Because I've yet to see any guy listen to a girl.
*ehm*
But, really: during the summer, most of our petitioners go home (being college students), and those who are left often have work or other duties to attend to. Same thing with brothers.

just to reiterate the reason why trying something different is good bc if you dont do anything different and expect a different result that makes you at least by Webster's standards INSANE! but yeah i just thought i'd comment bc that reminded me of that little definition when you mentioned that second part there dariun:) this really doesn't have any direct baring except as a not so convincing reiteration of that post so yeah later on Donkey:-P

Hope, i suggest two things that you can do aobut it. improve yourself, fight with all you can in true black company spirit, and whenever you see other black company members, encourage them to practice, (wait thats 3, oh well, i graditated from fisher) you think you cannot do anything but that is wrong. remember, if you want to change the world, change yourself.

well what we can do is represent the company well.
there are always new people comming out for fighting especially now that the summer session is in.
what will impress people is unity on and off the field.
that is what we are about. and that is what we want to attract to the company.
i believe most of us have heard about the individual summer training with the new brothers. arkodo spoke to me on this and i believe squirrel talked about it as well. the training is to help us learn our weapons and give us a firmer grounding in them. something both a 10 year veteran and a 2 day newbie could use a lot.
along the lines of training as a petitioner core as well. I will be able to fit any times that are needed into my schedule as long as i know about it 4 days or greater in advance bc i make my work schedule how i want it to be but i can't change it once it's made. so if you all wanted to get together this friday i could do that now but mebbe not if it wasnt organized before this evening bc i might schedule work just as an example.
but i do want to get the petitioners together. Let's get organized outside of the normal practices! those of us who are still in the summer classes i understand that you need to study and by god if you arent you should be! but as long as you make sure you have the time set aside for that study time amazingly time is created almost out of magic when you create a schedule. so no excuses we need to get together as a core group of petitioners so lend me all of you schedules those of you who have them and yes i do know that dragon said he would be able to do this but send them to me as well or hell dragon if you have peoples schedules send them to me hehe:) email would be the best method since i don't wanna crowd up this post!

Whats up yall the Vash man here,
I think we all have company pride, at least i assume that we all do. If you don't then you need to re evauluate your reason being in this family. Pride is a state of mind not an emotion, not a emotion, you always need to be there. I say family because that is what we are. Think about it, what is different from us and every other fighitng unit? We are a unit on and off the field. That is what I am proud of. That when it all comes down to it it I can say confidently that my brothers have my back. That is what we are if we have a ring or not we are brothers we are family and we move as one. That is my pride. This is the state of mind we need to be and remain. Vash out yall.

Hell I don't know exactly what to add to this conversation except I feel the need to respond.
Hope they do listen to girls. I know they listen to me at least. The matter of girls/boys is old and bs so I am putting in my hat for 1st petioner and going to give it my best to work for it.
I agree that we need more pride. Before SW we had more pride and at SW we kicked ass and showed our pride. Now suddenly it seems everyone has attitude problems and wants to pick fights with others. I don't mean only within the company and picking fights with other units is fun but damnit all I been hearing and seeing lately is bitching and moaning. If you don't like it or you have a problem with it then don't just stand there bitching take it up with the person or a Brother and get the problem taken care of. If all we do is sit around and complain then I know others will not see our pride and want to join and those of us who do want to do everything they can for the company start to get annoying and worn down and not want to do as much because we don't wanna hear the complaints without results all the time.
ok rambling time is over

Thank you Ehlanna, one thing that attracted me to Black Company is what we are losing. We were actually a unit. And less complaining cmae from company people. everyone else did nothing but bitch half the time (still is the case) i dont want us to end like the rest of NUmenor. we are black company, we are not here for politics, we are here to fight.

i once to had company pride i was getting good and i was getting known either as an ass or a loyal one you can decide but i let greed get to me and then i was swayed by anothers words and was warped into thinking things that werent true and yet still went further into the corruption and did what i was told to do drop my outer circle and go to another group well this one who swayed me likes to get people in trouble for what they have not done and i was banished do to this ones words to another i was let back in though with a ban of never being able to petition or outer circle ever(that i know of) this is a warning to those words can make you lose sway in things and you may pay dearly by losing freinds close to you that are brothers, petitioners, outer circle remember this warning for i am gone maybe to return but unlikely for one who once had company pride and loses it you know the fealling of losing so many good freinds and the feally of a family for those like me who have what some people call a disfuctional family well i bid you all a good battle and a good day farewell.
