Anyways, whilst I was reading Duck's post about what the clan leader is/does, I thought it might be a good opportunity to point out to the new fellas that we have a clan slush fund and welcome any contributions. Dragonne is our treasurer, so if you have any questions regarding how to go about contributing, you can PM him, although there's possibly a thread about it all somewhere that I can't be bothered to find right now. The fund is used mainly to help finance Rage - it subsidises accommodation, booze, food, tickets etc for the weekend - but is also used to help out clan members in need (pc components for people who don't have the cash, transport costs to get people to Rage who otherwise couldn't go for example). We only used it once to buy a player from another clan, and decided against it in future since we got a dud.
There is absolutely no pressure in this regard, so please don't feel that I'm forcing this on any of you. Not everyone is in a position to donate, but everyone is entitled to benefit if they belong to the clan. Most of it goes towards good causes like getting Founders drunk at Rage so you can video them face planting into flowerbeds etc.
The main reason I wanted to mention the fund is to let everyone know that if they are considering missing Rage because of financial constraints, let us know and we might be able to get you there. PM one of the founders (we know you all have your respective favourites) and they will sort things out hush hush. Rage and the shenanigans surrounding it are what make the difference between a clan and a family. Once you put faces to the Mumble voices, things become a lot more... disturbing. It's totally awesome.
TL;DR
Come to Rage. It r baie kewl 2 meet evrywun. No cash? We might be able to help.
The slush fund details can be found here: http://www.grrr.co.za/showthread.php?234-GRRR-Slush-fund-account
Current contributions range from between R50 and R200 per month from the people that contribute. As j0nny said, I'd really encourage those that have the means to contribute what they can. It's thanks to the fund that we are able to have such a good party at rAge every year, and that we are able to get so many people attending.
