Drama in Gaming World

Now I was going to stay out of this until I was personally attacked by someone in another blogs comments about not having a brain.


I am another former member of PCP that was given the boot yesterday dude to "inactivity." On the day before I was given the boot I was gaming with two PCP members that are not in ARXV. I made it to clan night just a week ago and I post in the forums almost on a daily basics. Not sure how that could be concider "inactive" but I guess in someones eyes it was.

In Meemoos blog it was stated that the COC of PCP was in place before the forming of ARXV. Yet in there is states that some members of PCP will be grandfathered in do to the fact of us not having this in place before hand. No those are not the words verbatim but you get the base of the understanding. Every since ARXV has formed anytime something goes wrong in PCP it some how gets blamed on ARXV. If you are the biggest clan in 2o2p with over 200 members how can your problems be blamed on a clan that has less the 50 members?

Lets get back to my reason for the boot "inactivity." It is true that I have not been to clan night before last week in awhile, but gaming is not my life. I have a daughter who is in high school and she is in the band. When is clan night, Friday nights. When do high school football teams play and the band preforms, Friday nights. So no I'm not going to miss my daughter's band performance to show up to clan night. The school she goes to is McGavock. A lot of people might not know, but if your from TN you should know that this school has one of the better bands. So there is a lot of practices and contest that they have which in turn means I am not at home gaming. I have sent pictures to the Blackberry group i am in which has ALL PCP members in there of their practices. So they have been informed as to why I was not gaming. Their have been several nights that I have gamed in a room with both PCP and ARXV members. Some times the ARXV room will pick up PCP members so that the PCP members are not gaming by their selves. So I am not sure how I have been "inactive." Maybe I have been active with the wrong members of PCP. I'm not sure. PCP had a LAN back in August in Pitt. I live in TN which is an 8-9 hour drive depending on traffic. I made it there yet one of the "active" members of PCP lives there and didn't make it. At this time PCP had about 150 members and out of them only about 15-20 members made it out. If I was "inactive" why did I take time off work and make that drive?

Join Pension Plan Commandos! I'll boot you for shits and grins and then add you back in. All at random and possibly with no explanation whatsoever... In time you'll just not care about being booted as it will have happened to you repeatedly and your spirit will be undoubtedly broken. =)

As a fellow Tennessean, I figured I would say hey. I have nothing to do with either clan and it is none of my business. I have read all the blogs and it seems PCP has some problems. Maybe the problem is that it is too big. I don't know how big my clan is. There is core group of guys that get together on Wednesdays to play. If you make it, great, if not, no big deal. We all have lives. I know how busy kids and their functions can be. I teach in a high school that just started a band program. They are doing something constantly. I am sure as big as your daughters school is, it is even worse. That is life. We game to have fun. It shouldn't be a job. I think people forget that sometimes. I don't think if I had been kicked, I would worry too much.

Just the fact that you had to take the time to post this makes me sad about clans.

I'm the active member that lives in Pittsburgh and didn't make it to the lan.First of all lets not forget that Azure did all kinds of preperations for the lan locally and bore the brunt of the bs for the scheduling conflict with the site's lan. This has been a favorite point of ridicule from these guys for a while now, so again I'll set the record straight. My wife had been home from her open heart surgery for 2 whole months before the lan. After being out of work without disability or a steady paycheck in a single income household. Sorry, unlike some of you I don't have credit cards or the disposable income to cross the country let alone the parkway without saving for it beforehand. Gee, I wonder where the money I saved to go to the lan went? Also if you read my blog you'd know that at the same time both my kids were being shuffled from the cardiolgist to the geneticists,orthopidists etc for what was suspected and eventually confirmed to be Marfan syndrome. Not to mention the fact that I have health problems of my own. Damn, I'm such an asshole for not attending!
