Yes to be honest I don't even know why some in jog thought this to be the case of how we operate. I posted something similar to haasdog who was trying to understand what was going on via pm. And what I told him was this:
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.
This is a copy and paste of what I sent haasdog on this
er as well.
We have explained our policy to a hobo who respectfully asked us in our private forums. I barely knwo the guy but what I get is that he is a pretty stand up individual.
We didn't come here to cause problems. Or to take members. Or to get into fights with members of this community. Thats the last thing we are looking to do.
And like I have stated the reason why we have come here at all is that we recognize that swgo is the main community of force using jedi in this game. Now we understand there are many forms of play in this game. And we are happy to do different types of matches with different rules. If you want to do pullers thats fine, if you want to do a few shooters thats fine. If you noticed I haven't said no to anything that you guys wanted to put in place for the battle. The main thing we want to accomplish here is 1.) actually have decent relations with you guys and 2.) to show the community as a whole that force is not the noob thing that so many frown upon. That there are players out there that enjoy it and it should be respected as part of the game. Thats why we want the bigger match, because its a visual show of force so to speak that hey the community is getting behind this. We are trying help foster a better standing for force players. The smaller matches are fine too. Because they foster good working relationships between us and the community. But for the value of what we would like to accomplish, its not as powerful of a statement.
I hope what we have stated here gets through because we do want a good working relationship with swgo.
with this said I believe someone said to make a poll, I will do that later on today and we hope we can get something that is good for all of us here and the community as a whole.
