 Super Bowl Sunday & all is quiet on the DLMC front today so I'm taking this opportunity to bring up a couple of news items. - We have had some great encounters recently with various players, all of who have the necessary skills & crew compatibility needed to make a good DLMC crew member. The one major snag these folks are facing is that they're under the age requirements as mandated by the DLMC Rules & Regulations. After some discussion, it has been decided to start up a sister branch of the Death Lords MC that, while still enforcing many of the same rules set forth by the DLMC, will waive the age requirement & allow players under the age of sixteen to become a part of the Death Lords. I introduce to you....the Death Lord Nomads MC!  Pro Hitman has assumed the duties of President for the DLMC Nomads, with KSI Unforsaken assisting him as Vice-President. These two have been given the responsibilities of recruiting only the best young players today & weeding out the annoying squeakers & patch hunters from the players who want to be part of a MC AND understand the expectations of the crew. I ask everybody to add DLMC Nomad members to their friend list to prevent unnecessary killing; their tags will read "DLMC" but will not be identified through the main Chapter. Also, thanks to Rockstar Games patching the ability to upload custom emblems, we at this time cannot use the awesome patch shown above. For now, DLMC Nomad members will be identified with a red fist logo. Make your own jokes here. If anybody can figure out how to skirt this issue, please let me know. - The other main piece of business is the return of acedia to the DLMC. This has stirred up some pretty heavy controversy as acedia's previous departure led to the collapse of our PSN Chapter. A few DLMC members have openly expressed their disapproval with Johnny & mine's decision to allow him back & I can completely understand why given the circumstances. However, Johnny & myself discussed at great length the positives & negatives & decided to roll the dice & take a chance. I'm pretty well known to be the tree hugging hippie of the crew & always try to remain pretty open-minded about things. Plus, acedia received what I have referred to as "GTA Karma" by finding himself in a position where he was removed from his own crew, the Dark Jesters, amidst a power struggle, finding himself with no friends & no crew. I say that's pretty heavy payback & I'm willing to give him a second chance......a shot of redemption, if you will. I politely ask that all DLMC members who oppose this decision to refrain from any negative comments or digs on the Social Club or here. It does cast us in a negative light when rival crew members read our page (and we know they do!) & see internal squabbling. acedia has been notified of his position here & his need to prove to us his loyalty to the DLMC. PSN Chapter President kingszricky has also been notified of acedia's return & will work with him during his reintroduction to the crew. - I anticipate another crew cleanup tonight. I highly defend my opinion that we're a better crew in spite of being a smaller crew & it has shown in recent weeks. There's still too many members without their gamer tags visible and/or have been inactive. I understand that not everybody uses the Social Club, is unaware of the forums, or has stopped playing GTA V altogether & while I couldn't blame anybody in those circumstances, it's still important to remain a tight-knit crew, which has made us one of the most well-known MC clubs in GTA. I will discuss with Johnny further regarding this but it's best to expect our numbers to drop again. I'll let kingszricky handle the PSN side but I don't expect any departures unless somebody does not have their gamer tag visible. That's it for me. Please remember that the two NFL teams playing in the Super Bowl tonight are from the two states in the USA that have legalized marijuana.  themister420 Vice-President |

Indeed, I, being the president of this elite chapter, care not if anyone is underage just as long as you are a Badass in everything you do! Or you are cool and i can teach you to be a badass one of the two.

Hear, hear to a purge. If we need to cull from the herd, we'll be the better for it.

My opinion of the future - I feel like the sister chapter was started with a great meaning behind it, but I believe that it is more harmful to the crew than helpful. There is no bridge between the gap of the two. For one, when we are all in a session together, if we are not friends with all the nomads, then all the nomads will show up as a white dot. In which case we all know what that means. Second there is no goal for the nomads. Lets take for example if you was was 15 1/2 and joined the nomads. Well in 6 months, when you was of age, you get promoted to the DLMC. Why would you join? The past 6 months was spent with the nomads. All of your friends would be in the nomads. There is no trophy to be concurred. I think that the best thing that we can do as a chapter is to forget the nomad idea, which I think hitman has done an excellent job at creating, and kill the age limit on the crew. With the exception that in order to join you have to go through a trial period. I think that if we had a thread named "prospects" and listed a potential members username in it then the crew can take a week or so to meet the player and decide if they are worthy or not. Regardless of the age. I just think that our word, as members, should count as something. So if I vouched for a certain player then they should be given a chance to join. I don't think every player should have a say so in the matter. like maybe just the lieutenants or something could vote. I mean any topic could count as a positive or negative; squeaky voice, immature, too lame...etc... Just put the decision on the "trusted" members. I feel like this would benefit the crew because new crew members have something to strive for, compared to now when all they have is "once you're 16 you can join the old people." No one wants that. This is just random thought that I think would help us grow stronger. I shared my thoughts with MR. Mister but I wanted to share them with you all. - My name is Bravo and I approve this message

A Prospect Chapter is a great idea I liked the idea in DJMC just not that it was used as power move against me lol anyway we had a week trail period that way we got to see what kind of players they were,,how active they were and if they were of age or mature enough to play with us.It also showed the prospects how we worked together,and to expect a brotherhood were you count on your brothers to kill anyone that dared kill you and that we were active and here to stay it was great way to screen out players.

Bravo, where was this idea before Nomads happened? I think there are certain drawbacks to a Prospect system, but all in all It would probably work better.

See thats what i said when he told me last night! His idea is probably the best one we could have done and im sitting here kicking myself for not thinking of it! Honestly i think the nomad idea shoud be dropped and just create a thread for new trial members. Much as that pains me to say since these last few days were all a trial and error run compared to bravos idea. But nonetheless its a fantastic idea. Dammit bravo where was this idea earlier!

At least the Nomads concept was just getting off the ground when Bravos chatted with me last night regarding this & not already an established chapter. Bravos really does present a lot of good points here as he did during our chat last night & these ideas should, in my opinion, be seriously considered.
