As of March 24th, 2008, theSyndicate has closed its doors.

The founders of the clan (EternalNewbie, Sopper, Tysplo and =WWIII=) decided that it would be best if the clan closed its doors. Due to inactivity and other issues the clan was no longer a fruitful investment of time or money. We did not wish to make this decision...but it seemed the only option we had. Efforts to increase activity and maintain populated servers were unsuccessful in the past 6 months.

If you donated money to tS the remaining funds will be distributed fairly after the final server payments are made. Those who donated more monthly will receive a fair portion of the returns. Please contact me if you are currently donating and wish to receive a portion of what (if any) is left over.

The closing of tS was not an easy decision or one made by one individual. The founders have been discussing this option for a while and were ALL in agreement for the closing of the clan. We apologize if the closing of tS has angered anyone. We did not wish to resort to these measures and wished to resolve the inactivity and server populations in greater depth. However, the 'i don't care' or 'no one can expect me to be active...I'd do what I want when I want' is not conducive to maintaining an active and competitive clan.

We also had conflict as 4 individuals were responsible for the donations which fueled the clan. Others did not seem to care about donating and only wished to use the servers at their leisure and not contribute with funds or by investing time. This led to some frustrations as those who contributed felt the process was unfair that 'few contributed to the gaming enjoyment of many'.

tS was originally founded on a 'casual gaming environment' with a laid back approach to online gaming. In folly this led to our inactivity issues as we couldn't expect people to be active while others were not. This and the conflict between those who wished to be competitive and those who enjoyed casual gaming often forced the clan to make conflicting plans and directions.

Again...our apologies for having to close tS. We had a long successful run and hope everyone enjoyed the trip as much as we did. Thank you.
