What do '''SoC''' represents one might ask? The way I see it, the vision I had in mind, when making this group could be described with one word - '''brotherhood'''. Too often we find ourselves alone, scattered, disillusioned and last but not least surrounded by danger. Often as not you can't even trust survivors like you and I. What I envisioned was a '''bond''' - friendship and trust, trust that you will never find yourself left behind or alone when in need. To know that no matter how fierce the enemy is, you fight together with your brothers and sisters until the end, victory or not. '''No matter what the odds, no matter what it costs. With respect towards the enemy, honour and duty'''. All of us lost people, who we cared for and '''SoC''' represents family, our bond being our testament. I wish for myself and for everyone else to '''fight with cold determination and sheer tenacity'''. Having that I believe, will allow us to restore Darvall Heights and North-West back to the survivor haven it used to be and later to assist everyone else in Malton. | What do '''SoC''' represents one might ask?

The long-term goal of the Soldiers of Crossman is to reunite the Northwest of Malton under one banner. The desire shared by SoC members is that each suburb will be self-sufficient, possessing their own chain of command and leadership structure, but answering to a central SoC authority. The suburbs under Crossman leadership will manage their own home defense troops, as well as special purpose teams that can be used to assist other suburbs or engage in missions outside of the Northwest. | |||
A general platoon, filled with ranks of soldiers from across the entire Northwest, will exist outside of the suburbs' leadership, under direct orders from the SoC central command. This unit will be responsible for moving throughout the entire Northwest and handling tasks that the leadership considers in need of attention. | |||
However everyone, both the suburbs and the general platoon, will be under one banner – Soldiers of Crossman – and under central leadership. | |||
:- '''FAQ''' - | |||
*'''Question''': Wouldn't it be easier to simply create alliances with all of the different groups in the Northwest? | |||
*'''Answer:''' It certainly would be easier, but the easiest way is rarely the best. Different groups have different goals and different policies. These minor differences in policy can become sources for significant amounts of tension between survivor groups. To make matters worse, survivor groups recruit from the same pool of players. If alliances were forged that covered the entire Northwest, the groups would be forced to directly compete with each other for members, creating additional opportunities for tension to arise. The end result in alliances such as these is a lack of equality, since the larger groups are able to ensure that policy decisions end up being more favorable for themselves. Smaller groups are forced to assimilate into larger groups if they want to have any chance of being considered equal. | |||
By uniting under one banner, we have the same policies, the same members, the same leadership, and the same goals. Central leadership also has the benefit of ensuring a better allocation of resources, since there is no need to share information or forces with a different group. | |||
We will still forge alliance, but the hope is that our allies will one day join us by uniting under a common banner. | |||
*'''Question''': If being assimilated by a large group is a bad thing, why should my group join Soldiers of Crossman? | |||
*'''Answer''': In the case of multiple groups forging an alliance, policy decisions that affect the alliance can create situations where "it's us vs. them," oftentimes to the detriment of the smaller, underdog groups. Since the best way to effect change is from the inside, a better approach is to ensure that every individual has their own voice in the decision-making process and provide them all with the opportunity to weigh in on the decision. By merging with the Soldiers of Crossman, you and the members of your group can join the existing SoC members as equal and diverse individuals, ensuring that there is no "us vs. them" or group politics involved. | |||

As our numbers raise newer positions will be included to better our order and structure.
Back in the old days it was pride to be an LCD or CDF, and now we are proud to be the Soldiers of Crossman. Moreover it wasn't just the pride, but it was the friendship and brotherhood that we developed with each other. The knowledge that you always have someone to watch your back, that no matter what the odds, we all stand together win or lose. As such we mainly don't look for the level or experience but for:
If you feel you possess those qualities, then you are more then welcomed to join us. Prospective members - please contact us on our forum or one of us in game, sign your name and profile like everyone else on the end of the Members section of this page and register to our forum (if you haven't already done so in the process of contacting us). Thank you.
What do SoC represents one might ask? The way I see it, the vision I had in mind, when making this group could be described with one word - brotherhood. Too often we find ourselves alone, scattered, disillusioned and last but not least surrounded by danger. Often as not you can't even trust survivors like you and I. What I envisioned was a bond - friendship and trust, trust that you will never find yourself left behind or alone when in need. To know that no matter how fierce the enemy is, you fight together with your brothers and sisters until the end, victory or not. No matter what the odds, no matter what it costs. With respect towards the enemy, honour and duty. All of us lost people, who we cared for and SoC represents family, our bond being our testament. I wish for myself and for everyone else to fight with cold determination and sheer tenacity. Having that I believe, will allow us to restore Darvall Heights and North-West back to the survivor haven it used to be and later to assist everyone else in Malton.
The long-term goal of the Soldiers of Crossman is to reunite the Northwest of Malton under one banner. The desire shared by SoC members is that each suburb will be self-sufficient, possessing their own chain of command and leadership structure, but answering to a central SoC authority. The suburbs under Crossman leadership will manage their own home defense troops, as well as special purpose teams that can be used to assist other suburbs or engage in missions outside of the Northwest. A general platoon, filled with ranks of soldiers from across the entire Northwest, will exist outside of the suburbs' leadership, under direct orders from the SoC central command. This unit will be responsible for moving throughout the entire Northwest and handling tasks that the leadership considers in need of attention. However everyone, both the suburbs and the general platoon, will be under one banner – Soldiers of Crossman – and under central leadership.
We will still forge alliance, but the hope is that our allies will one day join us by uniting under a common banner.
