I thought it was on the up...

The clan model would never allow a huge growth or to become A league good strategy wise.

What really happened

Sad but weird to watch but most of all.. Predictable.

I do understand that aura and I know the feel... Kind of. Sure i have never had a clan that lasten for ten year but I know how it is when you see your clan crumble and you yourself gets more and more un motivated...

Me and sloppy are trying to revive it because we dont want it to die so could you please give leadership to him? (i am no stable leader or even person atm and I think sloppy would be a better leader with his assets in this game)

The reason why Therese so many grammar errors is because im using the wrong langare on keyboard and auto correct

1. sfg has had mr from pretty much the start.

2. This has already happened.

What do you mean by *this has already happened*?

Leadership was released before you said anything.

Ok

I'll give the whole explanation later.

But seeing what has happened it is worse than I thought.

I am also looking for a new clan

Mongols is always willing to take on new members.

Yea in MSF it was mainly myself and other 'management' initiating anything in the clan. We had 100+ members but few actually participated unless we pushed them to do so.

So I get your frustration, aura.

Alright, about me.

I originally came to Warlight playing diplomacy, then went inactive for about a year. When I came back it was because I was streaming, and all my viewers slowly nudged me into trying strat. My original clan at that point "American Empire" was dead (if it was ever alive) and I was invited by the FCC and I fell in love with it.Since then I have been a staple in the clan.

In January I created and alt and requested to see who would take me. My main purpose for this was that in the FCC my skill had capped and I wasn't seeing any further improvement, so I joined the 101st (Thanks to all the clans that said no because I was an alt :P). I have been active in both communities for over a month now and I am very happy with my time in both clans, I left FCC's council and later FCC (To be explained) in the past couple weeks.

What am I looking for in a clan?
An active group of players that are looking for a community player. I am active and talkative, willing to offer help to any players that need it. I require a strategy based core and preferrably a discord server for that clan.

What accounts do I have?
SuperGamerz- https://www.warlight.net/Profile?p=4550259885 -this was my original account and still sees quite a bit of action, it's not officially a main anymore (according to CL Rules)
, but as many players can atest too, this account has never been inactive, outside of when I left warlight the first time I played.
Cowboy- https://www.warlight.net/Profile?p=9374434686 -this was an account created to improve as a player, I promised activity and I delivered, I now consider it a main.
Cowbody- https://www.warlight.net/Profile?p=9685327937 -Originally created to provide a means of playing WL while I was a boot risk (Vacation on other two accounts due to my dad's surgery)

What about my stats on the ladder

-Peak Ranks/Ratings

1v1 Ladder		10th	2051
Real-Time Ladder	24th	1590
Multi-Day Ladder	8th	1721
2v2 Ladder		2nd	2178
3v3 Ladder		10th	1443

The 3v3 Ladder Run was many months ago, and I have done two others since, both ended early due to boots and disinterest by the booted player. I would estimate my skill around 1800, but I can't be so certain yet.

What clans have I been in?

American Empire (August 2015 to August 2016)
Fifth Column Confederation (August 2016 to August 2017)
{101st} (January 2017 to Present)
DARKLORDS (For like 2 days in July 2017)

What happened in the FCC?

The clan has lived and died with Aura's activity over the past few years. When he is up and playing, FCC thrives, when he goes on hiatus FCC dies. Realizing this Aura made the decision to create a council and remove all alts from major positions. It worked... at first.
Under Pardon, strategy started it's trek upwards, while under CBerkley, diplomacy thrived. Cartography has always been decent, but didn't really start growing until recently. I was elected to the council after Pardon left for ONE!. It continued thriving under DontAttackMe/Cberkley/Noobinator until they became relatively inactive. The new council was installed and we continued thrive until a few months ago, when activity dropped, including Aura. For these past couple months I have been the only active council member of the FCC, and have been the driving force of keeping the strat core active as well as recruiting, running the discord and preparing the CL lineup. Throw on top of this I was the only one running the Tiered clan War, and my drive to have time to improve, I had enough. Despite countless times of asking for help from the council and telling them I planned to step down, nothing happened. I couldn't take it anymore and I stepped down. This caused some commotion in the FCC as the council was dissolved and a redevelopment chat was created. There was plenty of talking, but nothing was done. After trying to convince them to merge, I decided I could not stay in the FCC and not get involved somehow in it'd rebuilding, so I left. Next day I wake up and the clan is gutted. This both saddens me and angers me. All the work I put in? Was it for nothing? Despite this I am thankful to everyone in the FCC for giving me a chance, and despite the sourness left behind, I still love ya'll guys.

