A lot of this will probably pertain to other people/clans, but NFC is the subject of this thread.
Recently many NFC members have expressed concern and become frustrated with NFC's state and their own unanswered questions. I'm writing this simply as an aid to those people who have demonstrated their qualms to both me personally, and through this thread made around a week ago: https://forum.roblox.com/Forum/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=189551364
I'm not going to try and stir up any emotional bouts of unnecessary insults; rather I'm going to attempt to present what exactly wrong with NFC and how things could improve.
The questions you should be asking:
Q: What is the biggest problem being faced RIGHT NOW?
A: A lack of effective and convincing leadership.
Every clan’s most important assets are its leaders. If a clan has someone at the top that people like, trust, and believe in, members are going to give that person all of their effort and all of their minds. If a clan has nothing else, to survive it HAS to have leaders that are respected. Leaders that people want to follow and commit to because they’re ideas and vision are so convincing.
I’m not trying to insult or call out ezaiahs here, but he’s just not that type of person (Which is completely ok! Not a lot of people are). What we have now is positional leadership. People follow ezaiahs because he has a position; because if they want to be in NFC, they have to. There’s a world of difference between following somebody because you have to and following somebody because you want to. He’s my friend and I like talking to him and playing games with him, but, with complete honesty, he’s just not the leader NFC needs.
But I do want to address some people saying that he hasn’t done anything or that he doesn’t care or whatever, because none of that’s true. Ezaiahs has truly done the absolute best he can and tried everything he can think of to better and restore NFC. But it has to be said that, regardless of ill circumstances, NFC is his responsibility and his alone. That can’t be reasonably denied.
Q: Ok, well what can be done about that?
A: Well, pretty much nothing.
Owning NFC is fun. There’s plenty of reason to hang on to it regardless of its current condition. For most people, realizing it’s ok that not everybody can be a good leader, and that the best thing to do is to give the group to somebody more capable is really hard and usually unthinkable.
In response to people saying there’s no one who ezaiahs could give it to, BelmontLegend255 is who Fireantfive left the group with, It’s well known that bel ran into some unforeseen circumstances and couldn’t lead for long, but he is certainly the type of person I described, and he’s open about his willingness to carry on as NFC’s leader if given the opportunity.
I don’t think anybody expects ezaiahs to give NFC to somebody else, but right now, I don’t see NFC going anywhere. It’s very easy to picture NFC staying how it is now forever, and I believe it will. A clan simply cannot succeed without a good leader.
Q: Well what about problems not pertaining to leadership, like activity?
A: Everything is connected to the leadership coming from the top.
That’s why it seems impossible for anyone to solve any of the problems that they’ve tried to fix. Without the leadership and vision to rally people and hold everything together, every solution is built on a wobbly foundation and won't work for long, if at all.
As a final note:
I really don’t have anything against ezaiahs, and I’m sorry I couldn’t help more, but I’m doing what I can just to try and make the situation a little more transparent for those who are frustrated (including ez), even though this thread isn’t going to make things any better for the clan itself.

If the problem was only my fault then NFC would be far different than what it is right now
I have been trying various things to fix the problem and if everything could magically be fixed by my removal from the equation, as laughable as that is, then we must be living in some sort of fairy tale world of which I cannot comprehend anything as it is too foreign for my puny human mind.
If someone like me, who can spend more time and effort into NFC than anyone currently can, who has access to development venues and plenty of experience and knowhow, cannot fix NFC in its current state then I don't really see how someone even less qualified could somehow fix everything.
This and the other thread merely placed blame while also offering little to no solutions or "you could try this or maybe this"
We do not live in the aforementioned fairy tale world, we live in one where keeping a clan alive and fresh is increasingly hard as the days go and can only be done by reusing the same pot of members that currently exists, something I will not do as it has already proven to only be a temporary solution.
As much as I want to work on a more long term solution, which I actually am, it becomes increasingly more difficult when more and more people seek to place blame rather than offer help.
One final note,
the spoken word means more than cold text. |

