About Team =FFL=
Team =FFL= was started April
26 of 1998, the team was Started by 4 friends that enjoyed online FPS games.
The 4 founding members were Jaguar, Zulu, Roach and Turner. 2 of the
founding members were friends from a group called =2sk= they had just
recently dissolved, the other 2 were relatively new to the world of online
gaming and had been playing as lone wolfs. The 4 friends found that they
spent most of there time online gaming together, so they decided to create
Team FFL.
The original goal of creating
FFL was to create an environment for mature and experienced gamers that wish
to have fun and value
honor and friendship above all else.
Most online FPS groups pick some organization to emulate and to act as the
basic structure for that group, in most cases its some military, or police
unit. In our case after much research we decided upon the French Foreign
Legion. This was decided for the following reasons:
1. They were a special
military unit rich in history,
2. They welcome people
regardless of race or country of origin.
3. We admired the code of
conduct that they live and die by. See here:

So it was decided to use this
outstanding organization as the team figurehead, hence the name Fighting
Foreign Legion.
When FFL was initially
created we did not intend for it to become much larger than the original
members and a few close friends and family members, however over time we
seem to have drawn like minded gamers that hold the same values as the team
was created on. In the past 7+ years we have managed a gradual and
consistent growth to the current membership of today. Also in that time we
have managed to remain an active and respected part of the online gaming
community, this is do to the conduct of out members.
FFL dose not actively recruit
as most online groups do, we tend to only invite people that we have a long
history of gaming with and that have shown that they value the same code of
conduct as the existing membership. However we do invite anyone over 18 that
may be interested to apply, be forewarned however, it can be a very lengthy
process for individuals we have no experience gaming with. The process can
take 30 days at a minimum, and the applicant must receive a unanimous vote
by all current members to be granted full membership.
If you wish to join us in
some online gaming our members can be found playing the following games:
Ravenschield, Bf2, Americas Army and a few others that we are testing for
future use. The best way to find us would be to join our forum and make a
post regarding your interest and background.
Thank you for visiting our
site we hope you enjoy your visit. |
