The other topic I wanted to discuss is self initiative. I've been made aware by quite a few people that it seems as if unless certain people are online, others will decline the opportunity to play with fellow clan mates and that is NOT the kind of community I want to build here. I've led clans before and world recognized clans at that in other genres of games, but one thing always holds true in the world of competitive online gaming and its this; If you are not happy or willing to play with team mates or clan memebers for the simple reason that one or two players aren't online to play with that the time, We. Will. Not. Succeed. Period. It takes more than a small handful of people, while I appreciate their efforts, to build a solid community and have a sense of not only pride in the team, but friendship. We all want to play this game to have a good time. We all want to play this game to win. But more importantly is, we play this game because we enjoy the people we surround ourselves with and if you aren't enjoying those that are around you, you're going to turn this game into a chore and thats not why I play games, personally. We want to have fun and we won't have fun losing. We won't have fun if we're surrounded by those whose company you do not enjoy. We are a new team and a budding clan that has a lot of potential. This game is long from being brand new. Theres teams who have years of experience in DotA from the WCIII mod but one thing is inarguable. Defense of the Ancients is recieving more and more attention on an international scale and if we want to get ourselves into the game, we need to do it soon. There will be a point in which teams will be created and fall apart faster than you can even imagine, I saw it in other games I've led clans in. We WILL fall behind if we aren't careful and while possible, it will be an additional mountain to climb if we wait. I say we grab the bull by its horns and get this done. I'm surprised and proud of what this group has already become after such a short time and how excited people are to be here and how proudly they wear the =(eeG)= tag. Lets give that tag a reputation alright? Lets show these teams and these tournaments what eeG means and lets make ourselves known out there. We have a lot of incredible talent in this group and that doesn't just go for those listed in the core tournament team. This goes for every single person who is a part of this group and everyone whose played games with me and expressed an interest. So here is what I want from every single person. I need, a post on here with what roles AND what heroes you're most comfortable with. I need to know you're here for good and we're dedicated on getting this stuff handled. I'd like to thank everyone for the help and the dedication shown to me by so many indviduals who want to see this team succeed. That is one thing I can say that has never before been done in a clan I've led before. I see players who want this just as bad as I do and are more than willing to do what needs to be done. Everyone has a say. If theres something that can be done, go ahead and tell me what I can do to make this work out. But if you want me to make changes and try and make things pleasant for everyone, I need my requests met as well. Again, I need a list of your prefered roles AND the heroes you're most comfortable with.

With love and from yours truly, game on and lets kick some ass
