TotalWar Community and Clan History Project

[Kas]

Hello

We are bussy collecting as much information as possible to write the epic history of our beloved community and clans. This can't be done without the help of the clans and individual community members, so we made a questionnaire and send it to most clans already. If your clan didn't receive a questionnaire...please copy and paste it yourself and return it to me when you finished it.

Each clan...big or small...old or new...dead or alive will be listed in time. All have or had their part in history and deserve to be mentioned.

We will start with the "alive and kicking" clans.

There might be a price available for the best/most complete history returned to us (more details asap)

On behalf of the TotalRome staff:

If you have any questions or remarks...feel free to contact us.

Thanks for your help

Sticky plz

[ElmarkOFear]

Nice project Kas. :) Do you plan on placing this info on a website, in a forum, or something else? I have lived thru most of the history of the Total War clan scene. Lots of colorful characters have come and gone.

[Muneyoshi]

Muneyoshi is now the person to get in contact if you have any information. It will be up on Total Rome when finished.

[ShadeHonestus]

oooooo good idea

[Shahed]

The community is not the community, if you understand.
As for old clans, most are dead, missing or simply apathetic and hardly worth thinking about any more. The history would be nice I am sure but who will read it? This is not the place it used to be

......Orda

[Papewaio]

There are many more ghosts now that lurk the forums who once posted in jest and fun in the community. Write the history for those who where and those who will be.

Great project.... Can't wait to find out how many clans are alive.... Especially MTW clans, because I'm not a member of any clan(well, tried to register with the Tiger clan, to be a full member, but I still have to fight with them...) and I'm curious which other MTW clans are left alive because Rome took all the glory and greatness of MTW....

[Drisos]

Is this for STW too?

I will soon be working on a new stw site. I thought about including old clans' info (and new clans) on it too.

I think we might we able to help eachother!

This seems to have lost momentum. lahll is the one to give the entire history for the DreadMasters - once a formidable group of honorable and well groomed members of strategy (whose egos got in the way of its continuance). Still, it is a good project, and one that ought to be taken seriously. Even if individual members of the .org simply list the names of the clans they have belonged to from STW to the present.

As I recall many of the STW clans dissolved into MTW clans - just by changing their name or titles. Some of the Kings grew weary of their original charter and went off to form new ones.

I know, I joined the Dreads at the end of STW and beginning of MTW. A stubborn group (lahll, Wakibiki, Buntaro, Turin) were determined to continue the Dread name. Adding Checkmate, Bachus, Ham, Ghost (R.I.P.), myself, (and later )T1, and deMorte. Originally the idea was to limit our number to seven (or eight), but the expansion of other clans prompted some to desire further expansion. Also, that we change our method of rule - from all being equal, to a rotating council of 3 that would rule (changing every six months) and make decisions; the idea being that it would make decision making on certain issues "easier". During this time frame I was sanctioned for some tongue-in-cheek remarks I made to the RTK - about their cheating in a CWC competition (J/K). So, I withdrew for a few weeks .... by the time I returned the Dreads were going down the rabbit hole - leaving lahll and me to fend for ourselves.
Since we don't openly recruit, and when we do warn the initiates that our process is a cautious one that takes time - though we do offer training during that period and access to our members room - those that have entered have either lost interest or been found wanting (not meeting all the criteria deem honorable). So, we remain. As more a Ronin clan than a true one, possibly, but we remain loyal to one another and expect anyone joining us to do the same.

lahll, can list the original Dreads, I recall a few; Injin, Macajar, Ice (the renegades .... :)) - but recall egos got in the way then too. Is hard to hold great generals together when they are all equal to any task, but only believe in their own ability and ideas or concepts of rule. So, we remain a "No collar, no crown" clan - where all are equal upon their acceptance and wear the Dread name upon that passing ('til then they can wear the Master title).

Note: In STW to gain the title "Dread" one had to go on a quest to defeat X# of foes and gain 139 (?) honor points in the ladders. All things change. During the MTW reign we changed it to winning 3 contested battles in CWB or CWC. Today, we have relaxed even that - to beat lahll and me (me be easy).

Good luck in the endevour to gain a history of all the clans. Believe the Hattori are now the MokumKnights, and RTK has a few former Dreads (their King started the Dreads as I recall, too).
