Alas! I hope you find what you're looking for in JOG, Josh. Good luck with the tryout.
wait, you guys are serious? i was kidding. jeff (the leader/founder) cleared this up a couple months ago in a massive wall of text.
"To be honest when I first saw this I thought it was about us taking a player from you guys. In which I agree a clan should not do to another clan. I have posted such for our newer members not to do. Now I have never had an issue with a player being recruited out of a community before, being that a community isn't the same thing as a clan. My understanding from what I have read and what others have told me is that swgo is a community. However what I didn't understand was that there was more anger towards a perceived policy in which we don't allow our members to visit or interact with other sites or communities. This has never been a policy of JOGs. We don't mind any one person being involved in a community organization. We don't mind them being admins of community servers. We like them having friends and interactions with members outside of JOG. Obviously when ones been around the game as long as I am sure most of you have, friendships have been around a lot longer than any one clan. So we respect that. This also allows us to help foster good relations with any community as well. So you have my word we have no such policy in which states players aren't allowed to be involved with communities.
Where we do draw the line on any member joining us is that he or she only fights for us. Its a clan loyalty thing. From my understanding many of the clans /communities mix and match their players. This is not something we do. We have no issues with our members playing in mix clan matches. But we ask them to keep our tag on. They are a member of JOG and we ask our members to represent us in all things concerning the game we play."
Hell, I got players in NH and SWGO at the same time, it's no biggie, since I know that swgo is a community and not a clan
