I doubt that kind of treatment to a guy makes you or me look like a noob- clan. Now what kind of lame ass argument is that - we're looking noob to other people o:!? What should we do?!
Let me break it down for you, Tina.
There are more important things to consider when "evaluating a clan".
Few of them - which can be seen in this situation - are:
*Not running a background check on a guy who applies.
*allowing a clan hopper in.
* this leads to a "people that are actually in" thingy - how do THEY behave, - check out this guy's views on the whole swooya discussion
here look how much he cares! :P you should probably be more careful with letting people in, my advise >.>
*Core members - you - questioning leader's decision publicly, (bleep)ing up - probably - some other member's morale, their trust in the clan's head man. Now that if you really cared about the clan "cause you're so long in it", and wasn't "noob" yourself in such cases, you'd know better how to deal with those situations. Provided you don't think so well as one might expected, I'll tell you what I mean - you should SUPPORT your leader, and go with what he does - if you can not think alike - then you've got more problems than the one you just brought up - about dissing a person who insulted you.
*now. you were (bleep)ed up by some random clan hopper. a tourist, like Shlimmy indicates.
Not messing with him back - sending a clear message to everyone, that leaving so soon, lying, clan hopping, and generally insulting all your clan is ok, and such guys should be free to continue doing so. In other words, you're showing to bend over and act like one spineless type of clans. That's cool, eh? Still think the things that happened were noob? Maybe you just lack imagination to see how it would look otherwise. If you do lack it- try not to be so convinced in your "if"s.
If you let that slide and bend over like that, that would clearly send a message you have no idea how to deal with such problems yet. And that's lack of experience, or if you preffer - that's this so-called being "noob".
After all, by trying not to be "noob", you'd be "noob", and bring so much problems on your head.
Which drives us to another point - possibillity (big one) of you making just an excuse to you leaving the clan. One "worthy, old and respected in Toribash" Evil member, as Pookie is kind to call you wondering if not to give the clan up, which respects him so much (what for, if all terty thinks about is if to bail out, or if not to bail out, rather than - how to fix the clan - if there's anything to fix really). It's like going sissy again. Now provided you weren't acting like a "noob" in this case too, growed yourself some balls and fix the problems, you're on the edge of leaving a clan, running like a... eh, young player, with no clan loyalty. You're better than that, if not - then eh, why should they miss you?
Now, such uniting the clan against the common "enemy" as such person who insulted you was, will take just a moment, (see things already settled out) but it shows who respects the clan, who doesn't. Who cares if it's hurt.
It will also send a clear signal (again) to all clan hoppers who will see what the hell happened here, and most possibly some of them will reconsider (bleep)ign their clans up.
other than that, swooya will probably settle down. He was burned for clan hopping and fire... burns. Now tell yourself what's worse - doing all that stuff above, or ranting at clan hopper?
Now the smack-talk was finished as soon as he stopped - at least in my vs his case. I started it yes, but seems many spineless people didn't start it for themselves, so I did it - too - for everyone who didn't, and SHOULD, do that already... ;)
P.S. Your first thought might probably be, that I'm not from this clan, so I'm not right, but the fact that I'm not in Evil only means I will not take out anything from it. Selflessly - not counting the fun, and satisfaction of an occassional rant every now and then ;P.
