The Future of Fight Club

Not sure what any of this has to do with rogues. What did rogues do first, exactly?

Im also not sure what any of this has to do with you Montecore. I wish you could stop trolling for a day or so.

Ehm, somebody would still need to deplete all gold bonuses that came in remaining, right?... ^_*

Top 10 (12M IP+) with free regen, no gold. Sounds legit!

You stated "free regen" and quoted a guy who insisted in a gold-free war.

[Thirsty]

We will finally be able to see a real battle at the top.

You really can't shut up, can you. Believe it or not, not every thread is about you.

Its time for you to get over your stalker crush on MT. He dumped you. Its over. Get over it and move on.


And... congrats to FC on being number 1 for every single war! It is an impressive streak!!

[MagnusDux]

Some would have regen hits, some would still have mountains of gold to deplete, no?... ^_^

AMG... burn wanted me to post this for you

Yet again, FC eventually wake up and smell the coffee, many months after Indians opted out of spending Gold.

Here is the actual timeframe:

1. Right from the get go of Syn Wars, it became immediately clear that Fight Club had chosen A Win at Any Cost strategy. If they needed to buy their way out from under the heel of the Indians, we were happy to watch them do so, and laughed even harder when they crowed about this hollow victory that they were buying from Gree at a frankly ridiculous price.

2. Indians continued to go for the value prizes, even in the earliest Syn wars we opted out of a 2nd place finish based on a poor prize, and that at a time when 2nd was a relatively low cost Click & Coast exercise for us.

3. As the cost of winning was driven ever higher by more craven noob players desperate for validation, we actually tried to talk sense to a group of top Syn leaders, invited into a room in Kakao. This was where the first CC Gold boycott was organised - others on the forum, Matt of SAS/Rogues for one, tried to claim the props for this action, but it was an Indian initiative.

4. It again quickly became clear that there were too many agendas, too many egos, and frankly, too much stupidity, for this to work. Gree had the players acting like crackheads by now - it was beyond repair.

5. Indians thus opted out of the meaningless and self aggrandising 'Leader Room'.

6. Indian leadership at this point told Indians that the spending days were over, legacy Indians would not be replaced by spenders and mercenaries buying their place in our ranks.

7. Some Indians now under the influence of Gree crack left to pursue their desire for prizes and rank. This was generally reported on the forums as the "Indians fallng apart", but it was our decision.

8. For the last 3 or 4 wars, Indians have spent very little Gold. We've watched as the forums became a hotbed of whining, quit threads, Gree abuse, and other forms of venting by the angry addicted.

9. Eventually, when you all stopped beating your chests like Tarzan, perhaps you heard the beat of the Indian drums that you all marched to in the past - those drums were beating out a simple message... Wake Up Dummies You're Being Exploited.

10. So you're retiring at the top FC? Welcome back to the real world. The world where irrespective of how much you spent, there will always be an Indian to remind you of your mental weakness, and the fact that you actually won nothing. You didn't beat the Indians, we'd already opted out when the price went beyond the justifiable cost of 'buying entertainment', FC were in fact only fighting the shadows we left behind.

In closing, well played Gree, it was you and you alone that took the crown from the Indians. All the chumps that once danced to our tune, now dance to yours. Well played indeed.

FC should change the name to: "7th U.S. Cavalry Regiment" and have their players change the names to General Custer and fight Indians. LOL

The Future of Fight Club

Dear Friends and Fellow Fighters,

For the 13th consecutive time Fight Club placed #1 on the Empire City map to maintain our 100% success rate. Along the way we suffered our first defeats, which although disappointing for us all were inevitable at some point. But, in essence, FC truly has nothing left toprove to any other syndicate. We have dominated Wars comprehensively and our success is a testament to the unity and fighting spirit of all our members, both past and present.

Those who have bean with FC since Day 1, as well as those who know the history, will be well aware that FC was originally formed to take on and beat head-to-head the self-styled Crime City bullyboys known as the Indians. We did that comprehensively time and time again - they were no match for us. Eventually the Indians withered away whilst FC powered on. They were good times indeed.

The fact is that CC has changed markedly since the first War many months ago. GREE has only one objective which is, quite frankly, to screw us as far as possible. Recently, the majority of players agree that GREE have stepped far over the line of blatant profiteering into outright fraud. Many of you have successfully pursued individual refunds from Apple and Google. This is a game - it shouldn't have to be like this. We're supposed to have fun, not be frustrated week after week.

The Board is of the opinion that GREE have taken their abuses too far now and it is time to make a symbolic stand against them. Many, both inside and outside of FC, have already taken their own stands by quitting. We believe many more will be doing so over the coming weeks.

With that in mind, the Board of FC has reached a unanimous decision that the next and last battle of 2013 will be the final swan song for FC. After that battle, FC will be disbanded and renamed with a new vision and gameplay strategy. The core of that vision will be to have fun with friends whilst spending as little gold as possible. Those who wish to
spend will be free to do so but there will be no compunction to do so. If
you wish to be an all out fighter wishing to rank as high as possible
during Wars then our new syndicate will not be a natural home for you. We will post more details about our new syndicate in due course.

We hope that everybody will stay with us for the last battle and give FC the send off that it truly deserves which is to finish as we started, for
the 14th and final time, ranking #1 in our final outing. We will play in
the way that only FC truly can - which is to tap tap tap at will, however much you want, whenever you want. All Board Members will collectively participate in the running of our last War - our primary goal will be to have FUN as a team! To those who decide to leave or retire beforehand, we truly wish you all the best.

Our sister syndicate, FC2 will continue as an independent syndicate to be run by the existing FC2 Board. They will announce a new name in due course. We hope that once FC is disbanded some of FC's fighters may find a new home there.

The Board acknowledges and respects the fact that the decisions being announced herein will create some anger, bitterness and resentment amongst some of our syndicate members. But, we have deliberated long and hard
about this - not just today but for some weeks now. The decisions are full and final. We have no wish to see FC fall into decay and oblivion. Going out at the top is the correct choice - the only choice that is a fitting end for FC. We ask that players do not start conducting witch hunts in main chat - we will take action if required. Please conduct your discussions in a polite and respectful manner, as befitting of your place in FC. Thank you.

We will be making a formal announcement on the forum shortly but in the meantime please respect FC and do not re-post this announcement outside of FC. Thank you.

Sorry, I'm almost crying as I write this (AMG).

Regards,

The Fight Club Board.

[Emperor886]

Sorry to hear AMG, that really sucks, but I guess it had to happen sooner or later. Respect, Fight Club, you fought very well all this time.

Just out of curiosity, all those mods won for first place, do those apply to all members that remain inside the syndicate, or were they given out to each member at the time of the win permanently? If it's the former, disbanding and joining other syndicates would mean a lot of money went to waste.

never thought this day would come
