Did your PS4 clan die? Shoot stuff, don’t die with us!

[u][b]Did your clan die? [/b][/u] Sundowners wants you! [b]Your clan's name: [/b]Sundowners [b]Your system: [/b]PS4 [b]Clan Level:[/b] 6. [u][b]Where are most of your clan members located: [/b][/u] All over North America with a handful of members and guests from around the world. Admins are US (EST and CST). [u][b]When do we usually play: [/b][/u] Usually after 7pm EST on weekdays our Discord server gets hot, groups start forming, and shenanigans follow. Members play at a variety of times, but most of the action is during the evenings and weekends. [u][b]More about your clan:[/b][/u] The clan recently pruned our roster for this recruiting push, but we have a solid core of players that have been together for the long haul... over 3.5 years now! We jokingly refer to ourselves as hardcore casuals, we are all 18+ (no exceptions) mature adults and busy, busy, professionals in a similar life stage. Like exceedingly busy, no bs, kick back, relax, and enjoying the game kinda busy. Sundowners is an all around clan with guardians from all walks of life. Our roster consists laid back adults who formed Sundowners with one goal: to create a place where anyone can join in, take part in all activities, and have fun regardless of skill level. You don't need to be a raid expert or a crucible maestro. We'll raid with you even if you suck. We used to suck. Hell, I still suck! No pressure. We want to play and learn together, with a roster chock full of people who you'd want to play with daily. We need more people to add to said chock. That's where you come in! [u][b]Our mission:[/b][/u] [b]Our mission is to make sure every clan member is improving as a player, laughing, and making friends.[/b] That’s it. It’s who we are, and what we do. [i]“We are a coast-to-coast PS4 Destiny clan with a good mix of new and experienced players. Everything we do is built around our core values of respect, patience, helpfulness, growth and fun. We are a people-focused clan happy to help with whatever aspect of your game that needs attention - raids, strikes, crucible, Trials, Iron Banner… you get the idea. While we take Destiny seriously when online, there will never be any harassment or frustration for members taking a break or dropping unexpectedly to make a bottle, kiss their mini-guardians goodnight, or help their partner with the yard/housework/etc. Family and life issues will always trump the game.”[/i] [b][u]Simple rules:[/u][/b] 1. Don't be a jerk. 2. Don't be a jerk. Seriously... Don't be a jerk. 3. Join Discord. Be active in Discord. 4. Play with others. Post cat memes. Tag @cmlong. Make friends. Tag @cmlong with friends. Most important rule is don't be a jerk. Simple. Discord is a must. If you're not familiar with Discord, don't worry; we can walk you through it all. Do not be intimidated by Discord, it's simple and great. Discord isn't just for LFG, its for building community. We need you to be open to chatting and playing with others with Discord as our main source of communication. We have a closed clan roster, and we always do a small screening before extending the clan invite. We are selective about who we invite because we don't like opening our doors to the dregs of the internet... why would we want that for you? Our vetting process is there to create a few small barriers to keep the screebs away! It’s a test of communication, and ones willingness to meet halfway. My personal belief is that we are only as good as how welcome our newest members feel. You should feel comfortable playing with anyone in the clan, in any activity, because we all want the same thing; to hang out and have fun shooting space rhinos at the end of a long day! [b][u]What kind of players are we looking for? [/u][/b] We are focused on growing responsibly, that’s why we recruit during the slower times. We intentionally delayed this push to avoid the DLC clan hoppers that fly into the tower hot, fueled by hype. Players that join for a season, burn out, and move on. We have a good thing going, and we are committed to building something greater with you. Right now we are going through the typical DLC boom/bust cycle. Some are still focused on the grind, progressing at different rates. Some are feeling the burn and playing a few nights a week in between enjoying Anthem, The Division 2, and other games. Plenty of players are chomping at the bit & eager to take on the end game with you! Experience is preferred, but definitely not necessary. We have never turned away good people. It’s easier to teach a new player end game content than rehabilitating some jerks bad habits. One odd fact is that we seem to have a lot of former clan leaders within our ranks. Like the Tangled Shore, they somehow end up here. This helps us maintain a low key, positive atmosphere. Players have been on both sides of this thing, and we work together towards the same mission. We are a clan that has [i]“restored the faith in community” [/i]to many players. Bottom line is we want members like you. Players willing to jump in, enjoy their new home, and stick around for a reason instead of one season. We are proud of our clan culture, and the community we have built. We have a strong foundation of good, solid people, and loyal players with a