MOAR MUSIC

So, I kinda wanted to let Cookie Monster bookend the Thursday music posts, sort of bring it full circle, but I like music too much to stop now. There will be more pop music, but I think I might broaden it out a bit, too. Today, I'm thinking the Roots:

Love and Tolerance?

Not sure how many of you read the Round Stable, but Headless Horse has a great pair of articles re: the phrase "love and tolerance". A teaser:
"Virtually all the exposés that attempt to understand the fandom as a sincere, self-supportive community of like-minded fans of a show about pink cartoon ponies latch on to a recurring mantra that survives today stronger than ever: Love and Tolerance. To hear fans tell it, that’s what FiM is all about, and that’s why everybody loves it so much.
I’ve just got to ask: Are these people watching the same show I am?"
 Check them out here and here.

Meet Your Clan Mate, VorpalRenegade

This week, I interviewed VorpalRenegade about MLP and videogames. When you play with this guy enemy killstreaks are nonexistent. His killstreaks are usually in the air too. Check out his interview after the jump and remember you gotta go fast.

Question number 3 pertains to season 3 information released from Comic-Con, so avoid it if you don't want spoilers.

RIP Domination ClOps

Sad news, everypony. I've just learned that tomorrow's Domination ClOp might be the last of its kind.

Forever in our hearts.
In the spirit of friendly competition, I'd like to give my favorite gametype a lively send-off by putting out a clan-wide challenge: get more captures than me on this ClOp and win a year of Xbox Live! Details after the jump.

The Purge 2: Electric Boogaloo

Any of our old members will remember the Great Purge a few months ago, when we cleared out our inactive members who just really weren't part of the clan and hadn't played in forever. That gave us the room to recruit a bunch of new bronies who made the clan fun to play with again, allowed us to win two clan operations, and in general helped us spread love, tolerance and the pursuit of the Equestrian dream across MW3. Now that we're back up to 100 members, we decided that now would be a good time to do it all again so we can keep the clan in tip top shape.

Mars, Whar and I are a bunch of softies and we hate to let people go. We're not actually removing any members for two weeks, to give everyone a chance to keep their spot. At the very least, we want everyone to know exactly why someone is getting booted so here are the reasons for getting kicked out:

- Inactivity: if your elite says "no activity in last 10 days" and there's still nothing 2 weeks from now, we might let you go. Same if it looks like you havn't even played enough to use up the clan double xp from us hitting 30 or 40. 
- Not participating: a few people do play regularly, but no one else in the clan knows them, they never join in games with other members, and they've never participated in a clan op. These are the guys that probably just came for the clan tag
- Breaking our 3 rules (no racism/hate, no excessive rudeness to other clan members, no cupcakes)

If you know you fit under one of these categories, please contact me (JiaJohn) and let us know why you want to stay. For example, one of our guys has a broken disk drive on his Xbox - we're not gonna kick him out for it. We're fair guys. Bottom line:

INACTIVE PLAYERS WILL BE REMOVED ON JULY 26

Meet Your Clan Mate, Lil Miss Rarity

This week's Meet Your Clan Mate, we have Lil Miss Rarity. He loves to destroy enemies with his little javelin. The recon drones that he calls in are also a big help to his team since the enemies light up on the mini map. Check the interview after the jump.

Weekend ClOps

Another successful weekend of ClOpping! Gold medals all around! Thanks to everypony for your hard work and dedication; we're getting to level 50 pretty quickly. We won't level up next weekend since we'll be 500 points and change short, but at this rate, we should be 50 before Black Ops 2 comes out. Not sure what they'll do at that point. Anyway, our excellent leaderboards are after the jump!

Happy Birthday, RenaissanceMan5!

Also catchup on op leaderboards for the last half of June. Everypony's been working hard, banging out gold medal after gold medal, and Elite's finally getting it together enough that we can show off a little. So rock those emblems, rock our pony title, and know that each and every one of us makes this clan one of the best in the world in competitions, and the best in the world for friendship.
The power was out and Dairy Queen refused to put a pony on the cake, so Rarity had to get her hooves muddy.
