Skitee: Ok. Good evening.

 

Contaminated: Hola mi amigo

 

S: Hi, lol. What's your callsign in tanki, and which clan are you leader of?

 

C: I find it hard to remember... but let me try. I think it was something along the lines of... con- cont- oh Contaminated that's it! And I co-lead "Domination Clan" along with af6an4life and Alklines

 

S: Alright. So who are you guys? What is your clan? Can you explain a few things about who you are, and who your clan is for us?

 

пвамь СЯ

C: My clan is a group of friends that originaly came together on facebook. The four of us; Me, A_N_F_O, af6an4life, Alklines were the first ones in it. It started off as a small clan "soldaty", which aparently was 're-opened' according to Alklines. Soon me and af6an4life left and started Domination, later Alklines and a few members from Soldaty joined in. That is a bit about our history. As normally, we are a normal clan that is mostly balanced with m3/m3 users and some m2/m2 users. We participate in most clan competitions and wars as most clans do.

 

S: Alright. So why was it that you four created the clan?

 

C: It was an old idea I had. I planned to create a clan with A_N_F_O as the second leader so we can play together, but later Alklines invited us to Soldaty. The four of us became close friends but me and af6an4life didn't quite like Soldaty so we decided to start are own. Alklines, which was the leader of Soldaty eventually became a leader in Domination Clan. Essencially you can say that Domination Clan is Soldaty with a different name and new members... but we don't like to think of it that way. I don't really know the history of Soldaty because apparently the one I was in was 'Soldaty 2.0' technically speaking.

 

S: Ok. And what was the aim of the clan when you created it?

 

C: Simple. To have fun, and of course to DOMINATE !!!

 

S: What do you mean by dominating?

 

C: Winning battles, destroying other teams. One can't simply win a battle with a team full of randoms.

 

S: Agreed about that. Organisation and planning are neccessary. Anyway, what is it about DC that you think is special from the other clans?

 

C: It's definitely our community. No group of people can be the same. Most of us live in the USA and Canada and are below the age of 18... we joke around often. We love to have fun but sometimes get lazy. Our tanks are just as any normal clan, though we have a destinctive hate for Isida's. I noticed we also have many railgun users in the clan, so you can say a lot of the clan are fans of long range combat... if you include the shafts and thunders.

 

S: Alright - I personally count shafts and thunders in long range combat, I don't know about you - but I do think most people agree with me. Anyway, about DC: You're a relatively new clan, yet you've already become quite high up in the clan charts. What's been the secret to your success?

 

C: Organization! Most people could agree that I am over-organized within the clan. I always talk to members and give advice to everyone. We also have a lot of members. Primarily because when we started most of my friends and ex-soldaty members joined instantly. We were soon up to 40 members in a few weeks. After we re-opened DC, we had some trouble getting everyone to join back, but now we're at 37 members and stronger than we have ever been in the past. Also, because we started at a time when there were not many clans (Before the clan dance competition) we had a bit of a head start over the much newer 2-3 month old clans.

 

S: Uhuh, but you guys are still a lot younger than the other clans I've interviewed - SS, DD, IC, and TTS - yet you're right up there! I have to congratulate you guys on that. Anyway, what are your ambitions for DC in the future? What is the foundation that DC is built on and what do you want to build up in the future?

 

C: We eventually hope to be as strong as some of the other clans you mentioned, but we have lots of work getting 10 or so members earn their m3/m3 gear. We will soon start organizing clan wars and trainings. Hopefully we will be able to maintain being in the top five or six english clans for the rest of the time we are active. As always, we are playing to have fun, and as long as we have fun we will continue improving this clan and it's members.

 

S: Alright. Anyway, if there was one thing you think is important about a clan, what would it be?

 

C: It's friendship for sure. Without friendship there is no fun, there is no teamwork. You need teamwork to win battles, and if everyone constantly disagrees with others then we cannot work as a team effectively.

 

S: Well, that's all I've got time for today. Thanks for the interview and very sorry it could not have been longer. :(

First of all, I managed to interview ZMH00, the Leader of Clan Dare Devils, one of the stalwart clans of the English community. Here is what he had to say about his clan.

 

skitee: Good day. Thank you for being able to take the time out to talk with me today. What is your callsign?

 

ZMH00: ZMH00

 

S: And what is the clan that you represent?

 

Z: Dare Devils

 

Лучшие

 

S: All right. So, about Dare Devils: What is your history? Were you the founder of Dare Devils, or was it someone else?

 

Z: We have four founders for this clan. One of the founders created the clan and the other three founders made clan to improve. Thus, we have four founders to be strong clan.

 

S: And who were the four founders?

 

Z: Molina, Kozayya, Afghani, phituankiet

 

S: Ok. And why did you guys create your clan? What was the aim of the clan when it was created?

