I'm not going to name names, but I find it unethical that some people on here told members of the clan I lead that it was officially merging with another clan (both in the clan's chat room and on this Neogaf thread), spurring more than 20 members to leave.
There was no official merger. It was a lie.
Shame on you guys. No class. I didn't know Neogaf clans was going to be like Game of Thrones politics.
Nevertheless, we are going to rebuild and rise again.
Hopefully without this kind of political back-stabbing behavior in the future.
Hi scott(?),
I hope you got a chance to read all of the chat logs that led up to the decision to look for merger.
I personally felt frustrated with the steadily sinking donation-numbers and the fact that multiple card-requests of mine did go unfulfilled.
Because the "clash royale"-community on gaf is shrinking, it did seem obvious to me, that we would not be able to fill the clan back up with new gaffers.
The more active gaf-clans managed to counteract that downward-spiral by consolidating their numbers.
When I asked in clan chat how the others felt about the situation, everyone of the active members in chat agreed that a new merged clan was preferable to slow death we had been experiencing over that past month.
So I made a post here in the OT to ask which clans felt they were in a similar situation.
broz0rs/vinnayyy!, the leader of Neogaf (#Y8CGRR), was very enthusiastic about a merger.
And the fact that we were the two most active of the smaller gaf clans (with 24 and 25 members donating over the past week) made it seem like a ideal match to us.
In the past 4 months I got attached to many of our clan members, but I can not remember ever having any interactions with you or firstadopter.
You guys did not seem to be particular active ingame, the clan chat, or the wider "gaf clash royale"-community.
I assure you, we did not intend to "backstab" you, or try to wrestle any kind of "political" power from you.
We weren't happy with the current situation and we did not want to leave anyone behind. So we made it very clear where we were going and how one could join us.
We still have slots reserved in the new clan for you and and the other 5 guys who had been active in the past week, if you want to join us.
If you think that your clan still has a future as a gaf-only clan, I will gladly make a post in our clan chat.
Telling everyone who made the switch, that you do plan to continue the old clan. And that you will take everyone back, who felt he was deceived into thinking the old clan was no longer viable and would have rather stayed.
If you decide to not follow us to the new clan, I wish you all the best. And I hope you prove us wrong and turn the clan around, but I personally am very happy with our situation in the new clan.
thyy