To any former FCCer's and friends of mine that were kicked out, I'd appreciate if you pm me and I'll help you look for a new clan.

If anyone knows, I'm a bit confused on why most everyone in the clan was kicked?

@Aura I think alts bring not much to a clan. We had plenty of alts before in NWO and it was not doing the clan any favors. Good players leaving an uprising clan to join elite clans is very hard to see indeed and the only way to somehow prevent it is to have an extremely solid bond with most of your players (in particular the top ones), which is not easy to do and even if you do, it doesn't guarantee they won't leave :(.

Alts can provide some good, I think good examples are Pardon while he was in FCC, me in 101st, and Tribalwars in FCC. I think nWo's problem was they had too many, when your core is pretty much all alts, you're clan isn't gonna get anywhere. As far as the players leaving, it was because after I left plenty of talking happened but nothing was done.

Not totally sure. Something about it being for players who are active on discord or something, but that doesn't much make sense to me. Totally unnecessary and killed the community I wanted to keep together.

This makes me feel more like a failure and disgrace to warlight. I am sorry guys that I let you all down. I was never meant to be a part of this game. I am just a stupid idiot player who took on more than he could swallow. Seeing gamerz work so hard and my own loss of motivation knew that disaster was meant to be coming. Its just a cumulations of failures in my own part, both irl and here, that are turning me into a mess. I can't even figure out if my own health is right or not. I have had this dizzy feeling for months on end, and I can't figure it out. Well, its probably due to a failure on my part as well. I don't deserve this game. I don't deserve this community. I don't deserve anything. Because I am a failure. And failure don't deserve anything.

You deserve the ability to drop a game when you don't feel like you're having fun anymore.

You deserve the ability to say you don't want to be responsible for governing a clan for awhile, and you deserve recognition from others who don't deserve to be entitled to let you make the fun for them all the time.

You deserve to be happy, and you don't deserve unnecessary baggage and guilt.

no one man contributed to the crisis we had we all played a part in it i apologise for being stubborn about the subjects we discussed Aura you arent a failure if you failed fcc would be ash rn but its not its still got some life in it. i apologise to both of you for saying some of the things i said in the heat of the moment

I have the utmost respect for you Aura, both you and I know that you couldn't hold the clan together by yourself, nor would you be able to stay active forever. This is a failure on the part of the council as a whole, I do not blame you and nor should anyone else. You should do what I did, take the option that makes you the happiest, you can't just rely on pleasing yourself.

Ye don't be too hard on yourself Aura. Most people just join top clans instead of trying to build something of their own. Just few months ago, few people (within the WL strategy) were taking FCC seriously until you showed people wrong and started recruited very good players (Smoove for example) to really establish yourself as a serious strategic clan. I have no clue how you were perceived in the diplomatic part of your clan but in the strategic part, I think no clans other than maybe 7th Heaven has made so much improvements during the last 6 months or so.

I also understands how you feel Aura, because there are some clans out there like NWO that I think relies a lot on their main leader to glue everyone together and make the community great.

Edited 8/10/2017 02:08:48

Don't blame yourself too hard Aura not everyone can play this game for so long. If you had to leave then you had to leave not a big deal. Hopefully, FCC will come back in the future even with the events that have happened. And nice story Superz it was quite a read. I hope everything works out for you and you find the clan you want to join. Cheers!
