What is going on after the "Great Abysmal Summer,"

Hello Sheeple!

Most of you know that summer hit our clan kind of hard, and we are back to rebuilding our clan.  Many changes have occurred, specifically:

• Luna had to leave because she's homeschooling her kiddos and she couldn't juggle everything, so she left the clan to me and my co-leader, Raven.
• Our numbers are down.  We have eliminated most of the inactive players, so who we have is who we have.  This is a good thing because this shows us our true clan strength.
• Several of our leadership programs broke down over the summer due to all the inactivity, so we need to relaunch the mentorship program as we bring more people into our clan.

This all might seem kind of depressing, but even the strongest clans go through periods of weakness and strength.  It's a process of separating the wheat from the grass.

This is what we need you guys to do:

• CLAN CHAT: This can not be overemphasized.  This is, believe it or not, the foundation of a good clan.  We are going to start requiring people to speak up (at least say hi) a minimum of once a week, in order to remain a member of the clan.  Clan chat is what builds up the relationships within the clan, and will help us exchange gear, experience, and other resources.
• Forge, forge, forge: We will be posting new "forging" goals for each level, which we will help each achieve.
• Build. Up. Your. City:  This may seem basic, but soon it will cost us gold and/or silver in order to war as a clan, so we are going to need everyone's cities to be producing as much silver as possible at all times.
• DOWNLOAD LINE:  We used to require Kik messenger, so we could communicate outside of the game with our clanmates, but (lets be honest!) Kik kind of sucks for group communication.  We will be asking everyone to download "LINE Messenger."  Once you do you will be added to a group chat for our clan.  It's much easier than Clan Chat, although we will continue to talk there as well.

I will continue to update this.  Please review our "rules and expectations" and our "mission statement."  Also, if you're a "veteran Sheep," we are going to assume you are able and (hopefully) willing to mentor a couple of the younger sheep as I'm going to seriously buckle down and start recruiting.  IF YOU DO NOT WISH TO BE A MENTOR just send me a PM and I'll make a note of that,  no hard feelings!

Our newfound goal is to be "butt-kickin' ready" to war by January 2, 2014.  It took Death (run by Blonde Goddess) almost 8 months to build her clan from scratch, we aren't starting from scratch so I'm hoping that we can be war ready on Jan 2.

Lets have some fun!  Please feel free to recruit anyone you feel might be a good addition to our clan.  Raven or I will be interviewing potential clan additions over the next few weeks and very actively recruiting, so lets get ready to have some fun!

Love ya'll,
