One Big ol' Gatherin'

August 23rd.
On this date, I want ALL members of Clan Donut to be on Battle.net at 12:30am Eastern Standard Time. One of the newest features introduce is clan support on Battle.net, and I would love it if we could get registered. The catch is that we need 10 people at the very least in order to create the clan. To complicate matters the ten people must be on battle.net at the same time. Believe it or not, we have had 12 people in the clan at one time or another. I also have found two of my friends willing to be on Battle.net so they can be some extra bodies if needed.
This is really important to me, because, believe it or not, the clan will be one year old that weekend, and I think it would be awesome if that is the weekend we become an official clan on that date. I never expected us to even get people to join the clan and I never thought I'd have a website for it or that I'd be talking to clanmates a year later. It's pretty cool when you think about it.
Here's our clan roster (in order of joining):
1. BigBoston (Chieftain)
2. KrispyK (Shaman)
3. Glazed (Shaman)
4. Sprinkles (Shaman)
5. Fudge
6. Powdered (Grunt)
7. Jellyfilled (Grunt)
8. Plain
9. Toldie (Shaman)
10. Cinnamon (Grunt)
11. Coconut (Grunt)
12. FallenGrunt (Grunt)
13. Jaxom (Grunt)
14. BearClaw (Grunt)
Names in bold are people I am fairly sure we'll be there the 23rd. Names without a Orc unit next to their name I highly doubt will be there. The orc units is your proposed rank. Battle.net has four ranks: Peon, Grunt, Shaman, and Chieftain. Everyone starts off as a Peon for one week. Grunt are regular guys and Shaman have the power to promote Peons to Grunts (or vice versa) and control over the clan channel (our own private channel, cool huh?). The Chieftain can do the same as a Shaman, but can promote Grunts to Shamans (or vice versa) and can pass on his rank to another member of the clan (only one Cheiftain per clan). He can also disband the clan. Go to Battle.net for more info on Clan stuff.
The last two members (13 and 14) are the two friends who will be helping us out. I can't say how active they'll be, but I appreciate their help. Number 12 is our newest member, FallenGrunt. He didn't want to give up his name, and I think I can be lenient just this once. Keep in mind, FallenGrunt, that your win-loss record in Reign of Chaos does NOT transfer to the expansion, so you may want to think up a donut topping, just in case.
If you want to help out with the gathering of the donuts, try to get in touch with the non-bold members and try to get some fresh blood in the clan. Who knows? Maybe Donut will survive to see a 2nd year anniversary.
Now DON'T make any plans for August 23rd.

From the Frozen Depths I Come!
by: BigBoston (7-6-03 2:30am)
The time has finally come. The Frozen Throne has hit shelves and that means it's time for me to start updating again. I'll also be popping up on the Battle.net forums and probably Warcraft Strategy forums to lure people in our internet death-trap.
Trying to make this clan the best (read: reminding you all the clan still exists) I'm making a few changes:
-Few comics during the summer. Uploading images is a pain on a 56k. They're not funny, so it's not like you're missing anything.
-Beta History will be taken down in about a month or so. You can only cling to the past for so long. It's horrible behind in the number of patches anyway.
-Members page will be updated. All active members will be getting e-mails or other forms of notification to let me know if you still are playing War3 and if you'll be sticking around to play with us losers.
-A semi-agressive campaign to get us the needed 10 members to become an official clan on battle.net. So, if anyone you know wants to join us, let me know. Right now we have me, Krisp (active once more), Glazed, and Toldie. Sprinkles has yet to purchase TFT, going for that Star Wars MMORPG instead. So even if he DOES buy TFT, he'll probably keep playing SWG until he's bored or broke. MIA is Cinnamon and Coconut, who both were unable to do join on the beta and got lost during the mix. Hopefully, they are still in and we can boost our ranks to six or seven active members, which means less whoring on the forums for me to do!
-I'll do some articles for AWCS pretty soon. Expect humor-based justice, since my strategy sucks.
And, for the few visitors here, pardon the mess while I fix up the site. I hope the site fufills your expectations, which are undoubtedly high. Right?
Now bring me more beetles!
