Men and women of the Royal Minecraft Militia, and players of Minecraft in general, I am here to present the second clan address. I come to you not in great optimism, but instead with great anger. In my last address, I spoke of the magnificent nature of our clan, and the righteous duty that we protect. Now, I must address how we will preserve it.
The Royal Minecraft Militia has always held itself, and thereby its members, to a standard higher than many clans. Our application process is significantly more rigorous, our selection process more... selective. We expect great things from our members. And it seems that in some cases, our expectations are not met.
Our home server, a private IP, has been experiencing issues of late. Server rollbacks can damage structures and storages when it crashes. But this is NOT hiding an obvious fact.
There is griefing. There is theft.
THIS. IS NOT. ACCEPTABLE.
The Royal Minecraft Militia does not grief. It does not steal. But somehow, it is happening within our own clan. I had hoped, perhaps foolishly, that I would not need to moderate our OWN HOME SERVER. I had hoped that I could trust my brothers in arms. But as our clan has grown in size, as our memberlist has lengthened to the point of obsoleteness, it has become impossible for me to personally know all of our members. Because of this, I do not know who may be griefing. I do not know who is a pathetic waste of bandwidth. I do not know what barely-sentient puddle of scum is using primitive pseudopod to defame the great name of the RMM. But I will deal with it, rest assured.
High Command has worked hard to get this clan to the point it is at. I will not adjust my beliefs for diplomatic appearances, I will say this simply: The RMM is the best clan in Minecraft. The oldest, largest, most established. We have all the members and resources we need to succeed. I will not sit by and let a few bad seeds damage this clan's reputation. And it is because of this I must announce something terrible. Something that I did not wish to do, but must.
This begins the Great Purge.
Starting at 12:00 AM EST, October 18, EVERYONE in this clan, excepting myself and Major General iPope will be demoted to the rank of Recruit.
EVERYONE.
In order to regain your rank, you will need to do two things:
1)Log on to our forums and post in the Great Purge thread, as proof of your continued activity. (Or e-mail me personally as to why you cannot) 2)Speak to me, iPope, or an officer who has regained their rank. Personally, for a short evaluation. You can contact us on our servers, on the forums (here, or our forums, through private message), on the Teamspeak (Preferred), via E-mail, or IRC (Try #minecraft and #D3, we will try to be active in these channels.)
And BOTH items must be completed before October 31st of 2010. If you do not complete both, your rank will be lost permanently, and you will need to regain them the hard way.
It pains me to do this, truly it does. But things have become lax, and our institution MUST remain elite. I believe that all of our members have something to contribute. Unfortunately, it seems that some can only contribute things I don't want, like swastikas and crime. I don't expect you to each be individually the best. I expect you all, as a whole, to be the best.
The Royal Minecraft Militia is not just any clan. It is a collection of the best players in Minecraft, and we firmly believe that of our members. If you WANT to play with the best, if you want to be part of a clan that actually does something, report in. If you can't make the cut because you're immature, stupid, or a douchebag; This is your chance to fade out of our ranks.
Our member count will suffer, perhaps some of the aforementioned bad seeds may talk trash about us. But because of this, our clan will be trimmer, tighter, and more trustworthy. I hope that all of my friends, and all of your friends, will stay. But if you are a griefer, leave now, before I really start trying to track you down. We can do much worse than you would expect.
A...purge? A purge you say? Well, good show, for since I am a soldier, Chaplain, and Space Marine all rolled into one tasty package, I specialize in purges!
The Emperor's Sons are yours to command, sire. May the cleansing commence!
Sirs, I enlisted on the forums yesterday. I respectfully ask if someone can look, even if you are not of rank to approve me. I am open to all criticism. I also am more than willing to submit myself to an evaluation. I under no circumstances mean to sound insubordinate, I am just anxious to join in the glory of RMM.
We apologize for your wait. Applications can take several days to process, especially in the current chaos of reorganization. Please be patient and a commander will respond. Thank you for your interest in the RMM!
Hello, I'm Sarari from Nanobot Rising,I am the Red Nanobot Leader, we would like to set up an alliance with the RMM, we would be a good asset to not only battles, but recourses as well, we have advanced technology and feel we could fair well with you.
Hi, Sarari. Until PvP is available, the RMM has a very strict alliance policy. However, when warfare is a possibility, we will certainly contact you for diplomatic discussion.
Greetings! In light of recent events, I would like to make a formal apology for some remarks I made some time ago regarding the morality of RMM's command structure, specifically regarding iPope and his recruitment, punishment, and dismissal of members. I rescind my statements from those times, and formally apologise to any I insulted, whether they remember it or not. And yes, this was a very long time ago. With the ShadowDusk er.... disagreement.
Sincerely,
~Narcisism.
P.S. You're not on the first page! :ohmy.gif: Bump! :3
Rollback Post to RevisionRollBack
Youtube: TheEzzran (but I don't have anything uploaded yet. Stupid computer not liking recording)
I'll be using that youtube account to upload Minecraft Let's Plays when I get a better computer
Apology certainly accepted. That was a heated situation, and all kinds of negativity was had. And thanks, lol, for the bump!
In other news, the first post has been significantly updated, something that was long overdue. Additionally, regarding news of a potential clan merge, I want to assure everyone that should such an event occur, we will handle it with all the respect, gentleness, and seriousness necessary. No one needs to fear calamitous changes.
And as a reminder, the Great Purge deadline is nearly upon us! If you have not posted in the appropriate thread, you will be removed from our memberlist!
Hmm, yes, a quite satisfactory update. It will be nice to figure out who is in my battalion without having to wade through a list of members that came on exactly once and then disappeared for a year. Also, I would like to take this opportunity to welcome back THIS BADASS:
That's right, we're bringing her back, baby! Oh how I have missed her. But in the name of the Almighty Notch, the Cathedral will return!
Ten, don't you remember the massive project we had about a month back? The one where we were like "Yeah, this is awesome!" And then Minecraft.net crashed and we were like, "Oh noes!" And then KoL shut down and we were like "Oh noes again!" And then it came back up and we were like "Yay!" And then we built the cathedral and we were like "Epic!" And then KoL rolled back and we were like "D:". Yeah, that's what that is. It will be rebuilt in FB city.
Jesus Christ, that was probably the worst paragraph I've ever written.
And thus the great purge has ended. All members who have not responded or proved their activity thus far can consider themselves recruits until further notice.
