I don't want any bad blood with KOA, and I really do wish you all the best. I do despise JefJef like 95% of the people on this site because of his immaturity (a quick look at his sig will show that), but I can overlook one person. Let me clear up a few things:

1. You cannot challenge the EMPIRE until you are a proven clan. As Cheme stated, WE would be laughed at for farming you. It is no reflection on the quality of your clan. It appears from personnel you will do ok here. But you aren't battle tested, and as you know from challenges with the Mermen, a lot goes into a challenge. We have a challenge on our docket coming up in January, and the new Leap Frog system will allow for challenges within 7 places of your current rank. Cheme is correct in saying you should challenge a newer clan, or if you want to go in quick and hard, a more establish, but lower achieving clan. I think you should start with someone like Soldiers of War, who are established and can handle a good challenge, but aren't so strong that they'll run away with it. These are just friendly suggestions. Take them or leave them.

2. My comments re: LOW were not meant to be negative. If Master Chief is good friends with Chard, by all means, ask him to mentor you guys. One of the best ways to ensure a new clan survives is to have good leadership, and it's tough to be a leader in a new clan. A lot goes into it. LOW is one of the best and most respected clans on the site. If they are willing to help you out in any way, jump on that opportunity.

3. Last suggestion. Familiarize yourself with the clan community. It's good to have friends in other clans. It's fun to have enemies as well. Having other clans you get along with offers a great way to train your teams. We practice different teams/maps often and rather than having any random public team join those games, we ask our friends in other clans to fill teams. I talk with TOFU, Monkis, Mythology, Brethren, AOC, and Nemesis frequently to fill team 2 duties when we are trying out new members or just practicing. They do the same with us.

I'm not going to touch on your initial statement, I'll let jefjef and or Megas deal with that, if not someone else.

As for #1, I don't really care who we play as long as they don't belittle or underestimate us.

#2, I consider myself on equal footing with chard and reptile. I've been on this site as long as they have if not longer and have played with both of them many times. I've successfully lead a clan before (The Bounty Hunters) which was at least in the Top 5 on the site (according to Blitzaholic) back in 06-07. I have many friends in other clans, including Mythology (MTIceman, peanutsdad, BIGMEANIE), Bullet Proof Bandits (ptlowe, owenshooter, happy2seeyou), and even THOTA (Blitzaholic, the conqueror himself; dividedbyzero, osujacket, Commander, Chao, Incandenza, AAFitz). I have also been invited to join a few other clans (Myth, THOTA, LOTZ, Xi, and a few others I can't remember at this moment), and so I have a few friends in those clans as well. KOA has many experienced players, and a few former Clan Leaders in addition to myself. We do not, I repeat, DO NOT need to be mentored. The mere suggestion of it is offensive. I'm not sure if you meant it to be, but it still is. If any mentoring is needed, either myself or one of the other experienced players in OUR OWN CLAN shall preform the deed.

#3, I admit that being away from CC for 3 years has put me on the outs with most of the intricacies of the site, including the clans and everything that is going on with them. I shall leave those who know about it better to deal with that.

From now on, I hope that this thread, meant for ONLY recruitment purposes, should remain that way. If you have any questions or comments other than those pertaining to recruitment or wishing us good luck, please send it in a PM to either myself or one of our qualified clan leaders.

Thank you for reading my long, and very much necessary, comment.

Wow i think there is a lot of trolling in this thread. Why doesn't everyone leave jefjef, megas, and masterchief alone. Let them get there clan up and running, and wish them best of luck. The more competitive clans we have, the better the clan league will become. As for KOA challenges, let them challenge who they want. I am sure that MM would accept a challenge to help them get going. I don't consider us to be push overs either! lol Anyways great squad guys keep going and don't get into pissing matches with people who have nothing better to do! :D :D

Alright enough already. As stated this is a recruiting thread. Any further trolling or flaming is going to be turned into the mods-you know theherkman-those people with the colored names that enforce rules? You have already been told to move along. I suggest you do so.

Thank you for all of the well wishes-we appreciate it! As for the other crap I don't feel the need to respond...sticks and stones and all that jazz....

Thank you Kung-fu Panda man and "The dice are foed" dude. You're well wishes mean a lot.

Ditto to what the Queen of KOA said.

Special message to "theherkman" ---> If I see your name in this thread one more time, I'm going to get jefjef to get a mod and personally hunt you down and kill you. Or maybe just maim you. You know, take a baseball bat to your knees or something. Fun stuff.

Really? Again with all the dribble spewing. 95% of the site? You and your 3 friends aren't 95% of the site and what you posted here is what you consider mature?

You come in here and tell us we are mediocre at best and would walk all over us then turn around and say you won't play us cuz of blah blah blah. Your here trying to undermine us with your lies and bs. Thats maturity? You're a clan leader. You should know better than to try to muck up and derail clan threads...

This thread is for KOA recruitment. You have something to say make your own thread or pm. Take it elsewhere.

I readily admit I know nothing of clans, or mergers or alliances. Hence my comment on allowing leadership to ponder / resolve :D I'm here to KOA not be all political ;)

Thank you to BoganGod for your first class and honest post. The Brethren is a well led and top tier clan.

Thank you to Great ollie again for the well wishes and wise words.

Thank you to commander9 also.

Your comments are much appreciated.

Any one else wanting to KOA get in here and lets us know!

You have spammed this thread enough. Enjoy your coming vacation.

Save the trash talk for the battlefield :twisted:

If you (or your clan) wants to say something about us, our leaders, or the clan - do it in the form of a clan challenge. If you don't feel we are "competitive" enough, or established, then save the trash talking for a later date when you're willing to back it up with more then words.

Just my $0.02, you can't say much about us or our competitiveness if you're not willing to face the fire.

Cheers,
IcePack

Then we would all have to mock Empire for farming. Why not start with another new clan? Then once you guys climb into the Top 20, in about a year or so, perhaps a clan of Empire's caliber will pay you some attention. Until then, good luck.


Awww, How cute.

FYI: I am 10 wins - 5 losses in team games vs Space Cowboy teams. I also have a nice win % vs ljex teams... mmmmmmm. Yes. I believe challenge 1 will be vs Empire.

Meh, hows your record vs me playing with empire teammates or playing on maps/settings that I play often? Yeah you have a good win record vs me but its relevance to how you would play vs me in a clan war is lacking...simply put 1 of the 9 games we played vs each other (not counting the speed fs game) is one on maps and settings that i might be signed up for in a clan war. Not saying you wouldn't continue your success just saying that we cant really know if you would based on our games.

Hi! Welcome to the KOA recruitment thread. You are a global moderator. You are off topic and really should know better. You could of at least wished us great luck with our new family.

Have a nice day, thanks for stopping by and KOA.

You posted something about me, i responded. Not really off topic considering you were the one who started the idea of my record vs you...anyway I really don't want this to become a thing, i just wanted to post my 2 cents responding to what you said about me and leave.

Lastly I hope this new clan is a good experience for everyone involved, looks like a decent starting roster.

"Kiss Our Asses" is definitely a great name. Any chance you guys would be willing to give it another shot?
