Well here it goes, me and Eri first met when I had joined the WGF Clan. WGF is an AOE and ROR clan. When I joined I met 5 main people in the clan: WGF_Eri and WGF_Didos, WGF_Bandito, WGF_Madjock and WGF_Nurse.
Me and Eri had fun games in WGF and I was really devoted to the clan. Mainly because Eri and I had so much fun there. But Eri had already multiple warnings before I joined about using bad words and trying to over look the censorship program installed on their site. He was banned for (I think) 6 months.
Well I mainly loved the clan because of Eri and my other friends there. I had gotten really upset about WGF's Decision even through I did not know the full extend of the situation. I then let Eri go onto my WGF account now and then to look at posts, but then thier leader WGF_Freak had found his ip in their system and asked me about it. I told him the truth and told him I let eri login in my account and he told me that i should change my password and that this should not happen again. I’m not sure exactly when it was, but he accused me of being eri, said that WGF_Pico and WGF_Eri are the same person, just 2 different accounts.
Well I had to be an idiot and I got really mad about this and the bannment of Eri. So he and I talked on msn and decided that I should quit the clan and that we should make our own clan. Well the stupid part about it was I did not leave peacefully. I had spammed their forums and took 2 members with me to join AKC, (WGF_Ulf, WGF_Blinky) Now known as AKC_Ulf and formally AKC_Blinky.
We had created AKC - Age of Empires Knight Clan at Pico-Games.com which was originally going to be our gaming store. (That’s where the url name comes from)
The clan struggled; many WGF members had blocked me from msn. WGF_Bandito and WGF_madjock were 2 of my best friends in WGF. They logged in "sometimes" and never really talked to me much anymore. I regret how our friendship has turned out and hope that if they ever read this to consider giving me a second chance.
WGF_Nurse had kept me unblocked and gave me advice from time to time. Without her i wouldn’t know where i would be and greatly thank her for everything she has done for me. She is now part of AKC's Conclave.
Well anyways the AKC Clan struggled for about an half a year. We had almost no active members, almost no posts in our forums and repeatedly the forum and site fell down and we had to fix and patch things. Our theme was screwed up and things weren’t going too well.
This is where WGF_Didos comes into the picture. Me and him had (and still do) a good friendship and he helped me with a lot of the problems on AKC. Without him AKC would not stand high and mighty as we do now. he had left the clan and formed a new clan called CSF (Counter Strike Forever) Now known as the [Z]ero Clan. Thank you for all your help, [Z]ero.
Well then all of a sudden AKC had received allot of new members including, AKC_Hellstriker, AKC_Mordaki, AKC_Superdave, AKC_Sharpshot and others.
Our forums started to be active and quickly grew to 1000 posts. Today we have over 7000 posts and 1000 Threads or more, 1000+ Shouts and 23 Comments. We were and still are around the Top 5 in the Top 200 AoE clan sites. Playing many custom made maps by our own members, playing ip games and IGZ games everyday we have become one of the most biggest and active clans on the net. As time goes on we have become wiser and stronger as a clan and we will continue to grow on.
Crusaders Version
Every other story has its fallen angel or disgraced Hero. They come in all shapes and sizes. Books, video games, comics, history, and human experiences. Out of this emotional trauma, the Hero is shaped and defined. He grows and he learns. He disappears and he appears. He is knocked down and then he is built back up. He will rise again and he will return. It is in this return, that everything boils down. It is in this type of Story that Pico is defined…
The one and only WGF Pico was booted and removed from WGF. He was charged with fraud, two accounts, and behavior issues. Many players are removed and booted from Clans, but each leaves its lasting impression(Hopefully). However, this time, Pico was innocent. His growing disagreement with the WGF leader, Freak, eventually brought about the “Fallen” in his name. False charges and accusations sent Pico Clan-less in a community that had no other clans for Age of Empires. WGF had been his only alternative, and it is in this exile that Pico forms the AKC clan on March 8th of 2006.
Pico soon realized that a Clan built upon revenge would not last. Not Sure, where to go, Pico journeyed into a new territory. He was not sure how it started or where it began, but it brought him farther then he could imagine. This journey would last several months and as time grew, Pico realized himself. He learned and he studied. He grew and he adapted. Roaming the halls of Gamepark and IGZ, he found a corrupted community. Clans hated each other, they detested one another and they winded aimlessly with no direction. The AoC community was a let down. Acting as a friend first and a mediator , Pico swore to bring law back to the land. He witnessed the debates, the conflicts, and the pointless argues. Bringing his own words to the table, he gave his own judgments, bringing peace to fighters and Rogues. He gave birth to forums for new clans and old ones alike. He worked to unify the clans and swept the debris from the old fights. It was in this time that Pico learned that his Clan needed him more then ever. AKC would not be built on revenge, but a new Standings.
Players alike that just wanted to have a good time, gathered to be apart of something. AKC grew and grew. It was a force to be reckoned with. As AKC advanced, the vision of WGF faded and faded. Without raising a finger, the image of revenge faded as WGF faded itself. There was nothing to take revenge for and Pico decided that this was not about revenge, but bringing your best buds under one roofs. Where AoE players could enjoy themselves. Old friends such as WGF_Didos and WGF_Nurse, removed their tags and joined in Picos Crusade, helping to establish the Strongest AoE Clan in history.
Pico is now the administrator of countless websites, a moderator at the IGZ staff, and maintains his own private client for Age of Empires and gaming. His battered past with WGF has only made him stronger, if not a better person. It has added a story to his long and hard climb to Success. While many, might of gave up and stayed fallen. Pico has proved time and time again, what it means to be a fallen “Hero.”
AKC clan is now by far the strongest AoE Clan to date…Without further review, I welcome to you the “Age of Empire Knights Clan”
