The thread that vibe posted about getting more activity on the forums made me think. Part of the reason we don't have activity on the forums is because we don't have activity on the grids. I know I am inactive as well, but this is winter vacation so I am taking a break. I'm not blaming anyone, and I'm not telling anyone to do anything different. I appreciate that many people can't devote a great deal of time to a game, and sometimes interest comes and goes. That being said we are lacking members in both sumo and df, actually playing very regularly. To get more activity on the grids and forums we need more members. This is where my rant begins:
It's hard to get a majority of rx members to accept applicants (especially from other styles), when the majority of voters aren't even online in these servers to meet the applicants. We have had a high rate of rejected applicants recently. I know that some of those were just bad applications, but maybe we are becoming too stingy to let new blood in. We were all stupid trollin noobs once... Maybe we need to let a few more of them in? Some of them might end up being awesome bros. You never know. I think we should alter the voting system. People have forgotten about the prospect faze. If it doesn't work out we just reject them...
It seems a lot of clans hate us. Why fight it? We tried being nice, but skill and persistence attracts negative attention. Maybe we should embrace our role as the villains of tron. The underdogs. The assholes. There is no such thing as honor among clans, only war. No one will ever give you any credit if you play nice and give them respect. Me and iNoob played nice against rZ, we assumed mutual respect, and how did they treat us? They said the war didn't count because it was "fun." Fuck that shit. We will take respect. We will rip respect from our enemies defeated hands. We will assume only our position as the best clan in the game. New members are the lifeblood of a clan. Think about the dead lifeless husk of a clan like dbd. Is that the future you want for Rx? Only faint whispers of ghostly members? I'd rather be full of active trolls than inactive saints. I don't give a fuck what other clans think. Bring on the fucking haters bitch. We're ready for it. We've all been through so much more clan drama and shit than anyone could ever imagine, and yet here we fucking are. Some how. Some way. We endure. Now we must not only endure, we must thrive.

Also- I think we need to start trimming the ranks of inactive players as well. I nominate these players to be kicked from Rx:
Who? Limit Sabit Nadia
I really like all these people but they are dead weight. We have a hall of fame to commemorate past members if I recall. Who? is a founder, but he hasn't been heard from in over a year easily. I would want to be kicked from Rx if I ever went as inactive as long as these players.
They can always re-app if they return to the game. All would be welcomed back with open arms I believe.

PLEASE LISTEN TO THIS WHILE READING 100% agree with you pd. I've started playing tron again and I feel we do need new members. The thing is, since I joined Rx I have not seen one acceptable applicant. But then again, that is my opinion. I will start looking out for some Rx material. It seems a lot of clans hate us. Indeed, a lot of clans. But as you said, why the fuck should we care about faggots who hate us. I also agree with this. I think Quake should be kicked, I see him rarely on the grid and on the forums. That sent chills down my spine. Great end to a great post [insert_ clap_icon_here]

I don't think you should put Sabit in that list yet. He's around a little bit, unlike the others who are completely gone.

Oh, another suggestion. We should get some sort of notification when there's a poll for a new user. I don't really check in here often because it's almost always dead, so if I got a PM or something I would happily come give my input.

Idk if it's just me, but by the end of that, it sounded like a motivational speech from Hitler in my head. xD I even read it in his voice. Oh .. something's wrong with me. It's true though, we need some more active people.

Yeah I went a little crazy when I wrote this haha XD
Also Kira, since you are more active than me in df I will trust your judgement on Sabit. That being said we really do need to get rid of people who don't bother to check in on the grids/forums for months and months at a time. It sucks that some great members have stopped playing this game, but pretending that they will come back doesn't help our clan get better.

I've gone ahead and deleted those names from the roster. What about quake, wiz, and sabo? I haven't seen them for quite some time. They don't post on the forums and when they do get on grids it's only once in a blue moon. As I said, I like all of these people but their activity level is so low it's hard to justify keeping them in the clan. This clan is based on playing a game. If you don't play that game or care to post on the forums, why would you want to be considered part of our clan?

wiz plays again - sab is around a tiny bit - but not much - maybe once a month or two (atleast that i see) - quake i've seen like - idk .. once every 6 months if im lucky lol - he's pretty much gone i guess hmm - this has to be my post with worst grammar yet - random thought as for nadia - i dont think i ever even met h er - skittle idk when last time i saw - and limit i thought i saw like maybe a month or so back now - idk longer than i thought off top of my head the only actives i really see in tron - inoob and pd - wiz has been around some - idk if he's gonna stay though - he said he dont know either - vibe has been on a bit - but i havent been on in a couple days much b/c of christmas time - so hopefully he stays - i cant seem to think of other active (or semi-active) rxers off top of my head sad thinking back when i played the whole time in a server full of rxers *cries a little*

I've seen someone named wiz wearing non-rx tags, but I don't know if it's Rx.wiz or a different wiz.
Other things I suggest we do is give sumo-warlord to iNoob instead of Obsession (who is semi-inactive), and promote kira from sleepwalker to lieutenant.

