Just found the original call out from McDoc to get the VFF family started. Rather than necro a thread I thought I'd paste it below. It was dated 15th Nov 2012, really really interesting to see the early names.
We've already had a lot of interest in the team - and we will need a variety of talents & resources - one of which has to be people who are "on" enough to contribute. I'm not totally sure if Time Zones will actually be a factor if the factions actions are collective vs if we get better results if we are all on at the same time doing simultaneous attacks - we can sort the Time Zone thing out later as we figure out how that comes into play.
So far, based on the interest, I'd like to form a team with the following people:
"Initial" list - subject to change once the MW3 is released
You have to consider massive leveling as part of this team
Also "time on" each day will be a factor
Lastly - adjustments may need to be made if "Time Zones" become a factor:
McDoc
MickyMacIrl
Gambit12
Vballmadam
Sugarymama
Manbeast
Poopenshrire
Dr. Dengus
HelloKitty
Thunderchild
Wow - that's 10 already and that just from quickly going through those that have recently verbalized a desire to participate from a previous thread. There are at least 10 others I'd love to have ready to join as soon as we can expand to more members.
Obviously there are more quality Vets we will want to recruit - and I will compile a Reserve list - especially if one of the 10 above cant participate.
Some names (so far that i can remember) for the recruit list BASED on WHO has expressed an interest in participating:
In No Particular Order
Cheiz
Ckos
Agent Orange
Jhomel
Copenhagen
HBbomber
Maverick
Miner
Selfproclaimed

Ferr - if he's interested

This list grows every hour
Already more than enough for a few more teams :/
I didn't list any of the elite Pirates as I suspect they will already honor their alliances. But of course we would love to have some of the highly respected Pirate forum contributors
Currently to be found ripping it up with the Titanium crew on Call To Arms. PM me to join the fun.
To funny to see the list of names.. So many have come and gone. Hope all are doing well. Thanks Thief for the Bravo mention. Good Luck Teams
Ok, I'm gonna say what we're all thinking. I miss Bronson. There, I said it.
His forum award shows are still the most brilliant threads ever.

He did weird things to sheep but I miss Bronson to. He changed his in game name a while back and during a cull of allies I lost him. Where you at Bron-king hit us up. Maybe him, Aidan and Thunderchild really did ride off in to the sunset in the end......
Actually that's not true as my occasional love tap from TC lets me know he still cares.

He still reads from time to time, but he is very busy with work and family.
Just a little ole friend with a hockey mask and my lucky machete!
I miss this team too. The VFF I came to love were originally called The French, and then Tier One. I think after merging with VFF Alpha, we just became VFF.... So much history with all the great teams, and name changes... Heck I'm Frank Einstein now lol but cheers to great players and a great team!!
