Clan Members

I wanted to list all the members that were part of the clan some where. I have a list of every member in the clan (which should be at least 99% right), but that isn't all that useful or interesting. There were many eras during the history of the clan: when we were just getting started, when we were matching almost every day, when we were the best clan in DP, when we weren't so good, etc. And not every member was equal in contribution to the clan. Some members were regularly matching every day while others only made it 10% of the time. Some members were in the clan for months and years while others were in it for a week. So it is more interesting, at least to me, to acknowledge the different eras of the clan and who were the main members associated with those eras. I would love to list the exact dates of membership for everyone, but that would be impossible for many reasons. In any case, here are the members that made up the DOM clan (and it's RiP predecessor).

The thing about DOM though is that it was more than just a matching clan, we were also friends and spent hours chatting on IRC every day. We enjoyed talking about sports, music, other games, etc. Even after DOM ended, I still played Anarchy Online, World of Warcraft, and Age of Conan with Fury. It was a family atmosphere. We argued and bickered a lot, but never in a way where any of the "essential" members got angry with one another. We also did not have any cumbersome leadership roles or any special rules. I trusted all our essential members to set and accept matches as if they were clan leaders. We were all equals.

So to me, DOM was two parts - one the competitive part that matched other clans and held one of the best (real and provable, at that time at least) records in DP of its time and the other family and friends part. To have been an essential member of DOM, in my mind, was to have been essential in both areas.

To that end, and I hesitate to even do this because it might upset someone... actually barely anyone is going to be reading this anyway so I don't care. These are the absolute essential DOM members - the members that made DOM special, the members that immediately come to mind when I think about DOM, and the members that, should we be able to "come back" yet again in full force, that I would ideally want back. This is DOM!

Absolute-Special-Essentials of DOM
Royalblood (Founder, main organizer, example-setter, unofficial-but-generally-acknowledged-leader)
Polishplaya/Methane (Co-founder and unofficial 2nd-in-command during his time)
Adrenaline (The guy that at times was not able to match as regularly as he would like, but who was always a blast to chat with online)
Fury (Arguably DOM's most skilled and active)
Jballz (Essential part of DOM's glory days when we were without-doubt the best clan in DP)
vj (Been with me in both RiP and DOM)

This is meant as no offense to any other former DOM members who were left off the list. These are just the most active and longest lasting members, with whom we formed a special bond together during our playing days.
