I'm not sure or understand what you are saying Elmo, on the one hand you said this.

That was another reason why STW and MTW were so well thought of. They were very large MP communities and most clans were willing to train new players and show them all the "secrets". It didn't kill any clan's success. There were more excellent clans during those times than ever.
That is what 7Bear7 does, thought you knew that, we have never rejected an application to our clan yet that I know of. All new players are welcomed.

Then, on the other hand you are also saying this.


So do they have to join the 7Bear7 clan as a new recruit to have access to this vast library or is it open to anyone who asks?

If it is just to those who want to join the 7Bear7 clan then my previous statements are still valid.

New players leave because there is no public place to lay out such things so anyone has access to it, not just a few select individuals. This limits the size of the MP community in the manner described in my previous post. What about all the non-clan MP players out there? Should they not have access to such info.?
I can't tell you how many times I have trained new players in a game that were not 7Bear7, not just me, but Kuma, Dej, Polar, Scar, etc.

We play for fun and always host hill maps, meaning we are at the bottom of the hill and the other side is at the top.:)

Many players have been trained as Bears and have moved on to other clans with our doors always open for them.

We don't PW our games and they are open for all to join, unlike other people who just let a select few in.

Part of our clan code of honor is to help the community as stated here.

I will freely offer help to memebers of the community
So to answer your question Elmo, anyone who wants help can get it from us without being a member of Bears.

I'm a little confused, because I thought everyone knew this already about us.

But I am glad now this discusion was started so I could reiterate it again.
