Notice of Closure
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
According to your Members list you have only had 5 clan members posting in the past two weeks. Rule 12 of the clan subforum states that you need at least six active members to remain a clan. The last time a 6th member posted was on 4-03-13. Therefore in accordance to that rule I hereby put [The Called] on a Notice of Closure.
In two weeks, (5-28-2013), if you can not show six active members I will have no choice but to retire this clan.

And I guess that I'm a lucky one for the truth of what I know. For my heart had not denied me and I have somewhere to go. I shall never be a prisoner of steel and glass and stone. If I leave, I will return again to my Rocky Mountain home.
Well there are at least 6 of us...we're just rather busy at times. I know I've been a bit aloof. I'm not too worried...two weeks is a long time to trickle in and we do have the active members to do it. I just did the sweep at an inopportune time...my bad for procrastinating on that a few weeks.
Had a huge scare at work today. The university wrote in saying that my driving privileges have been revoked. Effectively ending my time here. Several phone calls in and it turns out that I was revoked because they didn't process my paperwork...despite giving it to them. So now I'm in a weird limbo where everyone is pretty sure that everything is fine.
Assuming that goes well, I was told that I'm getting a raise. A 1.5% raise may not sound like much, but the university has not given any raises in 6 years and I expected no raise at all for the entire duration of this job. So fun all around.
Cheers,
Daggertooth

Just got back from a much needed trip to Saugeen Shores. Saugeen Shores is a group of cities in Nothern Ontario. My father's friend let us use his cottage for the long weekend. It's a little run down, but honestly the trip was the most fun I've had in a long time. Most of our time was spent around the campfire shooting the ****, drinking beer and roasting wieners.
Other than that, High School is nearly over for me. Finally ready to move on to the next chapter of my life. Pretty exciting.
None of us do bro, but how long can us few hold 'er up??
They may be able to take our thread away, but they cannot take away the fact that we are |Called|.
We might go out, but never down.

I wasn't going to interject, but I have to say this....the CALLED died during the forum drama times! There was a disconnect and people saw what transpired in a very ugly public display. This gave a very poor perspective of what the CALLED was/is. Add that to the fact that most of the active members are mods or admins, some people might see that as intimidating or a turn off.
Believe it or not, there are still a large number of users on this forum that don't agree with the current administration....there could be a correlation.
I have no bad blood with any of you. I hope that this isn't dissolved. I still consider many of you as friends.

Damn it, Ria, you made me look up that French. The I felt silly because I know I have said that before, just never read it.
So, stop that or something.
Honestly, if the Called thread were to close at this point I wouldn't bat an eye. I have friends on here that I will still be friends with years from now. I need to do a better job about checking in every now and then, but that's a complaint even my local friends could make.
Thread or no thread, ya'll are stuck with me.
How are the boys these days, Ria?
@LN Saugeen Shores sounds like it was a blast do you have any pictures for us? Congrats on the approaching end to the high school period of your life. Any plans on university work?
@Daggs Congrats on the raise, good sir. I'm sure they'll get the parking situation resolved with all due haste if they're willing to give you more money to work there. It would be terribly backwards to give someone the first pay increase in years only to ask them to walk to get to work.
I'm enjoying the first few days of quiet after a busy semester. School is almost done for me as well, and I'm hoping that I can have better luck than some of my friends and their chosen fields.
Birthday was last Sunday. Got both seasons of Game of Thrones on Blu-Ray and my cousin and her boyfriend got me Soul Sacrifice so I'd play it with them. I bought myself a giant bean bag chair for my gaming room. When I say giant, I mean this.
Other than that, not much is new. Still single and dating, still doing some random internet work, and still somehow getting by with odd jobs and relative self employment. Life's right where I want it.

In all honesty....the CALLED has had its issues for many years...but we were always able to trudge through it. My honest opinion is that all of us have grown up and matured and reality has reared its head into our lives. Family and careers are all major factors that have given everyone less time to post on a card game forum.....especially for many of you that don't even play anymore.
Recruitment of youth was never a driving factor....that allows for longevity...much like a college fraternity...replace one member with a younger member than can take your place after a couple years.

Hey, I wasn't the one chased out Alex + with a pitchfork. Townos only ripped us once or so. I think Rancored elf recovered from his slight midlife crisis. And BLOD was only slightly completely self absorbed and obnoxious...but we were bound to have drama there when he broke up with sterling. Though I guess Bel left more because of Cyan than anyone else.
I wouldn't call us dead, but the Called has been known for waves of prominence. We had our Glory days a time or two. Rancored Elf, Urza's seddatives, bellowing fool, and even BLOD made a core group way back when. I don't remember if that was the first or second wave of power...but there's a lot of history that none of us really remember. Even our archive is missing about a dozen members who once were called. When we moved over here we had another wave of power with Sakabatau, Rancored elf, Ria, myself, JJ, Belgareth, and a few others making a strong showing. That cracked pretty hard sometime in 2005 or 2006....lost a fourth of the clan if I remember right. Currently we are slow and not a single one of us was here when the clan was founded. Just looks like more of the same.... with time ebbing and flowing as it will.
I went on a fishing trip this weekend. Flew out to Minnesota on Thursday and on Friday drove up to the boundary waters with three friends. We rented canoes and rowed to an island to make camp. The next day we hiked over three overland passes and rowed threw three lakes before making camp again. Sunday we did more of the same, while exploring three more lakes and camping on another island. Monday I canoed back to the outfitters and flew home.
It was a fishing trip, with every night casting a line and hoping to hook dinner. Between the four of us we caught maybe 40 fish, with several Pike, Walleye, Small Mouth Bass, and Large Mouth Bass. We ate steaks, salted ham, and all the fish a person could ever hope for. Great eating and good company...it was a very refreshing trip.
Cheers,
Daggertooth

But rises again, harder and stronger.
I need to do something other than watch Game of Thrones and read Feast For Crows. That's basically been my week thus far.
I dunno, it's pretty late in the week to change direction now. . . try for a clean break after the weekend
Is it just me or did Dagg put us on notice and run? Sabatour!!

Also, props for your fair assessment of how this clan has always rolled.
We are a part of MTGS history, we are ingrained in the history. Even if we die, we will live on.
