So here we stand. It has come to my attention, or should I say ive stopped turning a blind eye towards it. Inactivity. It seems that we have been experiencing member inactivity over the past few weeks, this is not good. I know, I know there are other games to be played and things that need doing, but being part of a clan requires a little extra effort. Clan management puts in the time and effort to make sure the clan runs smooth and steady as well as gearing up our lesser Templars, but it all goes to waste if members are inactive. I hope to be seeing more of you online more often.

Time to prove yourself to the clan! Get out there and spread some destruction. If you are currently a "Recruit" and want to move up in our clan then you should consider becoming an "Active" member. Next time you see Fireston online donate your weekly "4000 scrip", gain access to the clan bank and the weekly clan lottery. Gear up, get rich and get killin'.


For more information regarding "Active" member status please check out the "R-U ACTIVE" page from our navigation. It should clear the air of questions.


 
Recruiting has gone very well, and over the past few weeks we have recruited a handful of reliable Ark Hunters. Lets take this time to welcome them to the clan! New recruits seeking to become Active members should check out the "R-U ACTIVE" page through the navigation up top.


I will do my best to have everyones name up in the "Ark Templars" page ASAP. Until then please be patient. Thanks and welcome aboard!
 
Well guys just finished making some changes to the webpage concerning how news is stored/viewed etc. The site should work much smoother now and has a few new options for you to utilize. Im sure it wont be hard for you to figure out the new site layout. Thanks for your patience. 
 
NEW EPISODE FOR BOTH SHOW & GAME
Well the new show episode is out today as well as the new episode mission, so be sure to check both of those out(I delved deeper into the matter earlier this weekend).

HELLBUG SEASON: OPEN
Yes! Hellbug season is still open so get your contracts completed while you can and kill the required mutated hellbugs. Earn yourself the "Aberation Exterminator" nameplate.


BONUS LOOT WEEKEND OFFICIALLY OVER!
 
Big news out of camp Defiance today. The show has been officially renewed, so you can expect a second season to hit your screens in 2014. Even better news? The creative team involved with the first season - executive producer and showrunner Kevin Murphy (Desperate Housewives, Caprica), along with executive producers Darren Swimmer and Todd Slavkin (Smallville) and consulting producer Michael Taylor. We are currently just about half-way through season 1. So buckle up and polish your guns.
 
We have all been getting a great deal of contracts completed recently as a clan, which I think is one of the best ways to get geared up. It may take a little time, seeing as how most contracts only reward "10" faction points upon completion... but it will pay off I promise. The Enterprise or "Faction" vendors offer up some great gear of "Purple" quality if you manage to save up "200" faction points for that desired faction as well as dish out a mere sum of 5000(peanuts) or so scrip. With that being said, as a clan we will further our efforts to complete as many contracts as possible on both a daily and weekly basis. The entire clan will benefit from this.
 
So for those of you who don't already know, BONUS LOOT WEEKEND started Friday and will be ending Monday at 7:00pm PST. Everyone has an increased chance at receiving higher quality items from anything that rewards your character with an item... YES THIS INCLUDES LOCK-BOXES!!!!!
