a couple people either gather into two or three crews, or at least have a couple form their own crews and hopefully "recruit".

I see there's at least one crew of TXR3 - now to get another one or two for TXRD2... lol.

lol, I outta get mine started then. But odds are it's gonna be pretty open(Covering, TXR0, TXR3, and TXRD2). But we can also have Crew Battles, so that would be a good idea.

"Crew" sounds too ricey to me but whatever works. My team is closed since the three of us have known each other for some time. I don't have Drift 2 anymore but if it's alright to have a universal team then one of them can be the "Kaido" leader of the C1 Warriors.

I get crew from another game I play(At tournaments 5 people pair up and play matchs). But thats how I see it.

Well, I'd like to use a term that everyone can agree on (or at least the majority).

Team
Crew
Group
Gang

Any other terms to pick from? We can vote if that satisfies the forum..

Group and gang don't really fit. But that's how I see it, either Team or Crew work in my opinion.

and of "crew":

assemblage, band, company, complement, covey, crowd, gang, group, hands, herd, horde, members, men, mob, party, posse, retinue, rowing, squad, team, throng, troop, workers

lol, although Ball Club sound good(Sarcasm).

But really I don't care much either because the title will be the name of the Crew/Team. It's not like you're gonna put it at the end of the name. It just gives meaning, so whatever word fulls the meaning better is gonna work(I think Crew...).

I think that both terms will be used.

Teams sound more organized, usually incorporating sponsors and funding (i.e. more professional).

Crews sound more haphazard, generally a bunch of friends running together (i.e. more amateur).

Of course, call yourselves what you want. :lol: I'll be running my group as a crew - a bunch of joyriders with too many tires laying around. :lol:

lol, using both would be best. >.< Once you get this up I send info on my Crew. But this outta be good, just keep in mind the idea of Team/Crew Battles. That should add some spice.

I was guessing it was gonna have it's own section(Like the games do). Where it list each team/crew in a sub forum(Some sort of protection so people from other teams don't spy, like during team/crew battles). That sorta thing. But this works.

I can do that - didn't think of that kind of thing. How are you gonna prevent spying even with different sections though?
