The End of an Era

[safariguy5]

Well, I've tried my best to hold together O&H. After weathering the FOED split, I really felt we had a chance, but with Rocketry getting banned, there was nothing to rally around anymore. We've honored the clan wars that were ongoing, and I felt we've kept our word on any and all prior engagements (CLA, Conqueror's Cup, etc.) and there's really nothing left for us to do. I've had a great time with these outlaws of mine, and definitely learned a lot about CC. Every member of O&H, past and present will always be a friend of mine. We've had our laughs, our triumphs, our failures, and yet, we always believed in each other and ourselves.

As for the future, I'm sure every member of O&H can find another clan if they want. As for myself, I'm open to offers as well. I'd like the mods to move the O&H recruitment and challenge thread to the archives as well as the AoD challenge that never really got off the ground after Rocket's leaving. With love for our friends, respect for our enemies, O&H is finished.

Im sorry that it had to end for you like this, you guys truly were one of the pioneers of the unknowns rising to the top.

no more name changes

always sorry to hear when a clan fails, all former Outlaws are more than welcome in the Grim Reapers recruitment thread

Damn, this is a shame to see happen. Really sorry for things to come to an apex like this. Though we were unorganized and reeling, similarly to your FOED split, your victory over LoW was certainly something to be proud of, and it's a shame to see that very clan fall apart in the end.

Good luck in future endeavors, and I'm sure you guys will spread around to strengthen clans as a whole.

Not sure what you mean by the AOD challenge never got off the ground. We were just about to start set 4 of 6.

People in O&H really weren't into it, Rocket leaving really caused the communication to break down.

[Master Fenrir]

That really sucks to hear. All of you that I played with were great teammates and I sincerely wish you all the best of luck in finding new clans, if that's your wish. If not, may you roll endless 6's.

[Dako]

Awwww. Best of luck. Come join some other clans. And roll all 6's.

The One Man Clan is still accepting applications...

[saraith]

This is the part where I break my usual silence and say something profound...

Well, I don't really have any words. I joined the clan because I had found within it a bunch of kindred spirits. I am an Outlaw (I would consider myself a Highwayman, actually ) at heart. In the clan, I discovered a number of people who stood on the fringes, much like myself. This is still true today, except now, the all that are left are the people on the fringes of the fringe.

There's no cohesion anymore. My hat is off to safari, though, he certainly tried. Our choice to elect him leader was a good one, and he did his best to keep it together in a time of great sorrow for many of us, myself included.

but with Rocketry getting banned, there was nothing to rally around anymore.

There's a mouthful right there. He was the reason that I didn't split with the split. But at the same time, most of the people that I did talk to (when I talked at all) did split with the split. And some split afterword.

To be honest, I really did see this coming. I was in a clan once before, that lost it's oomph. It's leader became dissatisfied with the lack of order and stepped down. I assumed the role, and tried to get things going (admittedly not having a clue what I was doing) and it sunk. I started to feel the same as then a few weeks ago, when Rocketry left us.

For the record, I will not be actively searching for a new home. That said, though, I won't dismiss an invitation.

To all Outlaws & Highwaymen, past and present: One last round at the campfire from me, (being careful, of course to stay out of L M S's Special reserve.)

** When the bottle is done, and we've all had our laughs at "Fenrir and LMS's Secret Strategies", congratulated ourselves and each other from the "Hall of Braggarts," and of course "Whiskey Around the Campfire," saraith sits alone staring at the fire, the gathering place for all Outlaws and Highwaymen. Fighting back tears of regret and fond remembrance, he takes up the water bucket and douses the fire, and then all is dark. **

[L M S]

This makes old L M S a little sad to read. Without O&H I believe I would have left CC a long time ago...what a great bunch of Outlaws.
I have been saving a bottle or two for a special occasion and I think this may be the time to toast ourselves.

To those that stayed, I offer my highest praises. To those that left, I offer my sincerest loyalty.

We have actives, just not enough. Also, the fire and passion has gone out of the clan I feel. Nothing really that we can do about that.
