Proud to be in CCC

[Rift]

Im proud to be in CCC, im proud of what i have created, and im proud of who i am

(((lets hope no one inturupts this time)))

[Hjelgan]

So am I. Beeing here is like love itself - Oh, I love you guys. In a friendly kind of way.

[ufokid]

I totally agree.

[TojinYeosen]

Pride is something that I believe all CCC members take part in. including myself

[eXp|ict]

amen brotha CCC's!

[unicornbliss]

Pride in CCC? Of course! Anyone who doesn't bow down to the almighty CCC will have their kneecaps broken! ;)

[TojinYeosen]

Oooohh... fiesty, I like 'em that way.... Keeps things... interesting. ;)

[Twan]

Happy 100th post unicornbliss
And ALL the CCC members are proud of being one, NO exceptions at all.

[unicornbliss]

[TojinYeosen]

[aaah]

[Spike]

Me too! Very proud hehe ;) Proud of being a member of CCC!

[Peter_Holmer]

im the proudest of the proud..

[ufokid]

It's so sad that almost everybody from this thread has left... :casstet:

[Peter_Holmer]

yepp... not me or you though =) my good friend... grath...

[Rychek4]

pride should come from your accomplishments. thats what really bonds people. Since you guys were created for DnL and since it hasn't been released yet I have trouble following. but that might explain why you say so many of the people have left.

Just thought Id shine some light on it there.

[Taspharel]

Aehm, without wanting to break anything or offend somebody, but .....

I AM PROUD NOT TO BE IN CCC


:)

[Porter]

Amen

proud not to be in CCC

[Kalico]

Going to have to agree with the two wise men above me. But Porter your siggy is quite big :P. Maybe you could make it a bit smaller?

[Porter]

in due time.....cant rush genius ya know ;)

[Peter_Holmer]

Its very sad that you go to others forums and write shit about our guild.
you are not welcome here. Please dont write anymore, and try to keep your pride.

Truly dissapointed, i did not think i would find persons like you in dnl.

[Kalico]

... I hope you did not direct that against me. If you did I seriously hope you are joking. But I dont think I wrote "poop", I only told Porter his sig was to big and added a little joke in there. I hope that does not offend you to much. If so... oops.

[Peter_Holmer]

Apology accepted. I am still disappointed though. =(

[aaah]

I agree with your argument but your lack of a good understanding of the situation invalidates your concludion. Pride is derived from accomplishment for the most part; however, there should be no restriction placed on what kind. Our guild has 'accomplished' much more than I thought we would have. In the beginning we of course were created for DnL, a new guild built from the ground up first by rift. Having dedication enough to start a guild and actvely and successfully recruit people even when having nothing but a name is an acomplishment. The next big accomplishment I see in our history again involved rift, this time his leaving. When he left most people assumed we would fold like most young guilds do when the leader leaves. Well, we didn't. Instead we have only become stronger. Other leaders stepped up to fill the void and our members were more active than ever. Today we have twice the membership we did at that time with most of them far more active. That is an accomplishment indeed. Many smaller accomplishments have come to, people within the guild collaborating to write a charter, design a site and further develop various aspects of the guild all built on our sense of presence and community from which many can draw their pride. Although we might not have much experience enjoying each others company in a game, our accomplishments together through a different medium have brought us a sense of pride which I see as justified.

I hope this helps you 'follow.'

So, again I am proud to be in CCC.

Day Jah vu (Spellcheck?:P)... Welcome to ToTl world, Aaah what you stated is an incredible feat, and trust me when I say I know what its like. CCC I have never given credit because it used to be lousy (only the truth, so did we) but now I see the leaders as strong ones. I hope you guys keep it up! More fun for us in game, hunting all you darkies :P, But I am going to leave your board now lol.

But seriously, CCC has gone through much and I think will go through more. I think you guys will outlast the hard times and show up everyone who has put you down.. You sure showed me up :P.

Kalico

[Rychek4]

hehe Im just messing with ya cause we are "light" and you are "dark" so enemies...well you get it

Anyway what Im saying is that guilds made for games that are not even released yet are prone to fall to peices the moment they actually move into the game. I compare you pre-game guilds to http://www.the-combine.com/ArticleViewer.aspx?ArticleNo=216 Were deyth points out that very few in your position make it.

Pre-game guilds are built around forums and IRC and websites, Things that are important to guilds yes but they lack experience with in-game things that actually make the difference in the powerful guilds and the leftovers. Yes holding a guild together when you don't even have a game to play is tough, but holding a guild together through many losing battles is even tougher. And if you really expect you guild to make it you need to understand that all new guilds have to go through losing periods, while you learn to work with each other, and you learn the importants of tactics and teamspeak and such. (ask yourself this, do you know what stacking is? if not then consider what you actually know about online gaming tactics.)

Also I don't think your accomplishments so far are that big of a feat. You wanna see a feat then go from where you are now to holding entire regions under your belt and ruling multiple sub guilds.

ps. I hope my posting this is taken as a challenge. If you wanna make it a goal to prove me wrong then perhaps you will have extra incentive to hold it together, and good competition is always welcomed :)

I am proud to be in CCC, alright, cool forum, lets go ahead and try and start a debate on whether or not us lasting a year + before a game went to closed beta is a nice accomplishment, or we can be fine normal people and just enjoy the pure fact of what we've done. I for one do not want you on our little sub seciton of the forums trying to bring about 'competition' over a little self-pride. k-thx.

[Breaker]

Rychek4: there is a time and a place man. its not here. its not now.

