I'm awake & you should be too.......unless you partied too hard last night, then sleep it off.
- I personally had quite the awesome time yesterday riding with both XBL & PSN chapters, & it was nice to see everybody working together & having fun. It reminded me that we here at the DLMC can still cut loose & not be so serious all the time, which tends to boost morale. Of course, we're still war-mongering, rival crew slaying, bad-ass mofos who can handle business when necessary, but it's always OK to take a step back sometimes & remind ourselves that it's alright sometimes to not be so uptight.
- It is with great sadness that we were informed of the resignation of bravosworld recently. Bravos cited numerous reasons for his departure & has decided to venture on his own. It is worth noting that he has left with great honor & nothing but respect for us & the Rules & Regulations we have established & that he will remain a strong ally of ours. It's a bit sad for me as Bravos was one of the coolest guys on the XBL Chapter & always was there to assist the DLMC. He especially was, if not THE main driving force, one of the fathers for the creation of the Prospects program & always had good ideas for the better of the crew. He will still be hanging with us so please be cool & treat him as if he was still in the crew.....unless he becomes a dick to you, then shoot him right in the ass. Love ya, Bravos!
- The icing on the cake for Bravos was what appears to be R*'s decision to patch the ability to snipe somebody out of the tank they are trolling in. This has hampered our ability to neutralize these fools. This was discussed during last night's crew meeting on XBL, as well as how to now handle this situation. Recently, several members have called for allowance to use tanks for defense against other tank users, & with everybody losing the best method to end tank rampages, this would seem to be the best & only solution.
I myself am VERY anti-tank & we have prided ourselves on being good enough to not have to stoop to that level. However, battles against tank users are costly, & the loss of money, be it for ammunition, vehicles obtained after being destroyed, or medical bills, adds up. Different methods were discussed & we will set up a private session in the immediate future to test these theories out. However, I have proposed that while the No-Tank rules will continue to apply, the DLMC (with authorization from higher-ranked members) will allow the use of tanks FOR SELF-DEFENSE, which means that there has to be at least one tank being used by somebody in the lobby, with the intent of killing others. Johnny has admitted that he sees this as a slippery slope & that this may lead to possible tank trolling by fellow members but I assured him that I have nothing but the highest trust for our members so please prove me right. If I catch anybody using a tank for trolling purposes, I'm kicking them. We will keep you updated on this as we continue to investigate this situation.
- Also announced during last night's meeting was the promotion of DLMC members. King Belasko will now serve as XBL Chapter President, a deserving honor to one of our most loyal members, as well as one hell of a guy. He will assist with getting rides going & making sure things are going smoothly in the case that Johnny & myself are not available or online at the time. Countryboy & Bobafett have been promoted to XBL Lieutenants for their continuing support & activities with the DLMC, & Houghton_S & kingzricky have been promoted to PSN Representatives for their continuing support & activities with the DLMC as well. It also needs to be clarified that Johnny is DLMC Charter President & still makes all final decisions on both chapters in regards to crew business. I myself will continue to serve as DLMC Charter Vice-President & oversee both chapters on Johnny's behalf.
- Speaking of Johnny, his singing last night during our crew meeting led to Countryboy shooting himself in the head. Just saying.
