The clan was originally formed by
JohnMac the very first week Farcry was released in the UK, needless to say he was a big SAS fan, but not at all scottish or manly sounding on TS, a decent bloke though non the less.
Originally the clan website was
http://www.22ndsas.com. The clan had around 8 members by the time I was asked to join, some names I remember upon joining are:
JohnMac,
Games,
Nova,
Sabre,
Plank,
TheFink (who talked me into joining) and
Puff. The clan played Farcry in clanbase.
Several months later
JohnMac had to leave the clan due to a heavy workload but let us keep the website (he was the owner of the domain and web hosting plan). During his absence
English (Jez) and
Turnip joined our clan, followed by the late
Si_ (Breakz) on 26th Nov 2004 and
GobyFly on 4th Jan 2005.
On 15th Jan 2005
JohnMac came back, followed 2 days later by our new member -
Godswork/Godz (This was the 1st time he joined!!!!!).
Farcry patch v1.31 was then released.
On 17th March 2005
Jasper joined the clan as our new sniper, unfortunately 3 days later on the 20th March 2005
Turnip (a major pwner!) left our clan to play at a higher level - he joined the
Ghost clan who where top of the clanbase ladder.
On the 1st April 2005 several members left the clan:
JohnMac,
Nova,
Godswork. They formed the CRW clan (counter revolutionary warfare clan). The split seemed to be down a difference of opinion in the structure/running of/direction of the clan. At the time
Sabre stuck with the 22ndSAS clan, however later left to join the CRW clan.
There was some bitterness between certain members over the split, all I can say is that most of the trouble was caused by
Nova talking [sh*t] and making up rumours....chewing on JohnMacs ear which pissed him off causing him to give us 2 weeks notice that he would be taking the website off us (and who could blame him from what Nova was telling him). It turns out Nova still had root access to JohnMacs web hosting plan and was 'hacking' into our forum database to see what we doing...and Im sure he deleted some stuff too - the prick!
This left us (or rather me) with a short period of time to sort out a new domain (
http://www.22ndsas.info) and web hosting plan. At this point in time, I guess English would be considered the main man in charge of the clan - even though it wasnt structured like that - he was just a natural leader and took over, he was in charge of the clan funds....until BF2 came along and he joined the Evil Fruits gang...whereby
Porky took over his role of shaking the tin.
Zux,
Porky and
Hervig joined the clan on 22nd April 2005.
There are many members who have joined and left during this time, such as
Kampfschwein (german for "war pig") and her hubby (cant remember his name....
was it Zoltan?...
Wotan) and
Duron (all 3 of them Germans), plus many more awesome characters. I cant remember when Hanz joined, but I think he was about when Turnip was here???
