I've already agreed with you on that point! The players also have to be commited to doing their part or it wouldn't work.

while credit must be given, blame must also
some clan leaders will give away the store

Some Clan Leaders should not be Clan Leaders, it is just that simple.

Look how it has worked out for you for example. It takes a lot of different qualities to be a Clan Leader.

Yes. We saw that in 2016. 😛

I was not cut out to be a clan leader even though I was successful
I always had this urge to set my members free an did so a number of times
recruiting is such a bitch
time consuming and a kiss ass sort of thing
My clan Larry is free to pillage and plunder
but I have no desire to issue any challenges for now

I think you were probably most successful if you want to use that word when you were a one man Clan.

Why have a Clan if you are not going to play? Just so you have a Vote if something has to be Voted among the REAL Clan Leaders? Please help me understand what you think you are accomplishing?

well the most enjoyable thing about being a clan of one is because it bothers the likes of you
another plus is that I can choose who I play and I get to vote
heaven forbid if you were a leader and got to vote

you ask why have a clan if I'm not going to play
I don't know how you can say that
I've completed more challenges over the past 4 years than any other clan so obviously I play and play a lot

If I wanted a vote I could make a one man clan like you do, but would feel phoney, don't you feel phoney in a one man clan. Kind of contradicts the meaning of a clan doesn't it?

I see so you are jealous you haven't been able to finish on top with being a one man clan....LOL...You've done more than that in the past 4 years but we don't need to go there!!! 😉

I'm just devastated that I could not finish on top and being a one man clan is the essence of purity
it's mano e mano
far from phoney

@padger

Perhaps you should stay in bed. The chances are great that the sky will fall down upon your pointed head.

For those of you who are convinced that I am....

1) The devil reincarnated;
2) An empowered cheat;
3) A nefarious scoundrel;
4) A demonic wizard;
5) A brilliant tactician;
6) A total ass

I am stepping down as clan leader of Metallica.
Enjoy the celebration.
Now, let's see how well you do, since all the blame for your shortcomings has been on me.

Enjoy!!

@shortcircuit Congratulations Fred! I worked my butt off, and worked really hard putting together what I think is a fantastic group of people and chess players. They are really good. With all the challenges I put out, I think we finished with 72 points. lol But we did make the first page.


I wish I had half your points!!! CONGRATULATIONS as I know how much work it takes to what you and the top clans do. I have to figure out what I am doing wrong. Great Job and Happy New Year to you and your family.


Sincerely,

Michael

@shortcircuit Why would you step down from something you love? People are going to talk crap no matter what. Enjoy your win and forget the rest. You won, that is all that matters. Don't give in.

I've heard thru the grapevine that the clan will be in good hands.
