Hey everyone,
I've enjoyed a great deal of success with this WBS project. Well, not as much as let's say USSR, but WBS has passed a good bit of hurdles, most of which suggest to me that WBS is going to be a fixture on the clan page for a while. In case you haven't picked it up yet, I'm not closing up shop or passing on leadership (although there are people in my clan I'm sure are more than capable of leading what I've started.
Anyway, onto the point.
I'd like to tear down the fourth wall and describe to you the mission of WBS. When I started WBS I had aspirations of being the next USSR or RotB, looking at how so many of the old greats had fallen or were on their way down- quick.
I suddenly realized, however, that a great deal of the applicants are going to be newer players. Good players are going to come along every once in a while, but the applicants list reflects the bulk of the players- people over 6,000 that picked up and are enjoying the game.
Even though there are just about as many ID's over 5,000 as there are under, the 0-4,999 has lost a lot of players, and the players that are good builders and still around are going back and forth between clans. At some point, well, what's the point?
It took me a bit to realize this, but with all the terrible noobish clans coming out, I realized that for a clan to be mega-successful, one of those greats need to step down and get their hands dirty- be a progressive addition to the clan section that lacks the boring "we only let in good players", well, good job idiot. You just turned down the overwhelming majority of Blockland's fanbase.
So as the leader of WBS, I want to spearhead this effort, create a clan that greats look at and go 'okay, I can dig this' and newer players can look upon and say 'yeah, I can do this'.
So, that's the long and short of it, I guess. I could've gone into more detail, but that's what's going on with this clan.
