Hmmm, it seems like a new, but familiar, era has arrived. Only 2 weeks ago, the third regular season of CAL was ending on a pretty desapointing note for our team. I've realised at the same time that my objectives for this seasons had been right. Playing with the big boys when you only got kids surrounding you that are not ready and that have no will can't give any satisfating results. Let's clearify one thing, of all kids who were playing, one got my respect and it's none other than Unreal. And we're here today, at the beginning of a new month, with new objectives of a complete other level. The resume is quite simple. 1 time only, we've done strategies, which was during the 1st week and following this I was alone with some help from Unreal. Our record is 1-6, 1-2, which means 1 victory, 6 loss, 1 win by forfeit and 2 loss by forfeit. It's pretty week, but coming from a team that had just been reformed, and that had in general not really any will, we couldn't expect better.
If that incident had not happenned back in January, the team could have gone far and that's what I'm worth. Of all my life, I've never been part of the losers this way and the time to get back to the superior level has arrived. Since two weeks, I'm in «Rebuilt of a elite Wolfpack» mode and I didn't expect to get results so quickly. To make a short resume of February, Sonic and Walkay joined of the 18th of that month and many members were quite inactive. So I've asked myself the question; why recrute and keep with us useless players? Since I got a great heart, I still gave a chance to everyone to make their proofs et during that time I was starting to rebuild the team.
At the beginning of march, during my spring break week, I've entered a server where Equinox and his friend DarkX were playing. I simply ask Equinox how is team is going; having in head the idea to propose him to join us since I knew him from the days he was called Ironik in team KTF and I always wanted to have this player in our team knowing his skill. Surprisingly, he was the one offering me his services for our team. No need to make him pass tests, I alreayd knew his value as player. After talking to him that night, I've been greatly surpised to meet someone who is so much like me with as much objectives and leadership. On March 12th 2007, the Wolfpack had gain back all his chances to get to a better status with the acquisition of Equinox. You know what happenned following this. The next monday, we had a meeting during which I've put the door wide open to lvea for Faith, Sonic and N1xon. They've finally crossed it the next sunday. During the same week, I've talked with ShaDen to try to convince him to come back in the team; he had travelled his part of the road on the way back to the team and he was ready to come back just after repearing his computer. Finally, Infinity started started to play over with us and often enough to make him want to come back and it was only a formality before he becomes Wolfpack again. That said, the team was already greatly rebuilt and I think we'll go far. There's only one missing piece in this puzzle, but with or without him, I'd say «1st mission succeeded»!
Birthdays:::
Slayer, March 5th (20 years old)
Divine2KX, March 17th (18 years old)
DarKaTTaK, March 27th (20 years old)
Equinox, April 8th (17 years old)
The Roster:::
Sonic and Walkay joined the team on February 18th, but Sonic as well as faith and N1xon were kicked out of the team a few days ago. Equinox entred Wolfpack on March 12th. The return of ShaDen and Infinity occured on March 24th and 26th respectivly.
While waiting for the next CAL season, we'll keep playing TWL more seriously, we will start to make strategies again for our match 5 vs 5 SD. For that, groups of players are formed to designed the players who should be starters, the samething will be done for CAL. So, for 4 vs 4 TDM, the players are: Xander2KX, Nemesis, Maalox, Equinox. For 5 vs 5 SD: Xander2KX, ShaDen, Infinity, Unreal, Equinox.
In the same idea, a reorganisation of the ranks is needed. The ranks of Leader and Captains stay as well as the one of regular member. The Elites will be modified with the arrival of a new status, I'll explain. The Elites rank as we speak is not really about members beeing more skilled, but more about them having been dedicated long enough in this team. That's why this rank will be named from now on: CERTIFIED 4 LIFE. I wanted to come up with a different name than Hall of Fame which is what we see in everything else. For the elites rank, only 5 players will be part of this in each division or each games. So, here's the members in each categories:
Leader and Captains:::
Xander2KX, no captains yet.
Certified 4 Life:::
Dart, LeBoss002, Ranger4x4, Divine2KX, DarKaTTaK, GeNoCide, N3R0, Demon2kx, TraKer2x
CoD2 Elite Division:::
Xander2KX, ShaDen, Equinox
Regular Members:::
Nemesis, Maalox, Infinity, Unreal, S!LV3R, Walkay
At the last meeting, we've put the situation clear for some mmebers to finally kick them out of the team a week later. On a more happy note, I've present the mini-banner award of the Wolfpack member of the year for each years of the Wolfpack so far. 2002 DarKaTTaK, 2003 Divine2KX, 2004 TraKer2x, 2005 GeNoCide and finally 2006 ShaDen and CoLLecToR. It was only a short meeting to thank the members and to update our situation. 1 or 2 weeks from now, we'll have another meeting concerning the way we work and communicate in important and less important scrims.
I'm leaving you on a funy touch, giving you the list of stupids questions that I've asked Seth for his tryout with some of his answers. Some of the questions were made to laugh at him while others were to make him say who he was without thinking he was since he wanted to join Wolfpack under another identity without me knowing. But I double crossed him!
