Without writing an epically long forum rant. I wanted to briefly post and share the vision of the organization, and where it's headed.
Notes are point form below, so you'll may have to connect some of the dots yourself. Input from all of you is welcome.
What we are building:
A ever expanding global network of like minded gamers and people, who dedicate their online lives and hours to the creation of a unique gamer sub culture and organization, that is Famed for Tyranny, Terror, Lawless Violence, Propaganda, Personalities, and outrageousness - The Khans.
An organization that will proudly display the heritage and history of it's membership like a comic, or story, or fictional/fantasy book - yet have the history and culture deeply rooted in the true events of the members and their time online. To create the supervillians of tomorrow - on the internet of today, directly based on the real people
An organization that will work to influence the future of Fallout based games, real world policies, and vastly improve the lives of its membership.
An organization that will work to turn the hours spent gaming into profit FOR the membership, and use the membership size to project it's critical mass for membership gain (think discounts, Beta tests, etc).
The Technical Infrastructure behind the vision
Great website - www.khanscentral.com/new is well on it's way
Epic Forums - thekhans.boards.net complete - but still improving!
A Khanstitution - (*.PDF Underway) A formal document that outlines how we govern, replace leadership, and basic Khantext of being part of the organization
A Cultural booklet - (*.PDF Ongoing) For the newcomers, our version of a Khan holy book, that explains why we do the things we do, and some of our traditional cultural practices.
A Chronological Log Book - which is ongoing, and I am slowly getting the pieces back together for.
A hub of game files and information - hosted on Khanscentral, so that people can go to www.khanscentral.com and download all their old favourite games, from the FOT Demo to KKND, to FOnline or whatever, and the mediums to play it over (GameRanger), and cracks/patches as necessary. So that an army of Khans can go from one game to another and another in a single afternoon, and raid and pillage as they please.
A legal Business in our namesake, and for our membership will be formed.
Creative Opportunities, like the Khans Lottery, to break out big, on behalf of the membership.
By Raiders, FOR Raiders.
Goals * To unite all of the Khan Flags of the internet under one Khan banner at www.khanscentral.com * To expand into new games and new sub cultures, and leave the Mark of THE KHANS upon them. * To Raid and Pillage forgotten games, and mock/thwart/attack and dissolve the micro communities that still play them * Recruit to 100 Active Khans by summer 2016, and 1000 Khans by 2018. * To Khanquer the minds of the people, and Khanvert more and more gamers into Khans until we rule gaming on the internet

STATEMENT FROM THE LEADERSHIP
Some ideas are so powerful that they never die. They may travel from person to person, they may share and expand themselves, or they may lie dormant. But once spawned, once alive. They never die. Once visited by such an idea, it can become engrained in you, and however you might try to escape it, or forget, it lives on inside you... Then one day it reaches out from within you, and grasps at you to employ it... and it seeks to make you great.The Khans is one of those ideas.... It has built this place, It has gathered and grown this community, It has plagued the weak who refuse to accept it, It has conquered those who have opposed it, And it has profited those who have embraced it. It is us, and we are it. It is eternal, and once embraced, makes you forever - Khan. This is the third Epoch of The Khans... And be it foretold that there must never be a fourthWe have vastly surpassed the success and lifespan of the second Epoch, whilst also reaching many parallels and successes of the first Epoch; and it is at this moment that we now stand at the base of the precipice, the beginning of our journey to the top of our envisioned future. Stand with me brothers, and let us climb and build, and khanquer and climb until we reach the summit someday

Awesome shit, Garg, almost brought a tear to my eye. But then I remembered that I am a man, so no such things happening.
But a thousand players in just a couple years is a lot. We'd need to expand to many games, have people spewing propaganda around all the MMO's.

1000 members is a lofty Goal, and it does ask the question about what makes a member.
But if you look at the people who cycled through a Khan program during thier stay in Fonline, and you're batting at close to 80 khans is just the last 6 months.
It's not unreasonable to expect that in a larger setting, and with more formalized technical tools, that we would pull this off.

Yeah. If we change game, or spread out to a few more games we could easily get there when time allows. If we recruit aggressively like we have in a world with tenfold or hundredfold the players we'll be there in no time.

But the thing is, The Khans are known on FOnline and it has taken time to get there. Start a new game with guilds/clans who have played for possibly years and it's not that easy. It would first take 6 months to a year to reach some popularity and to get to know the game well enough.

Indeed, but with the playerbase we have we will soon be a huge force to be reckoned with as soon as we get the logistics figured out. And. We don't play fair. It'll always come in handy.
