Origins
In early 2004, a fellow by the name of Hiqpo took the leading role in what was a band of skilled mercenaries, and came up with the name 'Future of Old Style'. The clan's high requirements would have it effectively wresting the #1 rank from among a multitude of other Finnish clans on its opening day.
Fast forward 10 years, and the progressive declining of the clan scene had seen nearly the entire Finnish clan scene to its grave. In 2014, when Fools customarily went to sleep for the summer, it consisted of the scene's remaining more or less active members. For its 11th year, the clan set out to enjoy the increased amount of action the introduction of the CWA would bring about.
The 11th Year
During fall of 2014, we did just that. Given the limited amount of clans in the scene, we actively fought Vitality, Damage Inc, Divine Forces and Team Trinity, netting a total win ratio of 74% for the period, and later participating in the Holiday Tournament with high success. In the wilderness, the time was marked with RoT intervening in all of our fights by crashing the opponent and generally causing us a headache.
Then, an upset took place in the main-clan scene. DI and DF were not happy with the treatment they were receiving from RoT, decided VR was the lesser evil and finally overthrew the former from its untouchable position. Fools, with its single-digit number of shared members with RoT, immediately became a clan that most of the clan scene would either avoid fighting (or in VR's case, crash).
Come spring 2015, clans would skirt around the subject when asked for fights, and (despite countermeasures) bear lasting grudges over things that we either had little control over, or that were petty enough that they would quickly have been overlooked, had they been committed by a more appealing (= easier-to-beat) opponent. From more perspectives than our own, it looked like reasons not to fight us were aplenty and readily used. It was apparent that whether clans wanted to simply forget Fools existed, or actively starve us to death, we wouldn't be getting fights from them for as long as they had easier foes to replace us with.
With most older (in 07) clans out of the question, we turned to ask newer arrivals that had come with the advent of F2P. It was to no avail, because again, they would rather repeatedly fight the clans that avoid us rather than us, since our organisation and levels are unequivocally 'too good' for them. Doesn't matter if they pull over 20 more than us in PvP, or are offered a 5–10-man advantage in CWA; the answer is still no.
The Impending Outcome
Today, with our 11-year-anniversary-battle against DI (one of the very few brave clans) behind us, Fools retires for the summer once more.
It's ultimately going to be up to the clan scene, whether fall of 2015 sees the return of a clan that is still ignored, driven to a corner, and eventually forced to choose between 'honor' and staying alive – or a clan that will bring welcomed variety and challenge to the GMT scene.
