I bet you guys never thought that your clan would be so popular
 

I just makes me laugh seeing how many users come to this forum.. and just how popular you guys are.


I wonder what your popularity is based on??? My first answer to that points me in the direction of "Presentation"

1. Your website kicks ass - which in turn makes you guys that more believable/legit

2. The fact that you've(Rator & others) have managed to recreate all of the Socom maps in such detail that are now so widely available thanks to your efforts.

3. TWB is definetly also a huge part of it.

I dunno, its just a clan.. however you guys seem to be more than that.


comments?? Thoughts??

Your right..... its more than a clan...... its a brotherhood. Semper Fratres.

Re: Re: I bet you guys never thought that your clan would be so popular
 

Hoot hit the nail on the head.....a clan is not all about a cool website and some flashy graphics...a clan is about the People! And it is that, IMO that makes SS great (in my eyes..).

Re: Re: Re: I bet you guys never thought that your clan would be so popular
 

Yeah I certainly agree with that.. Im pretty tight with alot of my clan members.

Brotherhood... that about definetly sums it up...

I can officially rest in peace now.

For me, the [SS] and Socom are a BIG part of my life.

It's not just a clan. The clan members are my friends and brothers.

The clan can be as big or as little part of your life as you want it to be, depending on YOUR effort and time committment to it.

What makes you feel like its a brotherhood??

What are your clan membership benifits?

Hope Im not prying too much, Im just looking for substance.

We actually care about each other (not to sound gay, lol) but our guys do anything and everything for each other, members have sent members money, cables, routers, computers, you name it, if someone was in need they got the help they needed. Ever watch Band of Brothers? Yea , we're like those guys. The respect that everyone here has for each other is phenomenal, the effort that is put forth by everyone is exemplary.

Its not really something that you can explain, its something that is experienced.

As far as the main question... "I bet you guys never thought that your clan would be so popular"

I never thought so. I created the clan with the structure in place and rewards system, ranks etc and made sure to recruit the man and not the game. That has served us very well in the past 3+ years. We have only lost 1 man to another clan in that time.

Semper Fratres!

Im sorry. who did you lose?

We don`t speak of him anymore

his name i mean

alright, I understand

DAMN RIGHT SEMPER FI

Re: Re: Re: I bet you guys never thought that your clan would be so popular
 

Not sure if you know or not Greek, but Semper Fi is short for Semper Fidelis not Semper Fratres. Semper Fidelis means Always Faithful, where Semper Fratres means Always Brothers, or Brothers Forever.

oh i knwo that, my cousin was a Marine in Vietnam

Wow. I agree with [SS] in that the clan is much more than a game. Just to prove that point, a member of our current clan was having financial problems and couldn't buy S3. So my clan leader and a few of the members sent money for him to buy the game. Now he's enjoying it with all of us.

I really liked that.

also the motto "SEMPER FRATRES" was originated WITHIN SS. After our 1 year anniversary, we all chipped in and Got Rator a engraved Naval Sword and I felt we should somehow incorporate a logo/motto on it. The motto needed to signify what the clan meant to each of us.. and yes that it was more than a clan.. but a brotherhood, so we came up with "Always brothers.. Semper Fratres"