Yeah, I come back to Roblox for a bit and notice how dead NFC became... 'twas sad.
I see the last training was hosted on the 26th of May. Most of the HRs back when I was active are still at their same ranks and there are only 2-3 new ones. Note that it has been quite a long time since I last was active in the group. The group should still be able to run somewhat fine even if Ez is slightly inactive. One major problem I see, not just in NFC, is that when someone gets the first rank of HR (or one of the higher HR ranks) they go inactive within a few weeks.
Personally, I see the problem residing in mainly the High Ranks, not just the guy sitting pretty at the top. I see groups where it doesn't matter how active or inactive the leader is, the HRs still host with or without the leader being there by their side. They don't let the group die. But in NFC I see otherwise. Once some people go inactive other HRs don't want to take on the responsibility of picking up the slack produced by those who decided "I got what I wanted, I'm going to disappear now." You don't always need the leader to hold your hand. So don't just blame Ez.
I'm not saying NFC is the ONLY group who does this but it's one of few.
For NFC to get better my suggestions would be:
-- All new HRs and HiCom.
-- No more "Temp" forts. Make one, finish it, and stick with it for crying out loud. (Back when I was actually active Topixa II seemed practically done. Now it says Temp already)
-- New ways to train/have fun to get people more involved? (Idk)
Considering I haven't been around I don't know if 'inactivity/the lack of leadership' are the only problems. From an outsiders view this is how I see it, sorry if it is offensive to anyone within the clan (hoping it's not since I haven;t been back for long and dunno much about this). But from what I have heard so far these are the only suggestions I came up with. I know no one is able to just snap their fingers and these suggestions will be completed but if people don't like the inactivity at least something should be done. |

just bring back good old fashioned topixa, get rid of ez, and bring in new HICOM.
heck i'd rejoin NFC if any of that got done lol, you all are stagnant
SQ is cool

I'll rejoin once the situation is resolved as it's been made clear on numerous occasions that my efforts to resolve the issues within Nightfall Clan are unappreciated.
I wholeheartedly support the issues presented on this thread and I fully support Thelegender in his efforts to pursue a better future for Nightfall Clan. |

Why do you think you are more qualified than some of the people that are interested in leading NFC, Ezahias? |

Reverting back to the past is most definitely not how a group moves forward
Ouch, didn't expect that one

Well Wannebit,
There is only one person whom could take over for me and I think he still needs a bit more time to get the handle of things.

There are several that have some interest who could perform anywhere from better to much better. |

The last person to lead NFC was Fireantfive. You just own it. Be really, stop being so hostile and aggressive. I don't know how much clearer I can make it that I'm not attacking you.
Please just answer me these questions:
1. Why do you feel attacked by the original post of this thread?
2. Do you think you are a good leader?
3. If you thought there was a better person to lead NFC, would you let them?
And seriously, this is a good time to be a voice for reason. I'm really really really not your enemy. |

"The last person to lead NFC was Fireantfive. You just own it. Be really, stop being so hostile and aggressive. I don't know how much clearer I can make it that I'm not attacking you."
You can think what you want leg :/
I'm not being hostile nor am I being aggressive I am merely typing out my responses while eating dinner and chilling on my teamspeak3. However leg, if you wish to become hostile and aggressive I believe you are familiar with how I operate. Honestly I am just a bit saddened but life moves on.
You can think what you will, I've enjoyed my time with NFC and will continue to do so. Also the first and second part of this very statement completely contradicts itself lmao.
1. Why do you feel attacked by the original post of this thread?
I don't really care if people attack me, it happens and I get over it. Things like this happen quite often and I'm used to it by now. I am quite happily talking to people rn just chillin whilst kinda browsing C&G 0_0
2. Do you think you are a good leader?
The only thing I lack is the large sums of money, the free recruitment from ROBLOX and an already built structure with everything else spoon fed into my mouth.
3. If you thought there was a better person to lead NFC, would you let them?
There is none yet, I know what you want and I am not going to adhere to some whim of a far off power. If one has not taken interest in NFC for the past 2 years then one will have no place in it now unless one work for it like everyone else has and how everyone else will.
