A few months ago the VDLL celebrated a remarkable 12,5 years on CC. We've created a great history within our clan with annual meet-ups with pizza, beer and playing the BeNeLux-map (that 69Chevy made a huge real-life version of) at Koganosi's place. The founder of the VDLL, MarVal, made that map, so that's nice. I remember we even brought this huge thing to the national risk championships, that a few of us try to attend every year.
Throughout the years there's been a number of different leaders of which I was by far the longest sitting one and eventually the last one standing. However, after 9 years of leadership, it's time to lay down my duties, face what has been our new normal for quite some time already and act accordingly: the VDLL is better off as a social usergroup.
Thanks to the swift action taken by king achilles, as of today this is an actual fact. The VDLL is a social usergroup.
At some level, it almost feels as if the terminology 'social usergroup' covers way better what the VDLL has been the entire 12,5 years than 'competitive clan' does. This has been by far the most important reason I like the VDLL so much. We're competitive individuals, but as a group we always seemed to care the most about the social part of our group.
A great history of a great clan. It's been an honour leading it.

PS. Personally I'm not searching for a clan at the moment, but perhaps some of my VDLL mates are. This post is mainly meant as a heads-up that it's alright to let 'em in one of your clans.
PPS. To any Dutch speaking player that was wishing to be part of the VDLL for a long time, but couldn't because of his/her current clan: hit me up and you're welcome to join
