Inside the clans, we trained people to become better writers/RPers and had our own internal RPs. The battle between clans never made it to all-out war scale, but the tension between them was real. We went so far as to ninja each other's private forums by whatever means necessary to gain enemy intel. The competition even went beyond RPs. Tantalus and Evil Bad Guys had Flash wars, where both leaders created Flash movies. The comradery among the clan's members lead to the continuation of those clans in one form or another long after Clan Wars ended. SOLDIER was a culmination of Tantalus' and Itazura's members. Evil Bad Guys continued on for some time as well. What other RP event can claim to have brought attention to our site from other RP forums and get us on the radar as a prominent RP site?
Sure, it never finished, but it was an adventure anyway. Every event after has been trying to recapture that energy. That kind of energy is what we need back here again. I'm not saying we need another Clan Wars, but we need that sense of pride in our RP forum to make it the best damned RP Forum on the net. After most of the vets left, they took that energy with them. A few others and I stuck around to try to rekindle that flame but they eventually gave up as well. Other members have came and gone in an attempt to make the RP forum spring to life, but it has never been the same.
