Introduction:

Years ago, I used to play video games – a lot.

C.O.D. was my game.

Like all C.O.D. players the object was to be the best.

And for the most part the only way to do that was to belong to the best clan.

And for those of you who don’t know what I mean by clan, it is you team, your people, your identity.

The clan that you belong to showed your worth.

It determined all your stats – win lose record, KDR (kill death ratio) your rank and sometimes if you were in a good enough clan this wasn’t just for stats but for world recognition.

There are leader board that give world standards based on how good you are of a player.

Now obviously if you were a good player and a part of a great clan your states would be great.

Now if you’re were a chump but were a part of a good clan and played as a team player or you could say had team unity your states would be good.

And that would help your leader board position.

Now these leader boards were not just to bust your pride.

The higher you are on the leader board the more likely you would be noticed by the pro gaming industry.

And the video gaming designers.

So, every clan would have these tryouts.

Now of course there are certain qualities that the leaders would look for.

Of course, there was always these people who would be really good at the games but they had so pride and were driven by selfish ambition they could not play as a team.

Therefore, we always had try outs.

And if you passed the tryout text, we would let you play with us for a while to see if you were worthy to be in our clan.

This process took some time.

We wanted to make sure that even when we weren’t playing together as a clan you still had the clan’s universal purpose in mind always.

So, one of your rules for the Galaxy clan was that while you were Proving your Worth, you could not play C.O.D without a clan member with you.

But what people didn’t know was that when we were getting ready to recruit, we took our clan tags off our gamer name and just played the games – we had designated spy’s you could say.

As we would run into potential recruits be would befriend them and play with them for a while – without letting them know that we were a part of a clan.

Then when we were ready to recruit one of the spies would act all excited and tell the would be recruit that they were just excepted to try out for our clan and one of their requirement were to bring someone they though were worthy to try out with them.

Now what this opened the door for us to be able to see this person’s character.

If they were going to act the same way when they were with us or not.

It helped us to determine it the would be new clan member would humble himself and play like we wanted him to for the greater good of the team.

Or if he would have his own selfish ambition and conceit on his mind more often than not.

It saddens me to say that even though many people had a great KDR, because of pride, they could not play by the rule so, they were not in our clan.

Do you know what Pride stands for?
