Long live Toxic
Minutes ago, juo came back from the dead, and brought me to my attention that the clan was undergoing a major crisis.
Seeing the thread list shocked me at first, but on consideration I do not think the situation is a serious as people, including Patrick_Unrated, make it sound like: this clan is in crisis, but it's not dead.
Since shit is already flying around quite badly, I will use some of the credit I think I have earned with you guys and speak my mind straight. This is not intended to be a flame, so please keep the discussion here cool-headed.
Fact: Tripstone and DarkEnergy have a long record of behaving as immature jerks.
I think Tripstone is good guy, but he cannot hold his temper. I think DarkEnergy is just unstable. They both have large credit for having shown great and continued dedication to the clan.
Tripstone, your public apology was remarkable, and I believe it is sincere. But amending one's character is long and hard work, not something one can do overnight. I speak from personal experience.
Fact: A lot of great players were recruited recently, and many, but not all, of those recruits recently left.
I believe there is still a solid core of loyal members. I consider myself one of those.
Fact: Patrick_Unrated work as co-leader so far was of great quality.
He did get some things wrong now and then, but he was always mild-tempered and readily admitted his mistakes.
Patrick_Unrated, I think your "Clan is dead" thread was one such mistake. This clan is not dead, yet. And I believe you are the one person best placed to get it through this crisis.
Personally, I would welcome Patrick_Unrated as the new permanent leader of Toxic, with Tripstone as second in command. Tripstone, in the past you have put the interest of the clan before your own, so I believe you can see this change would be for the good the clan.
Now, guys please raise your head and move that clan forward.
For the record, here's a summary of the roster at the time I started writing this post:
- Tripstone
- JumalanKasi
- ddaa
- QuanChi
- Yiep
- HappyDog
- Thatone
- d[1]mka
- Rayson_The_Reaper
- Static_Death
- Fireless
- Squid
- Zo6
- Dog
I do not see Patrick_Unrated here, since I did not see him post a resignation message, I believe this is an oversight.
