2012 was a great year (arguably) - but why is this? Why was 2013 such a boring and horrible year?
Why was 2012 > 2013?
The answer is simple, my friends.
RO-Wars.
There were not one, but TWO RO-Wars in 2012 - the Axis vs Allies, and the GSC vs UN. Although the Axis vs Allies isn't one of the most famous RO-Wars, it was still classified as one. The GSC vs UN RO-War was the one RO-War that I myself have been able to participate in, and it was fun as hell. We *WERE* close to a RO-War in 2013, in July with the TGI-VAK mess brewing. WIJ, NFU, FC, RFST[5], UAF, and even CL if I am correct, agreed to help TGI in their fight against VAK and - Unity -, which was filled with about 20 or so clans, most of them being horrid (besides civil and USF).
The anticipation was growing for VAK to open their base, and all hell be unleashed in a continuous pixelated bloodbath.
Then it was announced that TGI and VAK, the two main competitors, would have a 1v1 war. Even though I was a Commandant during the time, the memories of what happened are Hazy. I do not even recall those below Lord getting a say in the vote to make it a mono e mono war. If I am recalling this correctly, TGI offered all of their allies vs VAK, but VAK declined such a silly offer, and threw it off the table. They said a 1v1, or Unity vs CoS.
I believe TGI didn't want their war with VAK to be known as the 'CoS vs Unity' war, but a TGI vs VAK war. Selfish, yet respectable. They wanted a chance to fight VAK, not fighting the clans with 10-20 members an event, with free model forts, for god's sake, no!
So they agreed to make it a 1v1 war, and have the CoS vs Unity war separate.
Months into the war, Unity started to fall. One by one, the clans left. Crystal Nation apparently helped some of the members make their decisions to leave the alliance that was being destroyed by UAF and their mediocre activity.
Could 2013 could have been a great year, if TGI didn't agree to this term that didn't offer the clan world the excitement of a RO-War it needed?
Who knows, but my money is on 'Yes.' Think of it, 2013 would've been classified as one of the best years EVER if that decision wasn't made, it would've by far been the BIGGEST RO-War in the history of clans, and 2013 would've been recalled for that glorious time of flames, drama, and massive activity.
But, this is the past. What about 2014?
Will the clan world just continue to deteriorate, while the silenced voices of people who wish to help it, are continued to be cast out though the one-word clans and RCL?
Or will someone be just what the clan world needs, and start another RO-War? Hell, it could even be the best one yet if someone did it right.
tl;dr: RO-War 2014. Make it happen. No 'sword RO-wars,' like the one last year. Let's face it guys, who in their right mind would think something solely based on swords would be considered a RO-War? There are plenty of clans capable enough of starting something that could change the clan world forever, with their tremendous amount of strength. Take VAK and WIJ for example (duke it out with one another already you pansies). RO-Wars are the things that always unite the clan world and make it fun, so why doesn't someone start already, and make 2014 a year to be remembered? |

| I like how you acknowledge that this is a pixelated game, but then you say memories of a virtual event within a virtual reality are "hazy". |

@Sython
i dont know man
i guess RAT tech has been good but no one wants to start a war with rat seeing as rat will always win
borealis = impossible to raid celeste = impossible to raid unless it's like 40 vs 10 any other rat base sucks
so eh...
even though RAT is great you really need to make fair bases, dont you guys notice that EVEN VS has made a pretty fair base now?

Oh trust me the next fort will be fair. It's in development, but a little problem for you.
See there is unfair forts and unfair fair forts.
Unfair forts are always fun because it gives a challenge. Celeste 2 is pretty fair and you can easily stack the gates. |

"stack the gates"
i can take on averagely 5 rats if all of us have ACCURATE guns and all as good
so eh
if 5 skilled people are raiding vs 20 rat, we'd be able to officially win if it was solo-raidable
seriously
make a fair fort
where spawns are pretty equal (a bit spawn advantage is ok, but not rat spawn in the base) rat has no better weapons rat has no group door (wtf?, unless this was removed) and you're able to get into the fort if you solo raid, and BOTH RAT AND RAIDERS need to get in by the same way

"where spawns are pretty equal (a bit spawn advantage is ok, but not rat spawn in the base)"
We Don't spawn in the base -_- "rat has no better weapons" We all have the same weps.
"rat has no group door (wtf?, unless this was removed)" Gamepass
"and you're able to get into the fort if you solo raid, and BOTH RAT AND RAIDERS need to get in by the same way"
Stacking the fort is pretty easy. 4 raiders managed to do it yesterday. |

I can't be bothered anymore of this discussion.
We make forts fair unlike TGI, WIJ or VAK.
Deal with it. |

"Unlike WIJ, TGI and VAK" VAK yes.. TGI yes.. but WIJ.. HELL NO! If you can't fight with wARC and keep the bomb for 3 minutes then it's your problem, not that the fort is unfair. |
