There are a few "gems" like NFC and Skilled Force in the SF community, but for the most part, its pretty lacking. For years now, a lot of sword groups have essentially been traded like commodities(See: SCR, VN, IF, VE, etc). They aren't viewed as groups as much as they are viewed as collectibles for profit. LMaDers with a very minimal ability to lead typically obtain these groups, driven them to crap, and then pass them on to the next bidder. This leaves the larger, more well known sword groups lacking proper, stable leadership and HICOM, quality bases and amenities, and a well disciplined member core. As a result, when people in those member cores decide to go off and make their OWN SFing groups, they lack the necessary knowledge to lead them successfully, and as a result you have a pretty terrible community. Sure, gun groups have their issues, but it's WAY more often that I see an SF clan do any of the following than a gun clan: -Admin attack or abuse -Trade hands for a limited -Shutdown fort mid raid -Start incessant, illogical flame wars on C&G(this one is more even but w/e) -Provide ENDLESS egos across the clan community -Overall act trashy and rudely to other groups and people for the slightest infractions.
These aren't things I've just heard about, or assume happens commonplace because 1 or 2 well known SF groups do it. These are things I've witnessed en-masse from the swords community in large. And it has nothing to do with swords themselves, it does have to do with the fact that SF community has allowed people to buy them off. They've sold out, and that is the actual truth.

The community is dead. There's pretty much only 3 or 4 clans that survive and are decent
Royal Blood SS NFC EXTINCT (debatable)
SCR is trash and rest of the old "top 10" are dead |

@Dev OK, thats good. But now you have to recover what changing owners rapidly for over a year has done to SCR. You have to first rebuild an excelling HICOM, not just one that "functions", then you have to build a decent member core, and then you have to stand out as an SF group that doesn't have the typical traits associated with it, but that has traits such as trustable, reasonable, disciplined, yet easy-going, and overall validated and honest. Then, and only then, can you begin fixing its reputation through wars where YOU take the higher ground. Don't think you're out of the woods yet, you aren't whatsoever.

SCR is a formidable force which hasn't had the chance to get a suitable challenge @king, we often get declined.

That's part of the issue. You guys don't war to have fun, you war to seem superior, to try to put other groups down. Not only is that harmful to the community, but its harmful to SCR as well. You repel people when you stroke your egos like that(consciously or not), they type of people beneficial to clans because of their experience or skills. If you want war, try making it as friendly as possible. You'll be more likely to be accepted from it and you'll be more likely to positively benefit from it as well.

@king SCR tries to war. We have declared war on basically every top 20 group, but we get declined due to our past.
@Hope Please explain how SCR is 'trash' when we had 7 trainings, 1 raid/rally, and 2 defenses on Friday (We took yesterday off except for our 4th of July party that got 30 people to it) and when every event gets 10-40 people. Our AVERAGE people per event is 25, but I mentioned 10-40 because some trainings get very few on holidays and whatnot, then some events just get more than expected.

@xKan Honestly, like, I dig rainway and all, he's a chill guy, but he's the worst of it when it comes to using groups as a commodity. He only cares about HAU and money. Every other group passing through his ownership he tries to profit on and it's helped kill the sword community. He doesn't sell groups to good leaders with a lot of money, he sells them to terrible leaders with more money than the good leaders.

Honestly, NFC is one of the very few good SF clans. Ezaiahs keeps it out of trouble, its got a good reputation, its retained good activity for some 4+ years now, and it's got a fun fort with relatively fair amenities. Its HRs are competent and don't abuse their power, and they've got a loyal member core not recruited by illegitimate methods. Disregarding skill with swords and perhaps publicity, NFC is, I daresay, the best SF clan still out there.

nfc added a crossbow to a sword only fort
the hrs there are idiots who maybe can "run" the group internally, but externally they make it look like crap
ez is probably the worst nfc leader tbh |

And it's still better than 99% of the sword clans out there. You can't compare it to gun groups, then it looks bad. But compared to other sword groups? It's a gem.