healthy work/life/gaming balance already in place. We want motivated players like you. Players with a end game focus to prepare for the final conflict together. [b][u]Goals:[/u][/b] To intentionally weed out alllll of the the impatient, rage quitting, elitist jerk screebs with one long winded post! Like a sparrow to the knee— because we wanna hang out with gamers like you! If you’re still here, you’re probably willing to keep giving it hell in a raid group that just kicked it off with a shaky start. PVE- Sherpas would be nice, but we will mentor day one players and welcome back seasoned vets. We want end game players who are patient, eager to teach, and willing to learn. Chill adults looking for a place to play with some other chill adults, while enjoying helping others and having fun together. No one in Sundowners will yell at you, call you names, tell you to drink bleach or any of the other horrible shit out there. We will laugh at you when you die though. We will probably record it too. And we expect you to laugh at us when we die. We will all die laughing because its a game and we know its supposed to be fun. PVP- Full disclosure, we don't have a lot of competitive crucible players right now... but the ones we do have are highly skilled, easy going, great people. They enjoy the sweat without elitist jerk salt. We are committed to building that player base back up, as every good team has a foundation. That’s usually me at the bottom of the leaderboard. The 💯 truth is that we were always more of a PVE focused clan. Then D2 scorched the earth, and laid waste to many clans across the Destiny community. We did something that most clans did not. We stuck together. We weathered the storm, and we are stronger for it. Few can claim standing strong through the highest of highs, and the lowest of the lows with the Destiny franchise. [b][u]Our future:[/u][/b] Going into year 5 of the game has many of us in uncharted waters. Not only the Season Pass model with Bungie as an independent studio.... But as people. Some folks are newly married. Others are celebrating the arrival of firstborn children. New kids. Kids that are growing up too fast! Busy careers. Promotions at work. Purchasing our first homes, upgrading from starter homes, and cross country moves. Putting children through college. All of that to say that we have lives outside of D2... but the passion burns like the Black Armory forges, and we go HAM when we play. We just can’t no life the game. [b][u]Making contact:[/u][/b] If you want to chat about recruitment, or if you have any friends that want to chat let’s get together soon. We would rather bring folks in with long term friends than without them.... y’all stuck together for a reason! Right? Right. If you are hungry to play like Variks with the ether munchies, a new or experienced player, in between clans [i]“Welcome home!”[/i] To get the conversation rolling DM me here on bungie.net to introduce yourself, then we can link up on Discord (SGT-FURY-84#1984) or PSN (SGT-FURY-84). Add Sundowners to your message, otherwise it gets ignored. After receiving your message a Discord invite kicks off your initiation process. This rite of passage is a Sundowners tradition. Everyone currently on our roster has been through it, myself included. Afterwards if all goes well a main SDS Discord server invite & clan invite will be on the way! The clan application and vetting process sounds worse than it is. It takes serious effort to botch the screening. I mean, you have already come this far! That’s the first test. There’s no need to try and sell yourself or anything crazy like that, we just want to chat gamer to gamer, learn about yourself, what you want from a clan, and answer any additional questions about us. The majority of the screening/information is right here in this post. The read only channels on our recruiting server sums up the rest. Most guardians read the clan description way up there ☝🏻 and figure out really quick if Sundowners is a good fit or not. Looking forward to hearing from you soon! 🍻 Edit- Autocorrect failures courtesy of my iPhone. Or, maybe I just wanna talk about bacon as mentioned below 🔽↖️↩️🔄⬇️

  • The Sundowners what more can I say about this clan or what I prefer to say my second dysfunctional family of brothers and sisters, yes I say family because that's what this clan will make you feel like. I've been with the sundowners about two years now and being a Solo player for awhile I was hesitant on joining a clan, but from day one of asking to join I was welcomed with open arms it made me feel comfortable about joining a group of people that I don't know and also trying to get to know them. The selling point of the sundowners and what got me is this clan is heavy on family, what that means is family comes first, so if you're parents with kids, single mom, single dad, does not matter we even have for kids only clan, I'm just saying we all have family stuff happening or life stuff you will never feel the pressure of leaving a raid. Strike, nightfall whatever if the family comes a calling we'll be here when you get back, I've never found a more helpful, understanding, friendly, fun loving group of people like the sundowners so come join us and share in the fun I'll be looking for you peace out.