I seriously Hope you are kidding. That is kinda pathetic that you think a pregame Guild wont make it. ToTl for one has played SB and I think we know whats going on. The stack? The stack is a great SB tactic but how do you know what it will do in DnL? You really dont. We have people who have been in the gaming community for years and know a little bit of what they are talking about. So before you come to a new game thinking you are the only veteran, maybe step back and read up a little more! Might help you in the long run.
SB will not help you at all in this game. Totally different my friend.

And I think I speak for all guilds when I say that.

*Sorry CCC for interupting a thread on your forums, just feel that he needed to be put in his place*

you miss the whole point if you think Im saying they won't make it. Im saying the odds are stacked against them. Im also not really sure what your playing SB has to do with anything.

3rd cool you know what stacking is, and you should. Perhaps it doesn't apply to DnL but the guilds that research current MMORPG tactics will still have an advantage as they will know what to try and use first. They will be the first to know what works and what doesn't.

you think SB will not help me in this game is like saying working in american politics won't help someone moving into french politics. True all the faces may be different and the system will be different but by learning politics in one country you still learn alot about how people think and social trends. Hell I can make a football analogy if you want. Canadian football has different rules than american football...if someone plays in the canadian league for 10 years then he will be better at american football than someone that didn't play at all? yes indeed.

ps. CCC was alot more fun when dreadknight was around :P

also Im not really feeling that whole "put in his place" thing yet.

[Edited on 27/3/2004 by Rychek4]

[Kalico]

I see your poitn Rycheck, And Yes SB will help you. It just really pissed me off to see you come down here and talk down to guilds who really havent had the chance to play. But I was pissed and it was like 1:30 in the morning when I wrote that, so it probably didnt make much since. I saw your post as an attack, and that you felt like you were the only person on the boards who had experience in PVP gaming.
But What I am saying is that just because they are waiting. Doesnt mean We are inexperienced.

Also when I looked on your site I saw a pic of your crest on he map. Only 101 members. And you can have plenty of alts. In sb thats what most of the population was on those things. Maybe I'm wrong. Either way. Whether you feel put in your place or not, maybe you should drop it :). I certainly will.

I hope there are no hard feelings between our guilds. If so, terrible sorry there are.

For what the opinion of a tree-hugging lightie is worth, I think that the members of CCC are pretty decent folk. I am confident that both them and SoF will make it to release and beyond, as they both have good, strong, and loyal members within their roots. My hat goes off to CCC for a job well done. Now back to the competition ;) .

[Peter_Holmer]

thank you siria and kalico... all we need is some respect, even if we are dark, and you are light =)

[Kuja090]

Dreadknight is around, but his 49 posts per day aren't. He is active on our forums, and realises he doesnt need to be on these. For most has been discussed...

Many thoughts in 2 sentences. Maybe you'll understand.

[Rychek4]

ok obviously you guys are taking this all too seriously. Im just messing around. Besides, ask yourselves what are the likely consequences of my posting all this.

1. it will prob get you MORE fired up for the game and kicking my ass in pvp therefore helping you avoid some of the things I posted about.
2. there IS some good advice in my posts.
3. its gonna bring you guys together even more as you can rally around a common enemy.

anyway its just a game :P

there were certainly times when you were right, our hundred was prob just 10 people on treachery (where those screenshots are from) but we were a completly different guild on vengeace server. Vengeance was a new server so 100 people was usually abut 70 people there. Here are some screens from our guild + subguilds (many of which were still the main guild but pvp and recruit subs. Other subs still stick with us as we move to other games. Im not saying we are the only veterans here, if I was I would have posted in the main page or something. Im being a bit agressive true (light towards dark) but I am making them aware of many of the pitfalls along the way. Maybe I picked them because I saw more potential in CCC than most of the other dark guilds anyway.

Thank you all for your confidence (I'm going to interpret the criticism as confidence too... hehe) in CCC. I think it's very nice that you're so concerned about us, and let's not let hostility get in the way of having a good time.
/me dresses up like a hippy and sings songs next to a campfire

[Rychek4]

wait, in-game hostility IS a good time :P

anyway I think I cleared this up at least some with swede. Didn't mean to upset anyone. Honestly, the rest of the dark DNL guilds look like crap so far anyway. well maybe not SoF but they don't really look at that "dark".

[Kalico]

Cleared with ToTl too Rycheck, I understand, I'm glad that you all are a better guild now! I hope you guys keep goin strong, Forgive me for being such a jackass. I see your point, I just got on the offensive very quick. Terribly sorry once again :P.

[Bluenose]

SoF Not "That" dark???? Why I otta!!!

:) we are as dark as they come, but perhaps not quite as evil as CCC. Theres a differance :P

And I'll add a congratulations to the ccc leaders and members for your performance since rift left. I admit I was expecting you to fold and an influx of new applications for SoF but you have stood up and grown to be better than you were before :)

Im proud of your achievement ;)

[Chill_winston]

Im proud to be in CCC, and thankyou to the people who have given us kind words


and Rychek4 to make a guild in DnL u need a minimum of 30 people, how is this gonna be easy unless its set up before hand? i think it will be alot easier to carry guilds from beta - gold than start from scratch at gold when you need 30 members

no where did I say that you should start from scratch or even that you arn't doing everything right so far. :P

Also the need to have 30 members is gonna have to be interestingly implemented. Ill my thoughts on this on the main page later :)

[CHAOSLord]

I am proud to be apart of CCC, for I am Lord of CHAOS...MUWAHAHAHA...heh :cool:
