Greetings,
Let me tell you the story of Ascian. We started back in march this year. Back then I didn't really have anything in particular to do, and I felt like getting involved in something. So I started what we at first referred to as a "Neckbeard Gaming Community" by creating a thread on /v/. It was actually quite successful and we came up with the name Ascian (which means shadowless, it's a bit hipster-ish, I know) and I bought the domain "ascian.me". We were, and still are, using Skype as our main method of communication. Slowly people started dropping off and getting "dropped off" (kicked). We still had some core members, though, most of which are still left. Then in august, I think it was, we did another mass recruitment. We got a lot of new members, and of those the majority got kicked within the first few days or dropped off after a while, but we still got a few more core members.
We recently started a blog (ascian.me/blog) for gaming news. It actually did get quite some success and we earned some money from it that will be used to buy servers.
Now we are about 10 core members. By “core member” I mean a member that is active and online mostly every day. Most of us live in Europe (I actually purchased the domain ascian.eu, it might be useful), but we welcome people from nearly anywhere as long as they aren't faggots (unwanted scum, we'll know when we talk to them) and can speak decent English.
Now, we come to the point of this thread. We still have our core member base, but the community has stagnated a little bit. Well, not stagnated, but it would be nice to have some fresh people come in. As we are a little bit picky with the type of people we allow in (we don't just pick random teenagers off the streets because they like Halo), getting new members is a bit troublesome. That is why I am posting here.
What do we have to offer?
Well, we like to discuss all kinds of things, preferably vidya-related, and then play some bro-op. We don't really have the numbers to regularly play anything but bro-op. Of course, if our member-count was to increase, things could change.
We have Skype-calls most evenings, so it would be a bonus if you are comfortable with talking to other human beings using your voice, but it is not required.
Are you interested? Fill in the form at http://ascian.me/join
(we won't be too picky with the invites right now, we'll just kick the trash if needed)
