A little story of one clan
This applies approximately to the period of December 2015. New Year was approaching and on cold winter evenings I spent time at my favorite game. My rating was a little over 1000 in the global grid. Ladder, I did not play.
At first I played on a variety of maps. Over time, I realized that the Setons Clutch map has the most successful design solution. Here you can enjoy the mechanized war on earth, and the juicy sea battles, and the clashes of armadas of 500 aircraft on each side, is it impressive? I was impressed. Plus, the duration of the games was usually within 30-40 minutes.
By December, most of the games were played by me at Setons. Comrades appeared, they are also worthy rivals with whom I often played. Soon, we began to communicate closely after playing games in personal chats.
Already closer to the New Year, the Syruk player proposed creating a clan, and 5 or 6 people became its foundation and backbone. Among them was me. We played together. Helped each other. We fought against each other like animals. Then we discussed.
After the New Year, Syruk disappeared. The clan consisted of approximately 10 people actively playing. And in March 2016, the news fell like thunder - there is no clan chat and the clan itself is gone too.
Only in April was I able to see Syruk online. I asked what happened. The reason was simple - after NY a lot of things appeared and our leader simply decided to dissolve the clan.
We still talked, and when he found out that the guys were saddened by the dissolution of the clan and would like to play together and have a common channel for communication, and something in common that would show our unity - the clan tag.
Syruk did not expect that his idea was really necessary. He suggested correcting the slip and creating the clan again. Only this time I became the head of the clan.
I will not describe for a long time the rebus that turned out to be the registration of a new clan. Oh yes, the password didn’t work, sessions expired, browser jumps along the prairies of the registration form were the same entertainment. Then there were problems to accept in a clan, oh yes, there was a time! But Syruk helped me in everything and was persistent, for which he is very grateful.
And so the clan was recreated. Setons Chat is our cozy chat. And I took the helm in my hands. I immediately called the old guard to the clan. And then I began to actively seek and invite new players. The criteria were simple: friendliness, playing on the Seton map and a rating of at least 1000. I managed to quickly assemble the backbone of the clan - active, very interesting players in a couple of months. And for almost half a year we could fill two games in a row by clan players.
It was an amazing time. The most fierce battles, the craziest strategies and tactics we practiced in 2016-2017. We were not afraid to play against stronger players, we played boldly, aggressively. If we lost, then we stood to the end, to the last commander, back to back. It was interesting.
SC was a clan over Setons, international. Later, by analogy, the JEW clan appeared, where Giebmasse recruited strong players or Finns. The result was an interesting mixup. Even later, Galacticfear started to grow his AoS clan, aiming to beat the JEW clan. In the meantime, SC became the first strong clan - the abode of Setons players.
I continued to search and invite interesting, promising players. My rating has grown to 1600. I helped new comrades with words and deed. We did sparring, trainings. In games I gave advices. Many of us in the clan came weak. And together we gained experience, became stronger, reached a rating of 1600-1700 and were already considered strong players on Setons. Challenging experienced players. Some players left the clan when the rating outgrew 1600, because they thought they had outgrown. I have no complaints about them. I am glad that we started or continued for some time together.
There were times when my room was filled with my screams of indignation or anger. But these were momentary impulses for game situations. I very rarely broke down and wrote in a chat of indignation, if this happened, then I later apologized. I think it’s better to leave the game and swear loudly, and then cool down and continue the new game, or not play for some time at all to cool off. I consider it unacceptable to humiliate or insult a person if he does not succeed in the game.
We are all different. And this is our strength. Imagine if you played with 9 players like you, what a bore and predictability it is! The difference is our strength!
In 2018, I already actively coached some players. I became the official personal trainer of the FAF community https://wiki.faforever.com/index.php?ti ... s#Trainers. I trained on Setons. I am glad if my advice and help helped to achieve success, improve the game. So we get strong rivals and excellent allies, on whom you can count on and enjoy looking at the style of the game.
I was active until the New Year 2019. Now I almost do not play. Im not invite new players, because I don’t see what they are capable of in the game.
Is it time to update the clan or let it be the old way? This is for us to decide together!
I was always pleased to play with you! Thanks for the priceless hours we spent together in the game! It's time to start a new milestone in the history of the clan. And let new trends and ideas come with a new leader, if you want. I have said everything.Statistics: Posted by MikZZ — 03 Aug 2019, 15:56
