Welcome Back!

WELCOME BACK!!

Operation Crossover is almost complete!

So what exactly was Operation Crossover!? It was moving [LSE] to a whole new format - The Good Company Gaming Guild is a multi-gaming community with several different clans and games supported!

This is STILL the HOME of the [LSE] Clan, but we have broadened our horizons and now support several different games.

For now, only the forums are back up as we are still working on the website. It will be up shortly, but NOW is your chance to offer some input on the new website. Is there something you'd like to see on the main website?? Let me know here!

I will post my temporary message from the website here in case you didn't catch it all:

The wait is finally over! The time for the big announcement has finally arrived!! It is time to unveil what Operation Crossover is all about!

I would like to introduce to you, Good Company Gaming Guild - a Multi-Gaming community - Home of the .:[LSE]:. Clan!

We are crossing over into a whole new era for this community! We will be supporting multiple games, and expanding our horizons. We'll be meeting more people, enjoying a better website, and overall have a more enjoyable and social experience!

For now, only the Forums are available, as there is still some work to do on the actual website.

Before I introduce the forums, I want to tell you about Good Company, and what is going on around here! For the longest time, [LSE] was a one game clan. Over time, a few people would come and go based on some of the newer games. For the most part we were content to just stick with Medal of Honor: Spearhead. [LSE] made an incredible name for itself in the world of Medal of Honor, and to this day is one of the largest and most popular places to play MoH:Spearhead on the internet. That is NOT going to change. You will still find the [LSE] servers and the [LSE] clan RIGHT HERE at Good Company. What's changing is that we are evolving into a multi-gaming community.

The name we have chosen to be the "umbrella" or "roof" over this community is Good Company Gaming Guild. We felt this name represents what [LSE] is all about - Good People, Good Servers, Good Games, GREAT FUN!

So here are some of the changes that you will be seeing:

[] Brand new web site and forums. The web site is being completely rebuilt, and we have moved away from phpbb forums to SMF (Simple Machine Forums). The website is not quite ready yet, but we should have a framework up and running soon. We were able to pull the user base and posts from the old forum over to the new one. The forums have been revised with threads being put into a more logical order, and sections added for some of the new games that Good Company will be supporting. There is an important thread about what's missing in the new forums, and some things that need fixed. Please be sure to find the thread named, "Important notes about the new forums!" (Maybe try the "Search" feature in the new forums.)

[] We will have different clans for different games. There may be exceptions to this, but for the most part each game that Good Company "supports" will have a separate clan name with designated Clan Leaders. [LSE] Clan will still exist for the MoH:Spearhead servers and [LSE] Fritzie and [LSE] vkdawg will be the clan leaders. As you all know we have just started a Battlefield 2 server that is getting quite popular. The name of this clan is Fighting 1st Infantry Division with a tag of [1ID]. The clan leaders are Nemesis and ICEMAN. We will also continue our CoD2 server, and we will soon be opening a CoD4 server! The planned clan name for CoD4 is Honor Clan. We will also have an area to support and discuss Runescape as we have several members and regulars who play that as well.

[] Guild Charter. I will soon be publishing a Guild Charter that will outline the direction and purpose of the Good Company Gaming Guild. This will be listed when the website opens up again.

[] Gaining Membership. Membership into the Good Company Gaming Guild will now change completely. Sometime in the next couple weeks we will introduce another group of people that will be accepted into membership. All remaining applications will be dismissed, and we will start the new system. With the new system in place, Good Company Gaming Guild will contact prospective new members. There will no longer be a public application to fill out, but rest assured if you are asked to fill out an application the time it takes to actually become a member will be much quicker than the old way. Also, Guild Membership is "all inclusive", meaning if you are accepted into the Guild you have the option of becoming a member in each clan.

All in all, LOTS of changes. Almost too many to completely comprehend here in the beginning of a new stage for [LSE]. I'll do my best to address more of the changes with threads in the forums. I'm sure there will be lots of questions, and that's what the forums are for, so please post your questions away!!

Please understand one thing, this community is based on the same principles and characteristics of [LSE], and that is a family-friendly, fun, sociable, competitive experience that is commonly known as the LSE Experience! I do not plan on ever losing that atmosphere, only to improve on it!

So, here's to the future of the Good Company Gaming Guild! May we all meet some great new friends, have a great time playing games together, get to know each other better and socialize more on the forums!

HAVE FUN, and remember - it all started with .:[LSE]:.

So there you have it. LOTS of info! Please, I'm here to answer any questions you may have.

I'm hoping to have the website re-opened as well very soon.

Have fun!
Mike
