So Rapter and I have talked to Riz and he has agreed to come and help run the CoD section with some Halo 4 influence as well. To get things started, Riz is using his connections with some other clans to possibly do a few friendly either mergers or alliances just so we have some people to play with. Basketball has also agreed to join Riz on his efforts to get TFS going once again.
I should state here we may hide many squad pages soon and group everything under Alpha on a temporary basis just for the sake of organization. Pheonix, I think you are the one squad that may not like this. It's TEMPORARY!
Defiance is a nice touch TFS has now and I know we have a few new members there, but it is important we stay a shooter clan first as that is the most popular kind of game out there, even if CoD isn't our IDEAL choice at this time. It's a bit of survival and a bit of just us playing what the masses feel is the best game out there right now.
If I was writing this story, I'd say we'd all play Halo till gaming was over but that isn't the case. With Kirkinator taking his friends and leaving Halo, TFS has sort of left Halo with him. For the most part I have noticed that players didn't really want to leave TFS, but they wanted to leave Halo. Kirk was a bit different, when most of the TFS players left Halo, he viewed the clan as something different so he left TFS. Most players fall into the category of "I'd come back if we played the game I'm playing". Right now it's CoD. At years end it could be Battlefield 4.
So more change is coming here. Not everyone left will like it but you all must see that there aren't many Shadows left. The ones left (and I'm in this group too) don't recruit or can't. They don't, won't or can't find clan battles. At some point the reasons just DONT matter. Good or bad or other, the point is we are bleeding members and if we keep doing the same things like just trying to stay in Halo 4 it will mean TFS won't be around by years end. Even if we have a Defiance section that has 10-20 members, the core ideas of TFS will die with the vastly different game that Defiance is. Again, I'm not knocking what I haven't played but it really can't be compared nor considered an option to preserving what we have here. It's just something different all around.
Remember, nobody needs to ask permission at this point to do something GOOD for this clan. Don't worry about running it by me or ANYONE. The numbers are too low. The next election should literally elect 1 or 2 co leaders and at this point they should almost just be appointed until our numbers are big enough to actually take totals on votes. So just do what you feel is right and we'll be ok. Doing nothing though just won't cut it.
Stay Frozen.
