Fleetfox is now our main recruiter. He will do first contact, questions for the possible recruits, describing what Fenris would expect of members and go together with the recruits through all the communication tools we use.
Every Fenris member can be part of recruiting new clan members, when you like people and got to know them and in genreal have a good feeling about them, give their names to FleetFox. This is formost about people you "like", which you can imagine to have around regularly, so do not pay attention to player skill but focus on personality when you give us those names. Playerskill can be trained, personality .. wtf we are not their fucking parents
We have now 23 members, about 15 very actively playing. I see between 3 and 5 lads everyday on teamspeak regularly and on our Sudnay Chillout Evening upto 10. I will invest more time now to administrate our forum, so we can get some voting onto several topics done.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
I understand Fenris(as i did with Wolves) always as an international clan. Where people from different backgrounds and different nationalities can exchange experiences and see the world through different eyes, out of different points of views.
So Fenris will not any longer be 'EU only', but NA, SA, Asia, Africa, downunder(thats australia right
? ) ... from everywhere you are welcome to join in, creating a parallel Fenris clan and representing your continent. With the NA community being the second bigggest in terms of playerbase with own servers, i first thought i would offer only new NA members to build up an autark clan, where the current Fenris is providing the Theme and communication platforms. That offer is not limited to NA only though. While we all can share the same cRPG clan banner and therefor the theme, i am not 100% sure this would be a good idear also within strategus. Therefor the interactions between EU/NA Strategus Fenris Faction would be very limited and restricted for at least strategus 5.0, till we may have seen how all this would play out.
That way diplomatic fall outs wont nessarily include all parts of Fenris. EU Fenris will stay neutral towards NA factions, NA Fenris will stay neutral towards EU factions. Helping each other with roster is ok, making trade together is ok, but no armies shall cross to invade EU or NA factions.
The rules of Fenris waht is posted here in the first post and on our forum will apply for all Fenris. So if somewhere else on the world is soemone who feels the urge to hunt and devour, who wants to become part of Wolves of Fenris, contact me and we can discuss how to approach this together.
Besides all the before i would like to find is an older player, between say 30 and 40 who then would take charge of the NA Fenris part, same for any other fenris group from any other continent. He or she could act complettly autonomisly ... well within the parameters set through our rules, but not with always me looking over the shoulder, but doing their own thing, sure if those would have questions i would answer, but you would be the leaders of those packs of Fenris not me.
All this is not a new thought, i had tried it before in strat 3.0, but with me back then also the leader of the NA section then, well that didnt work out^^(with Wolves and Hyenas i had roughly 140 members which with my past approach leaning towards absolute authority and the high work load it all ended up in a mental cluster fuck). I like that Fallen has somehow managed to get this integrated into their clan, not always perfectly i imagine, but still the approach i always found to be nice, the more different people the better. Aslong we accept that to be a good thing.
