The history of TVB

Since it was discussed here it is.

I was already an admin here for about four months. I was the recruiter for PWG. They just got a new home called The Hood. I loved being in PWG, but I felt a tie to The Ville.

After 9/11 I felt it was time to put something together that was for The Ville. It was going to be something new and start small (that didn't happen.) The original plan was to start small with like 4-8 members.

The first person I asked was SilverOne who said "I don't know...we'll see." If you know Silver like I do...it's typical of him. The surprise came in the form of Robert E. Lee. I really thought he'd never join any clan or guild since he turned down numerous other offers. Well he said he'd join. Before you know it the whole admin board (10 of us at the time) is on except for Stump and Greebo who were in E4 and PWG.

I'll never forget Bakuryu lecturing me about how to build a clan either hehe.

So the plan for 4-8 members is down the toilet. I believe we ended up starting with 22 members right off the bat. I asked my spy arch nemesis Twisted to join. I got both YPAWOM and Rata. Roofcutter, Warhammer, and Sully were among the originals as well.

We then merged with 8 of NSA's 11 members bringing us up to over 30 members. The CyCo's were part of this. Three players joined Bakuryu's BR clan.

Since then we've added players here and there. We currently stand at 46 members in TVB. It's been a great 4 months...and Bakuryu was wrong

It did last.

Soon we will have to redo the roster again, but this time it will be easier if we show who is not in TVB instead of who is in.

Soon we'll start the inevitable thread about when TVB "jumped the shark". Just can't imagine it happening any time soon. TVB hasn't wavered one bit, and it keeps getting better.

And yes, we are ALL admins. So don't screw with us.

I was wondering, have you ever made a bad selection? What I mean is, have you ever recruited someone that turned into an @hole? The reason I am interested is the TVB name seems really clean for as long as you have been together. I can't say I have seen even one member do anything "bad".

I almost made an incorrect choice before my partner SHAFT informed me of certain "things" this player did that we did not approve of. Your recruiting style is to be commended! One bad apple can spoil the bunch. How do you keep your nose so clean?

As I have said before, we are all friends. We were friends before TVB and we are still friends today.

It doesn't matter if we have a tag in front of our name, we are still friends. You say we did good recruiting, will its easy. if you are already considered a friend then you pretty much are already member just waiting for the official invite.

We get the bad stuff out of our system at the mysterious and infamous TVB nights. You have never seen such rampant misbehavior and underhanded skullduggery in your life!!! We even sacrificed a noob last time.

Also, our dirty laundry is aired in private on the TVB forum. There isn't much of it, but things do happen.
