--ZeeMan-- Posted April 4, 2004 Share Posted April 4, 2004 The History of -]AoS[- By ZeeMan The grouping of this wonderful clan dates back all the way to the days of Jedi Knight: Jedi Outcast. It was for this game that Scan was one of the more important members of the clan <{SLK}> or more appropriately named Sith Lord Knights. Quite obviously <{SLK}> was formed on the basis of dark force powers, and it is with this clan that Scan was instilled his dark roots. The game of Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy was released and <{SLK}> was formed in the midst of the multiplayer expansion. Rumor has it that <{SLK}> was one of the premier clans filled with skill and a fearless leader by the name of Nobody. Unfortunately, Nobody was forced to take an extended leave of absence for approximately nine to eleven months. His replacement as Emperor was Empress Saber Girl, who decided to run the clan with the utmost totalitarian spirit. This caused a severe rift among several of the members. A group of <{SLK}> decided to form a new clan with some other acquaintances known in the Jedi Academy community. Scan, Dodgers, and Sparky turned their loyalties on <{SLK}> and with the likes of Ullette, Vegeta, and Woody, and combined to form the illustrious -|DLS|- also known as Dark Lords of the Sith. Ullette and Vegeta slowly dropped out of the game, so Xanatos and Saze were promoted to replace them. Due to inactivity, Dodgers was demoted temporarily but still ran most of the duties concerning the website. Viper was promoted up to the rank of Clan Leader. A relatively new member, Cloud, was promoted to Clan Leader to replace Woody who was dropping out of the game. Saze was demoted as well for inactivity and Fero was promoted to replace him. By the end of all of this, the leadership position looked like this: Scan, Xanatos, Fero, Dodgers, Sparky, Cloud, and Viper. Within the first week of DLS, it was clear that they needed to start with some member recruiting. Scan and others went to servers, to try to find players with dedication and talent. One day as Scan was in a duel server, he met this player with the name of "I OWN U" (BounceBro). Intrigued with his newbie single skill, he invited him into the server, and was recruited by himself and Xanatos, as well as Cloud. Little did they know that he would be very important in the comming months. For several months -|DLS|- grew and grew, becoming ever so popular in the Jedi Academy community known for the skill of it’s members but also for the relations they managed to hold with other clans in the community. Only <{SLK}> was a real enemy, not quite forgiving the treacherous group. Now, this anger has subsided and no real bad blood exists between the two clans anymore. The first real hardship was encountered by -|DLS|- in October of 2003. All of the game servers went down and no website was available. Total demise was on the horizon, and thankfully Scan was able to get a game server and Dodgers purchased a website that still is in use today. This would be considered one of the lowest periods that the clan has been through. Late in the year 2003, -|DLS|- was the most popular clan and the most revered. At any given point in time there were ten players asking for the {CL}’s or Clan Leaders to sponsor them for joining the clan. Sponsorships were hard to come by. A relatively new player to the online community named ZeeMan was finally accepted into the clan after receiving sponsorships from Cloud, Scan, and Dodgers. No one knew exactly how important this player was to the survival of the clan. Just before the turn of the year, -|DLS|- encountered it’s second real hardships. Xanatos was removed from clan altogether for having his own thoughts about how the clan should be run. Artomas and 00kill left on their own will and formed the clan (|SK|) also known as the Sith Kings. Fero was honorably demoted to the rank of {CM} or Clan Master for being inactive as was Viper. Saze, another founding member, was promoted to take the place of Fero. It was also at this time that a new member was accepted into the clan. A seasoned veteran who flied solo in Jedi Knight: Jedi Outcast, #include, formerly known as RPTHEHOTROD was promoted and immediately proved to be an asset unto the clan. His experience from serving a multi-game clan for six years was greatly appreciated and was constantly asked for advice. He helped maintain the website and server, and helped with file hosting. He was often in leader meetings without officially being one. For his actions in forming clan meetings and getting everything resituated, ZeeMan was promoted to take the place of Xanatos after only one month in the clan. And BounceBro was promoted to take the place of Viper. Midway through the month of January another sharp blow was dealt to the clan. Cloud left his {CL} position to join an old Jedi Knight: Jedi Outcast friend by the name of Zurek in the -]AoG[- or Alliance of Guardians clan. Fero also joined Cloud in this new clan. #include was promoted to take the place of Cloud, and negotiations were started trying to get Cloud and Fero back into -|DLS|-. The changing point occurs when the council of -|DLS|- votes to change to a new clan and essentially start over as -]AoS[- which would serve as a sister clan to -]AoG[-. Unfortunately, Dodgers and Sparky did not share this view of the challenge as being worthwhile and decided to keep -|DLS|- afloat. To this day the clan is still active and very much a part of the Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy community. -]AoS[- formed the Alliance of Sith and continued to hold onto it’s seven Lord seats that were filled by Scan, Saze, Cloud, Wolfwood, ZeeMan, #include, and BounceBro. For a brief period -]AoS[- and -]AoG[- worked together and utterly dominated the Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy community. Unfortunately, -]AoG[- became less and less active, coming close to the point of disbanding. From that point onward, -]AoS[- was to stand alone, allying themselves when needed but never needing support from another clan. The latest chapter involves another total rebuilding of -]AoS[-. Suffering greatly from two inactive Lords, great measures were taken. Cloud and Saze were demoted and a five leader seat was established. Also to greater expand upon the horizons of the clan, -]AoS[- decided to become a universal clan, accepting both Light Force users and Dark Force users. A change in name was required so -]AoS[- became Agents of Sanity. Presently, -]AoS[- has a High Council composed of BounceBro leading the division of Dark Force users, Wolfwood leading the division of Light Force users, ZeeMan, Scan, and #include handling exterior relations of the clan. Fortunately, when dividing the clan up it was found that nearly fifty-fifty of the members was divided into the appropriate clans. One thing is for certain and that is that -]AoS[- will continue to grow stronger as time goes on… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
