Due to convenience reasons, SHS will no longer be operating on this site! We are now located on facebook and are using discord for the chat. For information, our discord chat is here: https://discord.gg/84ue8Vv. It has been a pleasure meeting and serving everyone on this website, but if we wish to move on, we must start fresh in a new location. I hope everyone understands and we hope to see new and old faces. With all that is said and done, SHS is officially up and running again and we had our first tournament on 2/24/2017!! As discussed, we can still hold the 10 year anniversary party. - Thanks for you understanding! With love, Pijy

About The Recent Recruiting Controversy

There has been a controversy among the Squads during the recent offseason, mainly between those of the members of the Chess Pieces (now named Steel Squad) and the Wolves Anonymous.

I'm not going to give any specifics, except the details that follows: Steel Squad attempted to recruit a few members from the Wolves Anon, which has resulted in tensions between the two Squads. The Wolves Anonymous has the impression that Steel Squad tried to mooch off of them, whereas Steel Squad feels that it was legitimate recruiting in preparation for the next season.

Whether the case, it has shown me that it may be necessary to impose a new rule in the Squad Requirements: When a member is already part of a Squad, he must express interest in joining another Squad before anyone else can try to convince him to leave his current Squad. In other words, the member must approach the other Squad first, before the other Squad can approach him. This way, recruiting is kept fair and Squads can't simply feast on one another.

This may seem like I'm punishing Steel Squad for the incident, but I'm not. The members involved can join whoever they want, whether they have a legitimate desire to join Steel Squad or are having second thoughts about leaving the Wolves Anon. It's just that this sort of controversy can only happen too easily, so I want to take steps to prevent this sort of thing.

As for the controversy itself, let's move on. We have the rest of the offseason to prepare for what should be an excellent summer season. Let's keep going.

Thanks for understanding,

there isn't any tension between the two squads lol I'm just thinking of leaving WA because of inactivity and Steel Squad has a lot to offer lol can't say the same for anyone else so yeah topic was kind of pointless and could of been handled more maturely amongst ourselves especially since this is the first time this has ever happened but thanks for letting everyone else know I guess? No person should be mad at another person if anything blame me for wanting to switch over lol tempting I must say

cheers mates :rez:

Ahhh. I think recruiting between squads is fine. It's sparks rivarly and shouldn't be taken too seriously.
I guess this is okay too.

I just think that it should be there member's decision to consider other squads. We're all friends and don't want to let each other down, but if a friend asks you to leave a squad to join his, and you really like the squad you're already in, you're gonna feel torn. That's not really fair to the member, or the squad you're essentially trying to steal from. Particularly if it's a member that's been with a specific squad since it started and they've formed ties and all that.

It may sound silly to some of you, but at least in this instance some feelings were hurt and that's just not cool ya know?
