Welcome all, to the announcement for one of our first clan events!

This will be a test of marksmanship, cunning and efficiency. A test of calculated murder, and a willingness to prove yourself master of the crosshairs.

The frame you take will not matter, for no abilites will be used.

Powers usage in any way is grounds for disqualification, only skill will keep you alive.

The only weapon you may bring is a Rubico. This is one of the finest sniper rifles in the game, and will set everything to a base-line.

Only headshots will count, and it will be in runs of three players at a time, with a necros judge/ref for support and to make sure everything is kept on the up and up.


These are the only mods allowed on your Rubico for the event:

• Split Chamber (rare)
  
• Vital Sense (rare)
  
• Point Strike (common)
  
• Stormbringer (uncommon)
  
• Infected Clip (uncommon)
  
• Cryo Rounds (uncommon)
  
• Hellfire (uncommon)
  
• Rupture (common)
  
• Fast Hands (common)
  
• Speed Trigger (uncommon)
  
• Charged Chamber (uncommon)

No punch-through mods, one shot, one kill.

If you lack these mods, please let an officer or Lediard know, many of the higher mastery players have multiples and will be more than happy to get one into your hands.

Many of these mods are easily farmable, or fairly common (even the rares) so newer players will be able to participate.


The round will last for 15 minutes, in the interest of this not taking forever to do, and the most headshots out of the group of three players will go on to the next round.


Depending on how many people sign up, so this is subject to change, there will be semi-finals, finals and then the top prize.

Semi-finals prizes will likely be Prime sets, or small pat awards, depending on what the winner chooses.

Finals prizes will be larger plat rewards

Grand prize will be a complete set of arcanes, which will be announced soon.

I've had a huge think, and have come up with a sort of mission statement for us. We are lost at the moment because the game has seemed to largely done away with events, which is what we've centered around for so long. I broke this down into three questions; Why do we still exist, how do we keep going, and what exactly are we anyway?

=================
Why do we still exist?
=================

We made this clan to succeed in events. That was our goal, first and foremost in the beginning. As the game developed, that became less likely but not impossible. We fought tooth and nail for the victories we acquired, and I do not regret for a second the silver, bronze or even lack of trophies from past events. We earned these fairly; by participating, not juking the system.

The question I find myself facing lately is "Why do we still exist?". Why is QE still alive, why does it still thrive and now even start to expand? We believe in our own destiny. We believe that together, we can push boundaries and turn the game into something fun again. If everyone is enjoying themselves, then we have succeeded. We believe that we encompass some of the most skilled and veteran players in the game today. We believe in the community we have created and that it will thrive into the future because we will make it do so.

===================
How do we keep going?
===================

Once, we were one clan. Roughly 70 people, constantly in flux from users going dormant and being replaced by new ones. Very few of us have survived the life of the clan, and subsequently it has become something bigger than all of us. It is a great space-born behemoth we have grown from a mewling cub into something that encapsulates all of us. Recently, it has given birth to smaller clans that now orbit it like children, QC and QD, what started off as projects, even experiments, and now carry a life-force of their own. They have yet to discover their own identity and I was a fool to impose it. I realize now that they must grow organically or fail under the weight of over-expectation and inevitable disappointment. They must be allowed to discover their own destiny, just as QE did.

We are also joined by Xenosha, a kindred spirit with a similar history and with the same goals. They have recognizes us as a twin, a sort of Yang to QE's Ying. I see them as a sibling to QE, and I welcome them as an entity that not only brings so much into the war-band, but who can be relied upon to stand with us without hesitation.

We have turned from being a singular to a family, no longer just QE but now the Continuum. This is a special term, lost often in the nuances of language. It is an eternal continuation, a never ending cycle of existence. It is not just a name, but a declaration. It announces that we will never fade, never die, never retract into our own fold. We will endure and push ourselves into ever greater excellence and glory. It signals to our allies that we have grown to something greater than before, and tells our enemies that we have matured into something different, something never seen before.

===================
What Are We, Anyway?
===================

We are the Continuum, and we are made of a great many parts that come together as a much larger hole. We are diplomats and artists. We are poets, leaders and warriors. We fight for different reasons; to liberate, to dominate, to kill. We teach the error of ways, the price for failure and that the honour of the Tenno is inviolate.

Many of our peers do not follow these tenants, they fight for profit, for lust for violence, for vengeance. They close their mind to the majesty of our calling and thus are lost.

The Continuum is a beacon of light for those lost in the dark, in the void. We represent something great, something stable and something honourable. We will be pressed but will not break. We will be praised but will be humble. We are honour, we are patience and wisdom. We are heroes and legends. I see the light in all of us, and encourage you all to see in each other. Every single person has greatness to achieve and great aspects of themselves to add to the Continuum.

Build it with me. Follow me, Tenno. Awaken.

Our honour demands no less.

Its that time, ladies and gentlemen. We are going to be hosting in-clan raids and I will require information from people who are interested.

In the comments section below, please follow this template:

1) In-game name
2) Time when you can raid
3) Prefered warframe
4) Previous raid experience
5) Willing to lead the raid with said experience - (yes/no)
6) Ability to use teamspeak - (talk, just listen, not at all)

Additional comments: (any additional comments)

The info gathered will help me be able to know who will be able to participate in the raid and to what degree, and what times will work best for everyone to organize the runs at.

So I missed the meeting on June 20th... my computer exploded and my sister's wedding reception was that day anyway. My bad.

Next meeting is a go, the date is Friday July 3rd, 8pm EST. I made it the friday and not the saturday as apparently most Americans have something to do that day, not clear on what it is exactly. ;)

Anyway, I will for sure be at that one, and again sorry for missing the last meeting. I hope you guys at least got together and hung out on the teamspeak server for a bit :)

The event I had been expecting just began.

We are supporting Nef Anyo in this event, make sure that you do not assist the other side as it will negatively affect our overall score.

The clan has rules against this and they will be enforced during the event.

Edit: Turns out picking a side was unnecessary, so carry on as you would.
