Interview with [33rd]DevilDog|HQ|

Ruben:
Well first, who are you in the clan and what do you do?

DD:
Well, in the clan I'm basicly there for support. kind of like a consultant.
Started out with the clan shortly after it was created and led the 1st squad for some time until the inception of Divisions.. thats about the time I became a Division Commander... and eventually the Clan leader for the 33rd.
Thats my 33rd history in short form.... when i was done serving as the Clan leader... I appointed LadyDeal to the position and at that point I became basicly a retired General.
At this point with my personal life being soo busy it is hard for me to have an active role in clan managment. But with my experiance I stick around for support when needed. But my one major pet project is Clan moral through

Ruben:
how do think think that the clan whill be continue, will it be stant for long and will mohaa be popular again?
and whill there come new things?

DD:
I think the clan will definately continue.. for a long time if not for ever. We have new people joining the clan every month and they are the future. As long as new recruits are comming into the comunity and the veterans continue to manage the clan.. the 33rd will always be around.

Ruben:
okay that sounds GOOD!!!

DD:
As far as a MoH:AA revival or rise to popularity? I dont think it will happen. You have hard core Moh:AA players who will continue to play no matter what. The nice thing about a smaller player base in moh:aa means that these are the hard core players.. these players are fairly skilled and fun to play against. And the ratio of cheaters to clean players will be good.. simply because MoH:AA purists will be who is left.

Ruben:
ah yes indeed, that could be

DD:
New things..... that is really up to the community. The 33rd membership really decides what they want to do. One thing I can see taking off into the future is our 33rd Fanball.. we are in our 3rd year of it now and this season we took donation and raised 40 dollars for the server funds. For fanball all things look good for the future... I hope to eventually be able to have enough interest to run more then one league.. but one is good for now.

Ruben:
Okay that nice.
Does the clan need more donations?

DD:
absolutely... the clan always needs donations. It would be really nice if all clan members could donate regularly and help build a reserve. As it is now all signs point to us struggling to keep the servers running.

Ruben:
ooh okay well: members, keep donation!!!

DD:
We have been really fortunate with some past clan members carrying the burden. For instance Chico payed for his server to be a 33rd server for years... and all of HQ usually donates at least 100$ per year.

Ruben:
Well that was it I think
Do you want to say something?

DD:
Yes, something I'd like to add is that clan members really can make the decissions. If you want to start a WoW guild, or some other gaming alliance/club/community in the name of the 33rd....please do so. Let an HQ member know what you want to do. And we will help you the best we can. Now that doesnt mean.. you will instantly get funds for servers or anything like that. But we can give you and area to communicate to the clan what your intentions are.. and we can hep you develope a orginization structure for you to follow.

We all play other games besides moh:aa or other 1st person shooters. For instance.. I play an oline browser game.. called space invasion. Mike and I have created what they call an Alliance in the name of the 33rd. We may recruit and build it larger.. or we may just be a 2 man show over there... time will tell.

Ruben:
indeed

DD:
My hope is that our members can branch out an build the 33rd name into the communities that they are interested in. This will not only promote the 33rd name.. but bring new members and friends into our family.
some who will cross game and play with these new friends.

Ruben:
yes that nice, allways when a Rec. pass its tryout its a beautifal moment

DD:
yeah, for the most part... if a recruit gets to the TRY-out.. they more then likely have already made there way into the clan. The try-out is really more of an initiation and a tool to determine a begining rank.,
Ruben:
yes indeed

DD:
but they are always fun and can be stressfull for the recruit
I remeber my old roomate did his try-out against an old guy named BB Guns.
My roomie was sweating and shaky... but it all worked out and he got through it... and he actually did rather good. That was back in the day when the motto was.. "to become a 33rd, you have to beat a 33"

Ruben:
Eehehe good moto

DD:
any more questions for your interview?

Ruben:
yes i last question
Does HQ need more Staff members. I know that people are interested in that.

DD:
good question, I would say at this time the Headquarters probably doesnt need more members. But some of the members to need what I would call an assistant. For example... I am doing awards and promotions. I'd love to get some help with all the work that is generated from this.
also we are developing or tweaking the current rank structure and promotion system so that it will be more friendly to know who is in positions of leadership and who may not be in leadership but is a long time loyal member.
Any more questions?

Ruben:
No this was it. Thanks a lot

DD:
Ok have a great day my friend

Ruben:
Thank you to my great friend.

Ruben:
Hi

Blood:
Hi

Ruben:
Ok thanks. well: who are you and why did you leave the 33rds????

Blood:
haha, well i'm 21 years old and i was in the clan for 1,5 years before i left.
the reason i left was fairly big, i left when there was a separation between some people and because i was much closer to one side, when they left, i ended up going with them because i had been thinking of leaving prior to that as it was

Ruben:
Oohhhh i see.
So, why did you come back?

Blood:
well i went and was with GoD for a bit but i thought about it and i wasnt getting to be a better player there, i was barely considered a real member, so i figured id try to come back to where i learned most of my skills and finish off my MOHAA career where it basically started

Ruben:
ok, so you came back becouse [33rd] is where you started and were you are getting better?

Blood:
Yeah

Ruben:
well that nice to hear

Blood:
not sure really, im going to try to get more involved as i go along and we'll see what happens because before i left i was learning rcon and things of that nature, so maybe eventually back to that but who knows, thats really up to HQ and where we're at as a clan

Ruben:
yes, well is there something that you like to ad to this interview?

Blood:
not really, seems pretty solid

Ruben:
okay well that was it, thanks for your time and than i will get this on the newsroom

Blood:
