Honestly, I have no idea how hard it is to get a scrim going on.

I've had 2 separate clans IM me over Steam Friends to scrim tonight, and guess what?  Out of the active members that were on tonight, we couldn't get 5 together.

Yes, we had some people that were not feeling well, and others were ready to go, but getting 5 together seems to be our problem.

After some clan drama, a person that I will not name signed off, and then another followed, and we were stranded afterwards.

Don't go around banging drums and crashing cymbals for others to scrim only to leave for no reason, or a petty reason.  Leaves a bad taste in other clanmates' mouths.  Plus, it's not like you have to be in the same vent channel as the other clan...  shoot, during the scrim you don't even have to acknowledge their existence if you don't want to.  This is the same person that wanted to learn the map and practice it for the match tomorrow, and backed out with a BS reason.

So if you guys are all fired up to challenge PHXX to a scrim, make sure you do your little dance and make a little prayer before you send us the first IM, because we might not have five.

I deleted the "unnamed person"'s reply, as it was meant for me to read, and I've read it. Nobody else needs to see it.

Those that have seen it, just disregard this whole ordeal.

I didn't delete your reply out of spite, I deleted it because honestly, nobody outside of our clan, actually, nobody outside of those involved last night, really need to know the full story behind it... I would have preferred for you to PM me if you wanted to reply or tell me something, but you posted here instead.

So... perhaps PM me if you want to talk? I honestly don't want to talk about this in the open.

I have no idea what makes last night different than tonight for you to explain anything on vent, other than around 24 hours having gone by?

Also, who replaced you when you left? Because if that was the case, we still would have had 5 and we would have scrimmed, but by the time I got done sending the demo in, there were only 3 left in the channel, and even if Window joined, we only had 4.

If you needed to pull me into a different channel or type it our over Steam Friends IM to talk, I'm down, I just hate it when people start something, then boom, they're gone and we're left with a trail of dust after they've burned rubber in my face.

2 minutes were all that I needed, and within those 2 minutes, we went from having 5 members that were ready to rock out with our socks out, to having 3 guys twiddling our thumbs. About the most excitement we got after we couldn't get a scrim going was that we laughed at some people's inability to maintain their cars, after hearing what Lucifer said when he joined.

Remember the "cry wolf" story? Tisk, tisk...
