Anyway, my few cents about this:
I think there are 2 different mindsets/age groups forming in the clan: the Young, Up and Coming, Strong and Fierce and Fiesty group and then there is the Been there, done that group that just would like some fun time with friends/family and have moved past the fiercly competitive stage.
I am with Jarrod on this in how I feel about grrr and what it means to me. (Always has been that way.) Also, being the type of woman I am, my focus and feelings about you guys is a bit different in that I am a bit more protective over you all when it comes to you as a person as well as your emotional well-beings than your gaming abilities and I unfortunately 'waste' more energy being concerened about the human dynamics of the clan than I should sometimes. I also think I am way too old to be playing competitively now (it was awesome to have been part of it the one year and so glad that I had that opportunity). My priorities have also changed a bit in the last couple of years as so much has happened and been trying to sort out a lot of 'stuff'.
Can grrr function with 2 clearly distinct groups? I don't know. It can break up and dilute a clan's essence quite a bit when its split like that and I would hope that the wisdom and life experience of the older members will be strong enough to 'blanket' and protect that essence and deal with whatever issues come our way.
On the other hand its made me proud to see how hard you all worked to achieve what you had set out to and to see your commitment to each other and I will remain proud and support those who decide to want to be more competitive in their gaming.
Bottom line for me is that we are a family made up of same/different people who think same/different and want same/different things but we can manage to still be a unit and respect each other's point of views and needs and deal with whatever comes our way.
I don't want grrr to become too big and be just about serious competitive gaming. It loses the feel of family and caring and how on earth do I keep track of so many of you then?
