I've got something important to say. I've all sent you an email but just in case you didn't receive it or you haven't read it then you can read the message here. Apologies for it being so long!
----------------------------------------------------------------
Guys, this really is urgent. Over the last year I have been an embarrassment to this clan and I feel that I have not performed my duties correctly as joint-leader of the clan. Admittedly, the clan has never been so inactive in its lifetime and I take responsibility for this for a number of reasons. AvP2 is an aging game and I was fooling myself to think that we could continue in this game. I did see this coming but I didn't act quick enough and for the last number of months I've felt discouraged to play AvP2 knowing how much of a failure I have been in this clan. I have constantly ran away from the problem and not confronted it, which has resulted in the clan being in the situation it is today. I have let down both the clan, myself but most importantly the clan members. This great clan should not be in the situation it is now, stuttering along in an aging game that is barely in existance any longer. I have loved AvP2 more than any other game I have played before because it introduced me to all of you guys but we do need change and urgently before I lose any tiny piece of hope that this clan can become great again. I don't want sympathy from this and people saying "Its not your fault" because it was my fault because I promised much but failed to deliver. I clinched onto the hope we could continue in the game but it obviously isn't possible.
I do not plan on the clan completely abandoning AvP2 because its where we started off and I for one still love it, but I want to see the clan move into a new direction, into a new game that we all enjoy where we can continue on into. It might not be possible for us all to agree on one game but if you are willing to try then I will try my hardest at it like anything I've ever done before. If you guys are up for a new challenge of finding a new game that we all look the like of then lets go for it! I don't feel that I can do it all by myself, which is why I am asking everyone for help in this. I'll beg if I have to! I know we are all busy now, including myself, but I feel that we can really make a go of this if we unite together even more than we have done in the past and if we put some effort into it. I've felt ashamed of myself for not doing this a long long time ago and I had planned to send this email to you all a week ago but I've been worried that it won't work out and I've been putting it off again and again! I want to apologise to you all for my bad leadership and I hope to make it up to you all by leading us into a new challenge if you are all up for it.
If you are then I would like to propose to change the clan around a bit - Not anything major, but to give you guys more of a serious and higher role in the clan to make sure that I don't make these mistakes again. I would like to give Garland, Hell and SH a chance to take more of a lead in the clan in the future alongside myself and Snake so that we always work as a team and we can push this clan forward again (DB, your obviously away at the minute which is why I didn't include you right now). I cannot thank you guys enough for your commitment to this clan over the years, which makes my bad leadership even more disgraceful. Without you, we wouldn't of had the great times that we have had and the clan would never have existed. This is all the more reason for us to go into a new game if agreed and more good times can continue. I have never lost the passion for this clan, but I have shown weaknesses as a leader on a number of occasions when change is needed. You guys mean a lot to me (NOT IN A GAY WAY ) and it cannot end like it is now and I am determined to redeem myself and to have an exciting future ahead of us. It cannot happen without you all though, which is why I am asking for your help in it. I know we are busy, but any little help in helping this clan become strong again and move into a new game would be greatly appreciated. I cannot thank Snake enough for all that he has provided for the clan and for continuing to do so and for letting all of the good times happen and being such a great fella. Garland, I'm sorry for not listening to you earlier about the clan situation and I hope you will have a great role in the clan in the future and thank you for all of your dedication over the years and the good times. I will now seriously spend a lot of time looking into your suggestions for new games and I have a bit more time off now anyway. Hell and SH, thank you for providing the laughs and all of your commitment to the clan and I can't say how greatful I am. DB, thank you for everything and being such a funny and bright person who can always make me smile! (Like all of you!) God, I hope this doesn't sound like a goodbye or anything because its not. I just want to apologise for letting you guys down and I want everyone here to be part of the future still. I hope that you all still want to be and I don't know whether this will help or not but should we agree on a new game then I want to financially back us within the next 9 months (might sound awhile) for whatever is needed, whether that be a server or anything. I've been scared of not being able to achieve the good old times again and that is why I have been putting this email off.
Well, the email is nearly finished lol. I'm sorry for it being so long but I just wanted to say how I feel and how bad I have let this clan down. But also how much I hope we can pick up and move into a new era of the clan, but only by your help. I hope you are all well at the moment and that in a year's time we can be active again in whatever game we're playing and we're happy. JESUS, I've written more here than in a school essay lol!
Cheers guys and sorry once again,
