couldn't have said it better myself.
Its hard to make a logical argument to defend RAWR, Gynx has very clearly conveyed the wishes of what is apparently an omniscient Clan Council these days. We didn't play enough, we didn't post enough, we don't idle in irc all day. The only potential argument I can see us making is that perhaps all of this is 'too much, too late'. As toribash itself dwindles in activity they now decide to crack down on clans...doesn't really make sense to me but ok.
Back to the quote from Chintu...I'm only speaking personally here, but I'm sure some of the other guys might feel the same way. Most of the core members in RAWR have been friends and playing together since the beginning. While I was not in RAWR since its inception, I played a lot with these guys in my early 'formative' years of toribash. I was 17 then and I'm 24 now..I can't think of any other game where I have been friends with the same group of 'strangers' for 7 years.
Life does indeed sneak up on you. We are forced to grow up, get real jobs, and face the world. Despite all of that however I still find myself coming back here. Sometimes after 1 month, sometimes its 5 months, maybe longer..but I keep coming back to see how things are going, particularly to catch up with my friends at RAWR. In a weird sense I feel like part of me has grown up with these guys.
Gynx if you are reading this (and I hope you do), I am sorry if you get the impression we are jumping down your throat. I know you've been around the block a few times as well, and at the end of the day I still consider you a friend despite what the outcome of this may be. This is just you doing your job and I get that. Its just that to me, and probably some of these other guys, RAWR isn't about status, or being legends, or any of that shit, its more about the bond we've all shared creating this thing over the years. Its our home. Theres no arguing that we dont have our fair share of dead weight, but if they ever come back there is still a place for them(ie. bitlord is back from the dead!). Its never been our style to just recruit random, more active players, RAWR has always been a place for old friends to call home.
