|MGS| year evaluation !
The year 2007 was a very sparkling and successful year for |MGS|.
Everything started of course with the birth of |MGS| in the beginning of 2007.
Allekeskey founded |MGS| and Havoc, Sentinel, Coffee, Rieekan, Murky & Gazza followed him.
Slowly but steady |MGS| started to grow. The first six months |MGS| recruited mainly in Ravenshield and grew to a number close to 15 active members.
Our websites kept getting better and more professional. Leaders and members were working and gaming round the clock to make |MGS| a better place.
This also took a toll which landed |MGS| in a small dip right after the summer holidays. This is normal for all organisations and Clans, but because it was our first year and also because we started so enth

ousiastic and energetic the blow came harder than expected. To counterbalance this some tried to work even harder and others just let their heads down which of course triggered some more irritation. This resulted in some casualties or at least some injuries.
But with the hard work of Leaders, Staff and members we got on top of it all again.
At the moment when we are entering 2008 |MGS| is thriving again, its sparkling full of energy like it did when |MGS| first started. This is an excellent beginning of the new year, we have a record of 33 full members and also a record of 7 trial members.
The future is looking bright for |MGS| but we must not forget how we got here and what we had to do and sacrifice to get here. First of a big thank you to the members of the first hours Allekeskey, Havoc, Sentinel, Coffee, Rieekan, Murky, Gazza, and also to all other members that joined thereon and put in a hell of a load of work and money. Special notation for Wappa.
Games
|MGS| started in 2007 with Ravenshield being the main game, SWAT4 and Vegas never caught on to many members. GRAW did have some popularity amongst the members but never got even close to Ravenshield. GRAW2 came out after that, and for a short space of time was close to, or even par with RVS players. In the background however have a small hardcore group playing Command and Conquer games, this group grows with one member each month, not through new recruits but mainly because full members wanna try out some new games. Recently COD4 has made a well addition to the Squads maingameslist. In the first few months it has passed GRAW & GRAW2 and new trial members are flowing in quicker than they ever did with Ravenshield. Our two main games we recruit on are RVS and COD4 now.
After the summer holiday we had to close the Internal 2vs2 competition because of planning and dedication problems. The Juggernauts were leading the competition undefeated but unfortunately could not play on to become champions because of the competition being cancelled.
This of course did not mean all competitions were dead and so an even bigger and more challenging competition was presented as the first inter-clan related competition organised by |MGS|, the MISC. The competition will start in February 2008, and 10 teams will be playing in the MISC.
We are also putting |MGS| forward to the TGL for COD4, as we believe that this will in turn get more activity and also more members joining because they have something they can fully compete in.
Donations
|MGS| has been ambitious from the start and wanted to offer their members the best there was in the gaming world, this meant, fast, not laggy, servers, a top class website and first class service.
This all of course comes with a price which has to be payed.
|MGS| runs on voluntary donations to keep the squad running. We can now depend on almost 25 members to take a share out of the £ 112,- that has to be payed monthly, but remember that when |MGS| started we only had a couple members and they took a lot bigger share to keep the servers running. Thanks to them we got some of the top popular servers at Ravenshield and COD4 this is getting us more trial members who can share the burden with us.
But a huge THANK YOU goes out to all mayor contributors of |MGS|: Allekeskey, Wappa, Gazza, Naf-onrop, Havoc, etc. etc. etc.
Divisions
Recently MGS has divided into two divisions, one specially for COD4 and another mainly for RVS and other possible clan games. COD4 is a fast growing community in MGS and with a dedicated website this will help facilitate a growing need within MGS.
The new organisation into 2 divisions also lead to some reshuffling of the command structure, Coffee is heading the RVS and other Games division and Havoc is heading the COD4 division both assisted by Co-leader Wappa and a fine staff MGS members.
Statistics
At the moment |MGS| has 33 full members, divided over 2 divisions.
Six of them are currently inactive because of personal issues.
We have currently 7 trial members, which is a new |MGS| record.
We currently have 2 RVS 24/7 servers, 2 COD4 24/7 servers & TeamSpeak for the all round gaming experience.
The website counts 63 registered members which could have been bigger if we wouldn’t have had 2 website changes in the last year.
Also we had to say goodbye to 4 of our full members, they had to leave because of personal issues, we wish them well and hope they are doing fine.
|MGS| keeps on growing and we hope it will continue to be the great family it is.
Regards |MGS| Leaders and Staff.
