Hello, I'm Tenal - Colonel of the Urban Assault Forces, if you were unaware. I've been in and out of UAF (but always in the loop of what's been going on) and I have seen more bad things than good happening to UAF at around the end of Sellethore/Infinitive's leadership on the clan.
I was in the Urban Assault Forces many times - keeping quiet during Sellethore's leadership, was going to create guns for Benblue9 until my massive disapproval of his leadership (which I will explain imminently), created a fort for DiscoHeaven (whose leadership I opposed immensely afterwards), leaked that very fort during Bbal's leadership, been around during Shadowsword's leadership but not too much due to people's hostilities towards me (for obvious reasons). Now, I'm back in UAF not only as a NFU diplomat but also as a high rank, and as someone who have observed the UAF throughout its lifetime and with its ups and downs, I'm going to have one final attempt at lending a helping hand with repairing this group.
Currently, our great clan has been going through a lot. Since the leadership change, we had a war with WIJ which remains to be ambiguous today, one of our scripters leaving the group out of rage from a demotion, and RAA constantly crushing us. Now, as much as I love the RAA very much as one of their allied clan leaders and help them with scripting their 'Coventry' fort, I'm also disapproving of being stomped on repeatedly by them. We need to advance.
A lot of people ask me why "I am so obsessed with Sellethore" which happens to be a pretty dumb question when you realize that his leadership is what grew the clan into a superpower in the very first place, yet his name remains to be forgotten by a very worrisome portion of the members among it. This will offend a lot of people, especially those who were close with him, but here goes: Benblue9 was probably one of the worst leaders UAF has ever had, creating problems that continues to plague the clan today. I already know a lot of people who would get offended over what I said, but hear me out.
Prior to BB9, the group had a unique style with its retro uniforms and its simple but ridiculously fun raidable forts. It was close to surpassing FEAR in numbers while being picky when it came to grammar, combat skill, etc.. This is the clan that crushed RAT due to their war (I'm the NFU leader who admits this - I am opposite of biased). This is the clan that posed a threat to FEAR.
However, fast forward to now, there are Phoenix Technologies developers who have no concordance as to what the building style of UAF is nor the setting (city-type urban? Kopervich-type rural?). This group diminished from the first page of groups, to the second, and then to the third (which made me start a little UAF rebellion that attracted a surprising amount of support), and now to the fourth page of groups (maybe the fifth by now; too disappointed to check).
Perhaps I'm making this thread a bit too early and maybe I need to negotiate with other high ranks about this beforehand, but I already know that I have the support of not only Sellethore (the founder of our great clan) but also quite a few of the current high ranks. However, I need your support. The "people's clan" mentality never belonged in UAF and only holds me back from proposing ideas that although look unappealing to you, will turn out looking amazing but requires time.
Again - I'm looking at the era that truly brought us to relevance and much higher than our current state, and I suggest you guys do the same. By doing so, we're going to have to make a really tough decision on whose vision for the clan we need to follow - Benblue9's or Sellethore's. Although I'm busy leading my clan and being high ranks in other clans as well, I'm going to do my best serving the UAF and demonstrating what I think UAF should be like, and what I think you should think as well. But I'm going to brainstorm on plans as to how we can rise back up in not only skill but in popularity, relevance, prestige, and whatnot.
There - these are my ramblings. Chances are you disagree with SOMETHING in this post - but it's a good idea to view both sides of the story. General MouldyNukeBombAbs who was also around during the golden days of UAF during Sellethore is warning me not to go so outspoken regarding Sellethore-era UAF but I feel like my perspective needs to be publicized as a lot of people, maybe yourself included, misunderstand my points.
Thanks for reading :p - Colonel Tenal |

Don't you make a thread every year asking to go back to Infinitive?
It's starting to get really old. Why doesn't UAF just exile you for treason? |

That was a bit... touchy.
I presume there's going to be an argument now.

I disagree with all of this post except for the fact that we need the original Infinitive-era building styles back.
UAF isn't the Peoples' clan nor Infinitive's clan anymore. We should strive to be something new, not something of the past. |

@willing New is always good. I'm just looking back at what has made this clan so successful in the first place.
Let's get what got us successful, gather it all up, and adapt. |

I agree with Willing here. |

Also tenal, we know infinitive made this clan what it is today but that was then and this is now. Times have changed in clans and if a clan was lead by infinitive in this day and time, it would not strive.

@deck As much as I appreciate your input, I would like some more explanation on your decision other than the perception that majority votes prevail. In fact, I think the majority vote system is the biggest flaw of the "people's clan" system.
I laid out my input, but I actually want you to digress a bit and actually elaborate on the reasoning behind your decision making. |

@decknut Haze Corporation is a clan that Sellethore currently leads. >3000 members up from 1000 members a month ago >200k+ R$ for investments
Sellethore... is a great leader. I respect him as a good friend and as a strong leader. |

| The problem with your changes unappealing or not is, the likelyhood you leave before UAF can reap any benefits. |

Yeah, 200k+.
Money doesn't make a clan good though, I haven't seen Haze do anything extraordinary so I fail to notice why we should still follow infinitives ways.
