Black Label Clan

First, I am going to be finalizing the "quiz" competition we had. If you don't remember I created a Black Label History Quiz. Canon won, Spike and Fient came in second and third respectively. I'm going to make good on the promises on that I made this week. Very Happy

Second, a new contest will be held. This was an idea brought up to me by another member. A year end awards ceremony will be held. What I need help on are catagories. I want 20 catagories. And we will vote on who wins. I will take nominations for each catagory. Get down to three finalists. And vote on the winner. I'd like to have sigs made for them. I'm asking you to come up with 20 catagories. I will share the catagories with some select individuals and whomever wins will get a PS3 game. It will be a random game but a game non-the-less. Start sending me your catagories. I will only take them on our personal forums via pm. Anywhere else and I won't count them. Good luck and have fun. I want this to be serious but not too serious.

Third, ALL MEMBERS OF BLACK LABEL AND NEW POTENTIAL MEMBERS MUST BE REGISTERED ON OUR FORUMS. Most of the important information will be here and less and less elsewhere. I want activity on game forums (MR, COD, LiveWH) and use that to recruit and whatnot but clan info will only be available here very, very soon.

Fourth, I want to lay out the overall leadership tree once more just for clarification. Overall leaders are as follows.
Jueboy
Canon44
RyantheGr8
Spikecrook
Spongebob
Young Sinema
hmmmm something is missing.

Fifth. Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, children of all ages. Black Label proudly bring back to you the one and only CAPONE112!!!!!! Guess who's back , back again, capone is back tell a friend. That's right. Capone never officially left us on RFOM but only COD4. In essance we kept his spot warm. He asked if he'd be welcome back and I got many positive remarks so he is back. I'm very glad he came back to us. We are a family of sorts so it's hard to just leave. He is, was and will be an important part of our success. His official overall is intact. Special circumstances led me to this. Foresight is still leader of COD with those appointed (Ryan, DM, HB, Worm-) still doing there thing. Capone will come back as a Co/recruiter and will help the gb situation as he is fairly familiar with it. Please welcome him back!

Sixth, In speaking with Canon, I've decided upon something that could be important. I'm wanting to start a forum similar to this that will be a "meeting point" for clans to talk, recruit, share strats and converse with other clans, set up gbs. This site will be for all games. It's hard to recruit when forums aren't available. So I'm wanting to start a community that encompasses all PS3 multiplayer games. I want a forums area specifically designed for one game. An example would be for UT3. You would have UT3 and the forum. Clan, Recruiting, and maps/strats as subforums. This may help clans get recruits as well as recruits learn about all available clans and make a educated/informed decision on which they'd like to join or if a clan is really for them. My time is limited so I'm looking for someone to design a forum and keep it updated. This person needs be a mature, savvy, friendly individual that can sell others on this particular forum. Someone to spread the word that can also make a kick ass forum that is easy to use and effective and efficient. Anyone interested let me know.

Lastly, I want to share some personal thoughts with all of you.

Keep gaming simple. Keep gaming fun. Too many times I get "caught up" and my frustration gets the best of me. In those times I remember what I play for. I don't play for money, fame, prizes, or to prove anything to anyone. We are all winners in life. Period. So we need to remember two words in the phrase I'm going to say. We are PLAYING a GAME. How fortunate are we? I count ourselves among the lucky few. Playing Games. That's what we're doing. Why? It's fun. Simple. I count myself even luckier to have made friends with a group of people that are fun, funny, sometimes outrageous, supportive, and generally a good group to be around. Each of us should sit back and think how much of a priviledge it is to be in this group. I may have started it but I didn't create it. You all created a unique vision of a gaming family that can't be duplicated. I'm just along for the ride like all of you.
If you get frustrated with a game. Good. But, as I have to remind myself, remember that in the end you turn off your system and sit on the couch and life is still going on around you. So while you're in the game remember these few things. Make it count. Make it fun. Enjoy the company of your friends. Share stories. Share jokes. Help others. Ask others for help. Smile.

P.S.
As the holiday approaches pray for those that aren't as fortunate. Keep them in your hearts. They need our support now as they do always. Good thoughts and wishes have a strange effect and the ability to mend many fences.

Okay, now that the after school special is over lol

I have a few other items on the fence at this point so a part two may come through in the next couple days. Any questions pm me. Very Happy
