A game to be successful does not necessarily need to be have a strong competitive scene, like Waffles so nicely put it: lots of dudes couldn't care less about clans, cups and tournaments and they are not stupid or like AC any less caus of that and lots of them seem to be coming back very often, that says something. The same way that there is nothing wrong with guys that like the thrill of competition (apart from the lame attitude of some of them).
I'm not a very competitive player myself, so I won't say much about this matter, but some sort of official clan ladder would be cool, maybe with some modded servers getting stats specific to clan matches and whatnot, but since I neither have the knowledge, means or will to do such a thing, I'll refrain myself from this topic...
Not sure if inters relle work as a tactical training camp, but I do like to play inters with my mates and the AC's Latin American Front does play lots of them, good games with quite some decent players, if nothing else, to me they are pretty fun. You're all invited to look us up, we usually play around 22:00 eastern time.
As for games with previous set up times, it is relle hard for me to play in them (same for cups and tournaments) caus I have a family and a job, so I play when I have time and I can hardly promise that I'll be able to sit my ass in front the computer for 45 mins without interruptions. I rather have you dudes calling me noob than to get in trouble with the old lady (aka, La Jefe).
