TL;DR: Lot of problems and drama happened, lots of people left. Instead of helping resolve the problem, I left it behind (**** move). Started clan with other members that left. Didn't like it so I stayed out of clans for a long time. Now I want to game with my old friends.
It all started with the release of BLOPS II. I was recruited and coached by XGC Pixel in the infancy of my XGC Career. I made two donations to XGC to become a Bronze, then Gold member. I recruited regularly and helped grow the Xiled Kings to a very large and successful group under the directions of XGC Sinister and XGC Funk.
Later on XGC Pixel was appointed General of the clan. Pixel was a great general, but a stroke of bad luck and bad timing granted him a large dose of drama. For a long time, I helped simmer down members that were frustrated with Pixel and XGC in general (they really were angry for no reason, just acting like children) but then an abrupt move across the country after my wedding took me off XBL for 2 weeks. Upon coming back I learned that more than half of the clan was leaving and most of them were the ones I played with the most. I encouraged them to consider what they were doing but in the end, do what they felt was best for them (didn't want any sour grapes left behind in XGC). They all left and promptly came back to form bloodshed.
In midst of this bloody mess, while I was still offline, a member by the name of XGC Model would accuse me of being the leader of the "new clan" everyone was leaving for. This slander would land me in a party chat with leadership including 007 and XGC SInIST3R XD. I was cleared of the accusations but left with a bad taste in my mouth since the jab below the waste was uncalled for.
In the coming days I found out that a former member marked DNR was recruited back into the clan by XGC Model (unbeknownst to Model). I had a chat with this member to figure out why he was doing this and to talk him out of it with little drama. This exploded in my face as Model joined the party uninvited and a feud ignited about his recruiting of former XGC Links. Since it was my party, I called him a **** and kicked him out of the chat.
XGC Model would bring up the feud with 007. 007, who probably deals with this scenario more than he would wish upon his worst enemies, made an attempt to quell it by simply saying we were acting like babies. I tried to defend myself but to no avail as I became childish and started to make counter accusations (true as they may be, I should not have done it in that context) to 007 about Models recruitment of a DNR. To no avail, i requested a transfer from XGC SInIST3R XD's section because I was not happy and wanted to avoid Model at all costs. I feel that I owe XGC SInIST3R XD and XGC Pixel a sincere apology for this and I hope they see, if nothing else, this statement that I am sorry.
XGC Coldfire was a cold harsh environment for me. They were all very comfortable with each other and not as active as the last clan, especially in recruiting. I didn't feel like anyone reached out to me there I was not motivated to reach out to anyone there. According to a Lieutenant whom I don't remember the gamertag of, my former clan members started asking him and other leadership in coldfire if they could transfer over. They were not keen on this and nor was I. Again, I landed in a conversation with 007 about this but this time, I had had it. I left the clan behind and searched for something new.
In the next month or so, I would become a member of a clan with another friend who had already left XGC. This clan was made up of members of XGC who had left at one point or another.
I feel like I need to clarify here:
I NEVER POACHED XGC OR ANY OTHER CLAN. I was never accused of such but with the honor code embedded in my gaming ethics, I know this is important to my reader. I went inactive for a long time following the joining of that group and played only a couple of times a month (occasionally with XGC REBAR, who has remained my friend).
I understand that there is a possibility that my application will be denied and I will be no sour grape about it. I truly enjoyed my time in XGC before my last days and really want XGC SInIST3R XD and XGC Pixel to hear my sincere apology for any hurt feelings. It was a post I saw in grass is greener by Pixel that inspired me to re-apply in the first place.
Thank you for your consideration.
