The Armory Clan has evolved into an excellent community over these past few years. We have a friendly attitude throughout, a sharp looking website, a large roster of players, people willing to donate hard-earned money to support our endeavors, and a quality server capable of hosting several games simultaneously. These would all be unattainable if the community did not possess basic, yet crucial, characteristics: dedication and particpation. These two qualities are fundamentally what makes The Armory exceptional and rare.

 

A countless number of clans are created each year. Nearly all are destined to collapse within a few months or the year, their community disbanding with the unlikely chance they will all share a common place again. Despite these odds, there are clans that will exist far longer than the others, like the Armory. So, why do most clans fade away with time while a few others seem set in stone? All clans begin at the same place - marked by the free website and, perhaps, even a small server. Well then, what differs between these two types of clans? The answer is simple. The clans that will last have a group of players that are dedicated and willing to participate. These players sacrifice time that could be spent playing games to work on the community. They are willing to work at making the clan successful, rather than after a few setbacks quit. A group of players that are dedicated and willing to participate is the foundation of a good, long lasting clan. From there, large servers and extravagant websites can be created.

 

This group, or the leadership, can only contribute so much though, seeing as we all have lives and jobs outside the clan. They essentially give the general members of the clan and the rest of the community the tools to help create an even better clan/community. Many hours are spent giving us the potential to help better what we have here. I have seen much of this potential gone unused in the past and it saddens me to see hard-work done for nothing. The leadership can only take the community so far.

 

So, let's help this group, that has worked so hard in the past, to create an even better community. We have the chance to thrive and produce a truly outstanding community and clan. Look around, see where you can contribute. The possibilities are endless.

<3 sharp

Huzzah Huzzah Huzzah!

 

As a slight adendum to what you said, I believe TAC has transcended the eponymously implied primitiveness of the word "clan". We are a full blown community, family, organization, etc. etc. The gaming quality of life at TAC must rate among the highest in the world.

Well said. I recall that JFK video clip. I rofl picturing you in his place shaking your ok47 saying that.
