About BOSSBrigade
BOSS started in the fall of 2003 with three leaders, Phatty, Dannik and Cent.
Our first members were Shadow and Noob2k. Dannik, Cent and I had
been members of another clan {SoBs},and both shadow and Noob2k were
regulars. I first met dannik about 4 yrs ago in the SoBs community and server.
I was asked to join SoBs and was their sixth or seventh member.
I sponsored and befriended dannik, and we developed a close bond.
Soon after his brother Cent was asked to join. Followed by teddy
(enforcer) Teddy had worked with me for several years and was a
close friend. I had devoted alot of time to the clan, finding us
a new temp home (from the clan SP - sleepless psychos) when the
original server died. I played other servers while the temp server was up. To be truthful,
{SoBs} nearly died as we had at one point no server, and no answers
to finding one. Its funny, members love the community, but won't
come up with $$ to help support it. I ran their meetings and was
considered a leader along with founders Bagger, Libre, and Flo.
Rounding out the ring was Felix, a great guy. The temp server gave me a bad ping, so i frequently played on other
servers, and enjoyed RAH . This server had a lot of members, but
no community, they communicated by forum posts like this one....a
concept we at SoBs werent using at the time. I befriended the leader
and sponsor of RAH (the famous GORD) and he was thinking of shutting
down their server. I asked and was offered one of the RAH servers for SoBS and gladly
accepted the free gift! Libre and I worked out the details. RAH
did end up blowing apart, and several members left to come to SoBs
including Budda, chicken, and several others. Soon after Bagger
opened a datacenter and SoBs had a new home. Chicken was a student
at Michigan State University (BLAME MSU!!!), and had several others
at his school involved in cs, amoung them nanner, uber, and others.
Bad blood soon came to SoBs. I was going through a rough time in my personal life and drew back
from SoBS for several months. When I returned, there was a much
different atmosphere in the community. Chicken and his buddies had
brought a caustic, negative atitude, that gave absolutely no respect
to senior members. I soon grew tired of even being in the server
with chicken. He constantly abused his admin, and banned anyone
who even sneezed at him. (this is where we get I AM GAY!! BLAME
MSU!!). Bagger was considering shutting down the cs server due to lack
of $$ support, so I teddy and I had a conversation about starting
a new SoBs server for cs, one that we supported with $$ and that
wouldnt have chicken and his MSU buddies abusing. Somehow that whole
concept got turned around and attitudes came into play. I knew I
had to leave SoBs, and basically pissed Libre off till he banned
me from the clan. By then the leaders were pretty much done with
running the clan and they chose Matic to run the clans day to day
operations. Matic decided that I was too influential and a danger to the SoBs
community, so he banned me. The clan I had a great amount of time
invested in, and had kept on the map was off in their new direction.
Teddy got cold feet, and was caught in the middle of this whole
mess, I decided to go another route with a whole new clan. I had
discussions with several SoBs, many of whom wanted to be part of
both communities. Dannik and Cent decided to leave SoBS and start the new clan with
me, Dannik even named the clan BOSS. We havent been happier. Several
regs from SOBs and members wanted to come with us, which pissed
off the leadership of SoBs. They decided to ban anyone who showed
an interest in, or affiliation with BOSS. Perhaps they will someday lose the anger they apparently still
carry, and wish that friends forced to choose between our two communities
will be allowed to participate here with BOSS. We welcome all people
to our community, SoBS or other, and hope that some day they will
again welcome us back into their community. Thx to all of our regulars and members for your support, without you we have no community. Phatty