Lol I think I'm still RxP on that roster, unless you've updated it. Also, that Wiz is dL's Wiz. He's not an imposter, just a different one that shortened name from (I forget what, but contained Wiz) to it to keep the color code in his name. He's not too bad to talk to, and not a troll. The real Rx Wiz is around some though. I hope he didn't quit, but he said he wasn't sure if he would stay or not.

Sabo has come on about once a month to let me know that he's grounded and they don't let him play tron that often.
I've seen wiz more lately. Maybe we should try to get a definite answer from him.
I have no clue why quake doesn't play anymore.
But maybe you're right, we should try to shave the roaster as thin as we can. And if these people ever decide to come back and be active they'll be welcomed back.

So probably a good idea to remove sabo and quake from the roaster as well. (not wiz sense he's been on lately)

Oh and, Pdbq You can have sumo warlord position IF you want it. I already have loose df. If you don't want it I'll take it though. I don't mind either way, but I you more of a sumoer then me, a ctfer.

I agree that the roster should be shaved, and we can accept people that become active again.
I will accept the position of sumo warlord if it's offered and no one has any objections. I'm going to start looking into inviting new members from sumo, and getting more wars going on.

I've played Wiz a number of times in the recent past and he's wearing 6lu tags. Almost certain it's the same Wiz too. I'll have to double check that though. And I totally agree with just about everything that's been said in here. Roster needs thinning, and we need new blood. Don't want Rx to turn into another dbd.

Pretty sure you're confusing Wiz and d~wiz. d~wiz is the wiz in 6lu, and Wiz (ours) is the one that uses his red color and usually wears Rx tags.

Word, I stand corrected. I've been thinking it was our Wiz this whole time, haha. Just assumed that while I was gone Wiz quit and joined 6lu.

That's basically been my attitude for a while now and i love that you agree. But at the same time, i like the fact that everyone in this clan that is a great player doesent give a shit about our clan image already - and thats my main problem with letting new people in. I agree we need more active people but at the same time i dont want some new-fag defending us because we've spent so much time not giving a shit. I love going into a game with Pd, inoob, duke and others and having some vcl kid, or some old fort player just start talking shit about us and we just help them. it makes us un-trollable. they call us gay and we're just like DUDE I KNOW! Rx is just full of noob fags.. its hilarious. i cant tell you how many times we've made people just RQ because of how mad we make them by agreeing to it.
I fucking love the hate, it makes us so much better than any other clan because we know who we are and we dont have to prove shit to anyone. And because we're really only hated by dying clans that noone cares about and are only respected for their shit-talking and their maybe 2 fucking good players.
my 2 cents ~<3 `knight

To resurrect this thread, I'm starting to see a lot more of us active these days, and a lot of interest expressed from various players wanting to join. Maybe we should revisit the 'new blood' argument. I've noticed a strange influx of players from other game types into the loose servers and bringing a fair amount of skill with them at times. It seems like things are finally picking up a bit in the df world. We have the new arrival of mister Panda Jams, (Welcome btw, bradda!) and more players increasing activity.
We don't necessarily have to start a recruiting drive or anything drastic, but maybe consider keeping a lazy eye open for possible new members?
Maybe shift the current inactive players to an inactive board and thin out the roster again? No one gets mad if they can be reactivated whenevs, ya know?
Just some ideas.

I agree with everything that has been stated in this discussion. The roster does need trimming for sure. And for this new blood topic Heck ya we could use some of that as vibe said there has been a pick up of players constantly in the df world. and i think we could harness that. and maybe sometime get going back on ctf? we have some dope ctfers we just need to become more active in that game type and those events. If you would like i could post competitions and see who can attend. Iw would also be a great team building experience too;b

We should make sure that we put all the names of the dismissed on the former rx page out of respect.