 

Z: When we created our clan, there was not many strong clans in english community. There was only one strong good clan at that time (Shadow Strikers). We dreamed to make another strong clan like SS. And we hoped to get stronger english clan. That was our dream for making our clan.

 

S: So about SS: When DD was created, there was only one clan - Shadow Strikers, which was by far and away the strongest clan around. What would you say to help all the tankmen planning to create new clans but are put off by the strength of the clans at the moment?

 

Z: I want to say that no one can help or no one can put off. Creating clan is good for English clan community. But it is not easy to create clan. As all know, many clans were created and closed just in one or two months. Just very few clans were survive and still stand for long time. So, I want to say that creating clan is not that much easy and you have to rely yourself. No one can help you or no one can force you to die unless yourself.

 

S: So what do you think was it that made your clan succeed when other clans had failed? I remember those times, and I remember all of the other clans which were created to rival SS - none of them managed to succeed and all died fast. What was it, you think, about yourselves that managed you guys to succeed and still be around up till today?

 

Z: We value loyalty more than any other aspect in a player. We prefer to get loyal member since we recruit new members. We got a lot of loyal members. That made our clan improve and stand strong for a long time. We prefer to recruit new players rather than members of other clans. We recruited new players who had not much experience about clans. We took them to our clan. We taught them about clan things and other. So we got their loyalty. For most members, DD was their first and last clan.

 

S: So you say that loyalty is the most important thing about a clan and what gave you success? That's certainly a very good virtue to have in a clan. Would you say that if you had to say one thing that set your clan apart from all the others, that thing would be loyalty, or another aspect of your clan life? If there was one thing different about DD from the other clans - from your perspective - what would it be?

 

Z: Yeah. Loyalty gave us success. Another aspect thing is activity. We prefer active players who play a lot. If we saw strong active players who has loyal to our clan, we took them to clan. If they are really active, we can help them improve. They play and earn crystals to improve their garage. We also help them to earn. So they improve fast and we get strong, loyal members.

 

S: Do you think that clans can survive with disloyal members?

 

Z: Of course not. You need loyal members. The important thing to survive your clan is having loyal members. Your clan can't survive with disloyal members. They may leave your clan one day, and your clan may die that day. When one clan is falling down, a lot of members leave this clan. We already saw some clan members leaving same time. So you need at least some loyal members. Everybody want to stay in strong clan. All want to stay in better place. What thing make them to stick in weak new clan? These things are loyalty, friendship, familiarity. We loved our clan, whether our clan was strong or not. We wanted to make our clan strong when we saw others were stronger than us. We didn't leave this clan and didn't join to better clan. We just tried to make our clan strong like them. If you get some members with this soul, you will surely get strong clan one day.

 

S: Mhmm. Earlier, you said that activity was important as well. How active do you consider "active" members to be?

 

Z: We like active players who usually play four or five hours everyday, who come to chat everyday and play together with others. So we consider active. We got many active players who rank fast and who can earn many crystals in few months.

 

S: Ok - that's certainly a long time for some people, and it's clear that you are a very ambitious clan. Having now been able to have caught up with SS and been equal with them in strength - according to most people in the community, it seems - do you have any further ambitions?

 

Z: I have further ambition to be strong clan in the whole tanki community. Our clan is strong enough for english clan community. But I want more. I want our clan to be strong clan for the whole Tanki community (Both russian and english clans). I want good clan rating in Tanki official league and championship. We even hope to be champions one day. :D

 

S: Ok, those are very big ambitions, and I wish you all luck in fulfilling them. It will certainly be a great thing for the English community if one of "our" clans manages to win a championship! For the short-time, however, do you have any clans which you have a strong rivalry with?

 

Z: Yeah, we have strong rivalry with two clans. One is our good component clan SS and one is our friend clan TTS. They are also strong and they have good experience, skill, and other things like our clan has. So we get them as our good competitors. There are other clans that will surely imrpove in future. They will also be our competitors. But for current situation, we like to compare with those two clans that have same strength with us.

 

S: Uhuh, and I've noticed that when you have fights with TTS or SS, they are always close fights. I wish you all luck in defeating them in the future, and in defeating the Russian clans as well! As a final word, would you like to give any thanks to anybody who has benefitted your clan greatly over the months?

 

Z: I like to give thanks to all my members .Especially my friends Molina, Afghani, phituankiet, New_dude007 and BlackBoomb. We can't get strong clan and we can't surive longer without these guys. We love each other like real family and we stick together for our clan. And thanks to all members who are loyal to our clan and stick together with us long time.

 

S: Thanks a lot for telling us a bit about your clan, and I wish you all luck for the future!

 

Z: Thanks to you too. :)
