History
The CDF was founded by Laro B. King October 17 2008. Its first members were Amon and KeV. The CDF soon started to ladder for the first time against TUX Masters and shortly after it, CDF played the first clanwar against XS (Xtreme Squad) at Team Battle on the maps Battle1 and Battle2. CDF became one of the new clans that had been active for at least a year and a half.
Diplomacy
CDF is a medium-large sized clan. CDF’s first priority was loyalty, “Loyalty is the most important aspect for a clan. There is no way CDF would survive without loyalty.”, says Laro B. King. “I wanted skilled players, I forgot about loyalty, but it was a great mistake which will not happen again.”, he points out.
After TM’s death, Master Sven joined the CDF along with some other TMer’s. MasterSven made it as CO-leader due to Laro’s inactivity.
Into the beginning of 2011, Laro made his return, by playing ladders against clans like Cracco Clan, and many more. Laro took immediate actions by creating training dates, play ladders and trainings more often.
2011 May, the CDF had lots of substantial setbacks, TreyLina left the CDF and Thunderwalker replaced her position in the Council. But, also, ThunderWalker left CDF for the GpW. Laro has send a news post in CDF which he declares:
“Despite the fact how big our losses are in JJ2, the CDF shall remain strong and its remaining members have nothing to worry about.”
“Last week TreyLina left us, and now ThunderWalker. But there is no reason for panic, me and MasterSven are still in charge and declared yesterday: We cannot be broken.”
Tag
How did Laro came up with “Civilian Defence Force”? Well, the story is rather funny. “I was playing GTA San Andreas and I was just playing around and I entered Colonel Fuhrberger`s home (the house you rob in the mission Home Invasion) and I saw a flag above his bed saying Los Santon Civilian Defence Force and I found the name of my clan!” ~Laro
Recruitment
The CDF recruiting policy was to give everyone a chance. They would consider loyalty over skill. Tryouts are usually offered first too. Members of the clan were always encouraged to give their opinion about other members and this opinion of theirs was to be taken into consideration by the Council.
Allies
In order to strengthen CDF. They formed alliances with a number of other clans.
TUX Masters have helped the CDF at the start with trainings and recruiting. They played many ladders with different game modes such as CTF, TB, and even 3vs3 Dominations. The death of TM came as a surprise to the CDF especially to Laro B King.
“Honestly I didn’t expect TM to die, it was a big and active clan with good and loyal people. I tried to help but when I saw Master Sven’s note on TM’s Ladder page, I realised it was too late. The remaining TM members like Master Sven and Slaz joined the CDF”, ~Laro B. King.
Carrotus Guards is a turkish clan who allianced with CDF in 2009-07-04. Both CDF and CG were training together and playing many fun ladders. Amon, CDF’s first member joined CG some time after its creation. In 1-7-2010 the CG leaders, Caglar and Nedim both have decided to shutdown the clan. They were obviously too busy, but Caglar became active again in late 2010 and he decided to join the CDF.
