Hello guys, Cole here. This is going to be a long write.
6/29/2013
^ that is the exact date I made my account that we all know. It's been 3 years. It's been a long road, and an expensive one (people who have seen my garage can vouch for that). I've made it a long, long, way in those 3 years. I've had great moments, and I've had great people. I will continue to have these. After taking it upon myself to make a clan over one year ago, I was a terrible player. I had no idea of what I was about to get myself into. It's grown into 40 players, more than I have ever dreamed of having. I've gotten much better as a player because I've had a good community of people around me (my clan, duh!) I'm very proud of what I've done with this account, and regret doing nothing. When I first made this clan, I had no idea what I wanted to do with it. At the time, I simply wanted "to be better than -X clan". (-X clan is where the original members came from, and we had a rivalry upon first making Cold Steel). Now, that has completely changed. I have no problems with -X clan. I respect them, and what they do. I dreamt of having 20 players, and having youtube videos for our clan. Now, we've hit 40 players, have an active youtube channel, and a Twitch. But now, I actually have a vision for our clan. I want us to be "that clan". You know. That clan which everyone knows. A very good clan. a clan which takes the experienced and makes it more-experienced. A clan with great skill, coordination, attitude, and respect. One of the standing things that has made us stand out in recent months is our desire "to make it to the bigs while maintaining a chill atmosphere". I want to keep our ideology at that. I want to make it to the bigs, while making sure every player is as comfortable as he/she can be. I want to be able to pay my members to play. I want them to be happy. To be proud of what they are in. As such, it starts with a recruit. I need ALL OF YOU to recruit as much as you comfortably can. I would have never envisioned having 40 players in here, so let's make that even more! We need active, skilled players who aren't afraid to help us grow and be dedicated. It's a lot to ask, but I guarantee it will pay off. I have a plan. A plan for my clan. (stop it, cole!). If you've made it this far, then PLEASE share it with whoever you can. We need players with Tier 8 minimum (will be bumped to 10 as soon as all CURRENT ACTIVE PLAYERS acquire a tier 10.) All players also need to be active, have a 900+ WN8, with a recent WN8 of 1300+. I know that most of you reading this will think that these are tough requirements. I understand, but all current players should work towards this, and all incoming should adhere to this. It's time that we step up to the plate. Remember, please share this with whoever you can. I'm proud of what I've done with my account, and my clan. I will continue to be.
-Cole, your Commanding Officer.
