Does the Sun Dragon Clan have a future?

A few months ago I tried to change the direction of the Sun Dragon Clan, and have everyone who was active have a voice in what should be changed to have more active members. My thought was that if I made the changes on my own without any feedback from the members that I would be imposing my will on the clan and that I had no right to do that. What happened was no one had any opinions, no one wanted to do anything, and as of now I'm pretty much the only one still clanning.

By contrast let's look at Neko no Kessha (NNK); one of the few clans who has clan pride, active members, and a regular hunt. What's the difference? NNK doesn't have a complicated clan structure or many people in charge but what they do have is a clan leader willing to take charge and make decisions. That's what the Sun Dragon Clan needs, a leader who will say what his ideas are and how to make them a reality. A leader that people will want to follow and who will take their ideas and use them to make the clan better and stronger.

I do wonder if it's past the time where this should even be considered since there's no one to lead and I'd have to work essentially from nothing but how the Sun Dragon Clan used to be in the past and what I think it should be in the future. I don't think it should be up to one person but if I don't take the lead then no one will.

Accomplishments


After what felt like forever I reached 400 ranks with Higgrus. After exploring further in the Estuary and Rainforest, I wonder how I ever managed to survive with just 300 higgrus. Many times I've survived with only a little bit of health which means I would have fallen if I hadn't trained with Higgrus. It makes my previous assumption that I could avoid most or all danger by just having enough proximus as being naive and silly.

I may train more health in the future, but for now I'm getting a tad more radium until 100, and then getting enough AnDeux Faure until my Faustus is 400 since my healing speed is woefully inadequate at 300.


The next area of the Estuary has been released and it's incredibly awesome. Tons of folks to talk to, a new story with the Orga, new pinkish clothes, maybe even something new for mystics, and best of all there's a pier that needs fixing so the area will get even bigger. The folks who worked on this area definitely put a lot of love and care and it's gratifying to see.

Ansset came with us on our trip and I was glad he came because not only did he find a mystic illusion but he was able to get a cage and capture his very own parrot. It sits on his shoulder and makes a lot of noise but it still makes me a little jealous. As a pirate where is my parrot?

I want to write a long article about the Estuary but I'm afraid I have many other things to do today and can't spare the time. I will say that it's definitely a place that everyone should experience at least once.


Even Mujin-kun gets tired of the same look!

Finally I left Daimoth's clan and returned to the Sun Dragon Clan since he isn't clanning much or at all, isn't doing anything to expand the clan, and since only he did the inviting I didn't see any point to staying in it. Even though most clans are dead I'd rather have Sun Dragon Clan on my label than anyone else's.

Hello!

Hello!

On this journal I'll be describing the adventures of three exiles in the Lok'Groton island chain in the game of Clan Lord.
  • Jeanne: Bloodmage
  • Moon Kitty: Healer
  • Himitsu: Former Journeyman Mystic turned Fighter on the path to Ranger.
Unfortunately I must leave because I need to go sleep now, but I will write shortly about my many adventures.
