I don't really believe that APN will continue in an effective way.
This thread is both to justify my opinion, and allow for you all to flame me however you want. It's about what I expect.
So, to start off, I've been here 4 years. I wasn't that amazing of a leader, but if nothing else I stayed with it. Yay or something. Not making this thread to point out how I did as leader.
I don't believe that the promises made by potential candidates have much of a weight. Half of them have been here for years, and really the only one I believe has significantly changed APN has been Dave, who hardly seems interested in getting APN. As well, if the candidates were honestly superior quality, they probably would have done so already. I had to effectively install Dave into owning a group, Treat never did anything with NCR really. Lancer does well enough with Prime Legion but he's not really under consideration for ownership in my opinion. He's busy anyway. I haven't seen other groups go exactly well after their leaders have passed them on. They either turn into puppets or just fade off.
It's also very sad that after so many years, the only effective strategy I've ever seen really is threatening people. I demoted heypeople once, and that really struck people into activity. For about 2 weeks. Then they stopped caring and grew complacent in their positions, without fear that anything would happen. So now, when I threatened to end APN as an option, people are suddenly freaking out. Reminds me a lot of Biblical Judgement day. Once you find out that God exists and that you're screwed for being bad your whole life, it's a bit late to make promises about how great you intend to do, morally. So now APN wants to make promises about what they're going to do, but if it hasn't been done in 4 years, what's going to change now? I believe that once I'm gone, APN would rest assured from promises of the new leader that nothing will happen and all things will be good in life, so they don't need to work anymore.
I'm really very bad at this sort of speech.
End of story, APN done. Isn't that exciting. |

God forgives sins. We'll all go to Heaven.
Perhaps if you let treatzyjr12 be the owner for a few weeks and if you don't agree with the changes, if any, then take it back and do as you are about to. |

I knew this would happen, reading the last thread Reaven made.
I planned ahead though, just wait and see. |

To those people who didn't want to see it shut down:
Sorry. Those of us that supported the memorial option really do love the clan as much as you guys do. There really isn't much else we can say beyond that.
But APN isn't the only clan out there. We had allies, tons of them. Our own members had tons of clans. There's Davester's DNE, and Lancer runs Prime Legion. RNW is a favorite of mine, and I hear TCR is pretty good. There are so many other clans out there just waiting for you to enjoy them as much as you have APN.
Don't make this the end of your line. Take whatever you learned from APN and spread it around. Make those clans better than we were. Stay with the friends you made, enjoy the times you will have together, and remember APN as great as it was.

| None of those clans will ever be equal to APN. |

@Nado
If that's your view, then I guess this is the end of your line. Those clans can be amazing if you help them to it.
@Mario
Never.
Absolutely.
Never. |
